The Wellness Place, Betty McDonald LAc. - Palm Desert, California

For several years, Betty has given me acupuncture treatments to improve my health, so I was thrilled to find out she was expanding her practice to include skin care. I have had Botox and used fillers, so I was interested in having Microneedling. I'm always cold so she knows to cover me with a blanket and two infrared lamps before beginning the treatment. It didn't hurt and the only place that was sensitive was over my cheekbones. My skin was tight and pink afterward, so I stayed out of the sun as she advised me. I have read everything about microneedling, so I am optimistic it will become part of my skincare future.

So far freaking good! Stay tuned for updated post we're experimenting right now. Regardless I have before and after pictures of micro needling with a small needle and we're going to go for a bigger needle but the results have been spectacular thus far.

And by the way if you're not wanting an honest answer from a healthcare expert don't come to Betty because she's going to tell you exactly how it is. I admire that truthfulness. 🌺

Betty helped me diagnose a health issue I have been dealing with for 20 years. I saw allergists, dermatologists and even went to the emergency room with no success. She helps think outside the box and has tests to find the root cause of your issue that traditional doctors don’t use because insurance doesn’t cover it. Mine is mold related, and although it will be a long journey, I feel such relief to finally know I am on the path to healing.You’d be surprised how many health conditions stem from mold exposure. As others said, she is a direct communicator because she truly cares and wants you to learn how to have optimum health. If you are ready to do a deep dive and are willing to make the changes necessary to help your body heal, Betty is your lady! Working with functional medicine practitioners is different than traditional doctors. You get to communicate what you’re feeling and get your questions answered and you actually get more than 10 minutes to do it. I’ve seen other practitioners as I traveled and no one has cared or invested so much of their own time as Betty has. I truly feel she is a partner in my healing and I am grateful to have found her.

Just left after getting micro needling by the owner Betty. She is awsome. Would recommend The Welness Place. To anyone for accupuncture for health and beauty. Very affordable. And the treatments are very effective.
Also called The Wellness Center.

She’s experienced , knowledgeable and not whoo hoo, …in addition to Accupuncture, she has other modalities she uses, an experienced pro who does the research of my particular issue and continues after my visits to find new studies that support supplements, foods, ozone, etc, to heal and improve outcome faster
as a western physician, I’ve sought Betty’s excellent care for shingles( it worked), and now , bells palsy. Shes gentle, quick, sure, and has vast amount of knowledge I don’t. The two people giving bad reviews here seem to be involved with same case/ issue /patient, which Betty didn’t treat. Too bad for them, she’s my favorite in the desert, sounds like she was able to do an assessment over the phone and was unable to help them. I wonder if they got pregnant, PCos is hard to get pregnant. Maybe their doctor gave them unreasonable expectations. Anyway, Betty is an amazing healer, she has dedicated her life’s work to helping others.

Betty is a caring and knowledgeable practitioner. She helped me tremendously with post concussion symptoms and then our relationship expand as I learned how knowledgeable she was about holistic health. She has a wealth of information and if you are truly wanting to dive deep int your healing, she is a great resource to tap into

Definition of Holistic medicine is an attitudinal approach to health care rather than a particular set of techniques. It addresses the psychological, familial, societal, ethical and spiritual as well as biological dimensions of health and illness.

VIA phone call for Accupuncture Betty McDonald was anything but Holistic- she was incredibly rude, insensitive and disrespectful to my daughter who is in the thralls of IVF. She told her that she should give up the idea of having a baby with PCOS- she asked her health questions over the phone and determined that she was unhealthy and further advised her that a baby deserves a healthy mother. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS AND DISGUSTING way to treat a woman that is trying desperately to have a child- DO BETTER BETTY
