What Patients Commonly Share About Their Experience at Yinstill
Across years of patient feedback and shared reflections, a few themes come up consistently:
- More than clinical care: many describe feeling steadied, supported, and held – especially during uncertainty, loss, or major transitions.
- A calm, welcoming environment: people often notice the atmosphere and the intentional pace of care.
- Feeling safe and oriented: from the physical space to how appointments unfold, patients commonly feel respected, grounded, and clearly guided.
- Whole-person support: many share that they’re met as a whole individual – not reduced to symptoms, diagnoses, or timelines.
- Relational and consistent care: patients often describe a steady practitioner relationship, with care that adapts as needs evolve.
- Shifts beyond the physical: some reflect on changes in emotional wellbeing, self-trust, and confidence in their bodies over time.
- A steady place to return to: for some, Yinstill becomes a consistent support during a particularly tender chapter of life.

To say that the care and services of the staff at Yinstill were paramount to my success would be an understatement
On the eve of the birth of my first child, I find it important to reflect and give gratitude to the people who played an intricate part of my success. I first came to Yinstill on August 12th,
Stress relief during a very Stressful time
The acupuncture from Sean was great for stress relief during a very stressful time. I truly felt that it allowed me to experience total relaxation which I’m sure helped to bring about a positive result.

20 YEAR JOURNEY COMPLETED!
Wow, I’m not sure where to begin, I think the title alone says a lot. I just wish I had learned about Spence a lot sooner. I first learnt of Spence from a flyer in the waiting room of the IVF office in the fall of 2008.
Forever grateful for the chance encounter that day
A chance conversation between my wife and a new mother first brought us to Dr. Pentland. The new mom had a beautiful baby with her, but told us she’d sadly lost her first when five months pregnant.
I can’t even describe what an incredible experience I had with Spence, both in terms of the person, and the treatment I received
He came very highly recommended to help deal with an fertility problem my wife and I were having and quickly morphed into a total body and mind experience. I felt so incredible after each treatment,
Message of appreciation for allergy relief and increased energy
I wanted to take a moment to send you a message of appreciation for Tuesday’s appointment. Thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to my whirlwind of symptoms and treating me as you did.
Immediate trust in his ability as a healer
“His confident yet gentle healing technique caused me to immediately trust his ability as a healer.”
I have been a patient of Spence Pentland for approximately 3 months. I have been receiving treatment for pain and numbness in my arms.
May you be forever blessed as much as we are
Dear Spence,
After several mainful years of infertility with no answers as to ‘why’ other than my ever-increasing age, I decided to work with Dr. Pentland as a last ditch effort along with my last attempt at ivf and icsi.
I would highly recommend Yinstill and Lara…
I reached out to Yinstill after a year and a half of struggling to conceive. I saw Lara for acupuncture treatments and she was great! She listened to me and worked with me to create a plan for improving my fertility.
Beyond my gratitude for her support
My journey with Junko started about three years ago and I now consider acupuncture sessions with her an important part of maintaining health and returning to health when I get overly stressed or make less good choices.
