Evolve Health + Wellness

"We've worked with Dr. Knightly several times including a couple of patient referrals and he's incredible. One of the best doctors, not just psychiatrists. He's knowledgable, kind, and compassionate, and I've seen his work help people heal from some very difficult experiences. I can't recommend him enough."

"I am in absolute awe of Dr. Nina's level of care and healing wisdom. I came into the clinic having experienced a bout of what I had come to assume was some version of post-viral fatigue for about four months. Having previously been a very active person, I found myself with symptoms I just couldn't shake: Breathlessnes, Brain Fog, Persistent Exhaustion, Post Exercise Fatigue, etc. Even walking around the block had gotten hard all of a sudden. I just felt like my body was really brittle all of a sudden and sleep and rest were no help. Prior to coming to Evolve, I had gone to conventional healthcare providers / specialists (to literally no benefit whatsoever), I tried no shortage of supplements, added breath work, slowed down my commitments, reduced my exercise levels, and just generally was trying a LOT of different things. Having gone down the many rabbit holes of Reddit and reading horror stories from folks in Long Covid / CFS groups who had symptoms that looked like my own -- and ultimately worsened by trying to return to their previous activity levels too fast -- I was starting to get pretty resigned to thinking this would be a long-term chronic condition I would have to manage or at least one that would take me a LONG time to recover from fully. I came to the Evolve clinic on the spur of a recommendation from another wellness provider I went to. I assumed I was going to get some kind of "acupuncture massage" -- and wasn't expecting much else. To my surprise, I found in Dr. Nina a kind of wellness support that I honestly had assumed no longer existed. She was warm, attentive, asked holistic questions, showed genuine care, and was able to make a range of deductions about was going on with me. Some of her early assessments about my profile shocked me at how accurate they were. Throughout our conversation, she conveyed a very strong conviction that this was something my body could heal from (even while I expressed some resignation to a lowered state). As someone who knew nothing about Chinese medicine, I valued greatly her explanations on how TCM saw a condition like mine. This was a TOTAL contrast to my primary care provider, who basically told me: "Well, you're not dying" and sort of shoo'ed me off. After that first session, Dr. Nina prescribed a personal concoction of Chinese herbs. I took the herbs dutifully for two weeks. Came back for another session two weeks later -- then went off with another round of herbs. Then came back for a third session after another two weeks. And honestly.... to my absolute surprise, by the third session. I felt totally like myself. I felt clear-headed. I could power through workouts -- without the blow-back of symptoms I had been experiencing before. I had my old stamina again. It was a total shock to me that after about 6 weeks of treatment -- I could have recovered so much ground having spent months in a limbo state. Obviously, my experience was very personal to me. And I'm sure others' journeys might look very different. But I offer all this to say: If you've been searching around for health/wellness support and have found yourself disappointingly frustrated -- you owe it to yourself to give the Evolve Clinic and Dr. Nina a chance. You might end up with a successful experience like my own. Or at the very least, you'll find yourself supported by an incredibly compassionate provider who will honor your experience, offer you wisdom from a vein of traditional medicine that has been around for centuries, and just give you hope that someone else is here to help you find a path forward. Can't recommend Dr. Nina and the Evolve clinic enough!"

"Hands down the best acupuncture and herbology practice in the tri-state area. I highly recommend."
