Divine Puzzle Angela Sinnett brings depth and heart to healing through Magnolia Wellness and tells how her clinic inspires gratitude and transformation
WRITTEN BY CRISTINA DEPTULA
I n the heart of California’s Orange County, Angela Sinnett and other holistic health practitioners offer services including acupuncture and essential oil treatments through Magnolia Wellness. When asked what wellness services can offer people on top of regular Western medicine, she replied, “This is such a great question! Depth. The level of depth, understanding, and rapport you build with a patient when you have time to dig into their physical and emotional history makes for a totally different experience.” Wellness practices are not dictated by the rules of most American insurance companies so initial office visits can be 75 minutes as opposed to the seven-minute industry standard in Western medicine. Some Magnolia patients come in nervous about acupuncture, and Sinnett and her colleagues take the time to make them feel comfortable. “Many people have fears about needles. It’s not uncommon when someone comes in for the first time. Most have already taken the first step to conquer their fear by even making the appointment and when they come in person, I get the chance to walk them through a demonstration. First I start by showing them the needle and then I’ll place a very thin needle in my own hand and perform acupuncture on myself. If they’re still feeling scared, then I offer press needles, ear seeds or essential oils. This can’t often be the case with kids but most of the adults say, “Ahh, that’s nothing!” after seeing it and choose to proceed with the acupuncture.”
