Hello fair citizens of Oui! I come back from a 2-week illness with tidings of joy and hope on the horizon.

Yes, it is true, the international man of acupuncture mystery, Dr. Seth Hague, is returning stateside in October, for just 8 weeks! 

I have *never* felt better than when I was getting regular acupuncture with Dr. Seth – my mood, skin, and energy all improved tremendously!

Please see the attached flyer for more information. I’ve also included some testimonials from patients who were able to see Dr. Seth when he was here in April.

He is a native of Shreveport but has lived and run his own acupuncture clinic in Salvador, Brazil, for the last twenty years. He literally lives in a house by the ocean where Oui are all invited to come visit, or so I’ve told myself.

Even though I am trained in Western Medicine, as a daughter of Indian descent I am a big believer in the Eastern approach to health. It treats the body, spirit, and emotions as one and doesn’t ignore the effects of stress on your quality of life. It’s actually very *NSYNC (not Backstreet Boys) with our philosophy as a medical practice – plants before pills, and prescription JOY!

He has an international fan following as seen here

Dr. Seth has a PhD in Political Theory from Essex University. He has trained in acupuncture with Dr. Quang in New Orleans and has also apprenticed with Master Tue Tham in Hue, Vietnam.  In addition to establishing his own practice in Bahia, he is also a midwife of ten years and has helped many women and men with fertility, hormonal,  and sexuality issues. 

He also became an acupuncture detox specialist trained at the Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx after Katrina. He has given several workshops to medical students at the Federal University of the Recôncavo in Bahia , Brazil over the last 10 years on ear acupuncture and eastern medicine.

You know I am a big fan of ALL THE TOOLS IN THE TOOLKIT! I highly recommend scheduling an appointment and taking advantage of as many sessions as you can get in before he returns to South America!

Patient testimonials:
“Dr. Seth made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. I walked in nervous but left feeling amazing! I am so thankful Dr. Jaya basically forced me to do this lol. Highly recommend 10/10 would let this man stick needles in me again.”
-Kim Middleton, Menopause Survivor to Thriver

“Dr. Seth was so knowledgeable and made me feel completely comfortable with the process of the treatment! I had extreme shoulder and neck pain that improved tremendously as well as my cycle becoming more regulated! I would absolutely recommend everyone letting Dr. Seth poke some needles in you!”
-Samantha McGee, perimenopause survivor and soon-to-be Reiki master

“This was my first time to receive acupuncture and I have only rave reviews! Dr. Seth is so thorough with his time and technique and I felt like a brand new woman after it was all said and done!”
-Cherish McCormick, Nurse to the Stars and recent transplant from LA, so you know she bougie enough to trust

Before Oui Go….

If I have recommended Brandon Venden from Second Nature Chiropractic to any of you, NOW IS THIS TIME TO GET ON HIS BOOKS. He is a chiropractor but to me a DEEP TISSUE DIAGNOSTICIAN. I was recently so ill with severe back pain that I had to go to the ER. I almost agreed to being admitted but had a feeling that my back pain was not related to anything GI (which is why they wanted to admit me). I told myself if Brandon couldn’t figure it out, I would go back to the ER and rack up that thousands-of-dollars hospital bill that I in no way can afford. 

WELL, Brandon figured out that my diffuse back pain (which I initially thought was pancreatitis) was coming from my SI joint. Through hands-on diagnosis (a LOST art in Western Medicine!), he was able to reduce the pain enough that I could sleep without screaming. Within two days I was off pain pills completely. 

He’s a wizard, Harry. Had I stayed in the hospital (which wasn’t the WRONG call, because I DID have some abnormal GI stuff going on), I would have undergone two procedures that I probably don’t need and my back pain would be worse, because the pain meds would have just made me constipated and not addressed the actual source of my pain.

Don’t get me wrong, I am so glad that there is an ER where I can go in an emergency. But now more than ever, after sidestepping an unnecessary hospitalization by trusting my instincts and getting evaluated by Brandon, I realize the need for FUNCTIONAL, WHOLE-PERSON MEDICINE to PREVENT ILLNESS. The whole point of the Oui Doctor is SLOW medicine, so that there *aren’t* emergencies. Whether it’s diabetes or stroke or heart attack or chronic pain, Oui can do SO MUCH by focusing on prevention and overall wellness that fine tunes the body in ways that traditional medicine ignores.

Having practitioners like Dr. Seth and Brandon are a big part of that, and I COULD NOT BE MORE GRATEFUL personally and professionally to have them in our wellness community.

Brandon is booking out until November, but just like Dr. Seth, there is no substitute for his mastery of skill in his field. They are both my secret weapons for anyone with chronic pain, mobility issues, or anything involving autoimmune and connective tissue conditions – Ehlers Danlos, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, MCAS, POTS — these patients are often overlooked or overmedicated or NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY by traditional doctors. Both Seth and Brandon are ports in the storm for the havoc these syndroms can wreak on your body. PRIORITIZE YOURSELF AND YOUR HEALTH! Text or call Brandon @ 318-402-9544 to get scheduled, and tell them Dr. Jaya sent you! <3 

XOXO,

Your friendly neighborhood Oui Doctor,

Dr. Jaya
