I came to Elif's healing practice after I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). I was told that I would have to be on some kind of medication for the rest of my hormonal life. Whether it was oral contraceptive (birth control), Metformin to regulate insulin production, or a period-inducer every three months to keep the flow going, Western medicine has no cure, and not a single solution I like. My hormones levels were completely out of whack (very high testosterone levels, and very low estrogen levels), and, without becoming melodramatic, I felt like a fraud of a woman. I didn't think I would ever have a normal moon cycle again, and I feared that I would not be able to have children without undergoing hormone treatment. A dear healer and friend of mine recommended me to Elif, saying confidently, "This woman will get you to bleed." We started working together in January, right after I received the abnormal results from the bloodwork indicating PCOS. Elif's knowledge of Eastern medicine, herbs, and energies, coupled with her intuition and enthusiasm for this modality make her a superb healer. She combined and alternated protocols and made careful considerations of each step, based on my current condition - whether I was stressed, tired, sensitive, etc. She helped me modify my diet and regulate my intake of some stressors, like caffeine and tobacco, and was persistent beyond her own expectations. Finally, five months later, after pursuing only Elif's prescribed course of action - with a modified diet, Chinese herbs, and acupuncture, I got my first moon cycle in almost two years, and I have continued to moon since. We celebrated together, both crying at the amazing potential of my newfound womanhood and fertility, and at the astounding power of Chinese medicine in Elif's hands to bring about what Western medicine said was not possible. As I write this, I am waiting to go in for what will probably be my last appointment with Elif for some time, because rather than hooking me forever to pharmaceuticals or consoling me with some palliative, Elif has actually restored balance in my body, and taught me ways to maintain it. She cured me of PCOS, and I'm not the only one. Beyond being a skillful and knowledgeable healer, Elif is genuinely caring, insightful, and absolutely hilarious. I cannot recommend her highly enough to women seeking hormonal balance, especially those diagnosed with PCOS. read more

I have been enjoying the benefits of acupuncture for almost a year. I suffered from terrible hay fever in the late summer and was seeking relief, so I thought I'd try acupuncture. Elif Kuzu came highly recommended from a friend. After an in depth discussion about my health, I started treatment. Wow! After the gentle placement of the first three needles, my sinuses opened up and I hold breath through my nose! I noticed relief of my allergy symptoms during this initial treatment and continued to work with Elif to help balance my body in an attempt to reduce my reactionary and inflammatory allergic response. I admire Elif's genuine concern for my well being. I feel like she really listens and takes the time to get to know you. After responding so well to my initial treatments, I have continued to seek Elif's help when I get out of whack. Most recently, she helped me to relax the muscles in my neck and shoulders. A combination of stress, poor posture and too much computer time really had me in a tangle! The treatment for muscular stiffness is unrivaled and provides instant relief. I started at a chiropractor, but it became clear that if I didn't get my muscles to cooperate, this cycle of pain and stiffness would persist. After 2 treatments and a conscious effort to maintain proper posture, I have full range of motion and no pain! It's hard to verbalize the extent to which Elif's knowledge and skills have positively impacted my health! Give acupuncture with Elif Kuzu a try. It's one of the best investments in your health you can make... This is powerful medicine! read more

I was first skeptical about needles inserted in my body. But after my first treatment I was hooked! Not only can you NOT feel anything, but after the treatment, you feel so much better. I first went to Elif Kuzu with help with stress, and boy did it get the job done. She first spoke to me about my health issues, which included alot of stress, asthma problems, and my sluggish metabolism. After a brief chat, we hit the ground running. She gave me a treatment for each, all in 1 session. I felt the stress right away. I mean, I felt like I was floating on cloud 9. You have to try it to believe it, but trust me, it was an amazing feeling. For my asthma, after the first treatment, I felt my breathing was better. I was able to inhale more air. So much so, that I stopped using my rescue inhaler, and still don't use it! For my sluggish metabolism, I've noticed I have more energy, and along with diet, exercise, AND acupuncture, I have seen the results when diet and exercise alone didn't do much. If you want to try acupuncture, I highly recommend Elif. She is such a positive energy, and will motivate you to make you live your life the way you want to. She is straightforward, and listens to all your complaints, and somehow, always makes you feel comfortable. That's the word...comfortable. I feel like I've known her for years, and that's pretty important when it comes to my health. Acupuncture with Elif rocks! read more

So, one year later I am posting another review for Elif Kuzu. I called her after getting out of the hospital one day. I had an ear infection, was prescribed amoxicillin, and 7 days after taking it, I had an allergic reaction. I was head to toe covered in hives, I also had started to go into anaphylactic shock!! They shot me in the leg with an epy, prescribed me a steroid to take twice a day, Claritin for the day, Benadryl for the night. After day 2 or 3 of that, plus a rich cream to put on my skin, I hardly had any progress. I couldn't work, because I'm in the service industry! She asked me a bunch of questions, and specifically formulated some Chinese herbs to mix with hot water and drink like a tea. From one day of taking that I had obvious progress! Day 2 and 3 even more so! Then I went to her for acupuncture, to get rid of the rest, and get my immune system back in motion. She also did cupping on my back, which I have to say was immediate relief! She also gave me some needles to help me relax and sleep better! I slept better than I had in months that night, my back felt absolutely amazing, and my skin is back to normal which is PRICELESS! Again, I have to give Elif all the credit in healing me, getting me back on my feet & having the knowledge and compassion to go above and beyond anything I could ever ask for! read more

I have been married for 21 years and have had issues with my partner regarding communication and almost got a divorce. A friend go mine told me about Evox and how it helped her depression but she said it helps with other things to. I decided to try it. I first saw practitioner Josiah for myself then after our first session he suggested bringing my husband in for a couples Evox treatment. After that we did a whole family session. Then finally a last session by myself again. After getting 4 sessions total our relationship traumatically changed! Now I do not get angry when speaking to him or responding to him and I actually respond in a kind way which he absolutely appreciates. I notice he is more patient with me. Our kids are no longer afraid mom and dad will be getting a divorce anytime soon. I cannot say enough about Practitioner Josiah, he is an excellent listener, very patient person and truly knows how to help relationships become more aware their underlining problems. He has truly helped my entire family and I highly recommend him to anyone needing help. I just sent my cousin for food addictions and cannot wait to hear her results. Thank you so much, Josiah for helping our family stay together. We are forever grateful for you. read more

Three months ago, I started seeing Elif for severe digestive illness/ SIBO which started after a bout of food poisoning. I could barely eat, I had no appetite or energy, I felt nauseous, bloated, constipated, and sick all the time. Elif is a very skilled practitioner, as well as having such a nurturing, strong, and healing presence. The customized blend of Chinese herbs that she mixes up for me each week have been slowly healing my gut, and the acupuncture has been working on an energetic/ nervous system level to balance out my energy and strengthen my whole body. She was also helpful in guiding my diet to support my healing. My digestion has been strengthening, I have been regaining my energy back, I'm able to eat more foods again, and I'm getting my life back! Healing through Chinese medicine takes time and patience, but it works! Elif has been so skillful and patient with me as I have gone through a lot of anxiety and stress about my illness, helping me to work with my emotions as well as my body. Chinese medicine addresses the physical, emotional and energetic levels of healing. Thank you, Elif for being such an important part of my healing journey! read more

Dr. Elif Kuzu's intuitive and multi-faceted healing approach has been immensely relieving for me. After many months of gradual recovery from various healing sessions with physical therapist, massage therapist, other Acupuncturist, Chiropractors, and Doctors...Dr. Kuzu's first treatment honestly left me feeling normal again for some time after months of struggling with a spectrum of symptoms and deep trauma. Her own experiences with pain and recovery really make it easy for me to communicate the internal sensations; often times I've encountered doctors that lack similar experiences and are unable to contextualize and sympathize with my descriptions of symptoms and feelings. Her formal education in Traditional Chinese Medicine really shines in providing wholesome treatment--my first session with Dr. Kuzu involved diet suggestions, Chinese herbal medicine, essential oil & flower essence application, hara massage, needle work in muscle release and acupuncture points within a relaxing therapeutic place. I'm very grateful for Dr. Kuzu's intervention and assistance in my recovery and I plan on sending others her way. read more

I am grateful to have seen Elif because she empowered me to return to my body. To feel it's pulsations, and its whispers. Elif is so very passionate about what she does, about the people she serves. You can feel it in her care, as she tends to your physical body, as well as your emotional body. It genuinely is her life's work to bring forth this powerful medicine. One of the unique things about Elif's offering is that her desire is to promote your health and empower your relationship with your body so that you do not need to see her forever to be healthy. She shares her vast wisdom of the body with you, so you may begin to see how to care for yourself, how to nourish yourself in the long term. She bridges the gap between Chinese tradition and the western mind, allowing these practices to be approachable and applicable. I am deeply grateful for my experiences with Elif and the healing that has, and continues, to arise. I appreciate her strength as a medicine woman, and her wisdom as a healer, and her compassion as a human being. I absolutely recommend Elif! read more

Okay, so last night at about 5 am I woke up with an itch on my hand. As I began to give it a small scratch it began to get worse and seemed to travel to the other hand. I then realized that my entire body was one giant itchy surface. It turns out that the down blanket that I was sleeping with, I was allergic too. I had broke out in hives all over my body. A few hours later I was able to get in contact with Boulder Body Acupuncture & Meassage. Dr. Elif Kuzu was able to diagnose my symptoms over the phone and suggest an antihistamine herbal formula for me to pickup. In just 30 minutes after taking the herbal formula, and a cool shower the itchiness was gone and the hives were just about all gone. This has happened to me once before. I used a common over the counter product and it did not work as effectively or as quickly. I would highly recomend her to everyone. In addition with COVID19,​ this clinic was also able to give me a ​bottle of an all natural very effective hand sanitizer with anti-viral properties. Thank you so much for helping me! read more

Elif is a very gifted healer, and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. She has a warm and welcoming presence that makes you feel comfortable discussing any and all health issues. I decided to go to acupuncture because I was feeling desperate about a variety of health issues that were not being solved by modern medicine or other alternative methods. My symptoms included chronic back and sciatica pain, anxiety, and insomnia. After the most thorough and detailed intake I have ever experienced, Elif gave me my first treatment. I immediately felt more balanced and at peace after receiving acupuncture, which was very painless. Elif gave me several lifestyle and dietary suggestions to improve my well being that really helped. She did an amazing treatment to my sciatica that immediately relieved the pain, and she fixed the low back pain/stiffness that neither yoga or chiropractic had really affected. Best of all, acupuncture treatments have eased my stress and anxiety levels and given me a greater sense of internal well being. read more

I had a surgery a few years ago that I had a real hard time recovering from given that I had arthritis in both knees before the surgery. I went to her when the recovery was not going well and I still didn't have full flexion or extension after completing the normal PT that was recommended by the doctor. After some treatments from Elif, the time to full recovery was very fast. Now I'm back to playing outdoor and indoor soccer full speed with full use of my legs. Acupuncture definitely works and Elif is awesome!! I was apprehensive about someone sticking needles in my body but after my first appointment with Elif I was very much over that. She made me feel very comfortable and she is very communicative which helps greatly since everyone has different sensitivity levels different concerns. I would definitley recommend her for anyone looking into acupuncture for the first time as well as future visits. read more

I used to suffer from chronic back pain and stiffness for several years... Being an active individual, playing basketball, working out, softball, and golf. I lost all ability to participate in any of these activities that I loved. I tried everything from Chiropractors to Medical experts and they couldn't give me anything but temporary relief. I would normally be pretty skeptical about the effectiveness of needles being shoved into your body. I was desperate, and Elif convinced me that acupuncture could help. So I tried it and after a few painless treatments. I have felt better than I have in about 5 years. I can run and work out and play sports again. Its so encouraging how great you feel after one treatment. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone who's feeling pain or stressed, anxiety or even sickness. I am a 100% believer in the medicine of Acupuncture and Elif's abilities. read more

As a retired massage therapist, I had tried acupuncture in the past, but didn't have clear results. I am now a firm believer in the healing power of acupuncture from being treated by Elif. I was experiencing low energy, hot flashes, and trouble in sleeping. Over just a couple of weeks, my hot flashes went away. Away! I am also happy to report that in just a month, my sleep was better and as a result, my energy has increased. I have clarity of mind, can concentrate better, and have a positive outlook. This is a huge improvement than what I was going through before. I highly recommend Elif for acupuncture treatments. In addition to her treatments she has also designed herbal remedies which support my thyroid for better weight loss. Elif has treated me for hypoglycemia and I am getting results in fat reduction that I have not seen in years. Thank you Elif! read more

Yaklaşık bir yıl önce felç geçirdim ve bize sunulan tüm yöntemleri denedim. Ama kimse Akupunkturdan bahsetmedi. Keşke olsalar çünkü iyileşmemde en çok bu etkiyi yarattı. Akupunkturu ilk kez denedim. Felç geçirdiğimden beri koşmadım ve ikinci kafa derisi Akupunktur seansım sırasında ilk kez koşabildim. Çok heyecanlanmıştım. Bu benim için dünyalar demekti. Ayrıca sağ tarafımdaki ayak baş parmağımı da felçten etkilenen taraf olduğu için hareket ettiremedim ve şimdi tekrar hareket ettirebiliyorum. Gücüm arttı, enerjim ve motivasyonum çok daha iyi. Dr. Elif Kuzu ile sadece iki Akupunktur seansından sonra tekrar normal olacağımı biliyorum. Son derece minnettarım ve onu ve Akupunkturu her inme hastasına şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum. Kesinlikle denemelisin! Hayatınızı değiştirecek. read more

Elif is an outstanding acupuncture practitioner. Over the last two years, Elif helped me recover from depleted kidney, liver and lung conditions, and a year ago, pneumonia in the left lung. Completely recovered. I had a flu this winter but it didn't get serious, thanks to Elif's assistance. Her skill with needles and cupping is incredible, and the sessions are deep and rejuvenating. She is well versed in the effects of various foods on the physiology. For toning, balancing, calming, and digestive, Elif uses DoTerra oils which are simply the best. Her treatment room is equipped with a surround sound system which is simply amazing to experience during needle "soak" time. Elif earns my highest recommendation. read more

I have had many episodes of sciatica pain throughout the years due to working in construction. Then a friend recommended I see a Doctor of Acupuncture at Boulder Body Balance Acupuncture & Massage. I had Acupuncture once before and it truly worked for my knee pain but did not think that it would get rid of sciatica pain. After about 10 sessions I no longer experienced any pain at all. My Doctor said it is chronic so I would need more sessions to really have long term results. So I followed the plan and I can say I am pain-free. Thanks so much for everything, I can have my life back to normal. I highly recommend anyone who is experiencing​ long term pain to check this place out, they can truly help you! read more

I purchased a Zyto/Evox treatment from Boulder Body Balance Acupuncture and Massage at a local charity auction. I was skeptical, but thought I had nothing to lose. As a therapist, I've experienced many types of therapy as a provider and client. The Zyto/Evox treatment provided more healing than could have been achieved in multiple sessions of conventional therapy. For people who have had a lot of counseling, but still experience symptoms, I highly recommend a Zyto/Evox session. It's an excellent addition to counseling and moves energy in a way that's not easy to achieve in counseling alone. It only took one treatment to see the power and effectiveness of the Zyto/Evox method. read more

First rate treatment! After injuring my right bicep and talking with a paramedic and two other physicians, they all said I needed surgery...the normal procedure but I know and felt that it wasn't that severe. My arm was quite functional with no swelling with mild bruising. Gotta say after 2 visits for acupuncture the bruising faded away (meaning like 99% gone!),and my arm has recovered drastically! I'm able to do my every day tasks, pouring, brushing teeth, open doors/jars/drinks, shifting gears in my car, etc! I can't do my 45lbs dumbbell curls just yet but in time it'll come! I will defiantly schedule more visits when Doc Kuzu is available! Thank You so much! read more
