As runner and cyclist, this is injury common, but I'd unsuccessfully tried everything to resolve the issue (including physical therapy for electrical stimulation, which was neither fun nor comfortable!). Although Tressa specializes in Chinese herbology and acupuncture, I wanted to first try massage and then move to acupuncture if necessary--she was accommodating to those wishes. Tressa is an *excellent* deep tissue masseur and is frighteningly knowledgeable ("have you been wearing heels a lot lately?" she tactfully asked when she noticed new lower-leg inflexibility from one appointment to the next--I felt so busted!) It was also fun to talk shop with her: as a fellow runner, she was up on the musculoskeletal issues that endurance athletes contend with, and she understood the demands of training and had realistic suggestions for working towards a solution within the scope of my training plan. Although I haven't had an acupuncture appointment with her, I've heard from a friend that that's where Tressa really shines. Her passion for the practice and for wellness generally is apparent and contagious. I will definitely be back to see her should I have any future issues--wish I'd heard about this lady when I was a bloated pregnant cow and physically miserable...

Sarah has been my acupuncturist for four years. I have seen her for treatment on a weekly basis,…read moreand her positive impact on my health has been amazing. She's a gifted caregiver and a wonderful person. She partners with her patients in helping them find ways to overcome disease and injury, and offers treatments that give one's body the ability to heal. During the time I have been Sarah's patient, I have dealt with both injury and disease. I had a serious bicycle crash with multiple pelvis fractures, and the threat of liver disease. In these cases and others, Sarah's treatment has provided rapid healing. I don't think every acupuncturist or medical practitioner is the same. I don't think they all have the same ability. Sarah is a cut above the field, which is why she has been mentored by Dr. Jeffrey Dann, a world-renowned leader in the practice of Japanese medicine.

She took x-rays on my first visit to evaluate my specific issues and needs and her prices are very reasonable. Lisa is great and always follows up on scheduling and appointments.

She didn't mean to damage me, but she did and I need other others to know. I have well- known contraindications, which I didn't know. It's been nearly 2 years since these 2 sessions, and the results have continued, horrifically, to worsen with time. I now look 20 years older because of the destruction of my collagen and fat. I waited so long to write this review because I kept hoping that maybe everything I was doing myself to heal my face would help, or magically I would recover--but the extreme damage has only declined. Plus, it's crushing to my spirit to make this public declaration against Alexandra and her work. And I also hoped that she would help me--yet shockingly she hasn't, which has just furthered exacerbated the heartbreak and horrors of this experience. The damage to my face destroyed my self-worth and my life. Please, please be warned about micro needling with Alexandra.

Investing in sessions with Dr. Amorette has been such a gift to myself, body and mind. I came in to see her to work on issues with my pericardium, allergies, and chronic neck and jaw pain. I've experienced significant improvements in all of the above. Also, our sessions have felt like an important weekly reset and for me as a sensitive person working in healthcare.

My thyroid is healing (better lab results already) and I can tell that my hormones are happier from how my cycles have been. From the very first session, her patience, kindness, and warmth made me feel instantly at ease, like reuniting with an old friend. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable in acupuncture but also deeply intuitive and thoughtful in her approach. I strongly feel that Amorette genuinely cares about my progress, both with my health and my future pregnancy, which is so meaningful to me. Along with acupuncture, she also offers amazing fire cupping and shiatsu massage (immediately alleviates my back and neck tension), as well as e-stim and moxibustion (obsessed - it is so grounding). She even incorporates a beautiful organic face spray from Rebecca's Apothecary, which is so soothing and is like the cherry on top of an already amazing experience. Another plus is that her treatment beds are warm, cozy, and incredibly comfortable! :) Her space is yet another highlight--it's serene, peaceful, has natural light streaming in, and even features amethysts embedded in the wood floor, adding a magical energy to the treatment room. Also, booking is super easy - I never have to be on a waitlist and if I need to shift my appointments there is always another spot that works out! If you couldn't tell already, I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Amorette is truly one of the sweetest, most compassionate people I've met, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, holistic support on their wellness journey.

Robert Underwood, of Good Life Acupuncture and Wellness Center in Longmont, receives rave reviews,…read moreand therefore I was truly hopeful and confident that the acupuncture and herbal treatments provided by him would help to improve my health. Unfortunately, I lost confidence in Robert Underwood for the following reasons: - Robert Underwood treated me using Moxibustion, a type of traditional Chinese medicine that involves the burning of dried mugwort (moxa) on or near particular points of the body. The procedure he used caused 2nd/3rd degree burns to my abdomen. - Prior to treatment, I asked Robert Underwood if he had ever had any burn incidences with this procedure. He said "no", and failed to disclose the risks. - Robert Underwood placed the shallow container with the burning moxa on my abdomen and left me unattended in the room by myself with no call button. The container fell over and started burning my skin while I was laying, in and out of consciousness, on my back with needles in my body. I screamed for him three times before he came back to the room. By that time, I had managed to jump off the table. But the damage had already been done. - Robert Underwood did not provide proper first aid and infection control following the injury. Instead of immediately washing the site and applying a cool compress followed by a petroleum jelly product and sterile bandaging, which is the protocol for such burns per directions from my doctor, he instructed me to use my dirty finger to rub anesthetic gel into the unwashed burned area that was covered with bits of charcoal. He did not use a sterile bandage to cover the burn because he could not find any in the first aid kit. Instead, he used a non-sterile paper towel and office tape. - I walked into Robert Underwood's office with no burns anywhere on my body. I walked out with 2nd and 3rd degree burns to my abdomen and to the inside of my navel. While Robert Underwood did issue a refund, he has refused to acknowledge that he did anything wrong. Robert Underwood used a treatment that is potentially dangerous, he left the room, he did not leave a call button in case of emergency, he did not have a fully stocked first aid kit, he did not know the protocol for treatment, and he claims no responsibility. As a result of his actions, I am dealing with the physical and mental aftermath of a deep burn injury that has left me with life long scarring and discomfort. If you happen to be looking for an acupuncturist, there are plenty of five star acupuncturists in the Longmont area. I would recommend trying one of them.

Dr. Elif is a true lifetime learner. She brings a rare combination of deep knowledge, compassion, and intuition to every session. She takes time with each client, not only to provide incredible treatment but also to educate and empower you about your body and condition. Every session feels uniquely tailored, sometimes including acupuncture and cupping, sometimes gentle massage or womb work, and often thoughtful support around supplementation. Her work is both art and science, deeply grounding and restorative. Even when my Oura ring shows I've been in high stress all day, within 20 minutes of a session with Dr. Elif, I'm in full restorative mode. She's an intuitive, gifted healer who truly cares. If you're looking for acupuncture or holistic bodywork in Boulder, don't look anywhere else. Dr. Elif is the best there is.

Wow. About eight…read moremonths ago the woman that I love developed a nerve condition known as trigeminal neuralgia. TN is an incredibly debilitating disease that affects the trigeminal nerve, which comes from the brainstem and ends up covering one half of your face/eye socket/cheek. It's often called the "Suicide Disease" as the pain from it will drop you to the floor wishing for death to mercifully take you. M was desperate for relief. She described the pain as having ice picks in her eye, both straight on and from below. She'd tried western medicine for relief and was scheduled for brain surgery to basically kill the nerve. That came with very high risks, but she was in such pain that she was willing to give it a try. On the recommendation of a friend, she decided to try Elif and her amazing talents and knowledge. Had I not witnessed this myself, I would be skeptical, but folks out there in Yelp-land, this shit is real. M is without pain now for a majority of the time, and when it is present it is tolerable. Dr. Elif treated with changes in diet, supplements, and acupuncture sessions. M's life is back and she couldn't be happier! She's back to work, life, and love! We owe Elif and her practice credit for making such a life changing impact on the both of us! She's the real deal! Thanks Elif!!! Ken Hutchison 720-425-2407
