Lovely location, nice people and great classes…read more Although in the heart of Essex, finding parking in downtown was no problem at all. (Might be interesting to revisit the parking in summer to see if it's as easy) Essex Wellness Center has an office location on Main Street and a separate workout facility. A standard gym membership with 24 hour access is available for purchase as well as many different classes. I was a little hesitant about working out in Downtown Essex, as I normally feel really uptight in this town, but, This time of year is really quiet with mostly year round residents who are a little more mellow than the summer crowd. I tried a Yoga class with Belinda. It was held upstairs in a clean open room with high ceilings and interesting circular details, with full windows looking towards the water. The class was so relaxing that I didn't feel my body stressing at all. She had some great tips to help with my balance and posture. In fact I didn't think I had gotten much of a workout, until I got home and climbed my stairs. All my muscles were happily "worked." It really was masterful to feel so relaxed that I didn't even realize how much my body was working. My one complaint is I wish she did some corrections, rather than work on her own mat. Afterwards was an optional mediation class. This is open to the public at no charge, and is an amazing way for people to experience the Wellness Center. I'm looking forward to trying them again in the daytime so I can see the ocean while working out.

My primary practice is in Japanese Meridian Therapy, where the focus is on treating deep constitutional imbalances to make the body whole. By doing so, many symptoms can be resolved by simply balancing a client's energy. I specialize in the treatment of sports injuries, migraines, digestive, respiratory, neurological, and emotional disorders. Acupuncture can be a great support for those undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I treat fertility issues and other problems associated with pregnancy. I also specialize in pediatric techniques (which do not involve insertion of needles) to treat things such colic, behavior issues, and illnesses that can present long-term challenges, such as mononucleosis. Among some rather unique modalities I employ are Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture and auricular therapy, most notably, Battlefield Acupuncture. The entire body can be treated via these modalities. If you'd like more information regarding whether acupuncture can successfully treat a particular illness or condition, please give me a call; chances are, it most likely will!

Dr Li is by far the best Chinese acupuncturist I have gone to. He basis his practice out of true…read moreTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and because of him, my symptoms have improved greatly. Dr Li deeply believes in the health of his patience and takes time to ensure they get the best care possible (one is never rushed out of the office or pushed aside). What I love most is that he practices cupping/scrapping, Chi energy work, and acupuncture needles. He diagnoses via tongue and pulse and during some visits he uses one technique or combines a few (I will add that you can truly feel his work both energy-wise and needle-wise). He decides what is necessary on the way your body shows symptoms and what it is that you explain are your symptoms. Things he has treated me for: headaches, bowels, sugar addiction along with a slight alcohol addiction, infertility, common colds, tale bone pain, and lower back pain due to kidneys along with liver stagnation. Dr Li goes above and beyond and helps your body recover from years of abuse both mentally and physically. On a personal note, I am a 37-year-old woman (vegan - macrobiotics) within the high school special education field. My journey is to always find peace within my spirit and body and Dr. Li has helped make that happen. I also drive 2 hours to see him because I believe in his work that much.

I have been treated for PTSD, Smoking and Alcohol Addictions, Back Pain, Neuropathy and overall wellness. The tiny needles don't hurt, instead they open up the blockages in the body that have stopped the flow of healthy energy to the areas that need help . Over 20 years ago, while being treated for low back pain, I asked for help with my smoking addiction ( 2 packs a day, more on the weekends). It was July 13, 2000 after one session I left Sensei LoPriore's practice feeling no desire for a cigarette. I threw away the pack I had, and have never smoked again! I am 4 years sober now because of Sensei's abilities with Acupuncture, Meditation and Mindfulness. My drinking nearly took my life and my marriage. Again in one session I completely lost my desire for a drink, and have not had a drink since that day!! He has truly saved my life. I attend Acupuncture sessions at least twice a month. Sensei LoPriore is the only acupuncturist I will go to, and you should too! Ackley H.

I come at her with every single question from a bunch of videos & news articles I read, and just genuine curiosity and she is able to answer them all with the knowledge she has from both her medical and natural experience. She is also very kind and open to answering any question, no matter how silly, and responds quickly to my messages through her online portal as well. Through working with her the past year, I was able to get off medication and live life through food medicine. Although we still have tons of work ahead of us, I am happy with the amount of progress we've done so far and can see us moving in the right direction as far as my health goes.
