Ioana is a phenomenal holistic healer. I was struggling with near-crippling anxiety, menstrual…read morechallenges, and some physical muscle pain from working on a computer all day. While she absolutely provided relief from my physical pain, I cannot express how much her treatments helped with my anxiety and emotional blocks. Ioana is kind, gentle, and holds safe space for whatever healing is necessary for you at that moment. I, wholeheartedly and without hesitation, recommend her to anyone who has an emotional, physical, or spiritual imbalance they want to work on. I consider myself fairly well-versed in eastern medicine as I was once a student of acupuncture and oriental medicine as well as chiropractic. I have been to multiple acupuncturists in the past but I have never experienced a practitioner as skilled as Ioana and I am so incredibly thankful I found her.

But I was still blown away by the results. My pain went away completely after the 3rd session, but that was only part of it. I felt so much energized after each treatment that I will keep coming back only for that part alone. I've also discovered her Sound Baths. I went first to one of the Group Sound Baths (they are so affordable!) and after that I booked a private session. It is an amazing experience and I will continue to treat myself from time to time with one. Ioana is very knowledgable and compassionate; she's always really patient, dedicated and so gentle, evaluating the whole situation and making one step at a time. I'm so happy to have her close!

I was skeptical of the whole oogy-boogy-ness of acupuncture before I went, but the results don't lie. My hand doesn't hurt anymore (after 6 months of trying to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment from more traditional doctors!). I would definitely go back. Good things: - the needles are the thickness of a hair, so you hardly feel them going in. - Moses uses tuning forks, which give a wonderful vibrating sensation - the incense and neck/shoulder rub felt wonderful - relaxing - pain relief that works! - covered by my health insurance (Premera)

What I love most is that this little business is run by local couple that strive to provide a more personal session of care. While I've done community acupuncture before, I much prefer one-on-one time with my acupuncturist. Moses was so friendly and explained the whole process of the treatment etc. Though I count myself a pro in getting alternative treatment it was nice to try something new in the process. Thorough, friendly, and most of all healing!

We have never had this experience before. Dr. Seki made us feel calm and relax. She made us comfortable even in this stressful situation. After our first visit and those that follow, our insomnia, fatigue, joint pain, and other physical ailments not to mention our mental and emotional health disappeared or were much more manageable. She constantly encouraged us to move forward and this mindset allowed us to feel happy and energetic. With our new outlook, we cannot say enough about Dr. Seki, and what she has done for us. We know that Dr. Seki will make a difference in your life. We encourage everyone to visit her and feel the difference. Rosa & Bob

I saw Maureen today and it was sooo relaxing. I've never had acupuncture before, but had always…read morewanted to try it. I'm a hairstylist so my back and neck take a lot of wear and tear from work, especially during these crazy holiday times. She went over everything with me before we started. We talked about my pain, stress, and not being able to fall asleep at times. She was very thorough and professional but still very nice and personable. Once we went into the room (that has a heated bed, so cozy!!!!) she effortlessly applied the needles and I laid there for about 20 mins listening to guided meditation. SERIOUSLY HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE RELAXED! I highly recommend her! Next time we might also try cupping but she didn't want to over do it my first time, which I appreciated. I had a wonderful experience!!!

She is extremely gifted as an…read moreAcupuncturist, and always gives me excellent advice about improving my diet and how to take better care of myself. I am an internationally touring musician, and my body takes a battering. I see her to receive what I call 'tune-ups', and after every treatment, I feel fantastic, whole, and restored. Through the years, she has eliminated the searing pain of sciatica, chronic neck pain (I am a saxophonist), gastrointestinal problems, has applied light electrical treatment to relieve obstinately tight shoulder muscles, and her cupping technique is perfect to pull out any residual tension in my back and shoulders. Most recently, I went in for 'Women's Toning Treatment', which included facial acupuncture. I left her studio feeling balanced, energized, and my face felt open, refreshed; I am 50 years old, and the lines I have developed had all but disappeared. I cannot recommend her more highly!

I'd come to accept that this pain was to be a part of my life and that I'd just have to miss work (and fun!) every so often due to the pain of a strained muscle that would keep me from being able to hold up my head. Friends advised acupuncture and luckily one of them recommended Lesli. From the very first visit, I knew she was something special. Not only has she helped my neck and shoulders (no more pulled muscles!), she's helped me get better sleep and have more energy, and the information she has shared with me has steadily increased my understanding of the connection between my mental, emotional, and physical worlds. Aside from her medical prowess, Lesli is one of the most genuine people I've met - what more could you ask for in a health care provider?

I recently fractured my ankle and its been six weeks and I am in the final healing stages. I signed up on their website and chose Melissa R. She was caring and really understood and listened to the problems I was having with my body. She noticed how swollen my ankle still was and decided to focus primarily on my ankle but also on weight loss, insomnia and my plantar fasciitis. Her needle placement was perfect and no pain and her methods were very gentle, even on tense areas I have ( like my palm and bottom of my feet ). It's a little intimidating being in a room with other people but I felt relaxed within 5 minutes of my treatment. All of a sudden Melissa was waking me up, and I couldn't believe that I fell asleep as that never happens! I have taken a 30ish min nap each time I have been and that is incredible that I am able to sleep in a situation like that ( for my active mind ). My ankle in 10 days has drastically reduced swelling and I am ready to hit the gym gently again as I am able to fully weight my ankle. I am sleeping better, and through the night and my food cravings are less. We are still working on my Fasciitis but it's pretty extreme and I do feel a mild difference ( which has to do with the shoes I wear, ect ) You pay based on your financial situation from $20-$40 for normal treatment, and self check out when you leave. I love that I can use my FSA card and although they don't accept insurance you can bill your insurance on your own and they will provide you a insurance receipt. I plan to continue to go one to two times a week. I feel relaxed and love the level of care i get and although my last experience was at a teaching hospital I definitely like seeing a expert and the immediate results I noticed is incredible for me. One point is they are a NO FRAGRANCE clinic. So keep in mind when making your appointment as they won't be able to treat you if you emit a fragrance. Even laundry softener can emit strong fragrances in a clinic like that so plan ahead as that is their policy to protect their patients sensitivities.
