“It’s the first time I’ve explored my mental health in this way and it’s been very liberating.”
Annie has helped me heal my body for many years, and now she is helping me heal my emotional traumas. The discovery work that she leads me through during our Acupuncture sessions gets to the root cause of my emotions. It’s the first time I’ve explored my mental health in this way and it’s been very liberating.
“…she's a compassionate deep listener. I always feel safe to share anything with her.”
If you've seen Annie for Five Element acupuncture, you know she's a compassionate deep listener. I always feel safe to share anything with her. She offers wise insights during our conversations and with her training, offers reflections different than just being with a friend who's a good listener. With a coaching session, I got more of Annie's depth and time and she brought in different ways of questioning & processing than she offers during acupuncture. I love the flexibility to book coaching with her either combined with acupuncture, or on its own, when I need more support to look at my circumstances in new ways or create big changes on my life.
“With Five Element, healing happens not only in mind and body but my spiritual health feels tended to as well.”
When I first started seeing Annie for acupuncture treatments about ten years ago, I was on the precipice of a major life transition and facing difficult-to-diagnose health issues. In my efforts to avoid prescription medications offered by my Primary Care Physician, and with the help of that same PCP, I found my way to Annie and my first ever acupuncture appointment. Aside from a brief time when I tried another form of acupuncture (that didn’t help me) I have been receiving Five Element Acupuncture consistently for a decade. With Five Element, healing happens not only in mind and body but my spiritual health feels tended to as well, which is very important to me. Annie is a skilled and compassionate listener and puts her whole heart into customizing each session to serve my ever-changing needs. I always look forward to my appointments with Annie because I know she will attack whatever ails me with everything she has to offer. My life is profoundly better because of Annie’s commitment in helping me find greater health.

“Annie is always a compassionate resource and advocate for my best health and best self.”
Annie’s grace, wisdom and care have been an invaluable part of my healthcare since becoming pregnant with my second child almost four years ago. Under Annie’s care I have not needed to return to the pharmaceutical remedies for depression, anxiety and ADHD that I had been taking on and off for a large part of my life and before becoming pregnant with my second child. Annie is always a compassionate resource and advocate for my best health and best self. I have sent friends and family her way, always with the same results: relief, improved health, and a felt sense of being truly seen and heard. I feel so grateful to have found her - truly a life changing experience for me, and the benefit of my family.
