Emily is very knowledgeable, very thorough in her practice and the results I got speak for themselves - my shoulder issues are almost fully gone and I was able to resume my daily life pain free. I will return to see her as part of my complete health regimen.

I came to Emily for help with TMJ and jaw tension that had been bothering me on and off for years. I was especially impressed when I ran into her outside of the clinic and she kindly asked about how I was feeling. Emily is very caring. She is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients. Highly recommend.

Emily's acupuncture treatments were incredibly effective in eliminating ongoing headaches and migraines I was having for months after a concussion. I noticed marked improvement after one session, including increased energy which I was not expecting, and after three or four sessions my headaches were completely eliminated. She was also able to help me with knee pain in one session. Acupuncture with Emily will continue to be part of my approach to wellness going forward.

I don't know how it works, but Emily's technique really does. I went to her for a few issues that have been bothering me for months including Achilles heel pain so that walking was difficult. She put acupuncture needles in my arm and it cured my Achilles heel! I'd been to see a few other acupuncturists who put needles in my foot and ankle area (certainly not in my arm) and it didn't do anything. I had haemorrhoids and she put needles around my mouth for those and after two treatments my discomfort was gone. I think you have to try it to believe it!

Emily is an incredible acupuncturist and also offers fantastic Tsui-Na massages and cupping. Highly recommend, and the added bonus are her two adorable dogs who are never far away.

Emily is so sweet and she really gives of her time. When you have an apt with her you never feel rushed. The cute dogs are an added bonus! I would recommend her ☺️ she is really good with facial acupuncture points as well!

Emily has been my acupuncturist for the past year and the only thing I can say is that she is amazing. Emily makes you feel relax, during the whole process. Emily has basically reset my whole nervous system There were times this summer the pain I had in my left foot and side was unbearable, and no one was able to help. In two sessions the pain was good and has not returned. Thanks to you, Jenny and Ollie.

When I came to Emily, I was in a lot of pain from spinal stenosis. Week by week, her acupuncture treatments took the pain down by degrees, enabling me to enjoy life each time a little more during the months I was waiting for surgery. Emily is a well-trained and experienced professional who listens to you and fine-tunes each treatment to your needs. She is extremely knowledgeable in Chinese acupuncture and while the needles did hurt (as needles do), the relief they brought always surpassed the temporary discomfort. Thank you so much Emily, and please receive my most heartfelt recommendation!

I'd never had acupuncture before seeing Emily for lower back pain, sciatic pain and chronic insomnia. We're three sessions in and I can feel a difference already. As of the second session the pain started fading for long periods, and I could sit up in bed instead of rolling over to get out. Even when the pain resumes, I don't experience it the same way. Even though I've also lost quite a bit of weight and practice Pilates, I don't think I'd have achieved the same progress without Emily. She is a kind, thoughtful, caring healer and I thoroughly recommend her.

Emily worked wonders for me. I had had lower back pain for many years (15+). Surgery (2008) helped but did not cure the problem. After 5 months of treatment I was pain free (initially 2x/week to biweekly & finally monthly) and the numbness down my leg and into my foot had virtually disappeared. Over the last 2 years, i have reinjured myself by lifting heavier objects and returned 2 twice more for treatment. Each subsequent treatment period was shorter. Without pain, I have been more active and able to rebuild lost muscle. I am thankful for Emily daily! She has helped me to a better life. Pain free! I highly recommend Emily as an acupuncturist. She also does cupping and offered that to me after a session. Emily inadvertently cured a shoulder problem that i had had for decades. I never mentioned it to her! Don't wait! Book your appointment now!
