From the moment I stepped into her clinic, I knew I was in the right hands. My experience with Amy has been nothing short of transformative. She has an incredible ability to listen and truly understand my concerns, making me feel comfortable and cared for. Her acupuncture techniques have brought remarkable relief to my chronic neck pain, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in my overall well-being. Beyond that, she expertly recommended herbal supplements that have entirely resolved my gut issues. I feel more energetic and at ease than I have in years! Each session is tailored to my needs, and I appreciate her holistic approach to health. She genuinely invests her time and knowledge to ensure I’m on the right path to healing. I can’t recommend Amy enough if you’re seeking effective and compassionate treatment. She’s a healer in every sense of the word!

Two years ago I started seeing Amy and her team. I was in a despairing state. Despite western medication for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjogren’s Syndrome and Hashimoto’s, my hands were stiff and swollen claws for much of the day; I had intense brain fog, fatigue, and very dry skin. You can see in the photos how little I could close my fist before I began treatment, and how well I can make a fist now. How swollen my left hand was (with ring) versus how it is now (sans ring). I had built and maintained a successful cottage business making and selling handcrafted items for many years; but it was at this juncture I worried I was going to have to close my business; and was struck by the increasing difficulty of caring for my children (braiding their hair, tying their shoes…) I felt like I was losing my life. After seeing Amy and her team regularly for six weeks I had nearly normal hand size and function (they still moved a bit like granny hands, but much more like the ones you would expect from a middle aged woman.) I could sleep through the night again, and my skin, though still dry, was no longer scaly and painful. The brain fog is much less, and I feel it fade a little further as each month passes. I was able to begin working again; and most of all, I felt hope. One of the most beautiful experiences in Japanese Acupuncture is the gentle way that Amy and her team guided my body into a sense of wellness as I learn to balance my chronic conditions. She stays with me in the room during each session and is treating me not only with needles, but with moxa and other healing adjustments. My mood and body have responded in tandem, and have grown together to find health. While there have been setbacks along the way with injuries or flares; I feel safer about my future knowing I can count on Amy and Ikigai Wellness.

I was recommended by a fellow patient to see Amy for acupuncture after a car accident and post concussive disorder. In addition, I have an auto-immune condition and live a high stress life. Amy and her practice are totally magic! I've been seeing her weekly for several months now, with my pain and post concussive symptoms being managed successfully under her care. Amy takes time to thoughtfully listen and provide feedback, and tailors each session to the needs of the moment. The acupuncture has had an immediate positive impact on my health and well being, frequently feeling like I am levitating after i leave Ikigai. The environment and office is a calm, peaceful, respite. They also offer infrared sauna, massage, and hyperbaric chamber services, all of which are done in the calm and quiet environment of the space. I highly recommend Amy for acupuncture and her services - she is an excellent practitioner and has transformed my well being.
