“Erika is extremely patient, creative, and knowledgeable in Chinese medicine. I came to her with some complicated eye and skin allergy issues. With her work, both issues are now more manageable and under control. Before, I had exhausted all paths currently offered in Western medicine…I wanted to find a sustainable solution that did not include regular use of steroids or antibiotics. Erika helped me achieve this by using both acupuncture and herbs.

Erika is a very talented, passionate acupuncturist who helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Going through infertility treatment is both physically and emotionally taxing. Erika helped me feel more comfortable and connected to my body. She is not only skilled in technique but is able to connect on an emotional level to bring her patients healing.

Where do I even begin to describe the absolute joy of having Erika as my acupuncturist? I met her years ago as someone who had never given eastern medicine a second thought…Erika completely transformed every assumption I ever had about acupuncture, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Erika is not only deeply knowledgeable but attentive and intuitive…She listens, not just to your symptoms, but to you as a whole person. What sets her apart is her beautiful understanding that the body is one interconnected system. She helps you heal from the inside out, treating the full picture of who you are and how you feel.
