Living Tree Acupuncture

Tank is a gem. I am so grateful that I found her. She is just the right acupuncturist for me. She is extremely knowledgable, an attentive and compassionate listener, genuinely caring, calm, and grounding. And effective! Since I started seeing her and taking the herbs she suggested, my body temperature has changed for the better. I used to be someone who got cold very easily and needed a room to be HOT in order to feel comfortable in my body. But, now, I feel warm most of the time. It’s amazing. Also, we’ve been working on other issues effectively, which have had a huge, more positive impact for me. I always look forward to seeing her because my whole body responds well to her treatment, and I always walk out of a session feeling immensely relaxed. I highly recommend her.

I went to see Tank at Living Tree for my tension headaches. I had been suffering with a headache that was interfering with my daily life off and on for years. I had tried ibuprofen, but it upsets my stomach. Mostly I had been trying to ignore it, but it got to the point where I knew I couldn’t ignore it.
Tank listened carefully and took a thorough history. She used her background in massage and her knowledge of acupuncture to come up with a plan for me. Not only was she able to treat the immediate headache, she gave me a few simple pointers on posture and pillow height that have proven very helpful.
5 months later I am happy to report that my headaches have not returned. I have stuck with what she told me and it has worked! It is hard to overstate the improvement in my quality of life since the headaches have been gone.
I would highly recommend Living Tree Acupuncture to anyone!

I recently had a neck injury to where I could barely turn my head, but thanks to Tank, I found some relief. I knew if I went to my regular doctor, I would probably go home with a handful of Ibuprofen and maybe some Vicodin. So I know I needed some other alternative and I wholeheartedly believe in Easter medicine.
Tank was thorough while she asked questions and assessed my condition. She was attentive and listened to my needs. The best way to approach this form of healing is to communicate your needs. When I told her I didn’t like to lay on my stomach because I had difficulty breathing that way, she was accommodating. When I told her my feet runs cold, she had a heat lamp to make sure that my exposed feet were warm. She made sure I was comfortable throughout my session. She used both acupuncture and cupping to relieve some of the tension and pain in my neck and I felt a lot better coming out of the session. I also appreciated the fact that she followed up with me after my session with a phone call the next day.
Bottom line: Her integrative approach to healing is highly recommended. I will definitely return.

I went to this place for the first time a couple months ago with very little knowledge of acupuncture. Tank took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable. You can tell she is a deeply caring individual whom genuinely wants to help her patients.
I felt great after my first session with her. Now I can’t wait to go back!

I’ve had acupuncture from a number of sources and Tank is quickly becoming one of my favorite acupuncturists and herbalists. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine and herbs is excellent. Her bedside manor is kind and attentive and her treatments are thorough. I felt so well taken care of. Her needling technique is super gentle yet quite effective. I’ve happily referred a number of my clients to her for acupuncture. I am very grateful for her skillful work.

Tank’s experience in acupuncture, massage, and other holistic methods of wellness is solid. She is compassionate, a detail oriented listener and remained aware of how I was feeling throughout the whole session. Since it was my first time getting acupuncture done, I was nervous and she eased my concerns by answering (and encouraging) my questions, a level of patience and care that is not seen everyday.
After about a week from that one session my problem went away. It’s been over two months since and it hasn’t returned. As skeptical as I was of acupuncture, I can’t ignore the results.
I highly recommend Living Tree Acupuncture, and I will definitely be back for more sessions.
Thank you Tank!

I hardly ever write reviews on Unilocal buy I must share my good experience with anyone reading this who is new to trying acupuncture. I was having problems with dizziness that my regular doctors could not help me with. I had many tests done and they all said nothing was wrong. I knew I had to try a different approach to my problem but had never had acupuncture before and was very skeptical.
Tank was very professional and thorough in our consultation. She was gentle and told me everything that she was going to do and why. It didn’t hurt.
The best news: my dizziness went away within a week of the appointment and with the use of some Chinese herbs I took for a little wile, my dizziness has not returned.
I’m now a regular client and get acupuncture even when I feel good because it always makes me feel better. Thank you, Tank! I’m grateful for your kindness, skill and care.

I’ve gone to Tank for several years, and feel better every single time, often immediately and dramatically (a surprise for me – I generally thought acupuncture was a slower and more subtle form of treatment). She’s treated me for shoulder, back and neck pain, but she always expands her treatment to take in the whole of how my body and mind are doing, including food recommendations and Chinese herbs to ease pain, improve mood and digestion, and so forth. Her cupping and needle treatments have left me walking out when I limped in, and I’ve always felt incredibly cared for under her treatment.

I’ve received care for several issues from Tank (shoulder pain, depression, digestion amongst others) and have been amazed by the insight and care that she provides. The shoulder treatment was 3 needles and provided instant and lasting relief, the treatment I received for depression was a weekly session for a few weeks and Chinese herbs to take twice a day for a week. The treatment plan for digestion included needles, advice about diet and herbs and has made a huge quality of life difference for me.
Tank has a keen ear for listening to the whole person and taking into consideration a wide variety of factors in her understanding of what your issues are and how you might be best served both by her and by changes you could make directly in your own lifestyle. She brings a wide variety of life experiences to the table with her and a deep caring nature that make sessions with her a relaxing and transformative experience.
In the interests of full disclosure, I am a bit biased about Tank as she is my wife, however, I have strived to be as objective as possible and do have a fair amount of experience with other acupuncturists to compare her skills and manner to.
