Life In Balance Community Acupuncture

Acupuncture really works and I maintain a weekly schedule to help with my migraines and sinuses but I would not be able to afford this care I need without community facilities. So I was glad to find Life in Balance when I moved here this year. Erika is truly warm, friendly, knowledgeable and talented. Her shop is comfortable, professional and calming. I will be seeing her for a long time.

Erika is a fantastic acupuncturist. She is a professional at needle placement and it is painless! Her new studio is comfortable, quiet, clean and very relaxing. I highly recommend her services, she knows what she’s doing.

Erika is a skillful, knowledgeable and truly caring Acupuncturist and Herbalist. If you are interested in non-​Western medical help to address your health concerns in a holistic way, but want to skip over the New Age-​y, whoo whoo crap, then you owe it to yourself to make an appointment with Erika.
I entrusted Erika to help me as I struggled with fertility issues, and was ultimately able to conceive a very healthy and happy baby! Along the way, Erika impressed me with her ability to knock out respiratory illnesses as they cropped up, give me more energy when I needed it, and even see me through a couple post-​partum concerns.
Do recognize that consulting an Acupuncturist is like embarking on a journey. It’s unlikely that you will get to where you want to be immediately. But with Erika as your guide, you’ve greatly increased your chances of ultimately arriving at your destination.

Erika is an exceptional health professional. Her easy-​going but thorough manner will help anyone who is anxious feel comfortable in trying acupuncture. She does a wonderful job explaining the process and taking some of the mystery out of the practice (although, let’s admit that the mystery is part of the fun). In only a few visits, Erika has helped me resolve some significant back pain as well as strengthen my overall constitution by supporting my immune system with acupuncture and dietary suggestions.
I’m happy to recommend Erika to anyone who is an acupuncture candidate. She’s talented, competent and also very warm and friendly.

Erika is a thoughtful and knowledgeable practitioner. She takes the time to know clients holistically and doesn’t take shortcuts in her evaluation and treatment. She is skilled with her needles and gets results. Erika is also a kind, personable and funny person who is a pleasure to work with.

So I have some aches and pains. Very old knee injury from my teens was what Erika treated first. It was very sore and felt like it was full of liquid and it was hard to bend. She treated it with needles and something she called guwsha. (I’m sure I have the name wrong)
My knee felt better the next day. She gave me fast relief without drugs and the side affects you would expect. Plus I didn’t have to deal with a trip to the doctor’s office and then a trip to Walgreens. And my treatment only took half an hour and I was back to my life.
I have had treatments from her for colds, upper respiratory infections, and this spring, I had a tune up to my immune system before a trip to see the Surgeon for a hernia, just to be on the safe side.
She has a great deal of expertise in Chinese Herbology. That is none drug based ways of making you well, and treating your ills using time tested natural products. Walgreens is building new store on corners lots all over the country. What kind of profit are they making on the little pills the medical industry is pushing on you? The drug industry is making a killing on our back. Stop this madness. Ask yourself a simple question. What makes more sense ?
Go see at person who is Practicing Medicine? Then take his scrip to see the jumbo Real Estate Mongol, pushing drugs?
Or go see someone with the skills gleamed from the 5000 year history of treating the whole body, and not pushing pills. That would be Traditional Chinese Medicine
If you have an old sports injury, a creaky knee, have a cold and hate drugs, this Lady with the super skilled hands can fix you up. I highly recommend her.

I have been numerous times to see Erika, for different ailments/​issues, and all I can say, is «Wow– this is amazing»! She knows what she is doing and is very professional. I have been to other acupuncturists, and she is a much better option for me; her knowledge of Herbs and Oriental Medicine is a perfect compliment to the acupuncture. She also treats the whole system, not just the problem area, as many issues are related to other areas or systems within the body.
I would refer her to a friend in a heartbeat — and have!
I am also continuing to see her for «facial rejuvenation». The results have been very impressive, and I can see a big difference. I actually get compliments all the time — «What are you doing? You look great!» This is a much safer solution than surgery, and certainly a less invasive one too. Muscles have tightened, and collagen is back doing it’s job.
My experience has been very positive. If you think you might benefit from acupuncture and/​or herbology, give her a try!

I went to Erika Ewer for acupuncture treatment about a year and a half ago, when I was having bad lower back pain and general body aches and pains. I spend a lot of time editing music and film and, like most of us, hunched in front of a computer for hours on end. This wrecked my back over time. I was apprehensive about the acupuncture because I had it done before many years ago by someone else, and though it helped, I also developed tingling in my hand that took six months to go away. I’m a guitar player, so that wasn’t cool. When I went to see Erika, to my great relief, she was extremely attentive and caring and focused. She spent considerable time getting information from me before treatment. Within 30 minutes I felt I had a trusted professional in Erika and she educated me on what was happening within my body and gave me tips to correct it. Moreover the treatment she gave me made me feel like I was ten years younger. And the visit was very affordable and well worth it. Although I see a chiropractor/​healer several times a month and feel pretty fantastic these days, I’m thrilled to learn Erika has a new space closer to my neighborhood. You can never have too many healthy, holistic minded people in your life. If you’re thinking about holistic alternatives to what ails and aches you, go see this woman. You’ll wonder why you waited this long.

Erika is an extremely knowledgeable and patient acupuncturist and herbal practitioner that now has her own space to practice in. She is especially gentle when it comes to acupuncture so if you’ve ever wanted to try it but never did, she can make it inviting and less intimidating. You will learn many things about your body and Erika will take the time to explain things to you so that by the time you leave, you’ll feel much better!
