Although I do not live in the Chicago area, I always manage to have an acupuncture session with Ellie Pickering at Bodyscapes whenever I am in town. I have seen numerous acupuncturists through out the years and Ellie is by far one of the most gifted healers I have had the pleasure to experience. She is always on time for my session and her cozy office is always warm and inviting. Ellie has a way of making you feel like a long time friend. She is very knowledgeable about healing and her hands are skillful. Her needle technique is as gentle as it gets. Most important is how great I feel after treatment. She combines massage with acupuncture(sometimes cupping or moxibustion) with every treatment I have received. I always leave feeling calm and refreshed. I would definitely recommend Ellie to anyone looking for a healer who is the real deal. Thank you Ellie for all your great work!
