Korian Acupuncture

I had a very positive experience at Korian Acupuncture. I was excited to see what cupping was all about as I’d never had this done and was looking forward to trying something new.
I was warmly received, and there some good foundational questions asked before we begin in case I had any health concerns that we could tailor the cupping to help address. The process was clearly and enthusiastically explained to me about how the lactic acid is removed from muscles, and how the procedure may stave off illness if you’re just starting to get under the weather.
The office itself is in a nice location, was pretty easy to get to, and was helping to calm my nerves even before the procedure began.
As for the actual cupping, the table was very comfortable and the suction levels were just right, not too much pull.
After, I was provided water and a really cool mint gel ball to help bring me back to full consciousness after being relaxed during the cupping.
I left the experience feeling very chill for the rest of the day.
I would recommend cupping for a new experience, and as a more affordable alternative to a traditional massage.
The procedure took about 30 minutes, but the positive feeling was for the rest of the day.
I would recommend Korian Acupuncture for cupping, and look forward to trying acupuncture in the future!

I’m so happy that I’ve found Elanita. I’ve only had one session with her but she far exceeded my expectations with her comforting demeanor and the different modalities she offers. She’s really able to tailor the session to exactly what you need. She’s very thorough with her explanations and takes time to learn about you and your expectations for the session. I will definitely continue treatment with Elanita.

Elanita is a really wonderful acupuncturist. I’ve had a number of sessions with her, she’s really gifted. I’ve had acupuncture with several different people in the past, so I feel I can make a comparison, and Elanita’s skill is really amazing. While my challenges definitely have a physical component which I am working on, my main complaint has been my emotional/​mental state. I’ve seen her when I was at my absolute lowest and felt so much better. I’ve even felt happy in a way I didn’t know was possible, like a window was opened inside me that I didn’t know was there and a fresh beautiful breeze came in. I have been seeing her on an ongoing basis because my issues are chronic, not the kind that easily resolve in one or two sessions. It is an incredible help and support in my process to receive healing work from her, and in some acute situations, she pretty much saved me. I really like how thorough she is in checking in with me every session, we have a conversation about all my concerns in that moment. She’s easy to talk to, a very good listener and also good at asking questions to get the best diagnosis before beginning the acupuncture. She’s warm and caring, I think just talking to her is part of what helps me feel better. She specializes in Japanese acupuncture, which has a gentler needling technique. She does some gentle meridian massage, acupressure, to really pin down which points will be best for you. She will find a spot that is tender, and find where along the meridian the point is that shifts the tenderness, before she even puts the needle in, so you know she’s really gotten the right point because you can feel a difference right away. It’s really fascinating to experience subtle ways that energy is working in your body. When she puts needles in, she taps on another part of your body, which has this effect of tricking you into not really feeling the prick, so it’s really gentle, anyone who has not had acupuncture before should not be nervous, Elanita is really good. She includes wonderful aromatherapy in the session which is something no other practitioner I’ve been to has used. Sometimes the needles will be only on my front, sometimes she will take them out and have me flip over to needle my back too. She also does cupping, she’s got a lot of tools in her skill set. Overall the treatments are helping me move forward, and they just feel so uplifting. She’s an acupuncturist who really loves what they do, enjoys helping others, and also is just very smart with a lot of superb training. I feel fortunate that I connected with such a good acupuncturist.

Elanita is an amazing practitioner – calm, gentle, thorough. I’ve had a lot of acupuncture before, but I have to say this was one of the most relaxing experiences I’ve ever had. I just felt like a melted away on the table. I also love Elanita’s technique and use of essential oils. Highly recommend, especially for someone looking for a gentle, effective, holistic approach.
Can’t wait to go back soon!

Elanita is amazing. If you have never experienced Japanese acupuncture, make an appointment right now! She uses a combination of essential oils, body work like massage and gentle needling techniques to create a unique healing experience. I have used many acupuncturists in my day and I can truly say she is one of the best I have experienced.

I was blessed to have a session with Elanita today. The biggest results I noticed were stress reduction, profound relaxation, and a lessening of some chronic pain.
Elanita is very caring about her clients and super attentive — she asks the right questions, and then gets to work with a comprehensive front body and back body acupuncture treatment.
At the end, I felt very relaxed, less stressed out, and some chronic inflammation in my body was down– way down. After only one treatment– I can only imagine the improvement possible over multiple sessions! I’ve been to many acupuncturists, and this was among one of the best experiences I’ve had.
Here is a caring, warm, and attentive acupuncturist who knows her stuff– right off of Piedmont Ave!!!
