Acupuncture In Nature

Maureen is fantastic and knows her stuff. She not only helps to heal you with acupuncture, she takes on a holistic healing approach that is exciting! She makes you want to come back because of her expertise and kindness. Her office was also very comfortable for relaxation, it looks like a spa in her rooms. Will be returning to see her for future visits.

Maureen is a very caring and skilled practitioner. She has helped alleviate my lower back pain and the arthritis in my toes.

Maureen has helped me sooo much in the few months I’ve worked with her, & I could not be more grateful that I found her! She closely monitors my progress and tailors her treatments to what has been going on with me that week or even that day, which really helps in my healing journey. I have all sorts of stuff going on and there seems to be an acupuncture point for everything! It really works for me. She is so timely, which I appreciate, and responsive to emails. Furthermore, she has sent me some very helpful resources by email in her off-​time that were terrific! The fact that she accepts insurance makes it all possible too! Thank you Maureen!!!

I started seeing Maureen a few months ago and I got my husband to go for his back and shoulder as he recently had rotator cuff surgery. His recovery was complicated with his lower back pain as well. He had never gone to an acupuncturist before and he was sold after the first visit. For myself, I have just been diagnosed with neck issues and degenerative disc disease. Maureen, more than other acupuncturists I have been to, not only addresses the immediate issue of the localized pain but takes a wholistic approach to her clients and strives to address all contributing factors. She is also very compassionate and caring and takes time for her Clients. I highly recommend Acupuncture in Nature to anyone!

«I was a patient of Maureen’s for over a year and had amazing results! I first saw Maureen (and tried acupuncture) as a last resort to cope with much of the pain I was experiencing from a previous car accident. When I came to Maureen, I was taking so much pain medication that I burned an ulcer in my stomach. Even with that amount of pain medication, I was not able to find relief and remained in constant pain. I have a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition and still wasn’t sold on the „Acupuncture/​Eastern Medication“ form of treatment. Knowing I needed to try something different to cope with the pain, I decided to give acupuncture a try. I got very frustrated after calling several acupuncturists and not understanding a word they said. Once I finally got in touch with Maureen, she clearly and knowledgeably explained her course of treatment, proactively called my insurance to check coverage, and immediately scheduled an appointment. I was amazed at her level of service and attention to detail. Our initial visit lasted several hours as she took a thorough physical, medical and dietary intake. Then she worked on several different points and provided great education regarding her methodology for choosing that specific course of treatment. Maureen helped me come up with a treatment plan. After addressing my pain, which amazingly subsided after each session… I was able to come off my medication completely with the help of regular Chinese herbs prescribed by Maureen! Maureen helped me get my life back. I was free from the copious amounts of prescription medication I was taking. If you have any doubt about trying acupuncture and/​or Chinese herbal medicine, I guarantee you have nothing to loose and only an enhanced quality of life to gain. There is no greater person to start this journey with than Maureen! She is a miracle worker.»

Maureen’s accupuncture treatments have helped me immensely to manage chronic pain when nothing else was helping. Maureen is always caring, communicative and meticulous about her treatments. She asks me a lot of questions and monitors my progress closely. She responds promptly to emails and texts and is on-​time with all appointments. Maureen is passionate about what she does She is encouraging, positive and pro-​active AND she accepts my insurance — a huge plus!

As a 60 year male suffering from chronic back pain, sciatic pain and facing a hip replacement in the very near future, I’ve explored every option to relieve the pain that I experience each and every day. I recently discovered Acupuncture In Nature and have been receiving treatment twice a week from Maureen Hartker, a licensed Acupuncturist. Maureen is the most caring and compassionate person that I’ve met in my quest of many years for pain relief. It’s been a very positive experience. Each session is very relaxing and Maureen questions me regarding my level of pain at the beginning and end of each treatment. I highly recommend Maureen Hartker at Acupuncture In Nature as an Acupuncturist in Orange County.
