Mental & EMotional Well-Being
LOW ENERGY
“Before starting treatment at Essential Acupuncture I was prone to experience heightened levels of stress in tiny panic moments during the day, sometimes with no cause. I was also nearly always dead beat tired around 6 PM every day and especially exhausted near my menstruations.
After my first appointment I didn’t even care if it was going to help because the session was like a deep meditation and I was already looking forward to my next appointment. The improvement in my level of energy was the first I noticed and then with the help of the herbs my panic moments are nearly eradicated. I thoroughly enjoy the treatments and plan to come regularly.”

DEPRESSION & ANXIETY
"As a healthcare professional I was curious how acupuncture treatment could work for me.
I had been experiencing extreme muscle tightness in my neck and shoulders, jaw pain, and an overall feeling of anxiety and nervousness. It wasn’t the same me I had known before I had fallen into a cycle of depression/anxiousness.
I was taking medication but could not seem to relieve the physical symptoms I was having.
I came across an article on Acupuncture and was naturally interested to try it, hoping it would help bring me back to a place of health and happiness.
Over 6 months of treatment I can tell you with total confidence that Dr. Kim’s knowledge and skill helped give me my body back!
The acupuncture was effective and incredible in helping me address the muscle and nerve sensitivity I had developed.
I am so grateful to have come upon this treatment, and would recommend it for anyone dealing with lingering issues that could be addressed by acupuncture. I looked forward to every appointment as I knew I was getting better and better!"

I usually don’t write reviews on my experiences, but this definitely deserved one. I’ve been taking anti depressants and anti anxiety meds for a few years now. Acupuncture has changed my life, really. I feel like I’ve finally found something that works for my mental health, I feel happy! I’ve been lacking that for a while. It’s painless and puts me in a relaxing state I can’t get from anything else. I feel at peace. I am truly thankful for finding Dr. Kim, he is a great listener and very thoughtful. I will continue to come back to essential acupuncture even after I leave for college. I didn’t know acupuncture could help with depression and anxiety like this, I feel like I got my life back. I recommend this to anyone and everyone. Thank you, really.

"I started acupuncture treatment after my sister and mother had great success. I was hoping it would another way to treat my anxiety and depression. For more than eight years I’ve taken anti-anxiety and depression medication to treat my symptoms. While they helped my symptoms they also had a lot of side effects.
My first acupuncture appointment left me extremely relaxed and calm. Even with my medications this was a rare feeling. I was excited for the next one. Over the past month I’ve decreased my medication by 75% and am feeling 90% better. I have a lot more energy, I feel more motivated, I feel more excited, I feel happier. The Essential Acupuncture team told me that I’ve had really great results. I think so too!
The Essential Acupuncture team has also helped me with other aches and pains; anything from sore and tight muscle to a stomach bug. Throughout my treatments he has been incredibly informative about the theories behind acupuncture and oriental medicine. I’ve learned a new way of thinking about my body and mind, and how to keep them happy, healthy and well balanced.
I would recommend acupuncture for anyone. Unlike modern medicine, acupuncture and oriental medicine treat the body as a whole, not just its symptoms. Not only am I much calmer, much happier and far more relaxed, I also have more energy and overall health after one month of acupuncture treatment. These are results that never happened over eight year of medications."
