WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

One patient. Full Presence. Every time.

I see one person at a time — no rotating rooms, no split attention. Your first visit is 90 minutes: part conversation, part treatment. I work through the lens of Five Element Acupuncture, a style of Chinese Medicine that addresses the root patterns beneath your symptoms rather than managing them on the surface.

What drew me to this medicine — and what keeps me here — is its foundational belief that the body is innately capable of healing. My job isn't to fix you. It's to help your body find its way back.

What patients say

  • Vicki K.

    “I am so grateful for all the guidance and healing Emily provided, and most of all for bringing me back to feeling like myself again — a new, more focused and relaxed me.”

  • Lauren N.

    “Emily is by far the most caring, nurturing and intuitive. You step into a room with her and feel like you're being truly seen, heard and hugged."

  • Emily S.

    “There was something so grounding about receiving care from someone who deeply understood what I was going through, not just clinically but personally. Emily's warmth made every session feel like more than just treatment, it felt like genuine care from someone who saw me as a whole person.

    As a fellow perinatal provider, I don't say this lightly: Emily is the kind of practitioner I'd trust with my own family, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for acupuncture support during pregnancy and beyond!”

  • Rebecca K.

    “She’s helped me navigate anxiety, perimenopause shifts, insomnia, and immune support. As a mom herself, she understands how stress, hormones, and sleep disruption actually show up in real life, not just in theory. If you’re looking for acupuncture that feels personal, responsive, and energetically dialed in, I can’t recommend her enough.”

  • Christian P.

    “She will sit in anything with you. She evokes an ease and comfort in the treatment room while paying close attention to detail that simply is not offered by most practitioners.”

  • Elizabeth S.

    “Emily paid me a house visit when I was just three months postpartum, and the level of care and attentiveness she gave me was unparalleled. It was such a restorative experience — exactly what my body needed at that stage of recovery. I'm so grateful I found her.”

  • Kathryn K.

    “What a gift to find such a caring, genuine, intelligent, and intuitive practitioner who provides unconditional support for me and my family members”

  • Nicole R.

    “Emily’s presence is warm and grounded. She immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. I appreciated the curiosity, time and attention she gave during the intake process, which felt more like a friendly conversation than a clinical question and answer session. I felt deeply cared for in the session itself and afterwards. Emily followed up, offering additional insight and recommendations with genuine kindness. She also gave me a great referral to a complimentary practitioner, which I really appreciated—that her vision of my wellbeing included what she could offer and beyond.”

  • Will F.

    “Her ability to listen to me, ask heartfelt questions, and exemplify her healing mastery offered me a safe space to navigate the challenges in my life at that time.”
