Rivers of Wellness Acupuncture: Five Element Acupuncture

Ann combines skill, training, and a very caring attitude. I have worked with several acupuncturists over the years, without lasting results. Since starting with Ann several months ago I have experienced positive results including better overall well-being and improvement of a variety of other symptoms. For me, Ann, and the 5 element style (which is the much older, traditional approach) have been very helpful. Highly recommend.

I started seeing Ann at the clinic due to a chronic lower back and sciatic nerve pain. After several weeks of seeing Ann, the pain from these conditions have vastly improved. I no longer notice my having sciatic pain. Ann has also treated and provided relief from an occasionally reoccurring neck & arm pain caused by a neck stenosis condition. My day to day quality of life and ability to lead a physically active life has been greatly aided by Ann's treatments. Also Ann doesn't hesitate to recommend non-acupuncture based treatments when she thinks they would be helpful or more appropriate. I highly recommend Ann is very good at what she does and can be trusted.

For the first time in my life I began to have panic attacks. I was looking for an alternative to medication but had never had acupuncture before. Anne was great about explaining the process and always gave me strategies and suggestions to try in addition to the treatments. I was a bit apprehensive about acupuncture but it worked! I have been panic attack free for almost a year. Anne has a quiet and caring personality and is extremely professional and dedicated to her expertise. I highly recommend her.

Before I came to see Ann at the clinic, I was struggling with low energy, indigestion and feeling anxious and down quite often. I was also struggling to cope with symptoms of endometriosis and the hormonal imbalances related to this condition. I found it was affecting my ability to cope with the non-stop nature of my work as a full-time Mom!

After 5 months of seeing Ann, I now crave my next acupuncture session, as it has helped me to feel more alive on every level. I am better able to cope with emotional ups and downs, I feel more inclined to eat well and exercise regularly, and my digestive system has calmed right down. I also had the first painless period that I have had in years!

I would highly recommend Ann because she is not only a skilled acupuncturist and moxa therapist, but she is very warm and approachable with a canny ability to make her patients feel safe and heard.

I went to Ann for acupuncture because I was feeling extremely fatigued, anxious and brain-fogged, and my medical doctor and many specialists couldn't find anything wrong. Ann helped guide me through obtaining a lyme diagnosis while expertly treating my symptoms and enabling me to function while I was unwell. Ann provided nutrition and life counselling, and enthusiastically supports me and my health and well-being. The fact that she takes insurance is a bonus.
