About

"After 6 months of having a paralyzed vocal cord and not being able to speak without a microphone or breathe correctly, Ms. Hawken treated me with acupuncture for 5 sessions. After the first session, I had a partial-voice back within 5 days. Within 7 weeks I had 95% of my voice back! I do believe the acupuncture did the trick!"

"I am no longer able to take any pain medication orally, not even aspirin. Elijah has been treating me for various ailments. Due to her methods of acupuncture and manner in which she administers acupuncture, I leave her treatments feeling very relaxed, free of pain, and with a sense of well being. The bonus of this kind of treatment is that it is all drug-free."

"I had heavy periods that left me so tired every month that I felt like I spent two weeks of every four just needing to sleep. I also began experiencing panic attacks and migraine headaches. After seeing Elijah for acupuncture and herbal treatment, my periods are easy, shorter in duration and I no longer feel tired. The panic attacks are completely gone and I only have occasional, mild migraine symptoms that clear up within a few hours. Thank you!"

"I came to Elijah for allergies and headaches that were getting worse and worse. Because of the treatments and herbs Elijah gave me, I did not have to take allergy medicine for the first time in more than 20 years. My headaches went away. In addition, I experienced several other unexpected benefits, such as less stress and more restful sleep. I highly recommend Chinese medicine and Elijah Hawken."

"In May of 2005 my lower back suddenly began hurting. The pain was so bad that I even thought it could be a kidney infection. After a few days I finally got in to see my doctor who confirmed it wasn’t a kidney infection and prescribed some muscle relaxants. The muscle relaxants did absolutely nothing. Next, I took up the services of an osteopath. He prescribed muscle relaxants along with anti-inflammatory pills and a pain killer. The prescriptions cut down on the pain, but I was not only incapacitated but I didn’t really feel that the meds were helping to “cure” the problem… they were just masking the symptoms. There had to be another way. That’s when I learned that Elijah Hawken was practicing acupuncture. I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a skeptic. But after I made a fool of myself while speaking at a Sales Meeting in front of over 100 people because I was on hydrocodone and muscle relaxants and could not remember what I was talking about, I decided it was time to change treatments.

I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I soon discovered it’s not all about sticking needles into someone. Elijah spent a great amount of time asking me questions and getting to know me and my issues. The needle part was like something I’d never experienced before. I could feel it working because with each needle I felt these intense sensations that I had never felt before. Elijah first focused on my back issues. After every treatment, the pain lessened. After the fourth treatment, I felt like I was back to normal. Then Elijah started focusing on other areas that she regularly heard me complain about. For a few years, I had been having stomach issues in which my tummy would bloat out and be in so much pain that I wouldn’t want to leave my house. Through listening to my complaints and asking the right questions, Elijah suggested that I could be lactose intolerant.

Impossible, I thought! I drink 2 lattes a day! She asked me to experiment by cutting out all dairy products. And wouldn’t you know it… the pain and bloating went away. What I really appreciated the most was that Elijah really knew how to listen and methodically took notes during my sessions so she could track down where and when I was having problems. Then she could form her own hypothesis as to what was going on with my body… and she was right on! She also knew what actions to take to get to the bottom of the problem rather than just mask the symptoms like many doctors do by prescribing drugs which often have side-effects and do not get down to the root of the problem. I would highly recommend acupuncture for anyone who, like me, has not been able to cure their issues with traditional Western medicine. Thanks, Elijah!!!"
