About

"Elijah’s acupuncture treatments have helped me tremendously in varied areas. From sugar addiction, PMS and cramps, to back and neck pain that I’ve had for ten years, I highly recommend her for a nagging pain or overall well-being. She is very helpful and exceptionally knowledgeable."

"When I first started getting acupuncture, I had chronic back pain, tightness in my neck and shoulders so badly that sometimes I could not even turn my head. Also I had such bad menstrual cycles that there would be a few days each month that I could not even get out bed. I had had these problems for several years, and I had tried several different methods of treatment, which either did not work at all or only masked my symptoms and gave me short periods of relief. I received acupuncture treatments regularly over a period of several months – after each session I felt much better, and finally my aches, pains and hormonal problems went away completely. Now I actually wake up in the morning feeling great. Acupuncture has also successfully treated me for bladder infections and the common cold. I am a firm believer in the art of acupuncture, and in Elijah’s ability to practice acupuncture."

"I would recommend (and have recommended) Elijah to anyone and everyone. I trust her completely and have found her methods to be quite effective. She’s honest + direct, makes me feel comfortable (rare in any type of doctor/patient setting for me) and has my confidence in her work."

"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!!!"
