I work near Lauren and have received services from her for about a year. Her office is clean and calm, and she is knowledgeable and gentle. We also refer our therapy clients to Lauren, which has been great for folks who are working to improve their overall wellness using different modalities.

Lauren is the kindest, gentlest, and most caring acupuncturist. I feel calmer the moment I step into her office - it’s gorgeous and her presence is grounding. She listens to all of your concerns and asks thorough questions to get a full picture. She is not only knowledgeable but passionate about the medicine and it shows in her development of a treatment tailored to you and how gently and deftly she places needles.

I’m so glad I get to see her! She’s made such a difference in my life.

If you want effective, healing acupuncture in a spa-like setting, don't hesitate to call Lauren. I'm newer to acupuncture and not a big fan of needles, but Lauren's depth of knowledge, gentle approach, and calming professionalism have made me a believer. Her genuine concern for her patients and dedication to perfecting her craft were apparent from my very first visit. Plus, she has the most beautiful and relaxing space I've experienced in any treatment office/clinic. I can't recommend her enough and have heard the same from others. Thank you, Lauren.

Lauren is by far, one of the best in her field.. She is attentive, informative, and a no nonsense kinda gal.. She goes straight to the root of the problem an attacks it..

The time and grade she has in her field shows in her Professionalism and in the plan of attack she uses to get us to where we need to be.. Just the atmosphere alone relaxing by itself..

I would most definitely recommend her to any and all who require her expertise.. From Acupuncture, Cupping, and Guasha, I've had the pleasure to experience them all with her and have left a very happy man..

Thank you for everything Doc

I started seeing Lauren in September for neck and back pain, however I believe it is her treatments that have also helped improve my insomnia, night sweats, and chronic tiredness. Within merely a few weeks of working with her, I felt renewed! Lauren has also helped me address an ankle sprain, wrist tendonitis, and pelvic pain. I have a feeling her capabilities are endless. Lauren wizzes around the treatment table with ease and grace, leaving me feeling assured and restful. I leave each session lighter and clearer. She is adroit, receptive, and fastidious in her needling. Her studio is cozy and clean. Finally, her herbal recommendations are appropriate and easy to incorporate into your personal routine. I can’t recommend her enough; go see Lauren!

Lauren is an amazing acupuncturist! I had a really stiff neck and after one treatment, I felt so much better. I also feel so relaxed and cared for after every treatment. I have also gotten facial acupuncture from her and my skin just glows afterwards! You can't go wrong choosing Lauren!
