I got to see Phyllis yesterday for some back pain and tightness I have! The treatment was extremely relieving. I actually fell asleep pretty deeply during the treatment and am enjoying a pain free day today! I also slept really well last night! I would highly recommend PK Acupuncture to anyone thinking of seeking Acupuncture for their health and wellness!

Phyllis is great. I have been to lots of acupuncturists. I lived in Taiwan for a while and generally like to measure the quality of my acupuncturist by the length of his wispy white beard and the crispiness of his attitude. Somehow, with neither beard nor bad attitude, Phyllis still manages to get my Qi moving and to heal my blockages. I have lots of lower back pain, neck pain, and digestive issues that Phyllis is great at helping me work through. I highly recommend her needle work!

Debbie and Phyllis are the only people I would recommend to go see in Austin. I just moved from Austin to Dallas, and when people ask me who to go see, it’s an automatic PK Acupuncture. These sisters come from a long line of acupuncturists, and are both getting their OMDs, which means they’ll be Oriental Medicine Doctors. Can’t get any better than that!

Debbie is a truly gifted healer. With an eager and patient ear, she seeks to really connect with you and to fully understand the scope of your entire state of being before treating any specific ailments. It is apparent that she is highly knowledgable, and offers wise and helpful advice so as to assist you attaining the goal of an overall and balanced wellness in your life practice.
Also, she has a very delicate technique with her needles, and you barely feel a thing as she mindfully talks you through each step of the treatment!
If I could give her six stars I would give her 10!

Oh Debbie!!! Everyone must go see her! After long debating whether to get another massage to try to release this terrible tension in my right should and neck, I decided to look on Unilocal for a highly rated acupuncturist. The saying «when it rains, it pours» is couldn’t be more true for me over the past couple of weeks and Debbie was my ray of sunshine! I LOVED her cupping technique and the placement of her needles were perfect. I left buzzing and feeling so relaxed. I did not want to get up from the table! I will definitely be seeing Debbie as often as I possibly can. Thank you so so so much.

Debbie from PK Acupuncture made my introduction to acupuncture a breeze and welcoming. She is very sweet and knowledgeable person. I was interested in getting acupuncture because of a knee injury from basketball. And after about 7ish treatments, my knee, which responded well to the treatment, felt a lot better. At that point, my knee had more range of movement, less swelling, and better capabilities to withstand my body weight. Up until my first treatment, my knee, injured in a basketball game, was not healing properly for over 4 months with no sign of recovery. And I really didn’t like the prospect of getting surgery, so I decided to check out acupuncture. And I’m very glad I did.

I was recently treated by PK Acupuncture’s new addition, Phyllis’ sister Debbie. Debbie is so great. She immediately makes you feel comfortable as she is easy to talk to and really caring in her approach to Acupuncture. Debbie is full of knowledge and was able to answer my questions thoroughly and in a way that helped me get a good grasp on the principles of Chinese Medicine. I am seeing her for some pain relief following a car accident I was in and she not only helped with the pain, but she also gave me some valuable knowledge on other parts of my body system that might be affected and how to treat them with diet and herbs. Once again PK acupuncture rocks my vote for 5 stars! If you are considering trying Acupuncture, don’t hesitate to call and make an appointment!

I love going to see Phyllis at PK wellness! Her confidence allows me to relax, and I always leave my sessions feeling like I got exactly what I needed. I would and do recommend Phyllis to my family and friends.

Narrated by Jaqen H’ghar:
A woman has acne flare-​ups on a monthly basis that can sometimes last all month depending on stress levels. She tries All The Facial Cleanser Aisle but the acne persists. Diet, exercise and medication have not changed out of healthy balance. A woman has honor. What can be done?
There is another way. A woman is invited to the facial rejuvenation of Lady Phyllis. Phyllis welcomes a woman into her clinic of restoration, and smartly asks her to share her medical history and any areas of dishonor. Phyllis reads a woman’s face and shares the truth of it with her. Phyllis then uses jade and essential oil to move blood flow to the face, and begins placing varying sizes of acupuncture needles to various places of dishonor on a woman’s face. There is a small fraction of a moment of pinching sensation, that immediately dissipates as a tingling sensation radiates in a corresponding area of a woman’s body. Then, the best part. Phyllis sets the mood with a pleasing melody, and allows the needles to release pressure from one point on a woman’s face, as the rest of the body is allowed to benefit from the rejuvenation and relaxation. A woman is allowed to nap if she pleases. Phyllis returns to remove the needles with kind words, and parts with a woman as old friends.
The morning after her facial rejuvenation session, a woman notices her acne appears smaller. It is retreating. The tide has turned. A woman’s honor is restored!

PK Acupuncture is great! I have been going for a few months for weight loss and more recently allergies. With more regular sessions I know the weight will start to come off and for my most recent allergy session– I CAN BREATHE! I highly recommend PK.

One of my favorite pastimes is figuring out how to injure new and exciting things. I kick things too hard. A toe needs realigning. Most recently, I fell off a bicycle and hyper-​extended my arm at the elbow. Soon after these solo physical adventures of the soreness variety, I reach out to PK for a little fix-​me-​up. Everyone should.
PK is super knowledgeable about the ins and outs of needles — they’re tiny little things that make their way into the very heart of whatever’s ailing you. Actually I’m not totally sure what it is they do, but I feel a buzz in what I think are my nerves as the expertly-​positioned pins help get my body to a healing place. Things start looking up after the first session, and within about 3 sessions my issues are all but gone. I’m never left feeling like the point of the sessions is to get more sessions out of me = bonus.
This is probably the prettiest acupuncture place I’ve ever been to: the colors are soothing, there’s relaxing music, and there’s always a bowl of these amazing ginger chews to get you through the post-​acupuncture sleepies.
Don’t be unadventurous! Sprain or pull a muscle or two then head to PK. She’s just as adventurous as you — she even practiced some cupping on me once. Whatever it takes to see your crazy and raise you a few healing chips.

If your looking for a more effective and holistic way to address your stress, back problems, chronic pain, or general well being, give Phyllis and Acupuncture a try! My father is an Acupuncturist so I grew up very familiar with this practice, but when I moved from NY to Austin it was hard for me to find someone I liked. I started seeing Phyllis in March 2014 and I have been seeing her regularly ever since! She is great! For those unfamiliar with Acupuncture or looking to try it for the first time, Phyllis is awesome. Like any good practitioner she is a great listener and will talk with you at the beginning of each session to see how she can tailor your treatment to be most helpful and effective. My sessions have included cupping, guasa, and needles and have been tremendously helpful in relieving tension/​stress/​stiffness held in my upper back and neck. The relaxation during my treatments, and the «on top of the world» feeling afterwards is like nothing else! Highly recommend :)

I have been seeing Phyllis at PK Wellness for about 6 months now and have nothing but good things to say. I really appreciate that Phyllis takes the time to ask me each session how I’m feeling and where my body needs work. She listens carefully to what I say, asks questions and tailors each session to match how I’m feeling that day rather than just going through a routine. I have scoliosis and have been experiencing lower back pain recently and have been amazed how much acupuncture has been helping. I’ve found that each time I leave PK Wellness I feel like I’ve just had an amazing massage– I never realized that acupuncture could do that for me! I find each session incredibly relaxing; I can’t help but fall asleep on the table during my sessions.
In summary, if you’re considering trying acupuncture for the first time or have had it done before and are just looking for a new acupuncturist, I would highly recommend Phyllis. She’s fantastic!

I first came to PK Acupuncture over 2 years ago to help me with pain in my neck and back from a car accident. It was not the first time I had looked to acupuncture for pain relief, but it was the first time I had found effective work without it being a painful process. Dr. Kung inserts her healing needles without pain. She knows all the points that promote healing and keep me moving my head so that I can drive and tie my shoes without thinking about those car accidents any more.
It is not her work on my spinal issues that prompted this overdue review. I have been suffering with phlegm in my lungs and a hacking cough for the last two weeks. My friend mentioned that I should seek acupuncture for my respiratory health. It had not occurred to me because I associate needles with pain relief and hadn’t considered it for other healing needs. So, even though I had had success with the pain, I skeptically booked an appointment willing to try anything to finally start feeling better.
My appointment was yesterday. She treated my respiratory problem and went above and beyond by administering some cupping and qua aha on my neck and shoulders even though my appointment was not for that ailment. She knows how much I love her pain relief work and she didn’t mind killing two birds with one visit. After she was done she made me a hot cup of tea and gave me some helpful advice on how to continue my healing at home.
She asked me if I felt any better, and I told her I felt no different. I drove home and continued to feel about the same until I went to bed. Then, in the middle of the night, I began to sweat. When I woke up, I knew instantly that I had improved. My lungs felt clearer than they had in weeks. I am amazed and surprised at how this treatment ignited healing in my body. My only regret was not going sooner.

I’ve been using acupuncture for a little over ten years to help bring my body back into balance when things are «off.» During the pre-​Christmas chilly weather I went to Phyllis for the first time for a short series of treatments to ease an old shoulder injury. Her bedside manner is professional and warm, she’s quick to make you feel at ease and explain the process whether it’s your first acupuncture treatment or your hundredth. You’d think I’d be used to needles by now but I’m still not a fan! I appreciated that she used her tiniest ones on me and checked in with me a few times to make sure I was comfortable. The gua sha and cupping were great — really brought in some needed circulation!
PK Acupuncture is located in a vintage house-​turned-​office space with tons of charm from the old wood floors to the great front windows looking out on 5th. It was easy to relax in the treatment rooms and just let the world fade out for a bit. I’ll definitely be back when I need another tune-​up!

Phyllis is amazing! I went to her as a very reluctant acupuncture patient. Actually, just the word acupuncture made me feel a bit faint, but I needed help with chronic pain and I was desperate.
Phyllis made me comfortable and totally at ease. She is very, very knowledgable about the body. I trust her insight and she is very honest about what she can and cannot accomplish. She has helped me tremendously and I so look forward to my time with her. She is caring and kind, in addition to being the BEST!!!

I went twice to visit PK Acupuncture. The first time I had a Groupon and the second time I paid full price.
I didn’t really feel like the first visit did much good, but it was my first visit to an acupuncturist so I didn’t really know what to expect. She did «cupping» in addition to the needle treatment. I was black and blue several days from the suction cups on my skin. It was… interesting.
My main complaint has been with her follow up. I’ve made no less than 10 requests for a receipt to file with my insurance company and have not received it. I’ve called, left messages, texted, sent email via the website and have gotten no response. Who runs a business this way? In the mean time, my entire healthcare savings account is locked due to missing paperwork from PK. Unfortunately dealing with the practice has caused me more of a headache than any pain relief I ever received. So, my advice is avoid PK Wellness until the back office systems are fixed.

I cheated on my acupuncturist with Phyllis because I was in dire need of a session and my regular acupuncturist is out of town. I’ve been going to acupuncture weekly for the past year, so I consider myself somewhat of an expert, and Phyllis definitely knew what she was doing.
She immediately alleviated the pain I had. I was shocked when I woke up the next day perfectly fine! Thank you!

Went in for 1st acupuncture treatment ever and I’m going back very soon. I have chronic migraines and some other pain as well and when I left PK yesterday I felt better physically and mentally! I did not have to take any migraine medication at all yesterday and so far so good today. I very much appreciated that Phyllis spent quite bit of time with me prior to treatment going over my medical history and she explained how the acupuncture works before beginning. The atmosphere is very soothing and the music was perfect. I have already recommended PK to a few friends.
Thanks Phyllis!
