I have been having acupuncture for many years and so I speak from experience when I say that Emily stands out the field. Her approach is very thorough and holistic. She takes the time to get to know you and answer any questions even during the treatment. It’s clear that she cares about you not only as a patient, but as a person. Her technique is gentle and accurate. She’s also a very skilled herbalist. The formulas she’s designed for me have been very effective. In addition to this, her office is beautiful and peaceful. I’m grateful to have found her.

I saw Emily when my usual acupuncturist was on vacation and she was awesome; I appreciate her willingness to be my «substitute.» It was obvious that she was invested in my healing even though I don’t see her regularly. She recommended an herbal supplement that is helping and I am comforted knowing I have her support when my usual acupuncturist is not available.

I have great respect for Emily as a healer. She has the utmost integrity, is a genuinely caring person and a practitioner who wants to understand the whole person. Her presence is calming and her manner professional and personal at the same time. I’ve been seeing Emily for about 3 years and my son and husband have also been her patients. I recommend her highly. She’s a gem!

I had the good fortune of stumbling upon Emily several years ago when I was desperate for relief from the sudden hives that broke out all over my face. My primary care physician at the time suggested that I try Benedryl and come back in two weeks. I decided to try acupuncture and it was the best thing that I could have done! Emily truly cares about the well being of her patients. She is happy to share her wealth of knowledge in TCM and healthcare so you will learn how to better care for yourself, and not rely solely on her treatments. She was able to clear up my hives along with other symptoms that she tuned into, and in a short time I was feeling better than ever! Just a few of the benefits I’ve experienced from working with Emily have been stress management, allergy relief, and cycle/mood regularity. She has also taught me how to support my immune system, so I rarely get sick now. Emily is not only the best practitioner I’ve ever experienced, she is also an amazing person!

I go to Emily for acupuncture treatment whenever I have back or neck pain. Treatment is very therapeutic and I get relief immediately after treatment. Emily is a wonderful person and excellent practitioner. She has also supported me with Chinese herbs and medicine throughout my pregnancy and post partum. She is very attentive to lab work and hormone regulation so treatment helped my body recover balance and energy after having my second child. I felt things went smoothly, such as breast feeding, night weaning, getting back to my normal weight, energy, mood, and sleep. Working with Emily was a big help to me and still is whenever I get a chance to see her.

Emily is a thorough and insightful practitioner who takes the time to get to know you and your specific concerns and temperament and prepares a specific treatment for you. She is a good listener and is deeply knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and health in general. I came to her because I had trouble staying healthy — I was constantly getting sick and having a very hard time recovering from my illnesses. I believe that her treatment has a lot to do with the much stronger immune system I enjoy today. If you’ve thought about acupuncture, but aren’t sure where to start, make an appointment with Emily!

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Emily Hooker for almost a year. In this time I have experienced MAJOR improvements in my health(for cycle regularity, back and neck pain, and emotional improvements). Through my work with Emily, I have also developed a broader understanding of my body, TCM, and how I interact with my environment. She has been an invaluable resource for effective herbal prescriptions, diet, and other lifestyle recommendations. I have been receiving acupuncture for years and feel incredibly grateful to have found Emily. The quality of her treatments are amazing and I HIGHLY recommend her!
