The Zen of Healing

If I won the lotto, the first thing I would do is invest in stocks and real estate. Second thing, hire David for life!
David is amazingly special and beyond incredible at what he does! I swear he has the magic touch for getting me out of pain every time my back flares up. (Which I’m ecstatic to say doesn’t happen nearly as often as it used to)
One can tell that he really tries to listen and understand your issues and always knows the right questions to ask so he can know exactly how/​what he needs to do to help.
Plus: who can beat massage and acupuncture in the same appointment! — I never fall asleep when I used to get either one or the other type of appointment but with him, my body just lets itself go and I almost never want to leave because my body feels so pleasantly rested, centered, and at ease after seeing him.
MUST SEE HIM!

I have been dealing with Gastroparesis (GP) and other digestive issues for years now. My doctors told me that Acupuncture has been known to help with GP, but I was reluctant after a previous experience with a different acupuncturist didn’t go so well. I decided to give it a second shot anyways, this time with David as my practitioner. I am thrilled with the results I have seen with him so far, and it has only been about 2 months since I started! As a person who suffers from chronic nausea — I always get my appetite back after a session with him. He is a master of his craft and knows how to truly help his clients. Not only that, but he is a very kind and compassionate practitioner as well. You can tell he truly loves helping people get better. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with digestive issues (or any other issue for that matter)!

David is a skilled and compassionate acupuncturist, massage therapist and all around amazing person. David and I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu together making him more in tune with the ache and pains that come along with it.
I’ve jacked up my neck, lower back, upper back, shoulders, etc and every time I see him I walk out of his office feeling a like a million bucks, or at least until the endorphins wear off.
He takes insurance! My co-​pay is $ 10 and I’d happily pay 20 times that much for the services he provides.
Thank you for fixing me!

David is truly a gifted healer — and I do not dole out such labels often. His extensive experience and education in both TCM and Five Element gives him an unsurpassed ability to treat the human body and soul that few of his peers can hold a candle to. He is a skilled, patient and compassionate listener, genuine and invested in his patients and has successfully helped my body adapt and heal to a plethora of life stressors and minor illnesses for over seven years. I cannot recommend him highly enough for either acupuncture or massage. Don’t like needles? No problem — he can use needle-​free acutonics or other modalities to get you back on your feet and feeling better! I recommend him to anyone looking for an alternative to western medicine or those who have had previous negative experiences with acupuncture. My friends and family who have gone in has come back to me quite thankful for the recommendation!

David is very talented. I have been going to him for years and I always leave feeling like a million bucks. He listens very well, offers useful recommendations, and then his magic hands get to work. For someone previously very skeptical of non-​western medical care, I am now an avid evangelist of it. I always recommend folks to David.

David is truly a gifted healer. He listens carefully and really cares about his patient’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being. He works to find the underlying root cause of the imbalances and then corrects it from there which is the deepest form of medicine. His tool bag is expansive including counseling, massage, tuning forks and acupuncture in its TCM and Five Element forms. His treatments have been extremly effective in bringing balance to my health in all these realms. Throughout my pregnancy David was wonderful in helping me with back pain, muscle tension, stress, digestion and bowel support, and gave me really excellent nutritional recommendations. Besides his expansive expertise and knowledge of the medicine he brings, David is genuinely attentive and a generous soul; I highly recommend him. Thank you so much David!

David is an excellent practitioner. He is kind, sensitive, and has an innate gift to treat body, mind, and spirit in a deeply effective way. In addition to receiving acupuncture treatment from David, I have also had the privilege to have participated in a number of workshops with him. He is a wonderful teacher as well, and communicates the philosophy behind the Five Elements system with clarity and insight. I cannot recommend him highly enough. His practice will, without a doubt, help you find balance and health.

Like many reviewers have said, David and his acupuncture practices are like magic. I have had two failed hip surgeries and after my second surgery, not only was I suffering from the original pain in my hip, but also horrible pain in my leg and lower back. When I moved to Seattle I was referred to David for acupuncture– at this point I was willing to try anything to take my pain away. I was a little uneasy at first, but David was calm, caring, and extremely easy to talk to. After only a couple of sessions I could already tell a difference, I was getting better. I have been seeing David for six months now and I can say that my pain level has diminished to almost nothing.
Although I originally came to see David to help with my pain, he has helped me in numerous ways. Feeling lost in a new city, David has been an emotional support system and constant friend. When I came to an appointment feeling sick and stuffy, David had herbs on hand and a treatment to cure my cold. When I confided in him that my husband and I were trying to get pregnant, he told me that he could do acupuncture to promote fertility. And when we found out we were pregnant, David was supportive and full of joy and happiness for us. Throughout my pregnancy, David has been addressing my pain, as well as, offering pregnancy support through acupuncture. I have had a fairly easy pregnancy and I truly believe that it is because of support I have received from David.
David’s care is truly holistic and spiritual. I look forward to seeing him, and after each session I am always in a better mood. I feel like no matter what is ailing me, David can somehow help. Soon I will be leaving Seattle, and although I am overjoyed to move back to the place I called home for 25 years to start my family, I am truly saddened that I will no longer be able to see David for acupuncture treatments. I know I can find another acupuncturist but no one will compare to the treatment I have received with David. He is professional, gentle, compassionate, and full of knowledge on how to energize your life physically and emotionally. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve themselves and feel their best.

I’ve been going to see David on and off for a few years now. I truly consider his work to be an integral part of my overall health approach and as importantly and integral part of my spiritual journey. His deep commitment to Zen and the wisdom of eastern medicine is deep yet approachable. I highly recommend his practice to everyone interested in trying Acupuncture.

I’ve been seeing David for several months and I cannot say enough good things about him. Just walking in to his office has a calming affect. He is funny and warm and genuine, all the things I look for in a healing practitioner. He is also straightforward and honest. I have felt completely comfortable opening up to him, which is rare since I am normally an extremely private person. He has a way of saying things that resonate with me, so that I often find myself repeating what he has said when I face a difficult situation. Aside from all that, his 5 Element Acupuncture has made an enormous difference in my life. I had been to an acupuncturist before, but the results were nothing like I’ve experienced with David. I’ve seen steady progress in how I feel, how I react to stress and how much my mind and body have come together. I’m so glad I found him!

David is an amazing practitioner. His style immediately puts you at ease and from the first consultation you know that he genuinely cares about you as an individual. I have been a patient for several months and originally sought help for stress and managing the many demands that come with being a working mom. His approach of treating both the body and the mind helped me gain control of my life in a way I’ve not been able too for many years. After treating with David I’ve felt stronger, think more clearly and am more confident in who I am. I truly feel that David’s treatment has helped me recapture the essence of me. I wholeheartedly recommend David for anyone that is interested in acupuncture treatment.

Treating with David at the Zen of Healing has been an amazing experience. I went to see him as a stressed out working mom of two young children and started to see the benefits of his 5 Element acupuncture treatment immediately. Now I’m keeping up with our fast paced life with a huge smile on my face, appreciating life in a new light. But wait, it gets better. He also offers instruction in meditation and Qi Gong which adds to the awesomeness of the experience. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend David Tucker. David takes the time to listen and to help you see from within so that we can better support the healing process. 5 — Element Acupuncture is a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. I began seeing David for some very specific health issues and over a short period of time all of my symptoms have been alleviated, and with each session, David shares with me tools I leave with to maintain my health and balance.

I just had my first session with David and can only affirm all of the wonderful things that have been said about here him thus far. His calling is obviously that of a healer, and he went out of his way to make my experience as beneficial as possible. He is highly skilled, extremely caring, and clearly devoted to his modalities and his clients.

David listens, understands and cares for your whole mind, body and spirit. How I feel after a session with David is the true testament to his skill and the healing power of his practice. He is a professional with a heart.
I went to him for chronic headaches, bad dreams and mild case of the blues. After my first visit, my dreams were gone. On my second, I left with the biggest smile (which I really needed at the time). On my third, my nasal passages were cleared for the first time in at least a month. Through his acupuncture, acutunics, and massage he has been able to eat away at the tension in my head and upper neck alleviating my headaches. I leave his office with more energy and a smile. I continue to go to him knowing that my health and well being improve through the energy David releases and awakens in myself.

David has completely transformed my life. I have had intestinal problems since I was fifteen and been to many different doctors and tried many different medicines. Through David’s patience, encouraging words and lighthearted demeanor and using Five Element acupuncture as a conduit, I have reclaimed my independence and never felt better about myself and my body. Before I saw David, I didn’t even know how terrible I felt. I had no energy or tools to help myself find what my body needed to heal. David was able to help me see what I needed to work on in order for my body and mind to heal itself. David has given me the tools to have the freedom and energy to do all the things I used to be able to do and more. David also has this magical way of having you come up with your own solutions that you didn’t even know you had inside of you. He has helped me find ways to speak through my heart and calm my mind and gut. I quite often say to David, «You are magic.» He and acupuncture are magic and I acknowledge him as being instrumental in my physical, emotional and spiritual path to healing.

David has an incredible gift for the work he shares with his clients. Appointments with him are never rushed. The shared conversation appears to be as important as the actual physical work itself. I am receiving 5 Element Acupuncture treatment for some sleeping difficulties. This was my first experience with acupuncture of any sort and I entered a bit uneasy. David’s remarkable compassion and calm demeanor were immediately visible and paved the way for calming my uneasiness. My sleeping has improved remarkably, but what I didn’t expect was how this treatment could also affect my life in so many other positive ways. I highly recommend David’s services.

I have had the pleasure of working with David in a number of capacities. I have worked with him as a colleague, but have also had the pleasure of receiving some of his services. His healing work is like none other.
He has a holistic approach that both educates and heals. I feel like he genuinely cares about my health and puts forth his full effort to make me feel comfortable. I whole heartedly trust David to have my best interest in mind.
I recommend David’s services without reservation. He is the one that I recommend to my clients and friends.
Thank you David for being such a kind an honest practitioner, as well as a trusted colleague!

David is wonderful! I recently went to see him about some shoulder pain. He used a combination of acupuncture, cupping & massage that really alleviated my pain. His manner is such that you immediately feel at ease. By the time each of my treatments was done, I felt like so relaxed that I didn’t want to get off the table.

He does a process known as 5 elemental accupuncture, he sees a variety of my friends and they all rave non stop about him and how great he is.
In the day of always needing a pill, David heals your body from with in!
