I was in a bad auto accident on Memorial Day 2009, I was rear-ended on a Seattle freeway which did only slight damage to my vehicle. My physician sent me to physical therapy 3 days a week for three and a half months. This therapy produced little or negative results. I was in constant pain and told to limit my physical activity and not expect positive results. The next time my physician sent me to acupuncture where I received treatment that was very helpful both physically and mentally. I was faced with a crisis at age 61: pain, aches, and depression without any relief. With the acupuncture treatments and the care from Elie Cole, I again have resumed most of my activities. My overall condition mentally and physically, after six months of acupuncture therapy, is dramatically improved. Pain is still around but my activity level has increased dramatically, with my overall sense of well being returned by Elie and her abilities. For the great care, her concern, her knowledge and performance, I am truly grateful. I recommend Elies services to any and all. The results will be unbelievable.

I began seeking acupuncture this summer when I started to suffer from crippling anxiety associated with post traumatic stress disorder. When my original acupuncturist had to leave her practice for a short time, Elie stepped in and it was all the difference. She is very gentle and attentive and incredibly in tune with what your body needs. In the short amount of time she has been working with me, my panic attacks have nearly ceased completely and my ability to cope with past traumas has strengthened. I was afraid I was going to be stuck on tranquilizers my whole life, never really seeing myself being able to cope on my own. Through Elies practice, my inner strength has been awakened. (Not to also mention my PMS symptoms which were always out of control are barely noticeable). Elie provides a relaxing service that anyone should experience at least once!

I have had issues with nerve pain and chronic fatigue challenges for years, and after one visit with Elie my body felt soooo much better! I had an active weekend planned and was able to really enjoy myself without the usual twinges and exhaustion that I had in the past. I have seen a number of other acupuncturists in the past, but was not totally comfortable with the experience nor the results. The needles were different and some of them even left me in the room so if I needed them I would have to shout from the table! Elie is truly gifted in her work, and her knowledge of herbal remedies and massage therapy skills only makes seeing her even more helpful. I highly recommend her!

Elie helped me change my life. I was looking for a Chinese herbalist when I learned about Elie. After hearing about my specific medical issues, Elie explored other factors that were affecting my quality of life. She confidently created a plan for me that included dietary recommendations, acupuncture, herbal supplements, and exercise. After four months of following her advice and regular acupuncture, I feel like a different person. I couldnt have achieved this wonderful place without Elies compassion, knowledge, support and tenderness. I am truly thankful to be in her care.

I have been seeing Elie since October this year when my Mom passed away tragically. I honestly do not know how I would have gotten through the past seven months if it wasnt for Elie and the acupuncture I received from her. She is one of the most gifted healers I have ever met. She knows through intent active listening, experience and intuition exactly how to treat me each visit. She lead me through my grief in an extremely supportive and healing way. I look forward to every appointment with great anticipation, as I know it will leave me relaxed, calm and centered.

Have been taking the Qi Gong class from Elie for a few months and I find it to be extremely conducive to relaxation. Am an engineer who spends a lot of time in my head and in front of the computer and this practice is a huge step to re-balancing my energies. I find myself using the forms in daily life situations beyond her classroom. She teaches a sitting form of Qi Gong whose intention is to open the heart and calm the mind. And as one member of the class put it “…its like a opiate…” Elie is a very knowledgeable, accessible and down to earth teacher.

I had bad lower back pain. I tried resting, massage therapy, advil, walking. Finally, I found Elie. She was really great at listening to my concerns and tailoring treatments for me. We did acupuncture, cupping, stretching, and herbal supplements. She even helped with my tight shoulders while I was there. Thanks to Elie Im pain-free and back to running and biking.

Im grateful that my physician sent me to Elie. She treated my pinched nerve with care and resourcefulness. Elies extensive knowledge of the body has helped me to listen to what my body is telling me. I love that she is always pulling new tricks out of her hat and listens to my feedback. She facilitates my healing by empowering me. Thank you Elie!

I first went to Elie for acupuncture, but stayed on to become a massage client. Shes skilled, smart, and friendly--my weekly visits are pure pleasure. Each session is a little different, depending on my needs and my condition that day--but I always end up feeling Ive just gotten the best massage of my life.

I have been a client of Elies for several years now. I have had neck pain during the winter months which I assumed was due to arthritis. Elie diagnosed excessive dampness and began treating it with Chinese herbs. I experienced an immediate improvement.
