Wendy's experience and knowledge about acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and the human body are extensive. I truly enjoy each visit with her and always leave feeling better than when I walked through the door. The space is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend anyone seeking treatment to reach out to her.

I had my first (and best) acupuncture experience with Wendy and I was hooked ever since. The amount of de-qi sensation on each point and success after the visit are incomparable to other acupuncturist I've seen (Sadly I no longer live in Asheville). After just one session I no longer had any elbow pain, and had some other issues helped as well. Definitely worth it.

Wendy is a truly gifted and experienced healer. Every acupuncture treatment with her begins with her attentive listening. That is one of her gifts. I first saw Wendy with an acute onset of extreme pain that had basically flattened me. She saw me the day I reached out to her and I left the first session feeling significant relief. Every time I've seen Wendy I feel an energetic shift. One that I haven't felt with other modalities or even other acupuncture treatments I've received.
Those shifts have activated my body's own healing process and abilities. I also have a sense of calm trust and inner peace. In addition, Wendy has recommended herbs that have addressed chronic issues that I've struggled with for years. I hope I've been able to express my confidence in her and my gratitude to her in these words.

Wendy is very knowledgeable and good at what she does. The herbal remedies and dietary instructions have been as helpful as the needle treatments. Very effective treatment.

Wendy has devoted her life to help and heal me and others holistically. I have been treated by Wendy for over thirty years! She has helped me with all sorts of aliments - some as serious as a very debilitating addictive behavior that would of surely killed me! She helped me save myself with Acupuncture and herbs. My family loves Wendy too! From frozen shoulder to the common cold, Wendy has always been there for me!
Her studies started at a young age with the guidance of two of her family's generations teachings followed by her travels with her traditional school to live witness and practice with the originators of over two thousand years of ancient and honored medicine. Wendy's disciplined intelligence coupled with her commitment has served me a healthy life. I am very grateful to have Wendy as my Acupuncturist. Namaste KK
