Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments use fine needles to stimulate energy flow and address conditions ranging from chronic pain to fertility issues. Sessions promote natural healing by restoring balance to the body's systems. Patients often experience improved well-being after personalized treatment plans developed through comprehensive consultations.
Photo Biomodulation
This non-invasive therapy combines infrared heat and colored light therapy to reduce inflammation and enhance cellular function. The 20-minute sessions target specific energy meridians while the TDP lamp provides mineral-rich heat therapy. Patients report increased circulation and pain relief following these treatments.
Detox Services
Foot detox sessions use ionization technology to draw toxins from the body through the feet. The 30-minute treatments support the body's natural detoxification processes and may improve energy levels. Many patients combine these sessions with acupuncture for enhanced wellness outcomes.
Fertility Coaching
Personalized coaching addresses fertility challenges through holistic approaches including supplement protocols and lifestyle modifications. Sessions may include guided acupressure techniques and nutritional counseling. The program integrates with conventional fertility treatments to optimize conception success rates.
Insurance Billing
We assist patients with insurance claims submission for out-of-network benefits. While maintaining contracts with major providers like Aetna and United, we provide superbills for reimbursement. Our team helps verify coverage details and manage post-claim billing processes for patient convenience.

Had a really hard time finding a good acupuncturist when I moved back to the Seattle area. Not only does she listen well to your verbal wants and concerns but she also pays close attention to your bodies needs. She has great diagnostic skills. I am continually impressed by how good Deborah is, no doubt you'll be in good hands here.

After 23 years in the technology industry I was stressed out of my mind. With other acupuncturists the needles were very painful, but the benefits were terrific. So I started shopping around for a kinder, gentler practitioner. Nicole Parkhill is sweet and knowledgeable. After a few sessions she suggested my needle pain was from a vitamin B deficiency. As I increased my vitamin B intake, the needle pain subsided. Now the treatments are very helpful and mostly pain free. When I need the benefits of acupuncture, I call Nicole Parkhill.

Well, I was back to see Deborah again after an SUV driver decided to make a sudden right hand turn from the bike lane. I was riding home from work doing about 28 MPH and just couldn't stop in time. I ended up going through the back window. I was pretty banged up, with the worst of it being a bad concussion and a broken pelvis. I was getting bad headaches, which went away after Deborah did several acupuncture treatments.
My neck was really sore and stiff. Deborah took care of that with three treatments. She suggested a homeopathic (Arnica) that was amazing for pain relief and resulted in me not getting one bruise. She also had me take a bone growth supplement that must work because the orthopedic surgeon I'm seeing was really impressed with the bone growth he saw on my latest x-ray. I was walking without crutches after six weeks and will be going for a bike ride at seven weeks.

In the middle of training for a triathlon I came down with a stomach flu earlier this week which forced me to miss a bunch of training. I have a couple friends who recommended 7 Dragons as a way to expedite my recovery so I went in yesterday in hopes of being able to feel good enough to work out this morning. Deborah was GREAT! She was a good listener when asking why I was there and did a great job of explaining what she was doing through the process. Well, it must've helped as I was able to ride 22-miles and run 3.5 miles this morning as my first workout in a week! Thank you!

Deborah at 7 Dragons is amazing. Not only is she the best at what she does but is also just an awesome person. They were nice enough to donate their services for a fundraiser to help a little girl get a service dog to help her with day to day living. Places like 7 Dragons and Deborah are exactly the kind of business I like to support
