About

"Thanks to Elijah’s thorough assessment of my weekly condition and her expertise in acupuncture techniques, I have been able to weather a weekly chemotherapy regimen without having to use anti-nausea drugs at all. That means that I haven’t had to endure all the unpleasant side effects of the anti-emetics, including severe constipation. I also credit acupuncture and Elijah with keeping my energy at near-normal levels while I have been treated with toxic chemotherapy drugs. As a result, I am able to maintain a busy and full life during cancer treatment, which keeps me feeling positive and energized."

"Elijah’s acupuncture treatments have helped me tremendously in varied areas. From sugar addiction, PMS and cramps, to back and neck pain that I’ve had for ten years, I highly recommend her for a nagging pain or overall well-being. She is very helpful and exceptionally knowledgeable."

"After constant lower back pains from springboard diving, just 2 sessions with Elijah had incredible results and helped me to dive pain-free."

"Elijah has treated me for anxiety and SSRI (Zoloft) withdrawal. I started seeing results within a couple of treatments. Elijah devotes her complete attention to me during my appointment and is never distracted. Her ability to listen and ask appropriate questions to get to the root of my health issues has been an immeasurable help in my treatment. I don’t always know what information is important but she does and knows how to get to the source of the problem. In addition, Elijah has been able to treat my low energy levels. I have not had this much energy and focus in the last ten years."

"In May of 2005 my lower back suddenly began hurting. The pain was so bad that I even thought it could be a kidney infection. After a few days I finally got in to see my doctor who confirmed it wasn’t a kidney infection and prescribed some muscle relaxants. The muscle relaxants did absolutely nothing. Next, I took up the services of an osteopath. He prescribed muscle relaxants along with anti-inflammatory pills and a pain killer. The prescriptions cut down on the pain, but I was not only incapacitated but I didn’t really feel that the meds were helping to “cure” the problem… they were just masking the symptoms. There had to be another way. That’s when I learned that Elijah Hawken was practicing acupuncture. I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a skeptic. But after I made a fool of myself while speaking at a Sales Meeting in front of over 100 people because I was on hydrocodone and muscle relaxants and could not remember what I was talking about, I decided it was time to change treatments.

I didn’t know exactly what to expect. I soon discovered it’s not all about sticking needles into someone. Elijah spent a great amount of time asking me questions and getting to know me and my issues. The needle part was like something I’d never experienced before. I could feel it working because with each needle I felt these intense sensations that I had never felt before. Elijah first focused on my back issues. After every treatment, the pain lessened. After the fourth treatment, I felt like I was back to normal. Then Elijah started focusing on other areas that she regularly heard me complain about. For a few years, I had been having stomach issues in which my tummy would bloat out and be in so much pain that I wouldn’t want to leave my house. Through listening to my complaints and asking the right questions, Elijah suggested that I could be lactose intolerant.

Impossible, I thought! I drink 2 lattes a day! She asked me to experiment by cutting out all dairy products. And wouldn’t you know it… the pain and bloating went away. What I really appreciated the most was that Elijah really knew how to listen and methodically took notes during my sessions so she could track down where and when I was having problems. Then she could form her own hypothesis as to what was going on with my body… and she was right on! She also knew what actions to take to get to the bottom of the problem rather than just mask the symptoms like many doctors do by prescribing drugs which often have side-effects and do not get down to the root of the problem. I would highly recommend acupuncture for anyone who, like me, has not been able to cure their issues with traditional Western medicine. Thanks, Elijah!!!"
