"Emma is the most welcoming, patient, attentive and supportive health expert that I have ever had. Her acupuncture work gets results in my body and mind within seconds.

​

"Wonderful Experience!  I have upper back and nerve issues. After seeing Emma for only 3 sessions, it's opened up pathways that I haven't felt in years! The atmosphere is very calming and friendly! Emma 
shows extensive knowledge of acupuncture strategies, displays a love for her work, and asks lots of questions to track progression"

"Emma is amazing! Emma has wonderful bedside manner. She's super thorough and talks you through exactly what she is doing. I have already felt more focused after two treatments. We are now beginning work on my lower back. I highly recommend seeing Emma and making her part of your self care ritual!"

- Renée S., actor

​

"Emma is a health partner.  She gets to the heart of the whole system - the true meaning of holistic.  I came in seriously depleted, with a laundry list of long standing issues.  Emma saw the overall picture and created a treatment plan. After over a decade of poor sleep, I am finally sleeping deeply after only a short period.  She consults every single visit as to what's happening. I've tried many types of health practitioners and  I can truly say she's partnering me to health in a way that I have not experienced."

       Update, 1 year later:

"After a little over a year of working with Emma, I'm amazed at the progress I've made.  I'm so much more resilient, flexible and healthy.  When I started working with her, I was really sick and depleted.  I committed to a regular schedule of appointments, changed my diet according to the guidelines she gave me (mostly!), and took the herbs she prescribed.  I turned 60 last October and INSTEAD of feeling older, more tired, less energy, I feel better.  Seriously!  She is truly a healing partner.  I am very grateful."

"I have been a licensed massage therapist for 14 years and have had a difficult time finding an acupuncturist in Los Angeles whose work I trust and connect with. I am excited to have finally found Emma who is both incredibly intuitive and has expansive knowledge of the body. I have seen her over the last few months for anxiety, and can say that I leave each treatment feeling grounded and wonderful. Over time, things that I didn't realize were effected, like my lack of appetite, have completely changed! Emma is a good listener, she approaches each session thoughtfully, and openly explains how she will approach your body. It is clear that she is someone who is invested in her work and providing the best care for her patients. Besides being good at what she does, she is warm, easy to talk to, and each time I leave feeling genuinely cared for."

-Tati V., massage therapist

​

"I first received treatment from Emma while she was training and I followed her when she graduated to her own practice. When I see Emma consistently, I stay physically and mentally healthy when work/life is overwhelming and while others are sick around me. Specifically, Emma has had great success with me in treating/preventing: migraines, muscle stiffness/aches (she can free up my neck kinks in minutes), digestion, depression."

- S.D.P.

 

​

"I had a bad case of "trigger finger", as well as neck, wrist and back injuries from a car accident. The hand specialist told me i would need injections of cortisone and possible surgery.  Being a guitarist by trade i was unable to rest it.  By my 2nd session with Emma i was back to playing with fluidity in my finger and much less pain in my wrist, back and neck.  By the 5th session i knew for sure i would not be getting the injections because the treatments from Emma were having such a profound effect."

- Al T., professional musician

 

​

"Five Rivers treated me recently for knee and back pain from sport injuries. Emma was very professional and both my knee and back pain were significantly reduced. Before my treatment running was very painful, now I've been able to join a soccer team and play pain free ever since. So happy I decided to conquer my fear of needles and get some acupuncture treatment. I honestly thought the needles would be freaky, but they are so small you barely even feel it, and then they melt your muscles like a massage from within. Fantastic! I would highly recommend her work to anyone, especially people who are new to this type of medicine. Thank you Emma!"

- Luc D.

​

"Emma has the most incredible healing hands I have ever experienced! Her acupuncture did magic on my back pain and my anxiety! She can tune into your being and bring harmony and joy back to it! Happy, happy I found her!" - Roberta S., actor and singer

​

​

"Emma has a wonderful bedside manner and immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She discussed my condition and the options for treatment under her care. I found my TMJ improved after my treatments and she offered me great follow-up tips to lessen stress as after care. I would highly recommend Emma as an acupuncturist."

- Ray P., pediatric medical doctor

​

​

"Emma is exceptionally talented, caring, competent, mindful, and a true asset to the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

- Carolyn B., licensed acupuncturist

​

"I recently fell during a hike and have been dealing with pain for a week before deciding to try acupuncture over traditional medication...I can definitely feel the difference and it has been a rewarding and relaxing experience. I would definitely highly recommend to anyone."

-Erika C.

​

"Emma was great. It was my first experience with acupuncture and I was so impressed with the knowledge and practice.​"

- K.M.

 

 

"Emma is deeply connected to her body and soul. Her guidance of embodiment practices are rich and she transmits beautifully, so you can feel your soul."

- Karynne B.

​

​

"Emma single handedly is changing my life. Shoulder/Neck pain I thought I would have forever is melting away and I'm feeling more myself, rather more grounded, confident, calm.  I was weary at first of needles and someone staring at my tongue and coming to conclusions, but Emma is good at putting one at ease and building your education as a newcomer, and this makes the unusual seem common and necessary.  I have been working with Emma for over a month now and I wish I would of started it years ago, really helps with relaxation and sound sleep.  If you are hesitant to try I really suggest starting with this sweet, mindful human."
