About

"I am a 54 year old male and I broke my left tibia and dislocated my left knee in October, 2006, tearing out the ACL altogether, tearing the meniscus and seriously damaging the other three ligaments of the knee. Surgery was performed immediately. It was debatable whether I would ever be able to even walk on the left leg without further reconstruction surgery. Ms. Hawken began treating me with acupuncture soon after I was released from the hospital. Elijah has treated me 5 or 6 times in the last 6 months, at first when I was in extreme pain. Each time, within 24 hours it was plainly obvious to all that I had improved, by pain reduction, swelling reduction, increased mobility, increased flexion, increased vigor and the welcomed notion that I just might recover.

I am now walking again, it is 6 months since surgery. Ms. Hawken’s treatments continue to have a measurable effect on my ability to walk. I am quite a skeptical man, and rarely in my life have I encountered anything as profoundly effective as her acupuncture, it occurs for me almost like magic because of the sudden shifts toward normalcy that each treatment affords. I don’t think that I would be walking without crutches if I had not been treated with acupuncture, it is plainly and measurably effective and I recommend it."

"I am no longer able to take any pain medication orally, not even aspirin. Elijah has been treating me for various ailments. Due to her methods of acupuncture and manner in which she administers acupuncture, I leave her treatments feeling very relaxed, free of pain, and with a sense of well being. The bonus of this kind of treatment is that it is all drug-free."

"Elijah Hawken has done more in seven months to relieve my migraine headaches than the previous seven years of conventional western medical treatment. While conventional treatment focused solely on alleviating the headaches as they occurred, prescribing increasingly larger doses of medications which often produced intense “rebound” headaches and always left me feeling drained and dispirited, the acupuncture treatments I have received from Ms. Hawken have significantly reduced both the frequency and severity of my headaches.

I have been able to halve the dosage of my prescription medication when I do occasionally still require it, and I have not had to take it at all for over a month, whereas I used to take a full or double-dose two to three times per week. And I continue to improve with each treatment. I can now envision a life without either pain or drugs, which I hadn’t thought possible just a year ago. As if that weren’t enough of a blessing, the treatments have also increased my energy level, boosted my immune system, greatly improved my digestive functions, and enhanced my overall sense of well-being. I feel I cannot recommend Ms. Hawken highly enough."

"As a boxing photographer, I put my body in some pretty unnatural positions trying to get the shot. Eventually, I developed chronic pain in my neck – a hazard of the trade, or so I was told. I suffered with this pain on a daily basis for two years and considered a change in careers until, on the recommendation of a friend, I made an appointment with Ms. Hawken. I have to admit, I was skeptical at first, but no more. After a few treatments the pain and stiffness in my neck were gone. The procedure was painless, drug-free and actually quite relaxing. Not only have I returned to Ms. Hawken for successful treatments in other areas but, after two years, my neck remains pain-free. I find Ms. Hawken to be personable, professional, and immensely qualified. I highly recommend her health-care treatment."

"After 6 months of having a paralyzed vocal cord and not being able to speak without a microphone or breathe correctly, Ms. Hawken treated me with acupuncture for 5 sessions. After the first session, I had a partial-voice back within 5 days. Within 7 weeks I had 95% of my voice back! I do believe the acupuncture did the trick!"
