“I'm a 28 year old female who started seeing Erin to treat my hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). For years, always feeling hot and experiencing extreme flashes of heat that sometimes lasted all day long, I felt like a woman twice my age going through menopause. I had seen every kind of doctor to figure out what was wrong: dermatologists, homeopthatic doctors, naturopathic doctors, had my thyroid and hormones tested to no avail. No answers. Through working with Erin (along with an herbalist at Bastyr) I found my body was holding excessive damp heat causing me to feel hot and in turn, sweat excessively. Since I have been seeing Erin for acupuncture and taking herbs, my condition has greatly improved. I have great days where my sweating is minimal and I don't feel hot all day. The white patches I had on the palms of my hands due to constant sweaty palms have reduced about 95%. I had been dealing with this frustrating condition for years with absolutely no help until now. I am convinced that Blue Peacock Acupuncture can help you improve any health concern you have and I am excited to continue working with Erin because it means I will keep improving. Acupuncture has also extremely improved my complexion, kept me free of migraines for months and has helped me function without coffee!”

“I'd been suffering from extreme allergies (itchy eyes, neck, and throat, sneezing, and constant runny nose) for years. The environmental allergies were bad when I left the house, but far worse when I came home to my dog. Forget about a nice evening with me if you have a cat! Non-drowsy allergy medications make me feel speedy, and all others make me groggy. It seemed an impossible ailment to fix. My quality of life was severely hurting and I needed help! Thank goodness for Erin! I started out going to her every week for a month, and every week I noticed a difference. She takes insurance so that helped with the cost (although, even without insurance, it's a small price to pay for feeling normal again). The big test was this week when I went on vacation and lived with a cat for a couple days. I couldn't believe it! Not even one sneeze. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Erin. Not only are the treatments saving my life, but the time spent in your care is rejuvenating and relaxing.”

“As a 40th birthday present to myself, I decided to do The Facial Rejuvenation Series. I spent some time talking to Erin about the series and what to expect. She was very thorough in answering my questions and concerns (needles, yikes!) and she immediately put me at ease. Turning 40, I felt I looked pretty good, but I spent a lot of my youth in the Montana sun and neglected my skin through my 20s and early 30s. I am starting to see my skin change, more fine lines are showing up and I am starting to see some hyper pigmentation (sun spots!). I certainly am not interested in looking 25 at 40, I just want to look the best I can at 40...”
“As I started my series, I was pleased to see that Erin incorporates full body acupuncture in a FR Treatment, so as she consulted with me she asked me questions regarding my whole body /mind wellness. She addresses my anxiety and stress levels along with other issues I have, like crazy sugar cravings and weather doll drums.”
“I started seeing and feeling small results after my 3rd Treatment, I felt the effects of acupuncture after my first visit...I had more energy, my stress levels were lower, my skin looked a little more creamier and felt more taught. Once I was halfway through my Series, friends, family and clients were complementing me. A lot of them didn't know I was doing Facial Rejuvenation, so they would comment on my "new" hair color ( I hadn't changed a thing about my hair in over a year.) and asked me if I just got back from vacation...apparently I looked well rested!”
“As I finished my FR Series, I couldn't believe how good I felt and looked! It was exactly what I wanted, I feel and look better than I have in years, but I did it without invasive, unnatural methods. I will continue to see Erin at least once a month, I can't imagine not having this a part of my regular routine, like a chiropractic adjustment, or a massage, or yoga. I continue to get compliments on how I look and I continue to feel and look better than I have in years. It's the best birthday gift I have ever given myself!”

“In my work as an electologist I sit all day leaning over people. It causes soreness and backache. Since it was the first treatment I've had, I was apprehensive and worried about the pain. She sensitively explained what was going to happen. She started slowly and kept making sure I was comfortable. I asked when she was going to start and she told me she already had three needles in. I then relaxed knew this was going to be a good thing! I never felt the insertions but could sometimes feel a heat sensation. At one point I felt heat going from my back all the way to my toes. I asked Erin what that was and she said ‘WE FOUND CHI’. After the acupuncture treatment was over, she did cupping. That was just a special little bonus. It felt wonderful! I asked Erin when I could expect to feel better. She said everyone is different and I could feel better immediately or it could be the next day. I went to sit in a chair and I stood up. I sat down again and stood up again. I couldn't believe it but the pain was completely gone for the first time in weeks. I had to really test this out, so I sat on the floor in front of the TV and played cards for an hour with no pain. I could have never done that before. I strongly believe in acupuncture as a way of alleviating pain and highly recommend Erin's ability.”

“I am a hairstylist and I get regular massage. I got acupuncture with Erin and felt more relief than I have ever before. With massage I usually am needing more within a week or two. When I got acupuncture from Erin the relief lasted for at least 3 weeks! She also did "cupping" on me and it felt amazing! I am a true believer and must have these services as part of my regular regime!”

“I have seen Erin several times for both acupuncture and massage. She put me immediately at ease and was friendly, professional and engaged. I trust her completely and she has always provided the best treatment possible.”
