“I was diagnosed with mild depression that I just couldn’t seem to shake. My therapist recommended that I take anti-depressants (SSRI’s) but I knew that needed to be a last resort for me. The day after my first treatment with Elie, I already could feel the gloom start to lift and I had a sense of contentment that I hadn’t had in a long time. I’ve now had several appointments and I’m so pleased to report that I am no longer depressed and that my thoughts aren’t getting stuck in that dark spiral anymore.” – CF
“Following a breast cancer diagnosis in 2011, I started chemotherapy treatments. Early into my treatment I recognized that supportive health care is not a part of traditional cancer treatment. With my body under assault from chemo, I knew I had to do something to balance the harsh effects. I began acupuncture therapy with Elie on a regular basis. After acupuncture treatments I consistently noticed a dramatic decrease in muscle pain, nausea, fatigue, and the neurotoxicity of chemo. Elie’s clinical expertise as well as her caring and supportive ways were incredibly helpful to me.” – Joan
“Dr. Elie is very holistic in her assessment and treatment planning. She brings confidence, knowledge and hope. She’s encouraging, accessible and creates a safe environment. I would highly recommend Dr. Elie to adults but also to adolescents, a group that we often dismiss as ‘just being teens,’ when in reality they may greatly benefit by Dr. Elie’s holistic healing (like my daughter did).”
“When I went to my mom’s house on Thanksgiving, she looked at my face a really long time. She paused, and said my skin looks really good. I haven’t seen her for a couple months, so she’s a good barometer. My mom does not notice things like that! Then she stared at my face even longer and she said, “You should get me that cosmetic treatment, I want it done!”
She said my coloring looked good and I looked healthy.” – Ashlee, age 40
“You do a wonderful job of integrating mind, body, and spirit, and honoring all three of those aspects in your treatments and in the way you communicate, Dr. Elie!” – Shelley
“I’ve never had such quick results getting acupuncture than I’ve had with Dr. Elie Cole.” – Amy
“Elie’s knowledge and intuition saved my life. She served as my healer before and after surgery, guided my anti-cancer pH diet and helped me get healthy again.” – Julie, age 27
“About a year ago, I started going off my depression meds and I was not feeling well. I began seeing Dr. Elie for acupuncture and later she added Chinese herbs. During the process I came off all my depression meds and started feeling better. Next, I weaned off the Ambien and Clonazepam I used for sleep. Finally off all these meds, my energy increased and I’m feeling optimistic for a med-free future. Elie’s support and treatment methods were and continue to be invaluable to my health!” – Jamie
“What I love about acupuncture is that it transforms my inner experience. It doesn’t just “mask” the symptoms, it changes the need, it addresses the problem. It is done over time, but the changes are lasting.” – Linda, age 52
“After taking Elie’s Paleo class, sometimes I see people in the grocery store and I see what’s in their cart and I want to scream….NO…YOU can make better choices.
I will say our food budget increased. The processed food is cheap, it’s the real food that costs. But we aren’t getting as sick as we used to or going to the doctor as much.” – Spence
