New to acupuncture, I was excited to give a session with Chris a try. For the majority of my life, I've suffered with ongoing allergies and intense, long-lasting, sinus headaches.... read more During our first session, Chris took a great deal of time to ask questions and understand my health goals. He walked me through his process and made sure I understood what the treatment we were trying that day actually was. I have been in for 5 consecutive sessions now, and I have not had a sinus pressure headache since. I also have noticed a significant decrease in my allergy symptoms, even during some peak Austin allergy days.

Chris has an extremely professional approach, while also making you feel comfortable and welcome. I've really enjoyed my sessions so far, and look forward to continuing them moving forward. I highly recommend Chris if you are looking for a holistic approach to your health care needs!

  As a full time athlete, I am very happy with how my body feels after working with Chris. I'm a member of the US Rowing national team, so I put... read more a lot of strain on my body with the amount of training that we do. I came to Chris after feeling tightness and pain in my shoulder. After talking through my symptoms and some short strength tests, he went to work. He was able to help relieve the tightness in the original spot, plus found other areas that I didn't even know were chronically in knots! He was very knowledgable and great to work with, and I'd recommend him to anyone.

  I've been doing acupuncture and cupping with Chris. My primary reason for going was to treat neck and shoulder pain. The pain and stiffness has been resolved. I am so... read more happy with the results and I am now working on other issues.

The office is comfortable and calm and I always feel better after my appointment.

If you are looking to try acupuncture or cupping, I highly recommend Chris at Balance Wellness.

  I love acupuncture and find it super effective for pain, PMS, immune boosting and general wellness being, but since moving to a new neighborhood I hadn't found a conveniently located,... read more quality spot until I met Chris. His office is like his demeanor-- soothing and relaxing. He put me at ease immediately, asked great questions, listened carefully and gave me a wonderful treatment that left me feeling all tuned up and eager to schedule my next visit. Highly recommended!

  Chris Goddin is a wonderful practitioner. He healed my back injury through cupping. I love this treatment! So easy and it just worked.

  I've done acupuncture once before elsewhere, but I did not see results like I did after my session with Chris. Came in for stress relief & some sleep issues and... read more I've been sleeping like a baby. It's interesting to know some issues I've been having are all tied together. Definitely check him out!

  Both of my arms, near the elbows, are inflamed - it hurts to lift things, pick up kids, etc. I tried a number of airrosti appointments and saw some progress... read more - painful process though. Met Chris at a health fair and he seemed very knowledgeable. First appointment was different for me than any doctor. Relaxing environment, music, needles, falling asleep... I'm used to it now (after 2 appointments) and can't believe the results. The arm pain has been gone for 5 days now since my last appointment - I just can't get over it!

Chris also treated me for stress, weight loss, and my sinuses. I see sustained improvement in all those areas. My wife sees it too.

Chris took a lot of time educating me - I wanted to understand it all and he shared w/o reservation. One simple statement got me to realize how airrosti, for example, and acupuncture are different: acupuncture is about stimulating the nervous system so that your body heals itself. Everything I tried on my arms wasn't helping. Inflammation can be "flattened", I guess, but it really hurt and wasn't leading to long-term healing very quickly. Why can't my own body heal my arms, or at least, help my therapy? Seems like it does. I'm trusting Chris and really impressed with his work.

  I've been seeing Chris the last few months to help with this annoying fluctuating anxiety I've been experiencing, and I've definitely noticed a difference in my temperament. In scenarios where... read more the anxiety would usually spike (wedding prep) I've been able to stay more grounded and in the comfort of my body.

I appreciated the way he explained that the treatment wasn't a cure all, but worked best with different modalities as well (yoga, breathwork, therapy, supplements.) Chris has such wonderful, beautiful, supportive energy, and that paired with his ability to be so present is no doubt a huge part of the healing experience.

I also appreciate how he offers a discount when you buy a bundle of sessions. The only unfortunate thing is he only takes clients M-F 9-5, so not ideal for the working person (though it's so he can be home with his family.) But if you can make it work it is so so worth it!

  Simply put, Chris is amazing. I saw him for the first time a few months ago to try out cosmetic acupuncture. Having never done it before, I was a bit... read more nervous but Chris' knowledge, confidence, and kindness made me feel instantly at ease. His clinic is clean and professional and just being there makes you feel calm and balanced. The treatment was wonderful too. Totally relaxing (it includes a head massage!!!) and the results after even the first session were amazing. I highly recommend Chris!

  I had some intense shoulder pain and could not get enough relief from over the counter pain medicine (ibuprofen, aspercreme, arnica gel) and decided to try acupuncture. I had... read more never gone to one before so was surprised at how much pain relief I got, even from my first visit. Chris took lots of time listening to my issues and then carefully explained everything he was suggesting. The pain is at least under control and I can function pretty well till either my body repairs itself or I have surgery to repair the problem.

  I've been meaning to try acupuncture for a while now, am glad to have finally done so, and to have chosen Balance Wellness. I couldn't be happier with the results.... read more I feel clearer and more intentional, in general. Thank you so much Chris!

  Professional, clean and very helpful. Highly recommend. When I went to Balance Wellness my nervous system was out of whack. It was actually quite worrying. Within a couple of short... read more months Chris was able to cool down my nervous system and bring it back to normal.
