It worked like a dream. We discovered that I’m pretty sensitive to treatment, so Chris takes it super slow with me and always checks in as he’s placing the needles to see how I’m doing, make sure he doesn’t need to remove anything or adjust it, and just generally is so attentive. He spends time to thoroughly check in and asks after my overall health through a number of wholistic questions about my body, emotions, sleep patterns, etc before getting started at every session. His treatments helped me get through a ragingly stressful and anxiety ridden time and helped me recover, and I’ll be forever grateful that I found him.
He’s been so supportive of my overall healing, always answers the dozen questions I have about acupuncture and the body and the points he’s putting in (I love to nerd out on that stuff) and he’s never pushy about moving me farther along than I’m ready to go, so I’ve always felt super safe in his care. When I began seeking out reproductive acupuncture treatment, he acknowledged the limits of his expertise & said that is not his field, and suggested another practitioner. Chris is a true healer who knows that if he’s effective his client will turn up less and less - that’s been true for me and he’s been so wonderfully gracious about it!

Chris is a PROFESSIONAL! And has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to herbal medicine, acupuncture, and cupping. I've gone to him for 3 consecutive sessions now and have... read more noticed a dramatic decrease in neuropathy/tingling in my right hand pinky, and we've also used cupping to target some tension in my upper right shoulder/back area. I have enjoyed our sessions so far and will continue to see Chris for his expertise!

10/08/2019I 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!

After my first cupping and acupuncture session with Chris, I walked away so amazing. I had been experiencing a significant amount of pain in my neck and upper back. He... read more really took the time to listen to my issues and ask lots of questions. He makes you feel very comfortable and walks you through what he is doing throughout the appointment. I have never experienced feelings this great after any chiropractic, cupping or acupuncture session performed by anyone else. I will absolutely be back!

7/03/2018I 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.

9/15/2017I'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!Jennie L.

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.anon y.
2/26/2018I'm sooooooooooo thrilled to welcome acupuncture back into my life after a year of the pandemic life and neglecting self-care. Balance Wellness came highly recommended so I had to schedule... read more an initial appointment as soon as I could.
The scheduling process was so easy! I showed up, texted, was welcomed inside and taken straight back to the treatment room. Chris was thorough in his evaluation and treated me at my first appointment and I'm already feeling so much relief!
I highly recommend Chris if you like me want to get to the root of your issues and seek balance and relief in your body and mind!
Can't wait for my follow up appointment!Shveta M.
4/13/2021As 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'm so glad a friend recommended Chris at Balance Wellness. I've been dealing with stress, anxiety and many sleepless nights that were impacting my health. In the past I've seen... read more traditional Western medicine doctors who have either not believed my symptoms or simply failed to helped me. I scheduled an initial treatment and consultation and Chris asked me all about my health history and listened to everything I was experiencing. I've just completed my 4th session and Chris and our acupuncture sessions will now be part of my health "toolbox" for life. In just 4 sessions I've been sleeping more soundly through the night and feel more calm and rested. I think my body's been operating in fight or flight for so long I forgot what it felt like to just "be". He's extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and his bedside manners are wonderful. I had never tried acupuncture before and am only sorry I didn't hear about Chris sooner. Book a session with him, you won't regret it!

10/22/2021I'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.Kelly W.

When I went to Chris he was very welcoming and explained what treatment he recommended and why.
After my first... treatment I was able to move my neck! My wrist feels slightly better, he did explain that an injury (such as my wrist) that's been brewing for 10 years would take longer to recover. Makes sense.
After the first treatment I felt AMAZING. I was in a deep relaxing state. I felt a little tired and groggy, but that's not a complain. It was like my body went through massive recovery all in 45 min.read more
