“Having suffered for years with IBS, I became frustrated with traditional medications that offered no relief to the uncomfortable symptoms. With Acupuncture and Chinese medicine being new to me I was a bit nervous at first, but I immediately became at ease with Elisa. She explained everything to me in a way that I could understand, and made me feel completely comfortable. After a short time my aggravating symptoms diminished and my overall being is relaxed and peaceful. With regular treatments and the support of high quality herbs, I feel absolutely amazing!! Thank You Elisa! You are a truly gifted Acupuncturist and a natural healer!”

 “I first met Elisa at the Pacific College Of Acupuncture Clinic. She was assisting the intern who was in charge of treating me. Her kindness and compassion really stood out – she displayed such genuine interest in my case even though she wasn’t directly involved in the “needling.” Of course I sought her out when she became an intern at the clinic and I was really impressed by her diagnostic skills, and her treatments were powerful. When Elisa became a licensed Acupuncturist and started her own practice, I was thrilled. She could really do her own thing, and it was apparent – I feel incredibly balanced after her treatments in a way I have never felt before. She is very sensitive to subtle energies and emotions of the patient – I can’t imagine how she does it! She is a gentle yet firm spirit!”

“Elisa is not only knowledgeable, professional and a holistic healer…But kind, understanding and has a genuine care for understanding all human beings. She has cured my migraines and helped me achieve what my regular physicians thought I could not without prescription medicine…a regular menstrual cycle. Elisa has given me beneficial nutritional advice to control my acne breakouts, stress levels and improved my overall quality of life! I highly recommend Elisa to anyone seeking a professional acupuncturist or looking to explore alternative health options.”

“After seeing Elisa Hirsch-Cotter for treatment I noticed an immediate difference in my well being. After just a few sessions the cravings that led me to overeat are gone and I have subsequently lost weight. I’ve noticed a reduction in hot flashes, digestion issues and insomnia. I feel completely supported by Elisa and her treatment goes beyond the application of acupuncture, which she does so well that I enjoy the bliss of what feels like a full body massage all day long. She has created a beautiful healing space and her calm and nurturing demeanor makes treatment day my favorite day of the week.”

“After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease and having difficulty getting pregnant, I wanted to try an alternative approach to help get my digestion back on -track and to by-pass fertility drugs. Upon meeting Elisa, I instantly felt comfortable with speaking with her and I was very impressed with her immense knowledge of Celiac Disease and infertility. I loved the way I felt after each treatment and I appreciated how Elisa checked-in on me after my sessions. I am happy to say that today my Celiac Disease is under control and I’m even happier to say that I am now a mommy to a baby girl. Thank you Elisa, I truly believe that I could not have entered the world of motherhood without your help!”
