“Christy is a wonderful practitioner. I consistently received treatments from her while going to school. My primary concerns were fatigue, indigestion, and irregular and painful periods. Christy treated me with acupuncture and herbs. Thanks to her treatments I rarely experienced indigestion and my periods started normalizing. Christy really impressed upon me the importance of taking care of my health and encouraged me to get regular treatments whether it was from her or not. What I appreciated the most was her genuine care for my well-being. I never felt pressured to do anything. From that simple act of kindness, I change from just valuing my health to actively pursuing my health.”
“I have been seeing Christy for a chronic condition for acupuncture. She is an excellent listener and took a very thorough history of a long, complex condition. She communicates the treatment process, her thoughts on overall health, and at-home techniques very clearly. I always know what she is doing and why. I appreciate her kindness and compassion in the way she practices. The acupuncture treatment is very relaxing and gentle. I know that working with her is leading to healing, rather than just treating symptoms, as western medicine has offered for my condition. I would highly recommend her!”
“Christy is amazing. Besides being a fantastic acupuncturist she is just as wonderful a person. I decided to post because as a peer, I get to see things most clients (although I've had some of her work) don't get to see and that is her dedication to her craft. She comes in early to do her own work first with qi gong in order to be filled and energized for work. She's intentional and when you come she has prepared herself, her tools, her room for you. I have worked with several other acupuncturists as peers but I have never seen someone hold as much reverence for their craft. This is not someone that is just doing this for the money. She is a TRUE healer!!”
“Great attention to detail during intake; very warm and calming throughout appointments; effective care for specific complaints, as well as general mood and spirit. Christy does a wonderful job of applying her academic knowledge and intuitive healing to each treatment. I am so grateful for her work, and highly recommend her.”
“Christy is absolutely great! I was looking for someone to help me with my tight back and leg muscles and she has been doing Gua Sha on me for a few months with great results. My biggest problem with some folks is that they are too gentle but after letting Christy know I could handle the intense stuff, she has been applying the perfect amount of pressure for me. I'd highly recommend this fun, happy, and skilled lady!”
“Christy is a skilled acupuncturist as well as a knowledgeable herbalist. I had received her treatment several times and it worked well and I got excellent results. Her needling technique was gentle with soothing touch. Her intake was very detail-oriented and I felt her enthusiasm for helping patients. I strongly recommend her if you are looking for an acupuncturist.”
“Christy is an experienced acupuncturist whose needling you can barely feel. She is extremely gentle when needling but extremely strong when giving a massage. Christy has such a great energy about her and has a great healing presence. Her treatments have really helped me. She is very thorough and communicates all the details. She is also very open to questions and is patient with her patients. I would highly recommend her. She really cares about her patients.”
“I have had many treatments, and made good progress on my condition with her help. Christy is obviously well trained in Chinese medicine, and is always willing to share her knowledge and answer any questions. Its a relaxing and safe atmosphere, easy to find, plenty of parking on the street. She listens to her patients and is very professional. I highly recommend her as an alternative to or along side traditional western medicine.”
“I was very fortunate to find Christy. She is professional and caring. Her treatments don’t hurt and the results are amazing. I am pain free.”
“I love getting treatments from Christy. She is kind and gentle and I always feel nourished and balanced after a session with her. Christy makes you feel cared for and has helped me with everything from the common cold to muscular pain.”
“I never liked Acupuncture until today. I started treatment with Christy. She specializes in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. I've been feeling real awful like bloating, backpain, abdominal pain and irregular periods and she has helped me a lot already in one session. I can already feel like I have a lot of energy coming back to me. We only have one body we need to nourish and love ourselves. I look forward to seeing Christy and regulating my body.”
“Christy is a true healer. As a patient you will feel listened to, respected and honored. I worked with Christy during my pregnancy and I felt that her treatments played a large role in maintaining a healthy and complications- free pregnancy. Her acupuncture and herbal formulas addressed my morning sickness/ nausea, low back pain and stress/ anxiety. I always felt safe in Christys hands- she explains her treatment plans very clearly and never makes you feel silly or unintelligent for questions you may have about Chinese medicine! I would recommend Christy to anyone seeking Chinese medicine whether for the first time or as a returning patient.”
“Christy Ouk is a consummate professional. She gave me my first ever acupuncture treatment, and I was a bit nervous. However, Christy's calm and intelligent bedside manner instantly put me at ease, as she explained to me what tests she was giving me and where my chi was stagnant. I felt zero discomfort as she effortlessly tapped the acupuncture needles into several different points. She even made some adjustments as she could determine how the chi was flowing throughout my body and how the needles were "talking" to each other. After my treatment, I felt very calm, and since I have some Qigong experience, I could feel an improvement in my lung and kidney chi. I felt more grounded. I also felt less anxious and depressed. Ms. Ouk then put together several bags of herbs for me to take home and drink. A week after the treatment and having consumed all of the medicinal Chinese herb tea, I felt healthier and in better spirits. I definitely plan to return to Life Seed Acupuncture and receive more treatments.”
