“I am a 56-year-old former college athlete and 30+ year post-college runner for exercise, mostly on sidewalks and roads. The end result of this is bone-on-bone knees and increasingly debilitating arthritis, to the point where running stopped several years ago, a day of hard skiing cripples me for weeks and I have days when I can barely get upstairs.
I came to Emma after overdoing it on a ski trip, being unable even to walk comfortably, with severely and chronically swollen knees. I’d been given a prescription for the knee swelling prior to an eventual double replacement, but it made me very sick to my stomach. I had a multi-day hike planned with my adult daughter and I desperately wanted to go on it. Why not try acupuncture? The impact was so immediate as to be almost surreal. After the first treatment, I felt better than I had in weeks. After 4 treatments I could walk, went on hikes of 10+ miles a day with my daughter, and kept the swelling down for a week or two after. Sadly, I moved and cannot see Emma on a regular basis. If I could, I would come in at least once a week and not need the pills at all. Since the treatments, I have not had to go back to the pills with proper care as directed by Emma.”

“As a Wounded Warrior I feel qualified to talk about pain and dysfunction… but all that changed when Emma began to treat me. Emma’s acupuncture changed my life. Not only did Emma address my numerous physical injuries through her needle work, but she also helped me mentally and spiritually as well. Emma’s approach to my convalescence was well thought out and targeted not just the symptoms of my pain but the actual source.
Over the course of six months, Emma diligently addressed numerous issues with my feet and knees, allowing me to regain full mobility after living a near sedentary lifestyle. Emma applied numerous techniques and tapped into channels of positivity in myself that opened new hope and optimism. Emma’s knowledge, diligence, and professionalism have resulted in a return of full mobility for me. When I started treatment with Emma, I could not walk without great pain, but now, in just six months, Emma has me fully mobile again… cured and happy. I cannot recommend this Healer enough!”

“I’ve seen Emma several times for a variety of health concerns. I’ve also seen many acupuncturists over the years and feel Emma’s chosen treatments are spot on for my needs each time. I first sought help for low back pain - Emma‘s treatment approach was a mixture of both Japanese and Chinese acupuncture, cupping, and moxa. I experienced rapid relief. I then saw Emma for whole-body inflammation. In addition to the previous treatment techniques she employed, she also prescribed herbs that were extremely helpful as well.
I recently saw her for long haul COVID. I was treated with herbs as well as acupuncture and cupping to manage my stubborn cough and the fluid retention in my lungs. At the time I sought treatment I had pneumonia, yet she was able to get my lungs cleared after the first treatment! I am amazed each time at the speed of my recovery. I look forward to her anti-aging treatments now that I’m healthy. Emma is gentle, caring, thoughtful and precise on which treatment would best serve her patients. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any of her services. She has a cutting edge menu of offerings and works with different styles, focusing on what each individual patient needs at that moment. She is a true healer.”

“After having back surgery on 3 discs and covid twice in 6 months, I had a hard time beating the cough that remained post covid. I was nervous about receiving an acupuncture treatment as my back was very sensitive and the nerves were damaged from the injury. My cough was intense and not helping my post-surgery recovery. Emma presents as an extremely professional, caring and attentive professional.
She has great bedside manner and is very personable. She was careful and precise about my treatment plan and treated my issues successfully. My treatment was extremely relaxing. After only one treatment my cough was drastically improved, nearly gone. I will continue to see Emma for my overall health and wellness needs.”

“When I went to Emma, I had been suffering from severe neck pain for several months due to a surfing injury. I had been to a chiropractor who thought it was a strained tendon and didn’t think an alignment was the solution. Emma asked very thoughtful questions about how I sustained the injury and palpated to isolate where I was feeling discomfort.
Most importantly she took the time to understand what I needed as an athlete, before doing any treatments. After three treatments of acupuncture and cupping, making minor adjustments after each, my neck pain was almost completely gone. With an additional few days of rest I was able to get back to my active ways! Thank you Emma!”

“A good integrative therapist, no matter the specialty, treats the whole person. This is where Emma McCune’s approach to health matters: Her acupuncture treatments are effective and long-lasting because she approaches her patients as complex individuals and adjusts treatments to their needs on several fronts.
I was a patient of Ms. McCunes for more than a year and am still benefitting from her approach to health care.”

"I am a very active 75-year-old woman with acute inflammation in my hands, feet, and neck along with anxiety due to health issues with my spouse. After consulting different Western Medicine specialists and PT, I realized this would be a chronic problem and I decided to try acupuncture. My first encounter with Emma McCune was using Chinese Acupuncture. I found her totally engaged in my healing process. She asked thoughtful questions to understand all the facets of my medical condition.
After each session, I felt renewed and relaxed and my symptoms nearly disappeared. After my full 12-week program, Emma advised me that I might benefit from Japanese Acupuncture and I started another 12-week program with Emma. After each treatment, I experienced less inflammation and anxiety. I again felt renewed and energized. I am a huge fan of acupuncture and the amazing care and concern provided by my therapist, Emma. Thank you Emma for greatly improving the quality of my life."
