Finding Relief and a True Healing Connection
“I first started going to Erica for acupuncture upon hitting a low point in my physical and emotional health. I'd developed painful ovarian cysts, as well as painful periods and accompanying bloating. Within months of our work together, my cysts had subsided, and have still not come back, almost a year after beginning treatment. Since then, I've continued with Erica to help address other challenges. Erica is incredibly thorough in her gathering of information each session, and creates a warm and trusting environment. I've felt safe and comfortable with Erica from the beginning, which has also made me want to continue to work with her. She never pushes or tries to "sell" me on additional services, as I've experienced with other providers. I genuinely look forward to my time with Erica - not only for the physical and emotional benefits, but also because our visits have felt like reconnecting with an old friend. Thank you, Erica, for your help when I had no other options - I am so grateful my symptoms have subsided and for your help!”

Thoughtful Care, Remarkable Results
“I went to Miru acupuncture after a disappointing consult with a doctor, who proposed exploratory surgery for my foot pain. I was not ready to commit to surgery for an undiagnosed problem and hoped acupuncture could address the nerve pain I was experiencing. Erica's approach was thoughtful, compassionate, and effective. Within the first two appointments, my foot pain faded to a manageable degree. I have also seen her for sciatica and the improvement was astounding.”

Years of Pain Finally Resolved
“I started seeing Erica because I was having chronic neck pain and headaches that I had dealt with for years. I had tried many avenues to alleviate my pain with limited success, and I was tired of taking so much medication. Upon meeting Erica, I was greeted with her warm personality and caring spirit. She really took the time to get to know me and my health issues I wanted to resolve. It’s been a few months since I started my acupuncture journey with Erica, and I can confidently say her methods are working! My neck pain is 100% gone, my headaches are reduced greatly, and she even resolved some digestive/gallbladder issues I was having. I am a customer for life!”

From Daily Pain to Daily Life Again
“I began seeing Erica weekly for an autoimmune disorder and migraines. The acupuncture sessions provided a lot of pain relief and helped me regain my normal sense of life again. After each session the pain relief continued further along each time and the relief I get with each visit is amazing. I’m glad to have tried acupuncture and found Erica as a practitioner. She is friendly and really cares about her patients.”

From Pain Shots to Lasting Healing
“For the last few years, I’ve been living with lower back pain that at times has been excruciating, especially when I was going to bed at night. A friend of mine, who is a physician, recommended Erica and I am so grateful that she did. At first, I was slightly apprehensive about leaving my pain doctor who had been giving me shots and other procedures for my sciatica but they just weren’t working anymore. I only wish I had tried acupuncture with Erica sooner.
From the very first session, I felt at ease with her warm and professional approach. She took the time to really listen to my concerns and created a personalized treatment plan that has made such a difference in my health. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in my chronic pain, and I feel more relaxed and balanced overall. Her space is calm, cozy and peaceful and I always leave Erica’s feeling rejuvenated.
Life is too short to live with your pain. If you're considering acupuncture, I highly recommend reaching out to Erica.”

Cupping That’s Technical, Gentle, and Effective
“Erica is a great acupuncturist and I recommend her cupping to everyone I meet! She is extremely technical, but still puts your comfort first. Before each session, she asks very specific questions which help her provide a more tailored experience to address the your concerns. I get excited every time my bimonthly appointment rolls around.”

Avoided Injury Thanks to Expert Care
“Really glad to have found Erica! I workout regularly and started to notice strain in my lower back. It wasn’t yet at a point where it was excruciating, but it would have been without intervention. Wanting to avoid a complete break from exercise and not seeing improvement with massage, I decided to try cupping and remembered Erica from an event she did at one of my workout studios. She is very personable and engaged in your care. In the first session we realized the pain originated from my hip, not my back. After three sessions and being armed with insight on stretches, the pain resolved. I am now much more mindful of form and stretching, and was able to continue exercising with only minor modifications. Highly recommend!”

Anxiety Resolved With Acupuncture
“I sought acupuncture for stress management and anxiety. After several sessions with Erica, it was obvious how effective and helpful the treatments were for me. Being more relaxed afterwards was the best feeling.
Erica is compassionate and truly listens to and cares for her clients. I highly recommend Miru Acupuncture to anyone interested in feeling better.”
