Inspired Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

The shamanic healing session with Ariel was pure magic. She has taken me on a journey by singing a shamanic healing song.

I could feel the song activating my heart space. Before the session she asked me where I wanted to focus on, and I had the desire to work on the traumatic experience of losing my dad when I was 5 years old. I felt his presence during the shamanic healing session.

Ariel is a very powerful facilitator & an amazing space holder. She had intuitive hits during & after the session about which plants could support me on my healing journey.

I can highly recommend working with Ariel. She is a healing channel.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with Ariel on my path to wellness and radiant health. She has been one of my greatest assets and allies along this journey.

Ariel has been very accessible as a practitioner and medicine worker. We have worked together remotely, making it easy to “meet” while in different time zones, as well as in person, using song and plant energetics to guide healing sessions.

I approached Ariel to assist with balancing my female reproductive system when I opted to remove an IUD.Her approach to treating my whole being was refreshing and just what I needed. She considered my diet, lifestyle, impulses, cravings, curiosities, sleep habits, moods, behaviors and patterns when deciding what chinese herbal plants and formulas to prescribe me. She arranged to ship me raw herbs and provided instructions for making tea at home — a daily ceremony I look forward to with reverence.

Ariel is exactly the doctor I needed — one who listens to me and her intuition, who has a solid relationship with plants and the natural world, and who is devoted to healing.

I am so grateful to know and work with Ariel. She has a deep understanding of trauma, its effects, how it shows up for people, and how people can heal and move through it gracefully. Ariel has helped me immensely in my healing process and guided me through many iterations of my emotional and physical pain.

Ariel speaks the language of plants and is always able to tune into a person’s needs in order to recommend herbal/plant medicines. Her knowledge of various indigenous and ancient traditions allows her to prescribe various forms of meditation, breath work, herbology, acupuncture, and various natural and earth-based healing modalities.

I can genuinely say that I would not be here without her help, support, recommendations, and guidance.

Thank you so much Ariel. Thank you for hearing and seeing me, and for always being there with love, acceptance, and compassion. I am eternally grateful.

I have received Ariel’s acupuncture treatments many times over the years, and she consistently shows a detailed, caring, and knowledgeable approach that is impressive. I am a self-professed “needle phobe,” and am anxious when poked with needles even though I know it is beneficial, and Ariel’s touch is always just right, and the beneficial effects are undeniable. Perhaps the greatest trait I find from her approach is that she treats the complaints of her clients from a holistic perspective — she listens to my symptoms but also deeply considers the underlying cause from the physical, mental, and emotional angles to arrive at a treatment that not only provides immediate relief, but also targets the root of the imbalance, and reinforces my entire body’s strength and vitality. I am amazed at Ariel’s abilities with both acupuncture and herbalism and cannot say enough good things about her work.

I wanted to convey my huge, huge appreciation for your help with my wife’s shoulder injury. Your acupuncture sessions with her made an incredible difference. I’ve been around, I’ve worked in the medical profession and physiotherapy and orthopedics and I’ve never met an acupuncturist in my life who has such orthopedic skills and knowledge. Thank you so much. Your treatment got my wife out of her pain cycle that had even brought me to tears, because I couldn’t bear seeing her suffering from so much pain. You got her over that difficult pain cycle. The work you’ve done has made a huge difference in helping her shoulder injury – she has full range of motion in both shoulders now and more importantly, she now has no pain. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your help.

Having had numerous acupuncture treatments by various people in the past, I was prepared to (try to) grin and bear the needles once more. Chronic digestion/reflux/intestinal issues had left me almost without hope of relief. Ariel said she had cured herself of similar issues using acupuncture and herbs, and her energy was so confident and positive, that I was game. Her expertise with the needles was awesome, masterful. For the first time, I actually enjoyed getting the needles. She fixed my pulse imbalance in the first session, and for the first time in months I felt renewed and confident that my stomach issue was being addressed and straightened out.

She uses aromatherapy during the sessions, and while relaxing in her therapy room, I was enveloped in gentle, loving vibrations of rose, vetiver, and other mysterious concoctions. I was impressed with her total familiarity and actual love for the world of herbs and plants. Along with the needles and various energy moving techniques, Ariel recommended herbs and teas for me. It began my change of direction towards renewed health and enjoyment of eating. I highly recommend connecting with Ariel, whether it be for acupuncture, medicinal herb knowledge, or just general knowledge of how to heal energy that has gotten stuck. She has the true healer’s art of loving to see her patients regain their energy and life force.
