Acupuncture in Poulsbo

“My wife and I have been going to Element 7 for several years now. They have helped ease the pain in my back and hips. I am now more active and enjoying life. My wife has fewer migraines and her light sensitivity has gotten much better. The doctors have helped us in many ways and we cant thank them enough.“

“Sacred Root has been amazing to me and getting my health in order. I see the naturopath, Dr. Melanie Green, who listens, encourages you to lead in how you want to be catered too, and guides you with a team approach making you feel comfortable while knowing you have someone wanting the best for you. I, also, see Joshua Green for acupuncture and he is the best around! As someone who was scared of needles, I genuinely look forward to when I can come again to acupuncture. He is extremely knowledgeable, talented, and I know I am in good, safe hands.I recommend them to everyone and encourage everyone to give them a shot.“

“Michelle is the best in giving massages. She truly has healing hands and is intuitive to the needs of her client. She truly cares about the outcome of their experience.“

“Hanz has helped me with a soy allergy. Stem cells in my back 3years ago and I healed now. And just recently I had a really painful stomach problem that Hans gave me Chinese herbs for that made a month long condition go away in a week. So thank you, Hanz.“

“I'm feeling so much better, thanks to Bob Doane and his associates. The team there is amazing. Bob is more of an herbalist, even though I have heard he will do some accupuncture, I've yet to have him do mine, he's usually on calls and with patients.
The man is a genius, he's of an older generation, not really old to me being 51, but he reminds me of my grandfather who passed 14 years ago at 84, but he reminds me of my grandfather when he was in his 70's. He's got gentle hands, and he uses them to sense your pulse in both wrists, something NO western medicine folks do.
If you have trauma, like broken bones or need anti-biotics for a flu, by all means, go see a traditional western doctor, but if you are looking to heal yourself from within, to be healthy long term, and get off all those pharmacuticals that western med pushes, you want to see Bob Doane.
I'll say this about price, you get what you pay for. Accupuncture should not be cheap. If your insurance covers you for a once a month visit, then you will want to find another place maybe. But see them first, I don't know all the ins and outs of your insurance.

It should be noticed, they practice indirect accupuncture, if you have a headache they might put a needle in the heal of your foot or for example my left knee was bothering me and so she put needles in my elbows.
My first experience with Accupuncture 30 years ago was like this, I had them from head to toe, but mainly my shins because my issue was related to my liver and digestive track. I also learned from that Chinese Medicine doctor that I needed to eat red meat and had to stop being a vegetarian. Which was difficult for a moment as I had been practicing vegetarian for almost 5 years, but he was right and I got better.
My issues today are autoimmune related and menopausal. My mother had Lupus and died very young because of it. I do not want to die young since I had my son at an older age, I need to live longer in order to see him grow up. I plan on taking herbs from AWC for the rest of my life!
When I first started seeing Bob, the list of ailments was SO LONG... Redness in my face and arms, really bad acne on my face, unable to sleep through the night, constant cravings for sweets and high carb- high sugar foods... aches and pains and migraines treated with NSAIDS... along with nightsweats, feeling hot ALL the time or unable to warm myself at times... just body temps all over the place... bloating and swelling of my waste, fingers, joints etc...
I have only been going for a few months now and I can honestly say I feel much improved, I'm able to exercise, I don't have the cravings for sweets at night, I sleep through the night, if I do get up to P, I fall right back to sleep! I have energy througout the day and although I still need to lose weight, I feel like it is finally possible! And my skin is clear and although I have some redness from broken capilaries, I am not constantly red... I mean, folks used to say I looked flush all the time, I don't need to wear cover up anymore on my face!
I do not have the bloating I used to have either and I use the bathroom regularly... I still have some issues of course but one day at a time.
OH! I almost forgot, Bob does push for an almost "Paleo" diet, meat and green veggies... if you're not trying to lose weight, then he will suggest it, but doesn't "PUSH" it... my husband increased his meat eating and changed a few things, but mostly still eats the same, as we have been a meat and potatoes family for quite some time. I do need to start being more strict with my diet, and will... Right now though I am just happy to be feeling a lot better and feeling hopeful for a healthier me.“
