What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

When searching for an acupuncturist and herbalist, one size does not fit all, unless you are fortunate enough to have Rachel Burack as your practitioner. Rachel is a licensed and experienced acupuncturist with expertise in pain management and holistic health. She has a unique approach to treatment, integrating acupuncture with herbal remedies and massage therapy to address the root cause of various conditions. Soon after meeting Rachel it is clear that her profession is her passion and her thirst for new knowledge is never ending. She immediately focuses on the needs of her client, listens attentively and creates an individualized personal plan of action, clearly laying out her assessment.

Rachel understands our bodies are amazing machines that innately want to address our needs but sometimes need a tune up or jump start when it comes to pain management, stress reduction and overall well being. The opportunity to promote healing non-invasively or in tandem with necessary medications is priceless.

Sometimes the spirit is willing but the body doesn’t choose to cooperate without help.

The issues I have needed to tame, osteoarthritis, digestion issues, thyroid issues, stenosis, and stress have been woven into Rachel’s plan for me with great success. Halting the progression, allowing the body to take command again by stimulating the body’s ability to release natural pain relievers is not to be taken lightly.

Above all Rachel radiates warmth, compassion, and a feeling of trust. She is someone who makes her clients feel they have known her forever. Rachel reminds me often she is as vulnerable and human as I am. Sometimes I need to know my issues are not all that unique and there is someone near to help me with my challenges.
