“Akasia is both a wonderful acupuncturist and an amazing person. Working with her has been such a joy and a great introduction to acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Akasia is incredibly kind, skilled, and intuitive. She made me feel so at ease and was able to assist me with many things that I would not have even thought to bring up! Her presence is so calming, and her technique is truly wonderful! I am so lucky to have had this opportunity to work with Akasia and I cannot recommend her enough!”

I have seen a number of acupuncturists and Akasia is the very best.  Akasia possesses a calmness and soothing demeanor that immediately put me at ease.  She is an "old soul" who radiates empathy and compassion.  Akasia is patient and kind, asks thoughtful questions, listens attentively, and tailors her treatments to her patients’ individual needs. It is immediately apparent that Akasia is that rare doctor that is genuinely invested in her patients' well being.  Her treatments were an immense help in alleviating my back pain and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

“Akasia introduced me to the world of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine and I will be grateful to her forever. The effects on my healing journey have been some of the most powerful I have experienced. Acupuncture has helped me deal with years of internalized stress and anxiety and make me feel stronger in dealing with the lasting effects of negative relationships on my health. She is a wonderful healer and teacher and is always so supportive and positive. She always has my highest recommendation!”

“I sought treatment from Akasia at Wellness in Motion due to persistent low back pain. Throughout my life, I've consulted various healthcare practitioners, including chiropractors and physical therapists, for a range of issues. However, my experience with Akasia stood out profoundly.

What struck me most was Akasia's exceptional level of care and empathy. From the very beginning, it was evident that I wasn't just another patient to her. She took the time to delve deeply into my condition, asking probing questions and, most importantly, listening attentively to my concerns. In her, I found not only an acupuncture specialist but also a genuinely compassionate healthcare provider. One of Akasia's most commendable traits is her humility. When faced with a situation where she lacks complete knowledge, she readily acknowledges it. Rather than resorting to generic, one-size-fits-all treatment plans, she goes the extra mile. Akasia meticulously delves into the latest research and literature to craft personalized, evidence-based treatment plans for her patients.

 Her expertise in the field of acupuncture is undeniable, and she consistently demonstrates a commitment to going above and beyond to facilitate her patients' healing journey. In my opinion, these qualities make Akasia one of the most exceptional healthcare providers I've ever had the privilege of meeting.”

“I approached Akasia with 2 things. A desire to be treated through acupuncture, and a phobia of needles! While I imagine many health care professionals would lose their patience with such a patient,  Akasia addressed my case with care and adaptability. She was equally interested as myself in creating a healing plan using as few needles as possible. Akasia proposed techniques and shared knowledge with me that supplemented my acupuncture treatment. Within a few months, Akasia's focus and dedication to my health led me back to living without the sharp or achy pains that I once struggled with. Ultimately, I know Akasia to be an attentive, brilliant, and creative health care professional who throughout our time together, taught me to be patient and relax, because she has everything under control!”

“I started meeting with Akasia as part of my ACL and MCL rehab after tearing both and having ACL surgery. I was challenged with some pieces around my back holding in likely lots of emotion and feeling a bit stuck. The sessions left me feeling rested, calm and were definitely significant in my recovery process towards graduating from rehabilitative care. Akasia's approach is warm, kind, thorough and incredibly thoughtful. I would highly recommend her.”

“Saw Akasia Nelson for acupuncture and had a wonderful experience! Akasia is caring and very knowledgeable- she was able to bridge eastern and western medicine to answer my questions. I highly recommend Akasia for your acupuncture needs.”
