I recently relocated back to the PNW and was looking for an acupuncturist to help address both acute and chronic shoulder pain. I am so grateful that I found Dr. Patricia Seki. Dr. Seki is an exceptional practitioner and holistic healer. Mere words cannot fully express how comprehensive her approach has been in supporting me—not only with my physical ailments, but also through a major life transition that included a big move and new employment, both of which brought their own share of stress. With Dr. Seki's care, I experienced major improvements in my shoulder pain, digestion and big toe immobility, areas where other acupuncturists had been unsuccessful. Dr. Seki is also a strong proponent of scar therapy, a treatment I had never encountered before. She has helped address adhesions associated with numerous injury and surgical scars, with incredible results. Dr. Seki’s breadth of knowledge and expertise allows her to draw from a diverse range of therapeutic approaches, creating truly individualized care. I highly recommend booking an appointment with her—you’ll be so glad you did!

I have seen Elysha for over a year now and she has been wonderful. She’s helped to manage a number of symptoms and is always adjusting treatment as needed when different things pop up. She’s also given me great recommendations for specialists which is super helpful. I highly recommend Elysha!

My wife has been getting acupuncture from Elysha Zamora during a very difficult time of Long Covid and ME/CFS. In the early days Acupuncture was the only thing we had at our disposal that helped relieve symptoms. But Elysha quickly became an amazing resource for us to brainstorm other treatment options, and help us make sense of symptom flairs and test results. After being largely dismissed by specialists across many fields, we continue to come back to Elysha after 18 months. We love that Elysha reads up on recent medical journals, so she knows exactly where acupuncture fits in and when there may be other options to consider. I started seeing Elysha myself this year. She helped me navigate a period of intense knee pain through acupuncture and some light PT exercises, while encouraging me to see a doctor for imaging to ensure nothing was structurally wrong. She even recommended a physical therapist for long-term management, which has been extremely helpful for me. I didn’t know what to expect from Acupuncture when we first saw Elysha, but I feel she has set a very high bar for what an acupuncturist should be capable of. Oh - and the front of house is very friendly. And the facility is clean and welcoming.

I can’t recommend this acupuncture practice highly enough! From the moment I walked in, Sabrina made me feel welcomed and cared for. The office is peaceful, clean, and creates an immediate sense of relaxation. Dr. Seki took the time to truly listen to my concerns, explain the treatment process, and develop a personalized plan for my needs. The treatments have helped reduce my pain, lower my stress levels, and leave me feeling more balanced and energized. Dr. Seki’s genuine compassion, professionalism, and expertise is unmatched. Every visit is a calming, healing experience, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. If you’re considering acupuncture, whether for pain relief, stress management, or overall wellness, this is the place to go. I’m incredibly grateful for the exceptional care I’ve received and look forward to every appointment!

Dr. Seki is truly amazing! She has taught me so much throughout my time with her and I would highly recommend coming to see her.

Working with Patricia Seki has had a profoundly positive impact on my life. I decided to “just try it (acupuncture) out” about 9 months ago and if you are in the same boat I can’t encourage you enough to give it a shot - or a poke!

Acupuncture reminds you how amazing the mind, body, and soul are; they work in tandem which in today’s busy world, we often forget and neglect. Dr. Seki has been a healer, mentor, and friend in many ways - reminding me constantly of the attention my body needs and that I am in control of it all. I’ve already raved to all my friends and friends - please, please give acupuncture (perhaps with Dr. Seki) a try if you’ve ever questioned it!!

I had the best experience at Ballard Acupuncture Center. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. My acupuncturist, Avigail, is top notch; she incorporated supplements and Chinese herbs to my program, and I felt so well taken care of. This has been my first experience with acupuncture and I would highly recommend!

Dr. Seki is a warm, thoughtful person who did a comprehensive assessment of my condition (vertigo), and more importantly was able to give me some relief! Very appreciated!

Have been seeing Dr Seki for a little over 3 months and so many misalignment in my body are in the process of realignment, including digestion and body pain. The clinic is friendly and flexible and the holistic focus with herbs and high quality supplements has been life changing.

My husband I are both going to Ballard Acupuncture Center and we are seeing miraculous improvements in our pain and inflammation levels. I just had major surgery and the difference in my recovery using acupuncture has been stunning. Hubs is also reporting stunning improvements just hours after a treatment. We feel very lucky to have Ballard Acupuncture as part of our health care team.

Since May of 2022 I have had horrific pain in my neck due to severe arthritis. After several months of dealing with this pain I thought I would try acupuncture. I was desperate because nothing else seemed to work. So far, I have had five sessions and now I have been pain free for nine days in a row. I am so grateful and relieved. When I walked in the door for the first time I was so taken away by the atmosphere and customer service. The facility is so beautiful and inviting. Not only has Abby helped me with the pain but has also given me great advice about overall diet and health issues. She is a pro! I highly recommend the Ballard Acupuncture Center. Laurel Haas

Highly recommend Avigail. Couldn't believe how quickly my symptoms subsided after just a few sessions.

Robin Schiesser has been a blessing in my life. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and intuitive. She’s been my acupuncturist for well over a decade and provided relief, comfort, and peace through her presence and practice. You’ll be in great hands trusting Robin with your health and well being.
