I couldn't be happier with my first visit to Dr. Jaime. She is an incredibly attentive listener and took the time to truly understand my complex health history. Her explanations were clear and easy to follow, and I immediately felt like I was in the hands of someone who genuinely understands the body on a deep level. I have multiple chronic illnesses, and I was so impressed by her careful and considerate approach. I left the appointment feeling hopeful and am genuinely excited to continue working with her.

Jamie works magic on my body.. Her fingers and her tools/instruments get the deepest/hidden issues allowing circulation to flow which then allows my body to move with less pain and more ease overall. I've been seeing Jamie for well over 10 years (referral from a dear friend) and I knew after my 1st visit that I'd be returning to see her any time my body locks up on me. Wonderful person, energy and character. I *LOVE* what Jamie has done for me over the years :)

What can I even say?! Jamie and and Eva (recommended to me by yet *another* amazing acupuncturist) have helped me with both orthopedic and traditional acupuncture over the last few years. I’ve also seen Jamie for several herbal consultations and she’s helped me heal parts of myself I never thought possible. If you know, you know!

I can't say enough about Dr. Jamie Bender. She has improved my life and health continuously for 5 years including curing my sciatica, hip issues and now aging bladder issues. Her skill and kindness are unparalleled. I wouldn't hesitate to follow any advice she gives.

I went to see Erik for a painful case of frozen shoulder after a previous therapist had worsened the injury by forcing it into a rapid stretch. I was in constant discomfort when I arrived, but hopeful, as I had heard only good things. From the start, I was impressed by Erik’s approach — both incredibly gentle and fully consent-based, while also applying the strong, precise pressure needed to reach the right muscles, tendons, and ligaments. He was in constant communication, always working right up to the edge of healthy discomfort but never beyond. Erik also took the time to explain my injury in detail: how frozen shoulder develops, the phases it goes through, and what can be done to speed healing. He increased my mobility noticeably in just one session, gave me exercises I can do at home, and left me feeling hopeful, encouraged, and supported. I booked my follow-up immediately and, for the first time in months, feel confident I’ll get to the other side of this with less pain and full mobility. Highly recommend!
