Testimonials
I first visited David on the recommendation of another patient. I did not have a specific ailment to be treated, but wanted to increase my overall sense of well-being. My sessions with David have enabled me to have more energy throughout the day, and his guidance has helped me establish a better balance in my work and personal life.

The Five Element Acupuncture that David Tucker provided was encouraging and life affirming. David’s treatment was a key ingredient in my being able to stop taking antidepressants. As a person David presents with grace, charm, sincerity and a dash of humor making each session a peaceful and vibrant occasion. As a practitioner David provides care with the pure intention of one truly enamored by what Five Element Acupuncture has to offer each of us. Since beginning Five Element treatment my life has continued to unfold and flow in positive ways.

David has completely transformed my life. I have had ulcerative colitis since I was fifteen and been to many different doctors and tried many different medicines. Through David’s patience, encouraging words and lighthearted demeanor and using Five Element acupuncture as a conduit, I have reclaimed my independence and never felt better about myself and my body. Before I saw David, I didn’t even know how terrible I felt. I had no energy or tools to help myself find what my body needed to heal. David was able to help me see what I needed to work on in order for my body and mind to heal itself. David has given me the tools to have the freedom and energy to do all the things I used to be able to do and more. David also has this magical way of having you come up with your own solutions that you didn’t even know you had inside of you. He has helped me find ways to speak through my heart and calm my mind and gut. I quite often say to David, “You are magic.” He and acupuncture are magic and I acknowledge him as being instrumental in my physical, emotional and spiritual path to healing.

As an active participant in several injury-prone sports, I found myself with a recurring foot injury. My M.D. prescribed a walking cast and an indefinite amount of rest. Frustrated by this, especially with athletic events looming on the horizon, I was pleasantly surprised when David offered to take a look at my foot and see what he could do to get me back in fighting form. For starters, he spent more time examining my foot than every other health care professional I had seen combined. David then recommended a tandem approach of acupuncture and massage. I had never tried acupuncture before, but he patiently explained (and demonstrated) the process, and we set to work on a rather intensive treatment regimen. Three weeks later, I was able to compete. I don’t believe I would have been capable of that level of performance had I just stayed in the walking boot. I credit David’s expertise in helping me to achieve healing above and beyond the limitations of static rest.
Even though I originally sought treatment for a specific injury, David’s approach intrinsically takes life’s other issues into account. He treats the whole person. I’ll continue to experience David’s combination of acupuncture, massage, and meditation in an effort to manage stress and stay healthy. And of course, the next time I wind up in a cast, I know where my first stop will be..

I started to see David a year and a half ago for no particular reason. Or so I thought. At the time I had a lot on my plate, yet it was so empty. I had just made a cross-country move, leaving family and friends behind and was trying to decide whether or not I wanted to pursue a career in acupuncture myself. I wasn’t paying attention to my intuition, nor caring for myself in a supportive way. I felt very scattered mentally and emotionally, as well as physically detached from what was going on.
David’s treatments gave me the support and guidance I needed to be clear and focused on every level. His approach to providing care based on the 5 Element theory resonated with me. I believe that we, as human beings are interrelated and influenced by the 5 Elements of nature. In addition, I was able to successfully quit smoking after 18 years of numerous unsuccessful attempts. I feel as if I have arrived at a state of true health of spirit, mind and body, unlike I have ever experienced before.
David Tucker is an extremely warm and charismatic facilitator of 5 Element Acupuncture and I’m thrilled to be continuing the journey with him.
