I practice Worsley Five-Element Acupuncturesm which follows the laws of nature to support a person to be more balanced, at ease, and peaceful. I'm dedicated to helping my patients achieve this sense of balance. This tradition of acupuncture recognizes that the entire person must be taken into account to treat the CAUSE of the illness rather than ONLY addressing the symptoms.
I have been practicing for over 20 years and have extensive and direct training in Worsley Five-Element Acupuncturesm. After years of training and committment, I am now a coach in the Master Apprentice Program sm which was started by Dr. J.R. and Judy Worsley. I am truly concerned about your health and welfare.

Feeling the pulses at the wrist is a way of assessing someone's energy or Qi (pronounced "chee"). The pulses are felt several times during the treatment. For the first appointment I schedule 2 hours. The first hour we talk about your concerns and what you want to work on. The second hour will be spent doing the first treatment.
I'm grateful to you for your kind ministering to the whole of me. It's precious to feel heard with such intelligence and caring as you have given. I'm feeling so much stronger and integrated than when I first came to you, and think I now understand the significance of being in balance. Four years ago I was suffering from extreme exhaustion, sleeplessness, irritability and joint aches.

This is way overdue - I was referred to Eric thru my former acupuncturist in Hawaii and I'm forever grateful for the referral. I prefer Five Element acupuncture to Traditional methods and Eric has such a gentle way it is a perfect match of skill and method for me. I've seen Eric since 2014 and he has helped me thru some extremely stressful times; balancing out my energies and keeping my immune system humming along. He listens to what you say and don't say, then listens to your body. I always walk out feeling whole and calm and at ease. Physical depletion or emotional stress can

Since around 2006 I've been a regular patient. Initially Eric began treating me for insomnia, and as a result I began sleeping much more sound. Over the past 4.5 years, Eric has been a key part of my team of practitioners in helping me heal from Lyme-related chronic illness. I believe I am in an overall healthier, more functional state as a result of his skill and care. Eric has a wonderful bedside manner and goes the extra distance to know a patient and what they're dealing with in life. If I could give him another star here I would. Words cannot adequately convey my most sincere gratitude

I was referred to Dr. Hartmann after a friend told me about her experience with 5 Element Acupuncture. This is not your run-of-the-mill acupuncture session! 5 Element is different, less painful, and, in my opinion, a lot more effective than other practices.
I went to Dr. Hartmann after seeing various specialists and traditional doctors for a hormone-related problem. I came to him feeling disheartened; every doctor just wrote me a prescription for a medicine that I knew just made my problem worse. Seeing Dr. Hartmann was like a breath of fresh air - he actually listened to me and took the

I came to see Eric Hartmann by way of glowing recommendations from friends who are patients of his. I was having health issues that were not getting resolved even with excellent care from local hospitals. Eric's treatments seem like an amazing blend of body medicine, mind therapy, and spirit spa, and I leave his office with a sense of balance, calm, well being, and anticipation for new challenges. I like that the treatment doesn't just focus on the complaint you come in with, but works to make you feel healthier in your whole being. It is an hour to focus on what you want to better about

I first started going to Eric several years ago to treat my springtime allergies. After just a few sessions, I felt much better, suffered no symptoms, and I now welcome the bloom of springtime instead of dreading it. I've always preferred natural, homeopathic remedies when appropriate and Eric's holistic approach is based on the sound belief that the mind, body and spirit have the power to heal itself.
He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, caring and thorough; he listens and takes the time to really get to know you. I also appreciate his gentle words of encouragement on how to incorporate

Eric is absolutely gifted. He's knowledgeable and highly skilled, but he also brings great intuition and a special ability to understand the whole picture of what's going on with you. He always listens carefully and has a special way of understanding. He is the acupuncturist I recommend to everyone I know.

I was referred to Eric in Baltimore before moving west. Acupuncture was not something I was willing to give up. I immediately called up when I arrived in Seattle and have continued to go for 8 months now. Could not live without the excellent treatment. I leave feeling refreshed every time. I would highly recommend 5 Element if you are searching for a first or new acupuncture therapist.

I have been seeing Eric for about 3 years now. He is a geat acupuncturist and he does not try to change your lifestyle. I like the 5 element balancing philosophy and how they try to let one's own body heal itself and just help in the healing process. He doesn't prescribe lifestyle changes, either, which I find so refreshing. He will work with my needs, my lifestyle, and my preferences.
One thing about him- his needles hurt. He uses thinner needles than many other acupuncturist that I've been to, but I can still feel them travel up or down the meridian. But, the pain is
