GoodMedizen was founded in 2008 out of a desire to help people and two guiding principals: always act in the best interest of our patients, and to strive-every moment-to exceed expectations. GoodMedizen has grown into a thriving and highly respected practice in downtown Seattle. Each provider at GoodMedizen is Nationally Board Certified, has a Masters Degree in Acupuncture, and extensive continuing education and experience.
The practitioners at GoodMedizen are all licensed acupuncturists. We firmly believe that acupuncture is the single best tool for helping your body to restore and maintain optimum health. We also recognize that other modalities may be helpful, or in some cases, more appropriate than acupuncture. For this reason we also offer Chinese Herbal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition.
I scheduled an acupuncture appointment for my mother here since she has been having back and neck pain along with headaches that feel connected. To start, the online booking process was pretty smooth and thorough. When my mom returned from her appointment she had nothing but wonderful things to say! Per my mother's descriptions, Courtney was very knowledgeable, kind, professional and thorough.
Helping Patients Thrive: We are guided by the simple principals of placing our patient's needs first and always striving to deliver the best possible results. We invest careful attention to every detail, at each step of the process to provide our patients with a zen inspired oasis of calm and healing.

Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy (PIT) utilizes Traditional Chinese Medicine's meridian system by stimulating acupuncture points with the injection of small amounts of medical and/or botanical substances therefore obtaining a dual effect of acu-point stimulation and the pharmacological effect of the substance injected.It is clinically proven to be more effective than injection into a "random" location.

Courtney makes acupuncture easy and relaxing. We thoroughly talked through my health issues (not just the back pain I was visiting for but also things like whether I get up at night to go to the bathroom) and she had sound advice regarding dietary choices and whether I should see another specialist. I felt warm and cozy during the session and my back pain seemed to melt away. It was a gentle and memorable introduction to acupuncture.

I had such a pleasant experience with Courtney and GoodMedizen acupuncture & herbs. My sister had purchased a package with them, and she had 4 remaining sessions that she wasn’t going to use. She was able to transfer them to me. I was a little nervous about the needles, but Courtney put me at ease. I felt great after my first session and am looking forward to future sessions. Thank you Courtney!

Courtney is the best. I worked with her years ago and she worked miracles for me. Then she started practicing down in Des Moines and that was too far away. But I stumbled on her old business card and found she now has her own practice downtown.
She knows her stuff. She’s helping me work through some carpal tunnel stuff right now. I had relief after just one visit.
If you are looking for a great acupuncturist, look no further.

"Dr. Courtney simply makes my life better. I’ve been a patient for several years now and I’ve never felt better. I’m a hair designer of 35 years and the work she does for my back, neck, feet and my knees is incredible. And she keeps my seasonal allergies under control year round. Amazing! Thank you for making me feel great consistently.”

GoodMedizen is truly a wonderful place to be! I've been receiving acupuncture from Courtney since the end of 2020, and I've looked forward to every visit since then. Courtney is so kind hearted, down to earth and very knowledgeable about her practice. She makes it a great experience. I recommend Goodmedizen to everyone I meet who is interested in Acupuncture! "

I was in a health crisis and decided to try acupuncture. Courtney completely eliminated my arthritis, severe low back pain, poor digestion in a matter of a few months. We've been able to taper down the treatments from twice a week to once a month, and soon I will only need to come seasonally. I sought treatment for severe back pain that didn't allow me to comfortably walk, arthritis in my hands that caused sharp pain and swelling to the point that I could not use my hands and was losing strength in them. And digestion issues (bloating) as I tried to eat a bit healthier (fruit and vegetables). I

With no prior experience with acupuncture, my wife suggested that I give it a try since I had been having some issues where traditional treatments were falling short. From the moment I sat down with Maribel, it was clear I was in good hands.
She took a complete history on my first visit and the treatment was once of the most relaxing experiences. My symptoms have improved noticeably and the added bonus is my acupuncture treatments are a consistent high point each week.
Maribel has a perfect approach. She is thoughtful and balanced. She asks questions, she listens and I feel fully refreshed after

I am thrilled to recommend Penny. She is one of the most highly skilled acupuncturists I have encountered. She is dedicated, compassionate and really looks at the whole person. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to try acupuncture for the first time or someone who has experienced its benefits in the past!
