Siri is a well educated, compassionate practitioner. My initial visit with her was extremely profound. A couple of months ago I was experiencing common cold and congested sinus symptoms; I did not want to take Rx drugs, so I made an appointment w/ Siri; Immediately after my first treatment I can say I was able to breathe better and focus more, and after two treatments and an herbal formula my symptoms were gone.

Essential Acupuncture is aptly named. I can't imagine feeling fully healthy and vibrant without the treatments I've received there. My experiences have ranged the gamut from a "psychological" treatment plan (feeling creatively and energetically blocked) to the alleviation of physical pain due to chronic / old injuries. I would shout the praises of Siri Michel specifically but it's not really a shout-y type place.

I have been going to Essential Acupuncture weekly for about six weeks and each time I arrive I feel at ease with the inviting and peaceful atmosphere; personable, professional and organized staff; and an acupuncturist who is a compassionate listener and skilled practitioner. So grateful to have found them and highly recommend them!

A tranquil oasis from my busy life. Acupuncture
has brought my chronic foot pain from a 5 to a 2!!!
Also, I’m earning how to relax and work on other areas of my poor tired body.
This studio is about so much more than the “procedure”, and I am so grateful to have found them.
Convenient Bucktown location with plenty of parking.

I have been seeing Leigh at Essential Acupuncture for nearly 6 months and it has been tremendously helpful in many aspects of my life. I had never had acupuncture before, and didn't think I'd stick with it for so long, but I was pleasantly surprised at how deeply therapeutic the practice is. Leigh is gentle, kind, and patient. She is an amazing listener, and has helped change the way I view my own stressors and anxieties. She has a very soothing presence. She is experienced, and very, very good at what she does! The location itself is conveniently located, clean, calming, and warming. There is
