Does Acupuncture hurt? No! While the level of sensation varies from client to client, condition to condition, it's more unusual than painful. Acupuncture is a holistic, practical approach to wellness and healing. In addition to treating the surface symptoms, it encourages us to inquire further and root out the underlying causes of disease and dysfunction.
Also. It just feels awesome. I have done a lot of fieldwork to figure out how to achieve balance. Clients view me as a collaborator and co-conspirator, here to help you get the most out of your life. Acupuncture is thousands of years old and used across the world. It developed out of thousands of years of pragmatic study, and it has survived and flourished because it works.

I cannot stress this enough - Grant is amazing.
I've been seeing someone in NY for the past two months and was nervous about needing to find someone in the NOLA area to help me manage my pain. Let me tell you the relief I felt after this session. Really from the moment I walked in. Grant was extremely thorough, patient, and considerate with their work. Grant's space is beautiful and calming, and Grant immediately made me feel heard and comfortable from the moment Grant greeted me at the door. It was all around such a wonderful experience, that left me feeling better, relaxed, and centered

I have been a massage therapist and shiatsu practitioner for decades. I have had many Accupuncture treatments over the years and Grant is one of the most talented I've ever experienced. He takes the time to listen to your needs and issues and treats accordingly. I booked 8 sessions with him and only have had 2 so far, but just WOW! I have felt my whole energy shift. Pain diminish and just a feeling of whole energetic wellness. I would recommend to anyone in need these days. Which in my opinion after the last 2 years, we all need it!
Thank you Grant!
Thank you Grant!

Grant is the best ! My first experience with acupuncture and I am sold!! He was so warm and inviting and took time to really explain the theory and experience with me before the session started. I felt like a happy little tuning fork by the end and had a much more intense experience than I could have imagined. Definitely highly recommend!

Grant is a beautiful human being and an incredibly talented practitioner. I had never experienced acupuncture before going to him and he was so kind, attentive and intuitive. I felt like a new person after just the first treatment. Acupuncture is now a must for me– if I could go every single day, I would. It is amazing! And he is the best.

Grant is a total expert in acupuncture whom I highly recommend. He is gifted at what he does and has helped me immensely with constant back, shoulder and neck pain. My visits to him are always peaceful and relaxing. I had a few different friends recommend him and I'm so grateful to have listened to them!

I want to start by saying that I am very picky about who I go to for acupuncture. I've been to the best of the best in Los Angeles - 2 different acupuncturists at different times in my life, who are the most highly regarded in LA. That said, when I was looking for someone comparable in NOLA I sought out Grant and I was not disappointed. The great thing about Grant is that not only is he loving, caring and just so nice, he is also extremely skilled at where to put the needles. With acupuncture, if the needles are just off a little bit you won't feel much different after the treatment

I'll start this review by stating that I've never tried acupuncture or cupping. So with no prior knowledge (other than what I could find on google) and a very knotted upper back I scheduled my first visit with Grant. He made me feel very comfortable and began our first appointment with a discussion. He was very attentive and talked me through exactly what the treatment would consist of and provided his expert opinion on what issues I could be experiencing. Next we went on to the acupuncture.... and WOW! Just wow! It was great! I continued to see Grant for 3 other weekly treatments during

I ruptured a disc in my low back two years ago and after intense rehab, I rarely experience pain anymore. Every now and then, though, I'll experience intense back spasms again. Today was one of those times. I'd flown in from San Francisco for a wedding - on Spirit Airlines, 'nough said - and I woke up this morning in extreme pain and unable to stand upright. It looked like I was going to have to take muscle relaxers and miss the entire wedding I flew 3,000 to get to because I couldn't stand.
I called Grant and told my situation to his voicemail. By the blessing of ALL of the

I started seeing Grant to be treated for a back injury sustained while working out. I'd never tried acupuncture to treat this sort of issue. I was really surprised by how quickly I started to feel better. Even more, I was so relaxed and enjoyed the treatment much more than I anticipated--as a novice the idea of needles kinda scared me. I love it now and am making it part of my wellness routine. Grant was wonderful. He was very gentle and explained everything he was doing. I felt very comfortable with him. Highly recommend.

Grant is a great practitioner -- he is accommodating, really knowledgeable about acupuncture and TCM, and has made me feel really comfortable in the context of the treatment. He is in touch with your experience of the treatment and works sensitively with you to shape his interventions. I've recommended him to several friends as well, and they've all been happy with their experience also!

I've been seeing Grant for NAET acupuncture treatments and so far they have been effective. I'm about a third of the way through the treatments - I'll post an update all about the successes/curiosities of NAET when I'm done. I recommend NAET to anyone with environmental or food sensitivities who is seeking a natural, and non-invasive method of allergy elimination. If you're new to NAET, Grant has a way of explaining the procedure in a very rational, practical way. NAET won't heal you overnight - it takes patience and dedication, but I am so excited to continue this

I've been seeing Grant for about 2 years now, he is definitely a hidden gem of Portland. His studio is cozy & quiet, and I've never had an issue finding parking in that general area. He's also a heck of a guy.
Grant constantly amazes me with his wealth of knowledge in regard to traditional Chinese medicine. I always consult him first! We've just started NAET, which I am really looking forward to.
I always leave Grant feeling so much better.

I went to Grant because I broke my shoulder a couple years ago and have had really bad muscle spasms in my neck ever since. People kept encouraging me to try acupuncture, and so in spite of my nerves and skepticism, I finally made an appointment.
Grant was very approachable and put me at ease almost immediately. He was totally straight-up - no talking about Yin and Yang or Xi or any of this loo-la kind of business. At the same time, he was friendly and very knowledgeable-seeming. He listened closely to my description of the pain and asked some questions to get a better sense of the problem and
