Whether the source of illness is physical, emotional, or spiritual, Chinese medical treatment can bring about the healing of not only your primary complaint but the many minor discomforts that may have accompanied it. Acupuncture works very well with Western biomedical protocols, and Elijah Hawken has considerable experience working alongside Medical Doctors, Registered Nurses, and Licensed Counselors in several different clinical settings.
Chinese medicine can accelerate recovery from surgery, strengthen the immune system, and alleviate many of the unwanted side-effects of conventional treatment of major illnesses such as cancer. Acupuncture treatments are cumulative - each treatment builds on the previous one to restore you to health.

People in debilitating pain regain their quality of life, and get back to doing the activities they enjoy, while reducing or eliminating their need for pain relieving medications. Musicians, unable to play due to repetitive stress injury, get back to doing what they love - pain free. Injured athletes regain their physical health so that they can return to their sport of choice, play hard and win.
Are you suffering from a musculoskeletal or sports injury? Do you feel like you have to "push through" your workouts? Are you concerned with being able to perform at your best - whether it is setting a PR, helping your team to win, or simply achieving the level of comfortable activity that allows your mind to stay serene?
Drummers and other musicians face a specialized set of physical challenges. Years of fine finger and wrist movement can set you up for repetitive stress injuries of the arm, and postural issues which can cause pain and numbness. These can become severe enough to compromise your ability to play, in turn impacting both your livelihood and your emotional well-being.
Whether you are having numbness, tingling, or pain stemming from an unidentified source, or from a previously diagnosed problem like a bulging disc or a pinched nerve, acupuncture can be an extremely effective treatment. A patient came to me because the whole side of her body was numb, and the area of numbness had been progressively getting larger.
The unique nature of women's bodies, continually changing throughout the course of a month and the large shifts during adolescence or leading up to menopause, makes us especially susceptible to imbalances, which can cause unwanted symptoms.
Whether it is unwanted premenstrual symptoms such as irritability, bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, low back pain, or painful and irregular periods, acupuncture is wonderful for smoothing out the bumps in the road, letting you have continuous comfort all month long.Many women are surprised to hear that in the field of Chinese Medicine, we don't consider a painful and crampy period normal, or acceptable!

I do not have words to express the high regard with which I hold Elijah! Over the years, with her recommended diet changes, acupuncture and herbs, she has helped me through chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, chronic inflammation and brain fog, pain management and loving TLC after cancer surgery, depression, and insomnia... I always feel respected, heard and cared for by her, something I have not always felt in the traditional medical community. She has been a godsend.

I highly recommend Hawken Acupuncture.
I was a patient of Dr. Hawken for multiple treatments eight years apart, both times for very serious physical trauma.
I am certain that the treatments removed months of recovery time.
My continued ability to skate long miles at 67 is due, in part, to her treatments.

Elijah has dedicated herself to helping people address pain, imbalance, and disharmony so that they can live better lives. My introduction to her was through her amazing acupuncture practice, and I have since become a life coaching client as well. Elijah listens. She spends time. She treats the whole person - body, mind and spirit. I went to her for physical pain, but through her coaching program, we have delved into the deeper, more profound level of healing I really needed. Almost every aspect of my life has changed for the better. I can't recommend her enough!

I've been going to Elijah for over 12 years for various things. She goes above and beyond by listening and taking detailed notes to identify the root of the problem. She makes you instantly feel comfortable and you can tell that she really has your best interests at heart. It's a great feeling when you leave knowing Elijah truly cares about you and your health.

I began seeing Elijah for migraine headaches. Her treatments have significantly reduced the frequency and severity of my headaches, from 3-4 per week to 1-2 per month. And and often when I do get a headache these days, it's because I've been neglecting my self-care, which Elijah has helped me to learn to take seriously.
Acupuncture has also been highly effective for me in treating sports injuries, GI issues, and for enhancing my overall well being. I feel more energetic, focused, and relaxed.
I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I can not recommend Hawken Accupuncture enough. I went in during my pregnancy with severe back pain due to the weight I was carrying in front. I was in constant pain for weeks. I left her office with zero pain. Zero. Seriously an amazing practitioner. She takes her time and I felt listened to and heard. I would recommend her highly.
