Testimonials

Acupuncture was recommended as a means to help cope with emotional distress and depression I was experiencing due to several back to back life events. I was initially skeptical, but was willing to try it in an attempt to improve.

After researching various practices, I contacted Elizabeth Bouchard. Her office was very inviting and the initial interview was very thorough. She outlined a plan of treatment (which included acupuncture and herbs) and gladly answered all of my questions. I must say, I began noticing a difference after the first treatment. By the end of the course, I felt significantly better not only emotionally, but physically.

Given my personal experience, I would highly recommend Elizabeth Bouchard for effective treatment.

After a recent surgery, I suffered from significant pain associated with surgical complication. My physician offered me additional surgery to solve that problem. I decided to try acupuncture as an alternative for pain control. The results were astonishing. I am now completely pain free and have avoided additional major surgery. I highly recommend Elisabeth to anyone who seeks pain control.

I am a 52 years old UPS driver with 3 herniated lumbar disc. I use acupuncture and chiropractic care to keep me working and pain free about 95% of the time. Of the four acupuncturist I have seen over a 19 year period, Elisabeth is the best. One treatment from Elisabeth does more for me than several treatments from the other three. If you would like to talk more to me about this almost painless treatment, please give Elisabeth your phone number and I will call you.

I decided to see an acupuncturist due to pain I was experiencing in several areas of my body. Elisabeth took an holistic approach to helping me heal. Along with acupuncture, she provided me with herbs and made dietary recommendations to support my needs at that time. My pain has greatly decreased thanks to her amazing treatments. I will continue to see Elisabeth for routine maintenance.

I first went to Elisabeth to help with infertility issues more than 6 years ago. Along with helping support my fertility treatments and their uncomfortable side-effects, she also continued to treat me once I did (successfully) become pregnant! She is very skilled, knowledgeable and kind; she also works with your schedule as well. I still continue to see her for continued balance and self-care. I have a great interest in eastern medicine modalities and, I have traveled and studied extensively in China and other Asian countries. I highly recommend Elisabeth if you want sound, capable advice on how to live a full and balanced lifestyle!! We are very lucky to have such an experienced and well-trained practitioner here in El Paso.

Ms. Bouchard has dramatically helped me with my lower back pain, and migraines, so that I was able to get back to my normal lifestyle. I had no idea of how acupuncture works, but Ms. Bouchard very patiently explained the process, and answered any questions I had. She is very professional, patient, and compassionate, to the point where she makes you feel better just talking to her. The practice (office) is very clean, organized, and VERY comfortable.

I began going to Elisabeth Bouchard 6 months ago to treat a complex combination of physical and emotional problems stemming from a severe accident. My issues include low back pain from a fractured vertebra, sacro-iliac arthritis, lumbar disk disease, problems sleeping, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Certainly a lot of problems! I had already been to numerous medical doctors who were unable to get my situation under control. Within several visits to Elisabeth, I started seeing improvement in my overall musculoskeletal condition, improved sleep, and a remarkable decrease in episodes of PTSD. Elisabeth, unlike many acupuncturists, is able skillfully to treat both physical and mental health conditions, and she understands the important connections between the two. Now that I am feeling less pain and emotional distress, I continue to see her periodically to maintain my improved level of wellness. Her office is very warm and welcoming, she is a consummate professional, she is a kind and caring person, and I always leave her office feeling better. I am a health care professional myself, and I highly recommend her.

I have been a client for several years and am a firm believer in the health and pain management benefits of acupuncture. Elisabeth is very knowledgeable and efficient in her interview process and in application of my treatments. I am always surprised how she translates my complaints of aches and pains into a specific needling procedure for each complaint. She also uses her needles to balance my "Chi" during each visit. This is like a reset of your nervous system. I experience it as a refreshed mindset which lowers overall stress which lowers the level of my personal "angst" of everyday living. She is very dependable and keeps her appointments on time, always. I highly recommend her services.

I must give my highest recommendation to Elizabeth Bouchard. I have been seeing her off and on for various pain management issues for almost 10 years (arthritis, nerve entrapment, and sometimes sinuses). Elizabeth not only helped me manage back, hip and shoulder pain, she has KEPT ME FROM NEEDING FOOT SURGERY for my Morton's neuroma. Please excuse the capital letter shouting but I went to three podiatrists and all that was left after failed traditional treatment was surgery. I should have started with Elizabeth :) Elizabeth is a lovely, calming person and extremely patient centered. Your visit will begin with her asking you about your overall health. If anything new has popped up since your last treatment, she will treat the new issue as well. The treatment facility is a beautiful old house in a historic district and the setting is peaceful and soothing.

An excellent acupuncturist and herbalist. Elisabeth Bouchard, with her extensive knowledge and experience, has successfully treated me for various issues. She is thorough and detailed and is a good listener to help determine the course of treatment. I highly recommend her practice for any of your needs!

Absolutely love this office and acupuncturist. She is patient-centered with EVERY visit whether it is for infertility, neck pain, or sinus pain. I can happily say she is one of the reasons my IVF was successful. Thank you Bouchard Wellness!!!

The first thing that strikes you as you enter Bouchard Wellness is a sense of calm, an oasis from the hectic world we live in. As I entered with excruciating back pain, I noticed the soft light and music, the very Zen energy that permeates the clinic, the beautiful wooden floors and the understated decor. Just this alone told me that Ms. Bouchard takes her work and her mission seriously. Ms. Bouchard greeted me and we discussed my reasons for being there. I felt I could open up to her and I explained my ongoing issues with anxiety and lower back pain. She listened carefully and compassionately and then we went to work! I felt she took my issues seriously and I felt heard and seen. I did not know what to expect, but she explained the procedures clearly as she went around my body putting the needles in. The minute the needles were placed on my body, I felt a surge of peace, calm, and ease. It's hard to explain in words, but my body and my soul felt so good! After the needles were placed in my body, she checked on me very discreetly from time to time to monitor my progress, but I was so in the zone, I could barely respond. That's how relaxed I was. After the treatment was done, I felt so good I could barely remember the reason I was there in the first place! I left feeling immensely relieved and empowered. The back pain was diminished and it disappeared totally in the next days after the treatment. In my visits since, I have met many of my colleagues there at her clinic. They also reported the same sense of calm and relief from their differing ailments. I continue to go to Ms. Bouchard's clinic and each time, I find a smiling woman who genuinely cares about my well-being. I have thrown my back out a few times and I now know to skip the pills and the injections of traditional medicine: they work, but I didn't like the invasion and the side-effects. Ms. Bouchard has so taken care of my back pains and stress, that I go now only for occasional touch ups: that is how good she is. I have tried other acupuncturists only to learn that they were not licensed and I left feeling hassled for money and promises for many future treatments. Don't even get me started on how filthy their treatment rooms were! You don't get that with Bouchard Wellness. What you do get is great service, a clean environment, a no nonsense approach and useful tips on how to lead a better, more holistic life. The needles were only part of the treatment. She also gently suggested a better diet and positive thinking that have all helped me be a better me. In other words: book your appointment today. You won't regret it and trust me when I tell you that you will leave feeling deliciously better. Leave a few minutes after the treatment to come back to reality. Love this clinic, love this woman, I recommend her over and over and over! She also speaks beautiful Spanish!

I was referred to her by my doctor when I started IVF. I've been seeing her the last 4 years. She helped me through all my IVF cycles and pregnancies. She has a wonderful bedside manner and calm demeanor. You instantly feel relaxed. Every visit she takes time with you to discuss your current health and any issues you may be having. You never feel rushed. She will even give you tips of things you can do on your own in between visits to help with your condition. She takes a very conservative approach which I appreciate. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I found my Acupuncturist, Elisabeth Bouchard, to be the best ever. Having injured my back and suffering with off and on sciatic pain for several years and having all kind of treatments and opinions, I had finally given up and accepted the fact that I would suffer with pain the rest of my life. But in discussing my lack of options to a friend of mine one day at lunch, she suggested I try Acupuncture and knew exactly who I should go to, Elisabeth Bouchard, her Acupuncturist which I did the following week. I found her to be a good listener, professional, highly qualified and very informative. And now for the first time in years, no more sciatic pain! My quality of life has dramatically improved. Thank you Elisabeth Bouchard! Highly recommended!!!

Excellent! I would highly recommend Bouchard Wellness to anyone experiencing pain. I have been a client for over a year and will continue to return when I experience pain. The services I have received are cupping, acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Cupping is fantastic!

Ms . Bouchard foster an environment of peace, healing and tranquility that uplifts the spirit. She has assisted me in centering my soul, focusing my energy and achieving inner peace. She is an asset to our community and I consider myself blessed to have found her along my life journey. Thank you Ms. Bouchard for all you do.

She's simply the Best!! She has been my acupuncturist for about 2.5 years now. Very kind and understanding.

My husband and I have both used Bouchard Wellness. We are both happy with the services provided. Elisabeth is very knowledgeable and effective.
