Five Element Acupuncture

Couldn’t even get a call back to set an appointment. Either they are just too busy or not that interested. Moving on.

I’ve been going to Tessler’s Dupont location for the past six months, and I highly recommend her. This was my first acupuncture experience and I have been happily surprised at how much better I feel, like my baseline level of calm has increased while my every day stress levels decreased.
From seeing acupuncture on TV, I was expecting to have like 50 pins put in my back and then left to sleep. A typical experience is maybe 8 – 10 different pins, some in and out points, some that are left to sit for awhile. Tessler is great to talk to and she stays with her clients the whole session. Each treatment is tailored to what I’m dealing with that week, so each time it’s a little different. She doesn’t like to leave her clients in that zombie, groggy feeling (I always feel this way after massages), and I appreciate that I always leave feeling more relaxed but I can still do things after treatment.
Tessler’s Dupont location is super convenient to my office and she has evening and Saturday hours. She only sees one patient at a time, and the office is small but cozy. Best of all, she takes insurance. If you are thinking about trying out acupuncture and want a very personalized approach, Tessler is awesome.

Tessler is an excellent acupuncturist, highly skilled, experienced, and above all genuinely caring to her patients. She practices five element acupuncture, a much more traditional style of healing than most modern styles, with emphasis on holistic and complete healing. Tessler’s treatments have really helped me to develop greater insight into my spiritual and emotional aspects of health, leading to improved physical health and self-​awareness. More than anything what makes Tessler a great healer, in my opinion, is her genuine care and concern for her patient (in this case me). From her meticulous needling to her astute attention, she really gives each treatment her all. I enjoy our conversations and her patient explanations of her treatments. I highly recommend her!

I started seeing Tessler, because my massage therapist urged me to try, despite my pretty strong fear of needles. Nothing has helped me so much recover from chronic back-​pain as her acupuncture treatments. Tessler is patient, knowledgable, and treats you in a very personal way.

I have been working with this clinician for one year in this round of treatments. She had also treated me in 2006. Tessler’s knowledge, experience, and ability to heal with Five Element Acupuncture is profound and significant. I initially restarted treatment for relief from symptoms of acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In less than a year, she has also helped me with depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, and knee/​shoulder pain. I am truly inspired by her dedication to her clients and commitment to the art and science of Five Element Acupuncture.
