Five Element Austin

I have been to countless acupuncturists and have never experienced one who is more efficient than Lindsay. Most acupuncturists treat symptoms, but Lindsay treats the root cause. Besides being enjoyable and genuine, Lindsay’s treatments are successful and worth the time and cost.

Stop reading right now and call Lindsay. Seriously, just do it.
Okay, if you’re still reading, let me go into further detail.
My mom has been an advocate for acupuncture (and some other Eastern practices) for over 15 years and I’ve always referred to it as «voo doo». I had zero faith in any of it. Recently, I’ve been having some health problems that doctors have yet to figure out. So mom finally convinced me to try acupuncture — I figured it couldn’t hurt. Lindsay was my first experience with any type of acupuncture and I have done a complete 180.
Lindsay is a great listener. She really connects with you so that she can tailor the treatment specifically to you. She gives really good advice that goes beyond the session and she’s not a clock watcher. You can tell that she is genuinely sympathetic to whatever ailments you have and wants to help you with them.
I’ve seen a lot of doctors. I’ve spent thousands on tests and such. And my sessions with Lindsay are the *only* thing that make me feel better. It’s like magic. I would go every day if I could.
So go call her right now. You don’t know what you’re missing.

I was referred to Lindsay by a specialist I was seeing for fascia issues and lack of range of motion, primarily in my hips and back. She was at least the 5^th or 6^th person I’d been to trying to get pain relief, a decent nights sleep and some flexibility and movement back in my body. Although I was very skeptical of acupuncture and non-​traditional treatments I was at a loss as to what to do next as MD’s had not been able to help me. Fast forward 8 months and this skeptic is now a firm believer in Lindsay and Five Element acupuncture! Not only am I in a much better place physically, my mental attitude has improved as well. We still address those troublesome areas when I see her but she has has also treated and helped me with seasonal allergies, eczema and overall well being. I can’t speak highly enough of Lindsay and her practice Five Element Austin, I would highly recommend her!

Lindsay is a gifted healer and thanks to her, I am now out of a long cycle of grief and loss. I was recommended to Lindsay by way of a reading with a gifted author, Jean Haner, who does Chinese face reading. She took one look at my long suffering eyes and sent me a link to Lindsay and Five Elements Austin.
What a gift and a transformation this has been for me! After the first session, I felt such joy and hope that I was going to be OK, I felt pulled out of hopelessness into the light. Now as we work together, I continue to feel more clear in my thinking and able to move forward from a previously stuck place to a new career and more enjoyment overall.
I truly appreciate that Lindsay often recommends that I see my medical doctor and respects both eastern and western healing. She believes there is a place for both and that we need them. Lindsay is also very resourceful and takes into consideration your whole life balance and has encouraged me to date again and explore fun things again.
I highly recommend Lindsay for your healing needs as she is an amazing healer and guide on your healing journey.

Lindsay is amazing. For about six months this year I was suffering from painful muscle spasms, anxiety and a variety of other physical and emotional problems. Before finding Lindsay, I had been to a MD and prescribed medication, a chiropractor, a massage therapist and another (non-​Five Element) acupuncturist. None of these methods provided any relief, and my life was getting increasingly miserable. After just five treatments with Lindsay, the pain is gone and I am getting back in balance.
Lindsay is the only acupuncturist in Austin practicing Five Element Acupuncture. This style is much different and much more effective than other types of Acupuncture. It looks at the whole person and gets to the underlying cause of problems rather than just treating the symptoms.
I can’t recommend Lindsay highly enough. I would encourage anyone with any kind of pain to go get a treatment from her right away!

I found my way to Lindsay and her Five Element practice through a recommendation of a friend. This friend was telling me about a recent treatment received and presented Lindsay’s approach to health and realignment as one that actively considers emotional and spiritual well being as part of any remedy applied to physical malaise.
I was in need of Lindsay’s services this past Fall due to extremely irregular menstruation offset by an IUD extraction. The month before seeing her, I had heavily bled for three weeks straight and was feeling very weak for it. I acknowledged that my body was in a reset transition and that in order to responsibly see to that resetting, I would try Five Element acupuncture.
To speak to the physical outcome first, my cycle regulated within 6 weeks. Within that time, I had a initial appointment and then a follow up about four weeks later. Since that second appointment, my period is more regular than it has ever been. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Now, to speak to the less expected results of Lindsay’s treatment is to speak to an opening of sorts in which concepts of authenticity and comfort reign. Relationships are complicated and only made to feel more so if the relationship you hold with yourself isn’t maintained. Lindsay’s work led me to be connected to a sense of self far larger than previously known. She introduced a certain element of peace to my being present within my becoming.
In a world where it can be hard not to feel busy, I couldn’t thank her more for this gift.

Lindsay is awesome. I’m definitely a skeptic about acupuncture, but needed some help with stress management and personal issues. Seeing her has helped me gain perspective and shift priorities in my life, and I feel more calm and empowered than ever in my life. I always leave treatments feeling spiritually and physically energized, and this feeling lasts quite awhile. I look forward to her expanding her hours so that I can go every week – twice a month is great, but more will be even better!

I have been wanting to write a review for Lindsay since my first session… but I waited it out to see how long-​term results played out. I am happy to say that my review of Lindsay has not changed since my first session!
I want to start by saying that before trying acupuncture, I was a sceptic. I was at the point in my life that I knew I needed a greater change, and really wanted to decrease the amount of prescribed drugs I take.
Lindsay is very easy to talk to, which is key, especially in the first session. It was almost therapeutic just talking to her, and really sensing that she cared and understood what I was dealing with. The day of my first session, which was mostly an un-​blocking session, and I noticed results almost immediately! I won’t go into too many details here… but they were positive cleansing results.
I have seen major improvements in my appetite, jaw clenching/​grinding, temper, and energy. I have also see major improvements in my allergies. My allergy medication recently went up to $ 100/​month, so I stopped taking it, and things have been pretty good. (I used to get sinus infections and brochitis at least 2 – 3 times a year.)
Aside from my results and my new-​found obsession for acupuncture, Lindsay is extremely thorough and professional. She knows what she is doing, and is 100% dedicated to making sure you get what you need out of the therapy. Her energy and attentiveness really show how passionate for helping people she is. 4 sessions deep-​I have already recommended Lindsay to dozens of people, and just hope she never leaves Austin!

Lindsay ROCKS. I just finished my third session with her yesterday (three in about six weeks, I want to say), and I can definitely tell a difference from before I started. She’s personable, professional, and clearly genuinely cares about her patients, which is awesome.
I’d done acupuncture before and not got the results I wanted, but was recommended five elements acupuncture by someone I trust, so I wanted to give it a go, and I am SO GLAD I did.

I met Lindsay at an event a few months ago and had wanted to come in for a treatment sooner, but didn’t get around to it until my migraines were intolerable and I needed help! She’s been wonderful! I had my second treatment with her today and plan to continue with the course of treatments, because I do feel like I’m getting better all around. She genuinely cares and really listens to your concerns. I’ve had acupuncture elsewhere, but I feel like I trust her more than other practitioners I’ve seen. Highly recommended.

I’ve been to a lot of acupuncturists in Austin and I have to admit that I am very picky with who treats me. I’ve always heard great things about five element acupuncture and Lindsay was the first practitioner in Austin I’ve found who offers this type of treatment.
The space itself is so welcoming, intimate and warm. I felt very comfortable right from the start. Lindsay is incredibly easy to sit and talk to– it’s nice to find someone who really knows their stuff! In addition to a long-​standing anxiety & depression issue, I came in for a pretty serious UTI that not even antibiotics could touch– it was a nightmare that was soothed after one treatment with Lindsay! After my all-​encompassing first appointment, which was a solid two hours of thorough examination and treatment, I literally felt 50lbs lighter.
Lindsay was so attentive and gentle during my appointment. I was pretty surprised when not only I, but also my friends and family, saw obvious results after this first treatment. I’ve never felt so cared for by any medical professional! It’s such a nice breath of fresh air– I couldn’t recommend Five Element Austin more.

When I used to think of acupuncture, I’d picture a cold medical environment and a back full of needles. Lindsay quickly flipped my perspective with her calming presence, inviting treatment space, and synergistic approach to healing through acupuncture.
Lindsay individualizes each treatment so you know you are not being shuffled through the motions. I was really surprised at the attention she gave to all the different components of my well-​being, and she spent quite a long time talking with me about the physical, emotional, and metaphysical challenges I was facing before deciding the best plan for me. Her thoughtful questions left me feeling as though she had a strong idea of who I am and what I need.
Once the actual treatment began, Lindsay walked me through each step to ensure I was comfortable. She explained what she was doing at each point and why, and the treatment was not only unobtrusive, but instantly relaxing. I feel so relieved to have found Lindsay and the Five Element methodology. I knew that she was very tuned in to how I was receiving the treatment, and I am so excited to see my results continue to improve.
As a lifelong dancer and highly-​functioning breed of crazy, I have plenty of needs for acupuncture including rigid muscles, nerve damage, insomnia, ADHD, acid reflux, some depression, anxiety and a dozen other roses. After two treatments, I have never felt so light and free of myself, yet so grounded. Here’s to even more amazing to come!
Also… STUDENT DISCOUNT!

Before I was treated by LIndsay I was skeptical of acupuncture — but the minute I walked through the door at Five Element I knew I wanted to come back again and again. The office has a simple elegant beauty and is impeccably clean. Lindsay herself is warm, gentle and intuitive and at the same time is highly professional and efficient. I have had chronic back pain for years now and no doctor has ever given me any useful advice about it. By needling points that weren’t even on my back, Lindsay’s treatment has left my back and my whole body feeling better for the longest period of time I can remember. I’m also a very curious person and so it was so satisfying that Lindsay was able to explain her the hows and whys of my treatment with such comprehensive clarity. I never thought I’d be an acupuncture convert, but appointments with Lindsay are now an essential part of improving my week!

I originally scheduled my very first acupuncture appointment with Lindsay to help with my acid reflux, but let me say, I left her office not only feeling free of my burning throat, but also feeling so alive and more balanced than I have ever felt before. Within 5 minutes of talking to Lindsay, all my fears of acupuncture dissolved, and I felt right at home. I was really blown away with the time that Lindsay took to get to know me, and she was able to pinpoint exactly what issues I was having.
I was really excited when I first walked into the Five Element Austin office; it was so serene, peaceful and clean. As soon as I walked through the door, I felt really comfortable, and I knew that I had picked the perfect person for the job.
Lindsay is not only an amazing acupuncturist, but she is also extremely professional and experienced as well. She has such a delicate and unique approach to acupuncture, and is very compassionate, caring and gentle. I have already scheduled my next appointment with Lindsay, and I just cannot wait to meet with her again.
