Patients' Stories


"If you have ever had any doubts about acupuncture, please schedule an appointment with Susie Hayes."

"If you have ever had any doubts about acupuncture, please schedule an appointment with Susie Hayes.  Twelve years ago, I was referred to Susie by a friend who was certain acupuncture could help me with my bad headaches and migraines. I have been a believer and a faithful patient of Susie's ever since my first appointment. Acupuncture has helped with simpler issues such as stopping a cold in its tracks, to more complex issues such as bad digestion and anxiety. I credit Susie and acupuncture for giving me the knowledge and ability to conduct my life in a healthier way without interruption.

Upon your arrival, you will immediately be at ease and comfortable in Susie's office surroundings, and with her. Susie takes the time to question AND to listen with compassion to what is going on with each individual. Susie uses her ever-evolving knowledge, skills, and continual up-to-date training as an acupuncturist to get to the root of what is really going on in each individual body. I would recommend Susie Hayes without reservation, to anyone."

"I have been receiving acupuncture treatment from Susie Hayes for four months for chronic back pain when my pain level was about a 7 out of 10. I was miserable. Susie is a graduate of Bastyr University and is a kind, genuine person who listens well and excels in her profession. Shortly after treatment was initiated, my pain level dropped to about 3. I have gone from taking eight over-the-counter analgesic tablets each day to two tablets or fewer. I am now sleeping two to four hours more each night than before treatment. I feel so much better and I am told I look better. I heartily recommend Susie Hayes and Energetic Medicine."

"I highly recommend Susie and Energetic Medicine … Susie, I really think you’re awesome!"

"Susie at Energetic Medicine treated my hamstring injury with compassion, expertise and professionalism. I had this ongoing injury for a couple of years from running and had been wanting to try acupuncture when a friend suggested Susie. Her office was a little out of my way to drive, but was well worth it! She helped rehabilitate my hamstring in time for my next half Ironman. She creates a relaxing atmosphere and I think I slept most of the sessions. I highly recommend Susie and Energetic Medicine and will go back to help get me through my training for my next Ironman… Susie, I really think you’re awesome!"

"Thank you for the two days of shoulder treatment six (6) days prior to the National Handball Championships. As you are well aware, for the two weeks prior to your treatments I was unable to raise my arm above my head! Once again, your treatments not only allowed me to play in the National Championships but were undoubtedly the reason I was able to play and win a National Doubles Championship title!!
 
Thanks for treating me, once again, for another Handball injury which allowed me to participate.
You are indeed a "wonder worker"."

"Since my treatments over the last couple of years (with Susie), I have concluded that I no longer have asthma."

"I have been a patient with Susie for 2 years. She was recommended by a friend. My results have been incredible to say the least. I used asthma medicine for 25 years, have had many problems with my lungs and all symptoms associated with asthma. Since my treatments over the last couple of years, I have concluded that I no longer have asthma. The treatment, as well as advice with my diet, has allowed me to overcome this physical disease. My allergies have also decreased drastically. I have been to many other acupuncturists and I feel that Susie is one of the best. She shows great care and compassion on every visit, which I feel is an essential part of acupuncture."

"I began having a lot of pain from arthritis and my HMO recommended Susie Hayes of Energetic Medicine. The relief was immediate and lasting. GERD? I’ve gone from almost nightly episodes to maybe once a month. Rotator cuff pain? Susie told me how to correct my sleeping position, and then treated the pain in the arm. After three treatments, I can again open my car door, put on my coat, and lift things down from kitchen cupboards. Constipation? I’m back to a very regular schedule…she’s improved that for me, too. My son and grandson have been treated by Susie, and I have recommended her to countless friends."

"I started improving after the first treatment with Susie and now, after five visits with a modified diet and supplement plan, I feel better than I've felt in years with remarkably improved digestion and vitality."

"I scheduled an appointment with Susie Hayes at Energetic Medicine after nearly a year of suffering from digestive issues that neither MDs or NDs could help me resolve. I started improving after the first treatment with Susie and now, after five visits with a modified diet and supplement plan, I feel better than I've felt in years with remarkably improved digestion and vitality. I feel so lucky to have found Susie and will continue to see her long-term as a core member of my health team.

The treatment rooms are comfortable and soothing.  Susie always has a smile and radiates warmth and concern while sharing her wealth of experience and knowledge. I always feel heard and never rushed.  

If you're considering acupuncture for any variety of health issues, please don't hesitate to call Energetic Medicine. Schedule an appointment today!"

"I’m very happy with Susie, her staff and the clinic in general. She provides high-quality service, listens to her patients’ issues and concerns carefully, and genuinely cares about treating the illness and addressing all the problems holistically. Susie is experienced, knowledgeable, honest and very pleasant. I am deeply impressed by her high level of expertise and the fact that she keeps her knowledge up to date by going to classes and seminars regularly. Her clinic is also very relaxing, comfortable and beautifully decorated. I have had great results and definitely recommend her."

"Susie Hayes is an excellent acupuncturist with many years' experience and an honest, open attitude about who can be helped and who can’t."

"Acupuncture is an ancient art and it's effective for many medical and emotional problems...but not all. Susie Hayes is an excellent acupuncturist with many years' experience and an honest, open attitude about who can be helped and who can't.

I started seeing Susie three years ago at the recommendation of my massage therapist. I'd started having migraines and conventional medicine was treating the agony but not fixing the underlying problem. Susie put needles in me during four appointments in two weeks and the headaches started to go away. With a few more weeks of twice-weekly sessions, the migraines went away completely for about six months. 

Now I go for a "tune-up" once or twice a year (they seem to flare up in spring and fall; I think they are connected to hormonal changes and seasonal allergies for me) and the migraines stay completely gone."

"I developed exercise-induced asthma after a car accident. Over the next few years, my condition worsened so that I had to use an inhaler every few hours and took pills. Susie began treatment for my asthma and a few months later I no longer needed the inhaler or pills. Years later, I have never had a reoccurrence of asthma."
