I initially sought acupuncture for anxiety and stress management, and the improvement has been remarkable. Not only has my symptoms significantly decreased, but I also feel more balanced and calm in my day-to-day life. Adriana is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and creates a comfortable, healing environment. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking effective, holistic healing! —LR
It is comforting to know that when I'm walking into the clinic, I feel like I'm walking into a safe space. Andrew creates a welcoming, non-judgmental environment. He is exceptionally kind and patient and his calm nature always makes me feel at ease. He treats our sessions with respect, care, and uncommon insight. I leave each session feeling like important work has been done, and look forward to our next session. It also helps that Andrew has a light-hearted and appropriate sense of humour. —NW
I began working with Adriana a few years ago on the recommendation of my Therapist. Adriana has helped me to be able to process stuck emotions and move towards wellbeing. She is a gifted practitioner. Adriana has genuine curiosity, taking time to listen to my experiences as well as my body. She meets me where I am at, balancing any acute concerns with the long-term goals that we are moving towards. She is a master at her craft but what I appreciate most is the calm and caring presence she brings, I always leave feeling cared for and about. —BT
From the moment you walk in, the calming atmosphere immediately puts you at ease. (Ask to go into the cocoon room.) Adriana is not only highly skilled but also takes the time to thoroughly understand your concerns and tailor each session to your specific needs. I used to have an irritation on my left wrist and after addressing my issues to Adriana after a couple sessions my body started to heal itself again thanks to the acupuncture. — BD
Adriana took the time to thoroughly understand my medical history, concerns and lifestyle, before designing a personalized treatment plan. I noticed great improvement in anxiety, relief of headaches and hot flashes. I have had injuries that Adriana has work with for pain relief as well. What I appreciate most about Adriana is her holistic approach. It is clear that she considers the entire person- physical, emotional and mental health- when providing treatment. The results speak for themselves and I am grateful for the positive changes I’ve experienced with her acupuncture treatments. — AW
I was recommended to acupuncture at Royal Road with Adriana by a trusted body worker who knew I was struggling with various perimenopause symptoms. In addition to helping me with general issues of injury or illness, the treatments with Adriana have helped clear the way in my body so that my unpredictable cycle has become much more routine. She's also made recommendations and observations that have helped me through yearly cycles so that I know, when feeling truly out of sorts during the transition from summer to fall (for example), how to support myself better in simple ways. I really enjoy coming for my sessions, which now occur usually once a month because my system is flowing and working more smoothly overall! —SM
Adriana is simply the best. I have been to a few other acupuncturists and none of them compare to Adriana's knowledge and skill level. Adriana has been able to help me with everything from physical to mental to hormonal issues I have experienced. Besides being an amazing acupuncturist she is one of the most kind and gentle human beings I have ever met. Her clinic is clean, cozy and brings a sense of calm as soon as you walk in. —DC
