Testimonials

Brenda Loew has changed my life

I learned of Brenda from a dear friend that used to live in Japan. She was familiar with Japanese acupuncture practices, and knew Brenda was considered the best, if not the best in the United States. Initially, Brenda treated me for nasty whiplash after a bad car accident. My doctors wanted me to do a year of physical therapy. Brenda did four or five treatments, and I haven't had a problem since. That was over 20 years ago. Years later I sought out Brenda to help with abdominal pain. After several treatments, Brenda identified what she felt was a serious problem. Sending me away with a chart of what she thought were tumors proved to be 100% true. My doctor, to become a Chief of Staff at Swedish, was amazed that her chart matched what was removed. I'm now reconnected with Brenda as a more mature adult, to keep my life in balance. My tinnitus is being kept at bay. I can't imagine not being able to see this professional. If you need help, call her. She's honest, experienced, and will do what she can to help you.

had no more pain

The first time I went to Brenda Loew I was suffering from incapacitating carpal tunnel syndrome that made my fingers numb, my shoulders and wrists so painful I could barely turn a door knob or a faucet without excruciating painful effort. I had been seeing doctors, LMP's, DC's for 5 months with little relief. After 3 weekly visits with Brenda Loew I regained more than 90% of function and had no more pain! That was more than 15 yrs ago, and now I refer patients to her for things like frozen shoulders, carpal tunnel and chronic back pain. She also treats kids without using needles, which is great for allergies and digestion. I highly recommend Brenda, she is a kind and genuine master at helping your body heal quickly and thoroughly.

The best Acupuncturist I've ever had

I've found Brenda to be the best Acupuncturist I've ever had, and love her gentle and accurate approaches to balance and wellness. I gained a new appreciation of receiving acupuncture with the Japanese style she uses, along with her gift of creating a peaceful environment and over-all experience, all for which I'm grateful for. Thank you for your supportive way's.

Brenda always provided the gentlest, care and healing

I had the pleasure of being a patient of Brenda's for over 17 years, ending when we moved out of state. My only complaint was she wouldn't let me box her up and move her with me! Finding someone comparable in our new location has been a challenge.

Brenda is such an inspiring teacher

I had the pleasure of taking a series of japanese acupuncture courses taught by Brenda at PRC in Victoria BC. I wish I could jump in her pocket and follow her around for 10 years just to watch what she does in treatment. I am looking forward to learning more from her in the future!
