Emotional Health

I went to see Erik upon entering entering recovery from alcohol addiction. I was struggling, physically, emotionally and spiritually. My experience at inner gate with Erik has been extremely positive and helpful. I always feel listened to and that my whole self is being considered. The way in which Erik listens and then formulates and talks to me about his treatment it is very integrated. I am greatly appreciative for the work and support that Erik has provided over a very challenging and transitional time in my life. The sensitivity, love and skill that Erik brings to this work is a gift. I would Highly recommend Inner Gate to anyone needing healing and balance in any area of their life!


Fatigue/ Insomnia

I originally went to Inner Gate looking for relief from a seemingly endless supply of fatigue, headaches and sleepless nights. I felt like a zombie most of the time and was constantly taking pain and sleeping pills. My immune system was so shot I was catching every infection around. I walked into my first session with Erik worn out and working on my third headache for the week. I left with no pain and a good deal of hope. Since beginning treatment my sleepless nights are gone and the headaches are drastically reduced. My energy levels have also improved. What I didn't expect was how great I would feel physically and mentally. It's hard to express how happy and uplifted I feel without sounding silly but everybody around me has noticed the difference. I look forward to each session with Erik and walk away with energy for days. I would recommend Erik and Inner Gate Acupuncture to anyone interested, I know you'll be just as happy as I am.


Stress

I first walked into the clinic with an injury which resolved quickly with Erik's attentive treatment. I feel like a discerning health care consumer in that after working in western clinics for ten years-I had the opportunity to work for a series of acupuncturists. I developed a criteria for choosing care to include-10 years in practice, can read Chinese, works with a colleague-as opposed to renting space in a "health studio", has an herbal pharmacy, returns call backs within 4 hours, is currently also getting acupuncture, can handle it when I cry, and knows some knock-knock jokes. I recently sought some more acupuncture for lifestyle stress issues-meet with a lot of acupuncturists in Portland-and wound up at Erik's doorstep again-convinced I'd found the best-about 2 months later-even though the stresses are the same my reaction to the stresses have totally shifted and I am healthier than I've ever been-so if you have ever even remotely thought about trying acupuncture this is the place-act!


Emotional Health

I have been receiving acupuncture from a variety of practitioners for over 10 years. I found Oliver Leonetti to be one of the most attentive and patient acupuncturists. I was really pleased that he spend as much as he did with me. I have some complicated emotional problems. It isn't always easy for me to communicate but I felt like I was in a safe place where I could open up. Oliver was able to step out of the doctor role and approach me as another person and I found that to be unique and commendable. Inner Gate Acupuncture has a beautiful clinic that is pleasant and clean. The parking is easy and I'm always seen on time which I love.
