Patient Testimonials

Lis takes the time to understand surface problems as well as what may be going on underneath. Along with treating acute symptoms, she was able to provide guidance in how I could treat underlying issues. She is fantastic at what she does, and is great for those of us that have seen a multitude of acupuncturists, or for people looking to try for the first time.

I highly recommend Lis Goldschmidt as a queer and trans-positive provider and brilliant healer.

Lis' business classes were super helpful in my post graduation freak out. She is down to earth, knowledgable, funny, and makes the class relevant to your needs as a new practitioner. I cannot recommend her and this class enough. The class gave me the confidence and tools to take the plunge and start my own practice last Fall. I continue to feel encouraged, inspired, and supported through her and Five Pins Project.

Lis is amazing! It was just by chance that I found her, and I am so happy that I did. Not only is she the most gentle and caring acupuncturist I could imagine, but she helped me with a problem that no other doctor could put their finger on. I am so grateful for her help and admire her compassion for all people. I feel like a new person and am able to live a normal life every day. Thank you Lis!

When I was suffering from severe chronic pain from late-stage Lyme Disease, Lis offered me a calm, healing space and helped me manage the stress of pain and illness. I experienced significant pain and nausea relief after her treatments.

I honestly feel like my visits with Lis have changed my life - she has treated and helped in healing my body, soul, spirit, mind, & heart.

I felt very taken care of and was both physically and emotionally guided to a better place by the time I floated out of the office.
