Client Testimonials
After hours of research, I decided on Balance.
“I started acupuncture with Lauren and Andrea about 5 weeks ago. After hours of research, I decided on Balance. I chose them based on their practitioner bios, location, space (feels like you’re going to your friends house to relax!) and pricing. Since we are in the middle of the pandemic, I have to compliment them on their space and schedule- I feel very safe every time! These ladies are excellent at truly listening to you and altering their treatment each time based on what you have to report back. Not to mention dealing with my crazy schedule each week! They are compassionate professionals.”
The results have been so positively dramatic
“Naomi is such a gifted acupuncturist…I have gone to her in times of illness and pain and the results have been so positively dramatic….it’s unbelievable! I would recommend her work on anyone I know!”
Balance Acupuncture has been a truly wonderful addition to my life.
“I have had the pleasure of receiving treatments through both Lauren and Andrea….acupuncture, cupping, Gua Sha and Facial Rejuvenation. They are extremely knowledgeable and are the most intuitive acupuncture practitioners I have ever experienced. They are dedicated to finding the best path for each individual and an absolute joy to be around. Each visit feels more like an experience and complete reset of my system vs just a treatment. I recommend them highly!”
Gentleness and understanding
“I have been a client of Andreas for just over one year and her wealth of knowledge and instinctive approach to treatment is magical. She has helped me through a few mental and physical problems with gentleness, understanding and most of all leaving me feeling better! I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea to anyone looking for holistic and herbal treatment.”
This time i tried acupuncture and i was amazed
"For the past 5 years I have had a reoccurring neck and upper back injury. Each time I injure myself I search desperately for a remedy which typically has included chiropractic or physical therapy. However, this time I tried acupuncture and was amazed. Usually I am in pain for 5 or 6 weeks before experiencing relief - with acupuncture my relief was almost immediate and after 24 hours there was no sharp pain. Lauren was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. I went into the appointment skeptical but open, and left confident and comfortable with full range of motion of my neck."
an incredibly skilled healer
“Andrea is an incredibly skilled healer. I've received a lot of work from people all over the country and Andrea is at the top. I left her office feeling uplifted and with a relaxed body. I couldn't sing her praises more!”
genuinely listens and is invested in my health
“When I began treatment with Andrea, I was battling debilitating fatigue due to adrenal burnout, which was exacerbated by a depleting parasitic infection. I was incredibly frustrated and dejected and wanted to feel better and "like myself" again. Andrea was so incredibly supportive and encouraging. She not only took the time to thoroughly understand my condition and symptoms, she went above and beyond to make sure the treatment plan was something that I could handle and succeed in maintaining. Her acupuncture treatments were gentle and restorative and the herbs that she prescribed immediately cleared uncomfortable symptoms and boosted my energy. I am so thankful to have found a practitioner that genuinely listens and is invested in my health.”
improve all aspects of my health
If you suffer from a chronic illness I highly recommend you include Andrea on your care team. My regular sessions with her help me improve all aspects of my health. Most recently, Andrea has helped me recover from bone fusion surgery. Andrea’s treatments are very effective, she is compassionate and consistently listening as to how she can help you. If you have never experienced acupuncture, I guarantee Andrea will put you at ease and you will walk away a healthier person.
her follow up is fantastic
"I cannot say enough about how amazing Lauren Becker is! A friend referred me to see Lauren a few months ago for anxiety. She has helped me tremendously and been so caring. Lauren is very professional and her follow up is fantastic. If you have ever considered acupuncture you need to go see her!"
I had the best night's sleep I've had in a long time!
"Lauren, we've been through a lot, you and I, since I arrived from Seattle last year. I truly was skeptical that I could find the same Acupuncture/TCM care here as I had in Seattle... But I was wrong. You have done more for me in the year I have been under your care than those in Seattle did for me over a two-year span. I never leave your office without marked improvement and the overall progress with my serious eye issues has been remarkable. You are warm, gentle, kind and always know just what to do to make me feel better. After this last treatment, I slept great! 8 hours straight. No dreams, no in-out sleep, nothing. Just hard, solid sleep! I had the best night's sleep I've had in a long time! Thank you! Thank you! This is definitely MY HAPPY PLACE!"
Has helped me immensely
“Andrea is the best. Caring spirit with extremely talented hands and thoughtful dialogue. Has helped me immensely.”
takes time to listen to her patients
“Don’t waste your time going anywhere else. Andrea is very skilled at what she does and can also prescribe Chinese Herbs. She’s a one stop shop who takes time to listen to her patients needs.”
extremely kind and professional
"I have received several treatments from Lauren. During each session, not only has she been extremely kind and professional, she also offers follow up treatments, such as cupping and massages, to the very helpful and stress relieving acupuncture. I have made it a point to continue going as often as I can"
I've felt great ever since
“This was my first full-service acupuncture session. I was experiencing fatigue in my left hand, specifically, and some digestion issues. Andrea did a full intake before the actual needling. She was extremely thoughtful and gentle throughout the process and the treatment room is very serene! I was surprised at how quickly I became relaxed once the needles were inserted - and I remained relaxed for several hours afterwards. I prefer not having to take any form of medication and I'm thankful an alternative to western medicine exists. The treatment eliminated my symptoms I had been experiencing and I've felt great ever since.”
…and give you that just right treatment
“Lauren is brilliant! She can deduce from a very complicated health history and give you that just right treatment. She also makes you laugh and relax and I can’t recommend her more highly!!”
Andrea is a gifted healer
Andrea is a gifted healer. She has a broad education in acupunture technique, both classical and hands-on from excellent master practitioners. For me, acupunture improves gastro health, gynecological wellness, and mental acuity (not to mention the stress relief!). After having worked with many fine acupuncturists in New York, I was thrilled to find Andrea in Charleston.
I was amazed at all she knew about the body!
“Andrea is fantastic! She has helped with multiple health issues including back and shoulder pain and a crazy tooth issue! She helped my daughter with shoulder pain as well. She's a true professional that is very knowledgeable in her industry. I was amazed at all she knew about the body and connectivity points. Her place is extremely clean, calming and smells fantastic from her herbal scents. She's has very reasonable packages. I'd highly recommend Andrea if you are looking for an acuputurist in Charleston.”
Great experience!
“After hearing about the many benefits of acupuncture, I decided to visit Lauren at Balance Acupuncture to help me deal with a cyst on my wrist that caused me nagging pain for years off and on. During my first treatment I discovered how relaxing and beneficial acupuncture is to my whole body and mind. I came out of the appointment feeling relaxed and energized and with no pain in my wrist at all.
After three treatments with Lauren my wrist cyst was no longer giving me any pain and it has not flared up since then. I would recommend Balance Acupuncture to anyone even if you do not have a lingering issue because of the many benefits I discovered from Lauren's acupuncture sessions. Great experience!”
she goes out of her way to assure her clients are comfortable
“Andrea is professional and a gifted healer. This was my first acupuncture experience and she goes out of her way to assure her clients are comfortable. I highly recommend her practice and have benefited so very much from her treatments.”
the calmest part of the week!
“Lauren is amazing! She works really hard to understand what’s happening with your body and come up with the best treatment plan. I really look forward to my sessions - the calmest part of the week!”
My skin has experienced outstanding results.
“Andrea has been doing cosmetic acupuncture on me for approximately 3 months now. My skin has experienced outstanding results. My friends often think that I have botox done and are shocked when I tell them it is natural and accupuncture only. My skin on my neck has tightened dramatically, my forehead lines are virtually gone, and they were deep prior, my overall skin tone and complexion has cleared and tightened tremendously. This woman is a magic worker with skin as well as overall balancing of my body and system in unison. Thank you Andrea! I am forever grateful. 🙏”
So talented and healing
“Naomi is the BEST!! I’ve been getting acupuncture since 2006 and she is the best I’ve found. Go see her! So talented and healing. You won’t regret it!”
she knows a ton about Chinese herbal medicine
“Naomi is an amazing Acupuncturist. I have been going to her for about a year. Originally I went for circulation issues which has resolved, however, while treating for one specific issue, any time I had some other health problem, I would tell her and she would do acupuncture to address those other problems. She has helped with issues of circulation, the common cold, sinus infection, inflammation in my ankle from running, and irritability. I highly recommend seeing her if you are looking for someone you can trust to do acupuncture! Oh, also, she knows a ton about Chinese herbal medicine that she recommended I added into my daily routine to address my various issues and they have all worked!”
I felt amazing and so empowered
“Naomi is a skilled practitioner. I have a phobia of needles, but under Naomi’s care was able to conquer that fear. After my treatment, I felt amazing and so empowered. Also, took the herbs she gave me, and they take care of most of my symptoms.”
great bedside manner
Naomi is a great acupuncturist and I have been to many over the years! I was getting over a nasty flu bug and she helped me completely get it out of my system and gave me some herbs to boost my immunity. After going to her I was able to fully enjoy a trip to wine country without any residual illness from the flu. Would definitely recommend her in general and especially for an immune system boost due to cold and flu season. She was also able to give me some dietary tips that were helpful. Naomi.is also very nice and sweet with a great bedside manner which is wonderful especially if you are feeling under the weather.
new believer in acupuncture
Naomi fixed a nagging stiff calf muscle in one session! And I’m currently getting treated by her for pain and flexibility after broken ankle surgery. So far so good. I’m generally skeptical by nature, but a new believer in acupuncture.
The treatment I received was incredible
I have never done any acupuncture or cupping before going to see Naomi. Before the treatment started, Naomi spoke with me in-depth and we went over all my past medical issues. The treatment I received was incredible. I had recently had received a concussion on was experiencing severe head, neck and back pain. Naomi treated me with acupuncture, cupping and she also did some Reiki on me.I would not be feeling as good as I do today without the treatments I received from Naomi!!
she was treating the body as a whole
Naomi is talented and knowledgeable, and on top of that, she is very nurturing. I appreciated all of her thoughtful questions; It really made me feel she was treating the body as a whole and not just targeting symptoms. I felt relaxed but also energized afterwards. I would recommend her to anyone interested in acupuncture, reiki, or cupping. I also really like the space – there was a very calming and healing energy!
a phenomenal practitioner
Naomi is a phenomenal practitioner, she listens and is very skilled in acupuncture and Reiki. I have been receiving acupuncture for 4 weeks and have seen and felt positive changes in my body and life. I will continue to see Naomi and will recomend her to anyone who is looking for acupuncture, reiki and for chinese herbs. Yes, she can also custom fit individuals for herbal products. I love my teas! If you are on the fence on seeing an acupuncturist, try Naomi Campbell, you will not be disappointed.”
my symptoms dramatically improved
“Naomi is amazing! I first went to her last summer with an unexplained nerve problem in my back. I am a commercial/industrial electrician and have worked labor jobs for years, but the pain was becoming unbearable. Aside from the back pain, I was experiencing tingling sensations (like an electrical shock) from my lower back to my hands in increasingly common intervals. This was affecting my work, and my life in general adversely as one can imagine. After the first session with Naomi my symptoms dramatically improved, and were completely alleviated after the second. Incredible. I continue to receive treatments periodically for other issues arising from construction work and the stresses of life in general. I would recommend her to anyone!”
