Vessel Healing Arts - Palmer, Alaska

Elissa was able to help when traditional medicine did nothing for me. After talking to a couple of acupuncturists that were very conservative in their ability to help me, I called Elissa. She said that she had not treated my specific ailment before, but was confident she could help me. About 36 to 48 hours after her initial treatment, my symptoms had significantly abated. With in a week and after the second treatment, I felt like a new person. I quit taking the medication that had been prescribed (but did nothing to relieve my symptoms). I was a pessimist before, but am a believer now. The doctor I was seeing ordered many expensive tests and barely even talked to me about my problem. Elissa talked with me for at least 45 minutes before she even started treatment. I cannot sing her praises enough. She comes highly recommended by me.

I took a leap of faith in going to Vessel Acupuncture and Somatic Therapy for treatment for some of my ailments and and one word comes to mind and that word is WOW!!!!!!! Let me say Acupuncturist Elissa McAlpine is absolutely incredible, Elissa is a big supporter of veterans and as a combat veteran I can tell you that since I have been under her amazing, incredible care the results that I have seen for myself in my health and well being have been LIFE SAVING. The setting at Vessel Acupuncture is peaceful, serene, calming and I always leave the sessions feeling at peace and with renewed hope. The service that Elissa provides is a truly, truly valued service that is extraordinary and I would highly recommend anyone to see Elissa with Vessel Acupuncture and Somatic Therapy.

If I could put 10 stars, I would. I sought a consultation with her for various stubborn issues, and several months later, I am a different person. So thrilled there weren't many practitioners in the Valley to choose from, otherwise I might not have discovered how incredible of a healer Elissa is. When I go see her, I am seeing a therapist, a counselor, an acupuncturist, a friend, and most of all someone who can see through my ailments and see the True person that I was meant to be. I attribute so much of my current well being to her and I truly hope many others can be touched in the same way that I have been.

Vessel Acupuncture and Somatic Therapy is one of a kind. I have had experience with other acupuncturist but nothing compares to Vessel. The acupuncturist, Elissa, truly and deeply cares for you. She is committed to helping you and goes above and beyond. The environment is spa-like and very zen. I always feel amazing walking out of each session. I highly recommend this company.

Elissa helped me through every step of my terrifying breast cancer diagnosis. She took the time to custom tailor every appointment so that it specifically targeted my symptoms as they evolved from week to week. She helped me build strength in my immune system, curb nausea, relax muscle tension, and feel more like myself then I ever expected to through this process. Her hunger for knowledge and passion for what she does is evident in every interaction and I cannot thank her enough for helping me through this!

I have been seeing Elissa for over 5 months. I am so grateful to have found such an astute practitioner so vested in my health care. Our collaboration has greatly enhanced my overall health and well-being. She is patient and persistent and I always look forward to our appointments!

I've been working with Elissa for about six months now. During our initial visit she needled my hip to relieve the tingling and numbing from wearing a heavy backpack (i assumed the nerve was pinched by the hip belt) and immediately fire shot up and down my leg. I had feeling back in my thigh almost immediately for the first time in over a year. What started as a search for immediate pain relief from overuse injuries has turned into a beautiful journey together to get to the root of my chronic exhaustion and general lack of chi.

Cannot recommend her highly enough for people struggling with past traumas (that means just about everyone), people who work their bodies hard (for work or play), and anyone looking to let go of something so they can build something better. It's more than a physical experience and she treats so much more than your symptoms.

She has been incredibly professional, warm, creative, and intuitive in each of our sessions and I can't wait to see where the next treatment leads.
