Restore Acupuncture & Wellness, led by Lynda, offers a holistic approach to healing. Lynda is known for her thoroughness and her ability to explain traditional Chinese medicine concepts in a way that is easy to understand. The practice utilizes a variety of techniques, including Auricular acupuncture, mirroring, shaking, acupuncture with light movement, heat lamp therapy, and lineaments. Patients report feeling clear-headed and relaxed after sessions, noting a reduction in their nervous system's fight-or-flight response. Many patients, including those with knee pain, liver chi stagnation, swelling, and chronic pain conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, have experienced significant improvements in their symptoms and overall well-being. Lynda's personalized approach, which includes lifestyle and activity modifications, is highly praised, with patients describing their experience as relaxing and restful. Patients recommend Restore Acupuncture & Wellness to friends and family, even suggesting it to those whose conditions may not be adequately addressed by Western medicine. Despite the practice not accepting insurance, many patients feel the benefits are worth the out-of-pocket expense, urging others not to delay seeking care for their health concerns.
I initially began perusing acupuncture after experiencing debilitating knee pain, stiffness and difficulty ambulating, come to find out I experienced a meniscus tear and femoral cartilage damage. I am a physical therapist and knew the steps to take although this didn’t feel sufficient and I wanted to give my body the best chance at recovery, non-operatively. It was my first time with any acupuncturist and I had lots of questions regarding traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, holistic medicine and related information. Lynda was very helpful!

I initially began perusing acupuncture after experiencing debilitating knee pain, stiffness and difficulty ambulating, come to find out I experienced a meniscus tear and femoral cartilage damage. I am a physical therapist and knew the steps to take although this didn't feel sufficient and I wanted to give my body the best chance at recovery, non-operatively. It was my first time with any acupuncturist and I had lots of questions regarding traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, holistic medicine and related information. Lynda was very helpful! I felt listened to, heard, understood and validated. She explained what she was doing on a basic and deeper level as I was able to understand. She performed a variety of techniques including discovering a pattern of liver chi stagnation, Auricular acupuncture, mirroring, using shaking to wake up the body, acupuncture with light movement, heat lamp with infrared, lineaments, encouraged lifestyle and activity modifications! The first notable feeling I experienced after my first session was feeling clear minded. I also tend to have vivid dreams after acupuncture. I felt relaxed enough to fall asleep during sessions, come to find out this can be a good sign of your nervous system ramping down the fight/flight response to feel comfortable enough to fall asleep. There are also lymphatic system benefits which was very important for my case since I had swelling in the knee which did help! I had about 8 visits over the course of about 1-2 months and by the time we concluded with the acupuncture visits (which would have put me at 5-6 months after my initial knee flare up), I was feeling great, in fact more confident and rested. I progressively began returning to my regular activities of surfing, rock climbing, mountain biking and eventually skiing! I would recommend Lynda to my friends, family and even to the patients I treat who might be struggling in various areas of their life/health especially where western medicine is lacking. If your insurance is not accepted, I still recommend paying out of pocket. Please don't put off your health or let things build up into a chronic problem.
