MAJOR UPSIDE SURPRISE. Went to see Dr. Gries at recommendation of massage therapist - dry needling for treating sciatica. Not only was he immensely helpful at getting this cleared up in a few weeks, he also cured my severe food allergies (which vastly limited my eating for the past 20 years - see auricular therapy for more info) and helped me get over night time insomnia (through mix of acupuncture and over the counter supplements) ... now sleeping like a rock 7-8 hours/night. I seriously can't recommend him and his work enough, and my family is now working with him as well.

I had such an amazing experience with acupuncture and moxibustion during my pregnancy. My baby was in a breech position. I decided to try this natural approach, and I’m so glad I did.
The sessions were incredibly calming and professional. I felt relaxed and well taken care of the entire time. The practitioner explained everything clearly, especially how moxibustion works to encourage the baby to turn.
After just a short time, I received the best news — my baby had turned head down! I truly believe that acupuncture and moxibustion played a huge role in helping make that happen.
I’m so grateful for this experience and would highly recommend it.

Dr. Gries gets results! His customized therapy catalyzes both immediate resolution for acute health needs and progressive healing of chronic issues. You can feel the difference during and after a session! Additionally, he couples his proven acupuncture skills with insightful mind-body coaching. You could double the stars on this 5-star rating scale and it still would not be enough to rate Dr. Gries healing impact. I am grateful to have Dr. Gries on my wellness team! On top of Dr. Gries is the amazing office manager Deana, who is always genuinely warm and kind in every communication. She is a bright light.

Yes, I highly recommend Awakenings health. I am a patient (over a year now) with the combination of acupuncture , meditation audio, massages & most of all “Life Coaching”.
I have seen the change within me and I’m truly excited to keep evolving with Awakenings Health!!
It does work, I’m living testimonial.

Dr. Adam is the one of the most compassionate and intelligent people I’ve ever worked with. From the very first visit he has changed my life and perspective on so many things for the better. Acupuncture and wholistic medicine that he practices will help any one to be the best version of themselves. I can’t advocate for him highly enough. If you are skeptical like I was the first time give it a try and change your life. This man and his practice is the real deal. Me and my wife will be clients for life!

We have been attending yoga classes offered by Laura in our community for almost two years. The classes have been exceptional due to Laura's extensive knowlege of the healing benefits of yoga and her caring and supportive teaching approach. Regardless of each participant's skill level, Laura makes the sessions both productive and enjoyable. She continually brings fresh perspectives, ensures that we are engaging in each pose in a safe and effective manner, and checks on our welfare in between sessions. Since working with Laura, we have experienced many benefits from practicing yoga that have led to positive impacts on our health and well-being. We appreciate each class with Laura and her genuine interest in the individual progress of each of her students. Laura’s passion and commitment to her work is truly exemplary. Ken and Susan
