Testimonials

I’ve been going to Alchemy Acupuncture since 2020 and it has been an incredible experience! I’ve had migraines treated, digestive issues, muscular issues, and support throughout two pregnancies and fertility support in between! Michelle, Devon, and Judith are each wonderful in their own skill sets and treating the body at the root issues. I’ll forever recommend acupuncture and this office!!

As someone who hates needles, I am so shocked at how much I LOVE acupuncture. This clinic and (the most amazing acupuncturist) Devon helped make me feel so comfortable and listened to my areas of pain. I cannot recommend this place enough! Devon restored my back and relieved me from my horrible back pains. I always feel so much better after my appointments! So grateful for this place and Devon!!!

I met Michelle in March of 2009.   After a year of trying to get pregnant, and my O.B. recommending that I start taking fertility drugs, I wanted to try another way.  I started seeing Michelle.  She not only administered acupuncture treatments, but also suggested foods to eat and avoid as well as herbs/teas to consume.  Within 3 months I was pregnant.  I also sought treatment from Michelle in the year following the birth of my son to rebuild my post-partum body.  As my son approached his one year birthday I found out I was pregnant and was blessed with a baby girl in the fall of 2011.  I credit Michelle with helping my body prepare for 2 healthy pregnancies and babies.  She is wonderful, caring and compassionate, and I highly recommend her!

I come here to see Devon once a week for everything. She has treated me for hormonal balancing, grief, stress, sleep or injuries. Her abilities keep my quality of life maximized through it all.

I’ve been seeing Michelle on and off since 2011 as needed and I have been very pleased with her services. I have had acupuncture from other providers before but she is by far the best I have encountered here in Chicago. She is very professional and skilled at her trade, with a great bedside manner. Her background in nutrition is a huge bonus, and she made some suggestions to me for diet alterations that have been really life changing for me. I really appreciate her holistic approach and truly believe in the power of acupuncture. Her treatments have been noticeably effective. Michelle provides expert treatment in a clean, comfortable, and healing environment.

Michelle is an incredibly caring and kind healer who created a customized acupuncture treatment for my symptoms and helped me relax and feel comfortable during the session. I left my first appointment feeling SO much better. As someone who isn’t very familiar with eastern medicine, Michelle was very helpful in explaining different points and she even helped me come up with adjustments for my lifestyle and eating habits. I highly recommend Michelle, especially for acupuncture beginners!

I discovered acupuncture here, and it’s been amazing! After struggling with severe cramps from endometriosis, I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did! Unlike my regular doctors who didn’t seem to listen, here I received personalized care that really focused on my needs. Now, not only do I feel like I’m floating after each session, but I also get relief from my chronic back pain and digestive issues. It’s been a game-changer for me! I would highly recommend Alchemy for anyone who is looking for an acupuncturist or wants to explore options other than just taking more medication. The staff here is so friendly and everyone truly cares about the patient’s health!

Michelle helped me get through my second very uncomfortable pregnancy. She treated me for joint pain in pregnancy and it made a huge difference.  Michelle was so helpful and so intuitive that I had hired her to be my doula.
As a Doula she was so incredibly supportive and was with me holding my hand rubbing my back for almost 20 hours. I don’t know how I would have made it through this birth without her. She guided my husband and helped to keep my mom and family calm. She is so talented in all she does.

I’m using acupuncture for the last 25 years. Lately in the last couple of years I started going to Alchemy Acupuncture & Herbs and I absolutely love it. Everyone is so caring and always so clean. I currently working with Devon such a kind, caring and extremely professional. She can read the body, mind and soul with such sensitivity and accuracy. Devon knows how to treat with her extensive knowledge, practice, great instincts and care. I deeply recommend working with Devon and I trust anyone treating in Alchemy Acupuncture & Herbs.

Michelle is so warm and caring — she really wants to do whatever she can to heal her patients.  She knows me now, enough to know that I love the heat — she turns on the heat pads, the heat lamp and the extra heater in the room for my sessions.  She spent 90 minutes with me the other day, finishing my session with cupping (yes, you have these crazy suction marks for days) for no extra fee.  She uses extra fine needles on me because I have sensitive skin and I can hardly tell they’re there.  I also love the new expanded space upstairs!

I still haven’t tried anyone else for acupuncture…so that must be a good thing!

Love this place! I see Devon & she’s been amazing. I started for lower back pain, but it’s become so much more. She’s been able to successfully treat shoulder pain, digestive issues & overall stress. My favorite part is the acupuncture combined with herbal remedies for sickness (cough, congestion & stomach issues). I feel so much better after I see Devon. Her bedside manner is top tier & I always feel like she’s really listening to me.

Alchemy Acupuncture & Herbs is a great space with caring practitioners. I work with Devon, and she is absolutely incredible! She’s easy to talk to and thoughtfully takes all the information you provide in consideration as she treats you. She always remembers my preferences and holds space for whatever may be ailing me. If you’re on the fence or nervous about receiving acupuncture– don’t be! Devon is a great person to guide you into this sort of treatment with her explanations and patience. I highly recommend!
