The Giving Chi's mission is... 

To help as many people as humanly possible thrive and feel alive by way of acupuncture and holistic medicine!

 

We Believe:

ʉۢ Everyone should be able to have access to high-quality health care that allows them to live free from illness, dis-ease and pain.

   • High-quality healthcare needs to be affordable and accessible to everyone who is looking for it.

  â€¢ No person’s “dis-ease” is exactly the same and effective care requires special attention to you, as a whole person. Focusing on your unique and individual needs is paramount to your recovery process. And we honor this in our practice with completely customizable care.

 

Our Approach:

Our approach to medicine and the healing process aimed at delivering powerful and focused treatment with the fewest visits possible. We know you’d rather be out taking care of business, playing with your kids, being active or just enjoying the time you have off and not spending every waking moment at the acupuncture office.

Eric at Giving Chi knows more than some of these people are saying. I have been going there for almost a year. He has helped me with everything I went there about. My stress level is very low now and I am a calmer and happier person since seeing him. I highly recommend going and giving them a chance.

I have been coming to the Giving Chi for a couple of months now to see Eric. I found him through my insurance company after I had two miscarriages. After seeing that they specialize in women’s health/complications, conception, pregnancy and family health I was very pleased. It was a very emotional time for me when I first saw Eric and I found that I was in very good and capable hands.



Eric has been nothing but professional, honest and truthful, caring, patient and sympathetic to the issues I am working through. After the first visit I felt very hopeful and happy that Eric’s approach and plan of acupuncture, herbs and diet would help my body heal and eventually be ready to house a baby. I am very happy that I came to him before seeking a western doctor of sorts, as a lot of the causes to my misfortunes are largely attributed to unresolved emotional pain and trauma.



It has been through my weekly visits that Eric has been able to help me to release and heal physically and emotionally through acupuncture. What I also appreciated about Eric was that I don’t’ feel like I’m alone in this journey that he’s walking with me to find a solution that will also me to be a mother and have a healthy baby. He has invested in me and my case. That is hard to find. It takes a compassionate and understanding person to do this work effectively and Eric is that person. It’s just one more amazing quality he possesses in addition to his extensive knowledge and education in Chinese Medicine has in addition to his immense passion in the art of healing.



I would recommend Eric and the Giving Chi to absolutely anyone seeking the kind of care that is provided here, because I am certain the experience I’ve described here is what everyone will have and more.

Don't waste your $ here you will not get any results. The owner is so green to the business and you will never see anyone there. The walls are paper thin as well. A ton in this neighborhood, do your research.

Eric Carlisle was awesome with my kids when they were sick.

He was do knowledgable, patient and thorough in handling their issues.

He made them feel so comfortable with his exam and interventions.

He had a specialized herbs formulated for them and went out of his way to get us worked into his schedule, since I was a but frantic with their symptoms.

He was so kind and conscientious to follow up with us and was very accommodating for our appointments.

I highly recommend Eric as a part of the health team for any family.

Not only is "The Giving Chi" the best acupuncturist around, but they run an extremely kid friendly office.



I bring my toddler with me to my appointments and at first I was hesitant because I didn't want Eric to use the needles as my treatment for fear that it would not only scare my son, but I might move and hurt myself. Eric and his wife Tera (both certified Acupunturists) explained to me of another technique for my treatment where there are no needles but I still get the same results.



I have always been a true believer in the benefits in Acupuncture but this is the first office I have been to where I feel the effects of the treatment immediately after my appointment. Eric even made recommendations of some remedies I can do at home for my allergies and headaches.



Eric works with my schedule and is very professional. The office is kept extremely clean and is very welcoming. I highly recommend "The Giving Chi" for anyone. Adults and Children.

If I could I'd give them zero stars

Worst business owner I have ever experienced. Will try to charge you extra $ for appointments and Is not well versed in Acupuncture. Do yourself and your body a favor and don't waste your $. Owner comes across as nice but just wants your $. You will get no results.
