I could not be happier with my experience here. I have recommended this place to so many people, I love it so much and it has been incredibly effective for me. I left each treatment feeling better than I came in, a blissful state of zen. From the space itself to all of the wonderful cherry blossom healing arts Dr's it was a professional, clean, and high quality experience. Everyone I worked with was amazing but I saw Dr. Seonim Cho the most frequently and she was lovely, kind, and really cared about the well-being of all her patients. I highly recommend coming here to those with acupuncture experience and especially if you are curious or new to acupuncture this is the perfect place to try it out! read more

I have enjoyed coming here to get relief for my foot, shoulder and overall well-being. Xudong was incredible. I appreciated the time she took to find out all about me as a person and not just looking at my aches and pains. Each session, I felt like I was hit by a tranquilizer. I always found myself in a restful and peaceful state post treatments as well as feeling relief from my problem areas. I will definitely come back if I have other areas that are causing me issues! Ps. On the website, check to see if your insurance covers your sessions! read more

See all

I warmly recommend Seonim Cho who truly strives to understand the root of your issues.

I now see her for other health concerns and highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective, personalized treatment. read more

I've been coming here for the last month and have been really impressed with the level of care I've received. I've had acupuncture before, but never to this quality. Many places in DC are open rooms with separators in between. However, Cherry Blossom handles everything like a true healthcare provider. All appointments are held in separate rooms with the needed medical supplies. You are given a hospital gown to change into so they can reach any acupuncture point needed. It's a true health professional experience. Most importantly, the service I've received has been great. I've been seeing Zach for the last month and truly feel heard. As a woman, I can often feel ignored but he listens to all my concerns and addresses everything accordingly. I'm still in the middle of my treatment butI'm really happy with the care and treatment I've received so. Zach makes sure to tailor each visit to all my current health concerns/needs. If you are seeking a quality acupuncture experience, go to Cherry Blossom Healing Arts! read more

So immensely grateful to have found this wonderful practice! I was extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Elyse Rohrer Budiash and her staff at Cherry Blossom Healing Arts almost two years ago through my research and perusal of excellent online reviews. Dr. Rohrer Budiash and team are one of the best healing arts facilities, I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing in the twenty plus years of adding acupuncture to my self care and healing! As Director, Elyse has extensive years of experience in providing holistic healing and herbal medicine. I have found her practice to be an integral part of my alternative wellness journey. Elyse is extremely dedicated to finding the most beneficial healing modalities for her client community. She is intuitive, supportive and compassionate and kind, and delivers the most effective and specialized treatment plans. I am so grateful for each and every acupuncture treatment session I have experienced! Additionally, that same care is shown by all of her team. Each of the staff at Cherry Blossom Healing are an absolutely dynamic group of professionals and offer the very best patient care. I have also received acupunture by Xudong Wang Msom, another wonderful acupuncturist, who exemplifies the type of consistent and excellent mindful care that this practice is known for and consistently delivers. Ezra Gross, the Office Manager, greets you a smile every time, ensuring your insurance needs are submitted timely and efficiently as well as booking follow-up appointment requests. Shushan Tesfuzigta, Patient Coordinator, also assists with ensuring you are checked in the moment you arrive, assisting with scheduling and payment. I have always experienced timely delivery of services, timely check in and out. The website also helps you manage your upcoming appointments and is also very user and mobile friendly. They are open on weekends!! The private treatment rooms are absolutely cozy and wonderful with heated tables and lamps with ambient music. The treatment rooms are delightfully pristine, inviting and calming. There are lovely health care products and scented candles to buy in the practice that are helpful for continuing self care. They are showcased at the front reception area and placed conveniently for purchase. I look forward to coming here every appointment and a complementary herbal tea awaits you to sip on your way out! I would enthusiastically say this is one of the best practices I have ever experienced in my many years of experiencing the benefits of acupuncture! Highly and resolutely recommend -- you will find the Cherry Blossom Healing Arts beneficial in your healing journey! This top tier practice is run with excellent care and expertise. Your experience will most likely be as profoundly impactful and noteworthy as mine! read more

I've tried many acupuncturists - none are as good as Dr. Seonim Cho from Cherry Blossom Healing Arts. I've had chronic pain in my lower back. After just one treatment, I felt total relief. I live in a part of DC far from where CBHA is located, but it's well worth the trip! read more

We tried acupuncture and moxibustion for the first time because our baby was breech at nearly 37 weeks. Cherry Blossom was an amazing place, very reassuring and healing. read more

I really wanted to like this place, and I've gotten major benefits from acupuncture and Chinese medicine in the past (living in other cities) to manage some chronic pain from an old injury. But after a handful of appointments here, I won't be back. I've left these sessions feeling worse than when I came in! Even though they've only put in a couple of needles each time (which feels more like dry needling from a physical therapist than whole body acupuncture) -- every time, I get home and find at least one in my hair, which tells me it's falling out during the session from poor placement. (I have long hair that I pull up in a bun before I arrive so it's not interfering with the treatment, so I'm bewildered how it's even getting in my hair.) The acupuncturist has felt very rushed, and she doesn't really ask questions to customize each session or make deeper progress -- it feels like a drive-thru. But most importantly, this practice is not size-inclusive! They have one-sized gown that is at least four sizes too small for me (I'm plus sized but not that I need to special order clothes or anything), and their tables are not for larger bodies, either. I suspect that's why I'm leaving that place worse than when I arrived -- I'm so tense from having to hold my body and arms a certain way to stay on the table that I never actually relax. I appreciate that they take insurance to make these services more accessible and affordable, but I've been really disappointed with my experience here. read more

My 2nd and 3rd visits were just as amazing as the 1st. My acupuncture treatment was outstanding. My pain is subsiding. The entire staff is very professional and courteous. Looking forward to future visits. read more

Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere--there are other fabulous acupuncture shops in town that are more professional and understanding than here. The front desk is extremely rude, ableist, and exacting when it comes to charging you fees and canceling your appointment (at their leisure). CBHA needs to be more concerned with their management and bedside manner than photo shoots. Do not be deceived by their nice branding and minimalist space--mind you it's *underground* with no sunlight and *next to a martial arts place* that causes constant banging sounds while you're in your "therapeutic" treatment. I've been a regular at another acupuncturist for years now after leaving, and I am much happier. I'm sure that CBHA will respond here defensively, but what they need to do is listen to their patients. read more

Just had my first acupuncture treatment with Dr. Walker and am very impressed. The experience from booking an appointment online and intake to the treatment are top-notch. The premises are clean/tidy and the treatment rooms are spacious. Dr. Walker was caring and proficient - my injury is already feeling better. This is definitely a good spot for queer folx. They also accept insurance! read more

Accept my hearty congratulations on your tenth anniversary. I have seen you make constant progress over time despite all the challenges. Nothing is a greater purpose than helping others "feel better" --- you give value to the people in society. I wish you more of what you are doing. A warm, happy anniversary to you and your team! read more

I was excited to try Cherry Blossom Healing Arts as they had great reviews. Acupuncture is helpful for my migraines and I've just moved back to the area after several years overseas. Cherry Blossom has a lengthy and extremely rigid check in process which they DEMAND that you complete prior to showing up, or they will will cancel your appointment. They give a specific deadline, at the end of THEIR workday. (As normal, this is all for the business's convenience, not the customer's.). They then offered an extension when there were technical issues. I tried for about 15-20 minutes to quickly check in, but it became clear the process demanded more time than I had, and I was not willing to spend an hour on a busy Friday afternoon dealing with this. I was forced to divert time and attention from a very busy day at work to dealing with their glitchy on-line intake system. Like many in DC, I work in a stressful position dealing with serious issues, which I can't flit in and out of easily. I do not have time to juggle insurance cards and website technical issues via email during my workday . I received a total of 13 emails from Cherry Blossom in the day before my appointment!! It's frankly stalker-ish. Cherry Blossom's staff were nice and attempted to troubleshoot the website technical issues, but troubleshooting via email is a pointless exercise in frustration. Finally I told Cherry Blossom that I would see them at my appointment time and complete their check-in process then. Predictably they cancelled my appointment. Businesses including medical offices need to understand that they do NOT have carte blanche access to customers' and patients' time and energy prior to the appointment time. This is why there is an appointment time. It's also fine to ask new patients to come a bit early to complete their paperwork. I made a Saturday appointment several weeks ahead of time precisely because I don't have time to address these issues during the workweek. I don't work for Cherry Blossom. Until such time as Cherry Blossom is paying me, they do not get to demand my time and attention to specific deadlines prior to our agreed-upon appointment time. This is why doctors' offices hand patients a clipboard or iPad when they walk through the door, and spend a few minutes on medical history at the start of the appointment. Apparently that system is no longer good enough for Cherry Blossom, which demands to hijack a large chunk of your time AHEAD of one's appointment. I'll pass on dealing with a business like this, and encourage others to think twice as well. read more

Great providers but poor management/ business practices. I was a patient here for 1.5 years and decided to leave a couple of months ago due to the absurdly high fees. It is ridiculous for a practice that relies heavily on insured patients to charge $100 (10x my insurance copay) to cancel an appointment. This practice is located in the middle of a city full of working professionals that sometimes need to adjust their schedules. It shows that taking care of paitents well-being is not the primary concern here just short term profit (doesn't even make business sense long term considering I left as soon as I was charged this and they had been charging a larger fee to my insurance on a weekly basis). read more

I've been seeing Shannan for the last month or so and it has been life-changing. I've been experiencing some general pain related to health conditions and stress and after just a few sessions with Shannan, I feel SO MUCH BETTER. I leave feeling relaxed and at peace - a priceless feeling that can be even better than therapy sometimes. read more

I have been using this team for a few months now and have received about five treatments. The office is clean and pleasant to the senses, which is a good thing for a place that is meant to make you relax. Their office manager is proficient and knows her stuff as far as insurance is concerned. I love their on-line scheduling function as well. The acupuncturist are a two-woman team who both know their stuff. I have seen both Anna and Elyse and they both know their business. Both have asked me what it is I am trying to accomplish with my treatments and have worked towards that goal. They seem to keep meticulous notes and track your progress as you go. This is great when you go from one to the other because it ensures that everyone is informed about the treatment plan, which is important to me. The best thing about this team for me is personalized care though. Both ladies are great at what they do and have never let me leave without going over the treatment received, possible physical effects of that treatment, and what follow on treatment is suggested. They both are very aware that people use their services for self-care and work hard to ensure that you feel rested, relaxed, and more balanced when you leave. I look forward to continuing my maintenance program with Cherry Blossom Healing Arts! Great job, ladies. read more

For those of you wondering if you should try acupuncture - do it! I started seeing Elyse about 8 weeks ago and when I came to Elyse I had just received some medical news that seemed pretty scary! My primary doctors were sending me for tests and MRIs... they wanted to treat me with medicine for things I felt they were really guessing about. At the same time I was in a career transition out of an incredibly stressful job and a lot going on in my personal life. It felt like everything was falling apart! I decided to give acupuncture a try mostly to calm my anxiety and stress, as I had been thinking about it for a while. I stumbled upon CBHA via a google search and saw that CBHA accepted insurance -- how great! The initial consultation was super easy to book online. Elyse was helpful in answering all of my questions about acupuncture at the session and she even put my mind at ease about the needles themselves (I hate getting shots and blood drawn)! Most of the time, I can hardly feel the needles. Now that I have been for about 8 sessions, I can tell it is working! First, I'm completely off all medications (I decided to ditch western medicine and give holistic and ancient techniques a full blown try) and I'm feeling healthy for the first time in a long time... second, my painful headaches are gone... third, my stomach and digestion seems to be much better... as well as my overall mood! A few times I have told Elyse about a pain here or there and thanks to a few extra needles, it's gone away almost instantly! Also, don't be afraid of cupping if she suggests it -- it works! I'm starting on herbs this weeks too! For those that have tried acupuncture, you probably already know that it works. I had never tried it before CBHA. What I can say to those that are looking for a new acupuncturist is, you can't go wrong with Elyse. She is warm, she listens and I really feel like she cares about her patients (keep in mind I ditched my doctors because I felt like they weren't listening and didn't truly care so this says a lot). To summarize, 5 stars: - Elyse is very personable & warm - great treatment that works - easy to book appointments & good hours - cute and inviting office - parking is usually no trouble, good location read more

Elyse is amazing. I've been going to acupuncture now for over 5 years, 1 of which has been at Cherry Blossom Healing Arts. I found Elyse's practice through Yelp, and was able to book my first appointment online and submit all my insurance detail. I really appreciate how easy it is to schedule and update appointments, and Elyse is incredibly responsive and specifically lays out insurance coverage detail (if applicable). I can't rave enough about trying acupuncture to treat both acute and long-term physical ailments. Cherry Blossom is unique in that it incorporates Chinese acupuncture style with Japanese acupuncture (points on the back), so it's a very blended approach. The practice also offers herb/supplement treatment to complement the acupuncture sessions. If you're considering giving acupuncture a try, I definitely suggest seeing Elyse. She is knowledgeable, professional, and makes you feel at ease. read more

Anna & Elyse are the best. Started coming to deal with stress in my life and they have been amazing - between techniques and Chinese herbs it has really taken my personal health to a whole new level. read more

Elyse is truly a healer. I was diagnosed with severe thyroid disease several months ago, and decided to hold off on my doctor's stern orders to begin medication and discuss surgery, in order to try Chinese herbs and acupuncture. I found Elyse and I have noticed measurable and consistent improvement in my symptoms, which is much more than I expected for only a few weeks of working with her. Elyse has an excellent bedside manner and is obviously fluent in all aspects of Chinese medicine. She's patient and really listens to you (unlike every Western-practicing doctor I've seen since my diagnosis), asks the right questions, and though I have effectively moved and it is no longer as convenient as before for me to see her, I won't see anyone else. If I had to get on a plane to see her, I would. She's just the best. read more

I've been going to Cherry Blossom for about 6 months and I just wanted to share how incredibly freeing it has been for me. I don't experience much pain, but our sessions have focused on my digestion, circulation, and anxiety. Elyse has a gift that allows me to feel more connected to myself through the acupuncture. The day of my treatment and the next I could really feel my body's circulation and energy flow improve greatly. Thank you again, I am so grateful for your work. The office space is so warm and intimate too. Elyse listens and allows for the space to really recognize the places we need healing. Her warmth and intuition has guided her to treating me in ways that are really making a difference. I was hesitant about acupuncture, but it provides a real avenue to wellness. The first few sessions, I left feeling much worse than I had when I arrived, but a few hours later I began to feel so much clearer. I just needed to relax and allow acupuncture to begin doing its work. read more

I love this team! The acupuncture service is excellent, but the care and concern for how you are feeling is supreme. You won't be disappointed. read more

Cherry Blossom was my first experience with acupuncture and it was amazing! I went in with problems due to allergies, insomnia, and anxiety. The acupuncture helped a lot as well as the personalized herbs. The whole experience was relaxing and I felt in tune with my body. I was walked through the entire experience and never felt nervous. I even eventually tried cupping! If I ever live in DC again I will for sure be a patient here again. Highly recommend! Plus it's a great location! read more

Elyse and her team are amazing. The office and rooms are so cozy, and the service and treatment always leave me feeling relaxed and grounded. Elyse has a gift not just for acupuncture, but for listening and making you feel positive and at your best. She has tweaked treatments and herbs to address specific issues (such as sleep and digestive troubles), and they have made a difference. Her warm and responsive care is truly special. If you are looking for somewhere to support your health and wellness, Cherry Blossom Healing Arts is the place. read more

My daughter has been going to Cherry Blossom Healing Arts for over two years. I finally went while visiting in DC. What an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this wonderful place. My first appointment was with Anna, and she was absolutely fantastic. I already made my next appointment as soon as I knew when I would be in the area again. Their office is extremely relaxing, clean and easily accessible. Worth the drive from Baltimore! read more

Everything about this place is wonderful, especially Elyse!! She is considerate, thoughtful, and caring and highly skilled at acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and nutrition (and I lived in Beijing for 4 years). Everything is clean and cozy, infused with a sense of nurturing and healing. She is a highly skilled medical practitioner, and will honestly assess what she can do for the medical issue you have. I have seen huge improvements. From the logistics side, scheduling is easy online, and location is easy to get to. My daughter has been a patient, and like any kid, she is terrified of needles, but Elyse's cheerful and caring manner (and the fact that they are tiny and don't hurt) put her at ease with a treatment. She has another practitioner joining, and I'm sure that Elyse will see to it that that practitioner is also wonderful! read more

Elyse is an extraordinarily gifted, thorough, knowledgeable and caring practitioner. Having worked with her for a little over 6 months, I have experienced remarkable improvements in longstanding health issues that saw little to no significant change despite a variety of other intervention methods. I have done community style acupuncture in the past and feel that the multiple modalities (cupping, moxibustion, herbs, etc) that Elyse offers is well worth the benefits as her rates are extremely reasonable. The office space is private yet warm and inviting, and the building is easily accessible and well maintained. I leave each session encouraged and feeling that I am working with a true ally in achieving optimal health. read more

It is an understatement to say Elyse and Anna significantly improved my comfort, mobility/flexibility and general well being after breaking my collarbone (which required surgery, plates & pins). In one session Elyse was better able to improve my level of pain and range of motion than months of PT did. Both women are warm, welcoming and really listen to you and address your concerns. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

I found Elyse and Anna after I was in a car accident during my third trimester of pregnancy, and they were unbelievably helpful in managing the pain and stress of the situation. After several bad acupuncture experiences, I was nervous to try it again but now I'm hooked and an absolute lifer. I'll come into their practice in pain, stressed, and frazzled, and after an hour, I leave feeling blissed out - like I had just spent an entire day at the spa. It's the best "me time" in DC and no matter your situation or symptoms, Elyse and Anna will help you on your path to wellness. read more

Cherry Blossom Healing Arts has helped me so much with my fibromyalgia pain. The treatments were so therapeutic and relaxing and the staff all know what they are talking about and take the time to really listen to you and how your body is feeling so they can accurately help you according to your needs that day. I can't give enough thanks to both Elyse and Anna for everything they do for people who can't find pain relief elsewhere. read more

Elyse has a gift! I have found so much relief managing whole body health but specifically addressing hypothyroidism and chronic back pain with Cherry Blossom Healing Arts. Elyse is SUPER attentive at every visit, listening to exactly what may be "bothering" you that week/day. read more

I've been seeing Elyse for about a year and I am so happy to have found such a great acupuncturist! Definitely one of the best acupuncturists I have had, I feel really valued as a patient. Not only is she highly skilled, as the medical reasons I went to see her for in the first place have improved, but the atmosphere of the office is welcoming, soothing, and relaxing. I would highly recommend going to see her! She also takes insurance, which is awesome. read more

Elyse changed my life! I went to Elyse to see if I could improve my fertility, and as I write this, I am 2 weeks away from my due date, and feel certain that I would not be pregnant without the help of Elyse. In addition to being an expert in her field, and is an incredible person. I looked forward to our sessions as much for the healing as I did for our conversations. I truly enjoyed every visit, and would still be working with her, had I not moved. In fact, having to part with Cherry Blossom Healing Arts was one of the most difficult parts of my cross-country move! Regardless of your situation, Elyse and CBHA can help. What incredibly good fortune to anyone who's path crosses with hers. I am forever grateful, without a way to ever express my deep gratitude. Maybe paying it forward by leading others to her is a start? It is also the least I can do! Thank you, Elyse, for helping make my dream of becoming a mother a reality! read more

You have to come see Elyse. I was very anxious when I came to the Cherry blossom healing arts for my initial appointment. You get frustrated in trying to relay your health concerns and hoping a care provider has a sufficient answer for you. Instead Elyse guides you through your own concerns about your overall well being. She is very knowledgable, affable, and strives to make the setting as comfortable as possible. I had given up on anything related to health providers because they would be reading a chart and not listening or seeking to understand where my well being stood. Hollistic is the way to go and on that journey you have to start at Cherry blossom Healin arts first. I promise you will not regret and will thank yourself later. Elyse rocks my socks so let her do the same for you! read more
