Lyndsay, the owner of Five Element Austin, is a godsend. Not only for me but for everyone who goes to see her. My company alone has maybe 8+ Lyndsay worshipers. After seeing the remarkable changes in coworkers around me, I finally got on the wait list and man am I grateful that I did. Lyndsay has transformed my mind, body, and soul. The best part, this is not your average Acupuncture practice, where someone comes in, puts a bunch of needles in you and leaves then comes back 30 min later and you're done. I've been to many of those practices around town, with ZERO results. Lyndsay starts each session by understanding what is going on with you not only physically, but emotionally. She is with you the entire treatment, reading pulses to understand where blockages are formed and then works to open them up. Every single detail is thought through and explained. From the first treatment till a year and a half later, I walk out feeling like a new human. My stress levels, on average, are through the roof, my shoulder, back, hip pain constant, hot flashes, psoriasis, you name it, all manageable now thanks to her and this practice. There is no way to vocalize the feeling you get after treatment, it's like a rebirth, I kid you not...you walk out feeling superhuman. If you are looking for someone to help all things you, this is the place. Five Element Austin transformers mind, body, and souls. You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Went to see Beverly for a session and had never done 5 Element acupuncture before. Beverly is an extremely caring and confident practitioner and does a great job of asking questions and assessing what your needs may be, as well as making you feel comfortable. Before our session, I was feeling very mentally off, energetically blocked, and creatively stagnant. I left the first session walking on air, feeling clearer and more rooted in my body than I have in a long time. The effects have been profound and empowering and have continued to last, especially after our follow-up session. If you have never done 5 Element Acupuncture, it is an entirely different experience. I am sold!! Especially for any sort of emotional, energetic, or creative blockages or imbalance. This is your place, Beverly is definitely your gal!! read more

I recommend Lindsay extremely highly, especially if you are dealing with a chronic health problem. The following is a long story, but the short of it is that Lindsay is my lifeline for keeping my autoimmune condition in check. I can't explain in biological terms how acupuncture works, but I can tell you that without Lindsay's attentive care, I would have to take immunosuppresants which would wreck my immune system and leave me very vulnerable to various forms of infection. Quarantine and germ-paranoia would be my new "normal" without her amazing work. It's hard to express in words how grateful I am to have her in my life. I've been suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis with wandering joint and tendon inflammation for my entire adult life (since age 19). Thankfully it was wandering and migratory for most of this time, so the downsides of treating my condition the "standard" way (immunosuppressants) outweighted the benefits. In 2018 it took a really nasty turn, and at the end of the year, I was at the point where I was having difficulty walking because of frequent knee and ankle inflammation, and worse still, unable to effectively use my right hand because of trigger finger that stabilized for a period of months. It was time for me to swallow the bitter pill and take immunosuppressants. I tried everything under the sun that there was any research literature in support of (AIP elimination diet, actual medical Keto with ketosis greater than 3mmol/l, cryotherapy, fish oil, curcumin, ginger root extract, boswellia, and much much more). A dear friend of mine recommended I give classical acupuncture a shot, and I sought treatment with Neil Gumenick in Santa Monica per his recommendation. Having a materialistic science-based worldview, I was extremely skeptical that acupuncture would work, but figured I had nothing left to lose by trying. Much to my surprise, within a month the improvement was so dramatic that it became clear I didn't have to give up having an immune system for the rest of my life to keep my condition stable and manageable. The finger joints that already had accumulated some arthritic nodules gradually became better and better, and over the coming months, the nodules had decreased to the point of being barely noticeable at all. My state was more manageable and mild, still with some minor migratory flare-ups, but nothing like the serious state I was in before acupuncture treatment with Neil. In late 2019, I decided to make the move to Austin, TX, and was willing to fly back to California every single month to continue treatment with Neil. Unfortunately after the move, I had a lapse in treatment before I finally resumed, and paid the price with my condition dramatically worsening. Whatever doubts I had in my mind about whether the acupuncture was responsible for my improved state were gone. Once I resumed treatment, my condition stabilized once more. As luck would have it, one of Neil's best students, Lindsay, happened to live and practice in Austin! I quickly began seeking treatment with her, and my condition was relatively mild and very manageable until the COVID-19 situation and I could no longer see her in person for a while. Predictably, my condition has worsened as it did before during my lapse of treatment. She has been extremely supportive and helpful, doing remote accupressure sessions, which has kept things a bit better than they would be otherwise, but I am very eager to resume seeing her in person. Even through these difficult times, Lindsay has been a wonderful source of support and care. In short, I am a die-hard skeptic that has been convinced by Neil and Lindsay that classical acupuncture can be a very powerful way to treat certain kinds of diseases, and I would recommend Lindsay highly to anyone who needs help. She is my lifeline, and my quality of life would suffer dramatically without her. read more

I've seen Lindsay a few times in her newly renovated office, which is only five minutes from the old location. It's spacious, bright, immaculate, and she is the only service provider within her business. Temperature is taken upon arrival, and she conducts a brief Covid screening prior to each treatment. Her space is private and comfortable. Grateful to have found her! read more

I first went to Lindsay for treatment about 12 months ago. I was VERY skeptical since i had a bad experience with my first Acupuncturist i had tried a few months earlier. Giving Lindsay and Five Element Austin a try was the best decision i could make. I was thoroughly surprised and pleased with the level of care I have been receiving. She was able to target not only my physical issues but also my emotional issues, bringing me back onto a path toward complete wellness. The location is central and easy to get to. The environment is caring, calming, and soothing. I always leave Five Element Austin feeling 10 pounds lighter. If you're struggling with any personal issues, pain, anxieties or stresses, please do yourself a favor and see Lindsay. You won't be disappointed. read more

So I've been seeing Lindsay for about a year and a half now and my opinion has not wavered one bit. She was instrumental in helping me figure out that my mystery health problems were actually Lyme disease. She's an inquisitive, intelligent healer. Always learning (and teaching me), trying to keep me on track. I am endlessly thankful that I get to know her and be treated by her. This review has turned into a testimonial, but I hope it helps you understand how much of an impact that Lindsay can have on your situation. read more

Lindsay ROCKS. I just finished my third session with her yesterday (three in about six weeks, I want to say), and I can definitely tell a difference from before I started. She's personable, professional, and clearly genuinely cares about her patients, which is awesome. I'd done acupuncture before and not got the results I wanted, but was recommended five elements acupuncture by someone I trust, so I wanted to give it a go, and I am SO GLAD I did. read more

It's been a couple weeks since I last saw Lindsay and I am still feeling the positive effects of her treatment. I'm so grateful that she's in Austin. Definitely go and see her- there's no one else like her. She really takes the time to get to know your issues and tailors her treatment to the individual with great care and intention. You can tell that she really cares about her patients. She was able to help me when I needed it most. I'm already looking forward to going back. read more

I found my way to Lindsay and her Five Element practice through a recommendation of a friend. This friend was telling me about a recent treatment received and presented Lindsay's approach to health and realignment as one that actively considers emotional and spiritual well being as part of any remedy applied to physical malaise. I was in need of Lindsay's services this past Fall due to extremely irregular menstruation offset by an IUD extraction. The month before seeing her, I had heavily bled for three weeks straight and was feeling very weak for it. I acknowledged that my body was in a reset transition and that in order to responsibly see to that resetting, I would try Five Element acupuncture. To speak to the physical outcome first, my cycle regulated within 6 weeks. Within that time, I had a initial appointment and then a follow up about four weeks later. Since that second appointment, my period is more regular than it has ever been. I couldn't be happier with the results. Now, to speak to the less expected results of Lindsay's treatment is to speak to an opening of sorts in which concepts of authenticity and comfort reign. Relationships are complicated and only made to feel more so if the relationship you hold with yourself isn't maintained. Lindsay's work led me to be connected to a sense of self far larger than previously known. She introduced a certain element of peace to my being present within my becoming. In a world where it can be hard not to feel busy, I couldn't thank her more for this gift. read more

Lindsay is a gifted healer and thanks to her, I am now out of a long cycle of grief and loss. I was recommended to Lindsay by way of a reading with a gifted author, Jean Haner, who does Chinese face reading. She took one look at my long suffering eyes and sent me a link to Lindsay and Five Elements Austin. What a gift and a transformation this has been for me! After the first session, I felt such joy and hope that I was going to be OK, I felt pulled out of hopelessness into the light. Now as we work together, I continue to feel more clear in my thinking and able to move forward from a previously stuck place to a new career and more enjoyment overall. I truly appreciate that Lindsay often recommends that I see my medical doctor and respects both eastern and western healing. She believes there is a place for both and that we need them. Lindsay is also very resourceful and takes into consideration your whole life balance and has encouraged me to date again and explore fun things again. I highly recommend Lindsay for your healing needs as she is an amazing healer and guide on your healing journey. read more

I have been seeing Lindsay for a few years now and she is fantastic! Going to see Lindsay is like an acupuncture appointment and a therapy session all in one. She really cares about you and your health. I also like how each appointment is tailored to my needs at that specific time. Try her out and you won't be sorry! read more

Lindsay is an incredibly intuitive and skilled practitioner. She takes time to truly listen to your needs and develop a treatment plan that best addresses concerns, whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. Each time I leave her treatment space, I feel as though a significant load has been lifted. She has gone to great lengths to ensure safety during covid-19 in her space (which is a beautiful and calming spot!). Now that I live far away, I see her via telepractice sessions, which are still very helpful and informative (and honestly fun)! Five Element with Lindsay is unlike any other acupuncture care I have received and I whole-heartedly recommend her services. My only complaint is that now I live across the country and can no longer see her in person! read more

Lindsay is extremely skilled, compassionate, and professional.  I cannot recommend her practice enough.  For me, it's acupuncture and therapy in one and extremely healing.  Each session is tailored to my specific needs and she never rushes.  I appreciate that Lindsay brings together eastern and western medicines and the importance of both in achieving results.  I under-appreciated how much the mental affects the physical until our sessions, and Lindsay offers great ideas on what to do at home in between sessions.  Also, her new place is beautiful, sunny, and very clean. read more

I have been to countless acupuncturists and have never experienced one who is more efficient than Lindsay. Most acupuncturists treat symptoms, but Lindsay treats the root cause. Besides being enjoyable and genuine, Lindsay's treatments are successful and worth the time and cost. read more

I absolutely love Beverly. I had been wanting to try acupuncture forever and I'm so happy I found her and the Five Element practice. Five Element is a very holistic approach to care, addressing the specialized needs of an individual not only from a physical standpoint but emotional, psychological and spiritual as well. It requires the practitioner to be very present, a great listener, and of course very knowledgeable. Beverly possesses all of those qualities and more. I initially began seeing her to address ongoing hypothyroid symptoms (despite somewhat "normal" bloodwork results), as well as pretty intense menstrual pain that I believe may be partly caused by hormonal imbalances. I have tried dietary changes, supplements, and several other natural approaches to address these issues over several years, with little to no real results. After my very first session with Beverly, my menstrual cramps were nearly non-existent. I almost couldn't believe it. Over several months I've noticed that when I see her regularly, this continues to be true. I also just feel better and more energetic overall after I have had a session with her. I am excited to continue my treatments with her and continue seeing improvements! Thank you Beverly!!! read more

Beverley is an amazing Acupuncturist, who has extensive training in Traditional Acupuncture and the Classical Five Element Acupuncture tradition, which she is currently practicing. I have been receiving treatment from Beverley for almost two years starting when she was getting her Masters in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at AOMA and I followed her into private practice after her training in Five Elements at her California school. Her caring heart, and her will to heal the soul are so very apparent and she is quite skilled at what she does! If you want to try a different type of acupuncture that is different from just getting needles stuck in you and being left alone for 40-60 minutes, Beverley is your woman to go to. She is in the room with you throughout the entire treatment and you are receiving treatment for "the 5 elements" the entire time of your procedure!!!! Say yes to Beverley's helpful, healing hands! read more

I cannot say enough about how amazing Lindsay is at what she does. I have been to other acupuncturists and really felt nothing. But with Lindsay I feel instant results both mentally and physically. As a new mother, I have worked with Lindsay for weight loss, back pain, stress, and depression. Every time I see her I feel like I have had the best massage and full night sleep all in one. I walk into her office exhausted, and I walk out feeling centered and energized. Unlike other acupuncturists I have seen she does not put the needles in and walk away. She spends a lot of time reading the body and tweaking the treatment points to make sure they are the most effective. If you are considering acupuncture, I wouldn't go anywhere else. It is the best decision I have made for my self-care. read more

Lindsay is awesome. I'm definitely a skeptic about acupuncture, but needed some help with stress management and personal issues. Seeing her has helped me gain perspective and shift priorities in my life, and I feel more calm and empowered than ever in my life. I always leave treatments feeling spiritually and physically energized, and this feeling lasts quite awhile. I look forward to her expanding her hours so that I can go every week--twice a month is great, but more will be even better! read more

I was referred to Lindsay by a specialist I was seeing for fascia issues and lack of range of motion, primarily in my hips and back. She was at least the 5th or 6th person I'd been to trying to get pain relief, a decent nights sleep and some flexibility and movement back in my body. Although I was very skeptical of acupuncture and non-traditional treatments I was at a loss as to what to do next as MD's had not been able to help me. Fast forward 8 months and this skeptic is now a firm believer in Lindsay and Five Element acupuncture! Not only am I in a much better place physically, my mental attitude has improved as well. We still address those troublesome areas when I see her but she has has also treated and helped me with seasonal allergies, eczema and overall well being. I can't speak highly enough of Lindsay and her practice Five Element Austin, I would highly recommend her! read more

I met Lindsay at an event a few months ago and had wanted to come in for a treatment sooner, but didn't get around to it until my migraines were intolerable and I needed help! She's been wonderful! I had my second treatment with her today and plan to continue with the course of treatments, because I do feel like I'm getting better all around. She genuinely cares and really listens to your concerns. I've had acupuncture elsewhere, but I feel like I trust her more than other practitioners I've seen. Highly recommended. read more
