Peace Within
Acupuncture
I've never had such a difficult time choosing what to write in a review. There are so many examples of healing, relief, comfort, and emotional support I experienced in Bree's care. Bree has made the biggest impact on my life above any other therapy that I have tried. At first I was going to her for struggles with circulation and pain. My back has been remade. My ongoing sinus problems have finally gone after years of frustration. She has pulled fever and illness out of my body when I kept my appointment even though I was sick. With Bree's treatments, there was so much success in my physical body; I felt more light and healthy than I had in years. But when the struggles of life began to overtake me and I began suffering from depression and anxiety as my relationship was struggling, I realized that she had the power to help me with so much more than just physical symptoms. Each treatment gave me a relief most people can only wish for. I felt comfortable enough to talk to her about my private emotional pain; she was the deepest listener that I knew and addressed everything with acupuncture and an unparalleled bedside manner. Before long I was sleeping again all through the night. I had an appetite. I was balanced emotionally with enough energy for clear headedness and self love. I had the courage to take action and chase my dreams. I'm finally living. I'm crying writing this, realizing what a blessing she has been. I honestly don't know what I would have done during that time without Bree.

She offers military discounts! I've been in the military for almost 20yrs and everything hurts. LoL however Bree's treatment plan and phenomenal appointment hours make it easy to book an appt after work. Best of all I've noticed an improvement in my pain level which allows me to take less Motrin (which the military hands out like candy!) and do more with my life. Any military member on the fence about paying for services out of pocket because Humana Tricare/ John Hopkins Tricare doesn't cover acupuncture, should do it. Even if it's every other week, it will help.

I have been truly touched by the amazingly insightful and compassionate care I received at PWA. Like many, I came with very superficial concerns and Bree expertly addressed them while also helping me dive deeper into my own healing journey.
I love the work we have done and am excited about the work to come! If you've been on the fence about acupuncture, look no further. I fully recommend PWA and Bree if you are someone looking for true results delivered with kindness and expertise. 10/10

Bree is an excellent provider. She is intelligent and intuitive. She has helped me tremendously in the short time I have seen her. Bree is a very kind person to begin with and she is absolutely dedicated to her craft. she puts 100% of her energy and time into every treatment. I would recommend Bree to everyone, including my family. For anyone on the fence, I come from a background of western medicine. I would recommend anyone on the fence about acupuncture to try it for at least a few weeks.

This is a follow up post about my acupuncture experience.
2.5 months ago I was experiencing extreme brain fog, migraines, muscle spasms and pain surrounding my VP shunt. For someone with a neurological condition(idiopathic inter-cranial hypertension), these symptoms are terrifying because we know what comes next. Typically, when you experience these symptoms it means a long road of CT SCANS, Lumbar punctures and prolonged hospital stays. Having surgery on your brain is not fun, totally don’t recommend. Unfortunately, I’m totally traumatized from experiencing this twice in my life.
2 months ago I started going to acupuncture regularly and detoxing from heavy metals. I learned that heavy metals in my body from the chemicals we take in daily were causing a significant increase in my symptoms.
Throughout the years, I have been told by doctors, the only way to be cured from these symptoms is to lose weight. I lost a total of 80 pounds but after that occurred I still had symptoms and surgery. The guilt placed on neurological patients is INTENSE. After I lost weight, I asked my doctor why I was still experiencing these symptoms and I was told, “we don’t know” ... ok great
Instead of continuing to live in fear of what’s going to happen next, I took my power back and found alternative treatments that have not only helped me, but have changed my life.
If you told me 3 months ago that I would feel as good as I do right now, I would’ve laughed at you. I have felt these symptoms for 9 years on a regular basis and I can truly say for the first time in YEARS, I have never felt better!
Please consider acupuncture as an alternative treatment for your health. Bree Viens thank you so much for changing my life and giving me hope again!

Bree is a miracle worker. I could hardly walk when I went to my first appointment. 3 treatments later, I’m 90% pain-free. I can’t say thank you enough.

I took a break after I had a baby in February, and boy was I a mess! Being able to come back to Brianna has helped me tremendously. I suffer from intense daily headaches, back pain, and difficulty breathing. Within 1 month of weekly treatments, I am feeling better than ever. My headaches have decreased, my chest pain is completely gone, and my back pain has decreased.
I am so grateful to Brianna!

I have been seeing Bree for well over a year! Each treatment never fails to amaze me! She is compassionate, kind and truly listens to you and your needs. My very first treatment she got rid of my acid reflux and Each treatment gets better and better! I can’t imagine not having her and acupuncture in my life.

BLUF: Yes I recommend coming to see Brianna. She treats my 2 children ages 10 and 8 and she is gentle and responsive to them both. My children enjoy coming to get acupuncture from her! She does not poke them in the same spots every time, its different depending on what's going on in their bodies. Her appointment times are very accommodating for their school hours and I couldn't be happier. Definitely bring your kids and yourself to be treated!

I have been seeing Bree for the last year to receive weekly acupuncture treatments. All I really need to say is that she is a remarkable acupuncturist, she has such a healing presence and she is a great listener who cares a lot about her patients. I feel so lucky to have Bree as my practitioner, not only she is there for me when I need her the most, she is also very compassionate and loving towards me as a patient and towards her work as a healer. I have never once doubted her ability to address my needs as I show up to my treatment each time. It has been a blessing to have her by my side in this healing journey. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing practitioner, someone who listens with compassion and patience, someone who cares for you and tends you on all three levels of body, mind and spirit. I am very thankful for every single amazing acupuncture treatment I’ve had and will continue to have with Bree.

I highly recommend Brianna. My experience as a patient under her care has been nothing short of life changing. Brianna is gentle, compassionate, knowledgeable, and is incredibly dedicated to reminding me that I am capable of bringing about my own healing. I initially came to see her for excruciatingly painful lower back pain that originated from two bulging disks. I had tried multiple things to ease the pain, and nothing was working for me. When I came to see Brianna, I was at my wits end and desperate for any relief from the pain. What I got from Peace Within Acupuncture and Brianna was so much more than pain relief. Brianna helped me adjust my dietary tendencies utilizing Chinese Medical nutrition. She introduced me to Dr. Wallach's Youngevity, an actually bio-available line of supplements which helped my body absorb the vitamins and minerals I began supplementing with. Brianna empowered me, supported me, and was the catalyst for the many positive changes I made in my life after meeting her. I cannot recommend her services enough. She offers so much more than acupuncture, which is what makes her so special and unique. She didn't treat my pain. She treated me as an individual, holistically, in body, mind, and spirit and that is why I healed. I am no longer in pain thanks to the changes I have implemented as a result of Brianna's knowledge and advice. Please, if you have never tried acupuncture, go and see what Brianna and Peace Within Acupuncture can do for you. You will absolutely not regret it.

I have suffered from back pain for 25 years. It’s been a constant struggle in my life. I’ve tried many different medications, creams and I was seeing my chiropractor twice a week. None of these treatments were effective long term. I would have relief for a day or two and then my symptoms would return, sometimes becoming worse. I was very skeptical initially about acupuncture but I was at the end of my rope. After my first visit, I immediately felt relief. After about 4-5 visits, my symptoms disappeared. I haven’t felt this good in many years and it’s been life changing for me. Bree has been tremendous and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Peace Within Acupuncture.

I began acupuncture because of my severe headaches which also caused pain to my neck and back. When I began I was very early into a pregnancy and it was not safe to take my migraine medicine . After getting several treatments each week I began to notice that instead of getting headaches every day I was experiencing then only 1 time a week and the intensity had greatly decreased. I am beginning to be able to pull back on the amount of over the counter drugs that I need to take when I do have a headache.
I am so grateful to be a patient here!

AMAZING!! Only one word needed to describe Brianna and her practice! From the first moment we met, I was so comfortable with her. She has been able to help me with so many issues in a relatively short period of time! I highly recommend her!!
UPDATED REVIEW:
I wish there was an option for a million star rating! I cannot imagine having to go back to a time where I didn't see Bree. I've never had a health care provider advocate for my health more than Bree has; not enough words to say how amazing she is! For six straight months I experienced uncontrollable & unexplainable (in the MD field anyhow) vaginal bleeding. I am not exaggerating when I say every single day, all day, all night, having to get up several times during the night. Bree worked before and after hours to find a cure for what was happening to me. I'm SO happy to say, SHE DID IT!!! She did a TON of research and put in many hours to fix not just my body, but my mind, my mental health & my soul. I want you all to know that I saw 4 different MD's, went to the ER twice and had multiple scans that gave zero answers to the problem. All these doctors have wanted to do is operate! I lost so much blood over the 6 month time period that I had to get two transfusions in order to maintain life and I'm still not back up to normal levels. Unbelievable what our "health care" field has become. I am grateful to have found Bree almost two years ago. She has helped me with numerous issues but by far, I 100% believe she has been the one to save me; not just my life, but so much more! GO, RUN, make your appointment!! You will not be disappointed!

I cannot thank Bree enough for all she has done for me! I began seeing her in January after multiple miscarriages, after one month of treatments I was pregnant! She treated me throughout my pregnancy and I had the best healthiest pregnancy, labor and delivery thanks to her treatments! I would highly recommend if you are having fertility issues! Her personalized treatments are one of a kind and if it weren’t for her I wouldn’t have my beautiful baby girl!!
