Reviews of Thrive Acupuncture (Psychiatrist)

Anna MacLeod

I absolutely love coming to see Andrea. Accupuncture has changed my life. I have been coming regularly since 2019. Andrea targets my chronic neck / shoulder pain. This helps relax me and relieves my headaches and shoulder tension. I am able to destress, it’s the most relaxing therapy. I cannot say enough great things. If you have any issue, Andrea can fix it.

Andrea is exceptionally professional, knowledgable and friendly - I've thoroughly enjoyed my treatments with her. Her experience, especially with pregnancy, is obvious in her practice. You will always feel welcome and comfortable in her care.

I have been seeing Andrea for a few months and after every session I feel relaxed, calm and amazing. She is very attentive to your well being and makes you feel at ease & comfortable. I highly reccomend seeking out her services!

I have driven in from Calgary to get a treatment from Andrea for my hips. She's amazing and has been able to fix my tendonitis (in one shot, and after I tried so many other methods) and arthritic fingers. Andreas hands are magic and her bedside manner is calming and beautiful. Highly highly recommended.

Andrea is wonderful. She is so thorough and helpful without being aggressive. She’s knowledgeable and can address any/all of your concerns with acupuncture. If it’s something beyond her expertise she will make suggestions that have helped me and my family tremendously. Her energy is positive and beautiful. I look forward to my appointments with her. The results are definitely not temporary !

I have been going to Andrea for a few years. The first time I went to her practice I had really bad back pain. I was originally quite shocked that I had to climb up a flight of stairs. After my session, I was able to jog down the stairs with ease. I have never felt anything but care in her processes. Even the smallest details are taken care of: from the custom bean bag eye covers (so the lights don’t bother me) to warming my toes with the heat lamp while I am receiving treatments. I am not surprised to see all 5 star ratings on this forum as Andrea is an amazing, caring, cheerful and devoted practitioner and individual! Years ago I was sceptical of the values of acupuncture, however my wonderful experiences with Andrea have made me an advocate for this ancient art. Presently Andrea is helping me to quit smoking via acupuncture, I am excited to kick this habit and her skills are making this happen. I would have put 10 stars but google doesn’t have that option. If you’re looking for an acupuncturist, look no further. You have found Edmonton’s proverbial needles in the hay stack.

I just had my first session with Andrea. She gathered all of my relevant medical history and treated me accordingly. It's rare that I don't get a migraine after any type of therapy but I feel great today!

My first experience with acupuncture was with Andrea. I'm at all afraid of needles, but was definitely a bit nervous about having a bunch of them poked into my skin at one time. Her obvious capability and warmth immediately put me at ease, and the results of the treatments have been a cornerstone in my particular health journey. My husband actively *is* afraid of needles and after I managed to convince him to try a treatment with Andrea, he now talks about acupuncture as though it's always been a non-issue, and of course it's a great treatment, and he'd be comfortable going any time. This is a) hilarious and b) just serves to illustrate her skills and the positive experience he had.

Andrea is absolutely wonderful! She always knows exactly what to do with my treatment based on what I describe to her. Her cupping and head massages are absolutely wonderful at the end of a session. Her bedside manner is great and she genuinely seems to care about her clients. After going through some bad acupuncturists I am so glad I found her as she knows exactly where to put those needles!

Lorena Lewis

I had been experiencing unbelievable pain in my heel. After 3 treatments with Andrea I an able to start running again. I would highly recommend receiving treatment from her.

James West

I have been seeing Andrea for many years for my migraines. Andrea is so knowledgeable and is so caring to her clients. Her head massages after the acupuncture treatments are the best! My whole body is completely realigned when I am finished with a session, and I feel so relaxed. Andrea is a 5 out of 5 stars!

Andrea provides a very safe and comfortable environment for acupuncture treatments. Her knowledge and skill are excellent and she truly cares about helping people with their problems and developing a balanced treatment plan for her clients. I have been seeing her for many years and she has successfully helped with a wide assortment of issues I have had.

Andrea is an outstanding acupuncturist. I see a chiropractor and osteopath, but I would not be pain-free without Andrea. Not only does she provide regular maintenance to keep my headaches away, she's also worked miracles when I have the occasional acute challenge. Mostly recently, she cured my low-back jam in 3 treatments, after I tried chiro and stretching for weeks. Also ... she's cool and nice!

Suz

Very relaxing environment and Andrea was great.

Michelle Neilson

Andrea is fantastic. She is thorough, patient, compassionate, and professional. I have been seeing Andrea to treat skin condition and jaw issues for the past six months. My symptoms have improved significantly. I could not recommend her services more highly.

Renate Kahlke

Corey Warawa

Andrea has helped me with a number of health issues over the years - her spaces are always comfortable and calming, and the results are amazing!

Stacey Sundar

Andrea is a kind and thoughtful practitioner. I went to her for acupuncture and cupping to relieve pain from a chronic back injury. She took a detailed history, provided excellent care and gave me advice on ways to manage my pain in between visits. I highly recommend Thrive Acupuncture for anyone who is looking for wholistic and compassionate care.

Erin Schauerte

I have been seeing Andrea for awhile and she is fantastic. I have osteoarthritis and the treatment she has provided has helped immensely. She is professional and very kind and will do what she can to accommodate your needs.
