Acupuncture Testimonials —

Whether it's sleep you lack or you're pretty sure your chi is missing - Ayaffa in Woodinville is the place to find them. Owned and operated by Elisha Weinberg, Ayaffa offers healing and relaxation through acupuncture, energy work and more. I visit Elisha for knee pain, pre-natal care or sometimes, because after weeks of eastside to city commutes to an executive job, I need some peace and relaxation! Ayaffa offers a wide variety of services for both men and women and promises a relaxing, healing experience. What more could you ask for?
Jane S.

I cannot recommend Elisha and the services at Ayaffa enough. She is a truly remarkable healer. I have dramatic results in my health every time I see her. I have made it a point now to see her on a monthly basis to make sure my health is finely tuned. Elisha takes time with you to understand your needs and concerns, and then prescribes an effective treatment plan for whatever ails you. Every time I go in, the whole experience is relaxing and fun. Elisha provides you with so many alternatives to today’s health issues that would normally require a more invasive approach by traditional western medicine. I am so grateful for what she has done for me!

Elisha has that rare gift of excellent technical skill and deep spiritual understanding of energy... love... and the healing power of intention. She moves seamlessly between the day-to-day expression of issues to listening skillfully to the 'body-as-voice-box' of the soul — and applying healing art.

I found Elisha while researching acupuncturists in the area. I spent a good week trying to pick the perfect one for me. I had narrowed it down to three when I was just about to stop searching. Suddenly, Elisha Weinberg popped up. I can’t tell you why or how but something inside me said, “She’s the one!” I was relieved to have been so sure of something since I had been battling deep depression, high anxiety, sleepless nights, painful menses, and to top it off…Crohn’s Disease. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s over 10 years ago and had obtained depression and anxiety through the medication I was prescribed, for my disease. I had tried gastroenterologists, gynecologists, physicians, naturopaths, psychiatrists, psychologists, surgeons, the list goes on. You name it…I saw them. None of these doctors had made a dent in my psychical/mental ailments. I was at the end of my rope and unable to see the light. After my first visit I felt different. I felt like I had just got back from a year long soul search in just one hour of treatment. I see Elisha once a week and it is always the highlight of my week. I feel completely calm in her presence. I’m still amazed that all these issues I had at my first session are hardly a problem anymore. She has an exceptional healing touch and energy. She is not just an acupuncturist. She has an all in one approach. She listens and truly cares. I feel like I’ve got my authenticity back, my passion for life, and my charisma! Thank you, Elisha!

Elisha is a profoundly gifted practioner who manages to get to the core of whatever is stuck in you and gracefully and thoughtfully manages to align your body, mind, and soul. She has created an environment that is totally relaxing and healing. Its the only "errand" that I do that my seven year old son gladly comes with and hangs out in her beautiful, peaceful waiting room. I love how I feel after a visit to Ayaffa and its an integral part of my plans to live a healthy and active life.

I absolutely love working with Elisha! She is so much more than just an acupuncturist, she is a true healer. She listens with compassion and is extremely skilled. I now see her on a regular basis, several times a month, because I know that whatever ails me, either physically or spiritually, she will help me feel better and truly heal myself. It is a blessing to have someone to turn to when the "traditional" medical doctors say there either is no issue or there is nothing they can do. She has treated me for a whole range of ailments — including pelvic pain, ear pain, TMJ pain and allergies — using acupuncture, herbs, and acutonics (deep sound vibrations). She has also treated my 5 year old daughter and is great with children. If you want to work with someone who will be your partner in helping you live a balanced and healthier life, call Elisha!

I'm very happy to have this opportunity to share my experiences as Elisha's client. I have a chronic condition that has taken me to many different healers, in many different modalities. Elisha is one of the most gifted healers I've encountered. What impressed me first was her enthusiasm about acupuncture, Acutonics and Chinese herbs. She believes whole-heartedly in these modalities and communicates this passion in everything she does. This confidence assures even the most uncertain client that they're in the right place. Similarly, I was impressed by Elisha's attitude toward disease. She never suggested that I was coming to her as a "sick" person. I simply had a very treatable imbalance. This attitude was key to developing the hope and sense empowerment I was able to bring to my own healing.

I suppose the most impressive and valuable gift that Elisha brings to her practice is the healing power of her touch. After just a couple of treatments I enjoyed a significant improvement in my overall state of being. After time, I realized that the moment I got on the treatment table I felt instantly better, even before the first needle went in! Elisha's presence and my confidence in her abilities were enough to bring immediate relaxation. And this, I believe, allowed for deeper and longer-lasting benefits. I tell everyone I know, "This woman is gifted!" I feel very fortunate to have been in her care.

I have followed Elisha from her beginnings as a student in Chinese Medical school because I was hooked from her first treatment! I would, however, like to speak to her ability to manage trauma. Recently, I had a relatively severe bicycle accident that burned off most of the skin on my left side and fractured my pelvis. In addition to home office calls while I was unable to walk, Elisha quickly put together a health care team consisting of Cranial Sacral Therapies and Chiropractic. In addition to the Acupuncture and herbal therapies, these other treatments got me walking far in advance of the projected timelines. Elisha's knowledge and treatment plans in this situation have changed what could have taken all summer to heal, into a quick and total recovery. I highly recommend her for whatever ails you.

Dear Elisha— I want to tell you how thrilled I am with the results of my treatment with you. I have struggled with acne and sensitive skin almost as long as I can remember since I was a teenager. In fact, last summer as I was turning 38, not only was I still dealing with acne, but started developing symptoms of Rosacea. When I finally started coming to you for treatment, the results were almost immediate. Within two weeks the redness was leaving my skin and I stopped experiencing flushing. My breakouts were less severe right away, too. Now, after 6 months of treatment and using Spirit of Beauty products, my skin is looking great. For the first time in my adult life I am not embarrassed by my skin's appearance. I am seeing an incredible amount of rejuvenation, and when I do have a breakout it is much smaller, less severe, and resolves more quickly than ever before. My only regret is that I didn't find you sooner!
Marcie

I have never been to an acupuncturist before, but my accountant told me I needed to see Elisha…for a badly sprained ankle…I mean it was bad, I couldn't walk at all…I crawled up her steps…and after her amazing treatment…I walked (okay, hobbled) out of there…It was truly amazing! I am so thankful that I was able to fully recover in half the time the hospital said it would take!!! Woo-Hoo!

After injuring myself while weight lifting and having a negative MRI, my physician told me to come back in 60 days if the pain didn't go away. In the mean time, my hobbling around caused my sciatic nerve to become irritated. I tried to relieve the pain through chiropractic and massage with only temporary relief. A week before my follow up exam I followed through on a referral to Elisha. Within two sessions I went from pain that prevented me from sitting for any length of time and sleepless nights to being 95% pain free and sleeping through the night! Elisha is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone who has any kind of pain. Cheers,
Mark Madison

I am fairly new to the acupuncture experience and didn't quite know what to expect…WOW! During the treatment, I feel like I am in another world with no daily stresses. After the treatment, I not only feel like I have had a whole night's sleep, I have an incredible sense of well-being that stays with me. I would recommend Elisha to any and everyone (and I already have).
Cyndi

My acutonics treatment with Elisha was an otherworldly experience. I felt so at peace as she stimulated various points on my body with the tuning forks. The melodious sound washed over my body giving me a sense of strength and clarity that I have never felt from a treatment before.
Jen C.

I called Elisha when I hurt my shoulder. It has hurt on and off for about 2 years along with an increasingly stiff neck and back. She made room for me that night and I went in with a stiff and painful shoulder and neck. By the end of her treatment the pain I had been experiencing was gone and 4 days later still does not hurt. She used a number of different methods of healing with me, the combination of which was gentle and exactly what I needed. She is truly a gifted healer.

Ayaffa Facial Lift Testimonials —

I'm in my early fifties and I've been hearing for a number of years that I don't look fifty. I'm not exactly sure what the real fifty is supposed to look like, but decided I didn't want to find out. I started to look closer in the mirror and try to notice if a wrinkle or line increased over the course of a week. I was thinking this skin aging could sneak right up and take over. My Grandma would be proven right that all of the years of sun worship and Ivory soap washing would cause wrinkles. How fortunate I happened to hear this amazing woman, Elisha Weinberg on a radio show talking about Ayaffa and her facial lifts. After talking to Elisha initially I wasn't sure I could follow any regimen/protocol where I needed to wash my face a.m. and p.m. and apply products in a specific order. However, something was different about the way she believed from her heart in the products and the facials that I committed to a package of 8. What a wonderful journey. I looked forward to each and every facial and now plan to return at least monthly for ongoing tune-ups. I can't imagine not having this incredible pampering from Elisha available. I look forward to washing my face a.m. and p.m. and applying each and every Spirit of Beauty product. Thank you Elisha for saving me from hearing the voice of my Grandma's "I told you so". Treat yourself and you will be on the leading edge of the facial fountain of youth!
Linda B

Elisha puts her heart and soul and wisdom into each treatment. The facials are the most transcendent body work I have ever received. It is pure bliss, it is deeply relaxing and healing and one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

I was skeptical after the first few treatments but Elisha said I wouldn't see significant results until after the 4th treatment and sure enough, my skin looks so much better after #4. It is glowing and fine lines are beginning to disappear. I am very happy and would love to do them forever!

I was fortunate to have crossed paths with Elisha at Seattle's Green festival. It was very busy there and I did not get the chance to talk to her but I entered her drawing for a free acupuncture face lift. I was thrilled when I received an email a few days later notifying me that I had won!

This treatment went way above and beyond my expectations. Elisha is an incredible healer and has a very nurturing and rejuvenating space. She has a very accurate intuition that allows her to address all the areas that need attention. I am a massage therapist and am very picky about who works on me. It is very hard to find someone like Elisha that is so grounded and able to tune into her client with undivided attention. The treatment I received was much more than a facial; it was a profound healing experience. I am now more grounded, centered and relaxed than I have been in a long time. I am so grateful for this amazing experience.
Carissa Garrard

I have been seeing Elisha and using the Spirit of Beauty products for two months now. The results have been amazing! As a teenager and an adult, I experienced decades of cystic acne. As a result of the acne, I have lived with acne scars that were difficult to recognize until my skin began to change in my mid forties. I assume the change was due to decreased collagen. For years, I had routinely treated my skin aggressively to stop the production of oil and to limit outbreaks. In my mid forties this was becoming more and more difficult because my skin had also become dry. I had tried many different types of facial products, including peals and micro derma abrasion, searching for what to do next without any lasting results until I met Elisha.

Elisha explained that my skin was very dry and needed more oil which, of course, worried me after years of praying for no oil! The Spirit of Beauty products are nurturing and hydrating to the skin and I was hesitant to use them, but after the initial treatment my skin looked amazingly different. Since then I have religiously used the Spirit of Beauty products and now enjoy healthier, younger looking skin. Acupuncture also eliminates scaring so my acne scares have definitely decreased. So much so, that I frequently do not wear any makeup because my skin looks naturally beautiful!
Marie Manuchehri R. N., Energy Intuitive

Bliss… pure bliss. I have never had a treatment where I actually felt like a Goddess before. Like I was the most pampered person in the universe. Elisha says she nurtures souls, and she does. The experience was like a journey through all my senses. The music soothed me while her hands were so gentle yet releasing. The neck rub is what I remember most… and all the hot towels… they were perfect. Afterward my skin was radiant. It actually felt alive. While the aroma of the products first smelled strong to me, now they are what I crave first thing in the morning and before I go to bed. I have created a whole new ritual around giving myself this gift for my skin and for my soul. The texture of my skin is changing and my eyes are even brighter. Each facial seems better than the last and my face keeps looking younger. Elisha is so talented on so many levels. She not only makes you feel totally comfortable but she heals what ails you. I have a very stressful and demanding job — but it all seems like a distant memory after her treatments. Even if you think your skin is perfect (I did) I strongly suggest signing on with Elisha before she's got a waiting list… it would be awful to have to wait for this! Pampered beyond belief,
Fiona W.

The soft hum of the tuning forks is utterly relaxing, nicely punctuating the beginning and end of the healing experience. As I drifted in and out of a blissful slumber all worries seemed to melt away. From the top of my head to the tips of my toes I felt peace and contentment. The acupuncture was a revelation; I could feel the years of acne scars leaving my face, as if a weight had been lifted. My facial muscles, normally clenched and sore, softened under Elisha's care. Leaving the office I could feel the lingering resonance of the tuning forks, reminding my body to maintain the balance and calm achieved during the treatment. After the treatment the skin around my eyes was firm and lifted, and I felt relaxed and incredibly invigorated. Even my husband complimented me on my youthful glow! I would recommend this to everyone who wants to return to having beautiful youthful skin, or for those who want to stay there indefinitely!
Rachel B.

Elisha's facial was absolutely entrancing. I spent an hour and a half feeling absolutely pampered and relaxed. The Spirit of Beauty products that she uses in the facial were so luxurious; I absolutely fell in love with them. The scents with in them were beautiful and it was great to have such a natural and locally produced product introduced to me. As for results, I had some acne scaring that I was extremely self conscious about, and when I looked in the mirror the night after my first facial, they had significantly diminished. That was after just one treatment! I firmly believe Elisha has put together a mind-blowing package that really puts the "traditional" spa facial to shame.

I am a 59 year old woman and have completed 4 of my 8 acupuncture facials with Elisha. I am delighted with the results. My husband who wasn't totally a believer in this process; told me the other day that the lines on my forehead are getting less pronounced. I did not ask him for this comment it just came out. Elisha uses her knowledge of Chinese Medicine, wonderful Spirit of Beauty products and facial techniques to make my skin more taut and youthful. Elisha's demeanor and peaceful treatment space nourishes my spirit. I always leave her space feeling totally relaxed. I am looking forward to the results of my next 4 treatments since the first four provided such a dramatic improvements. Thank you, Elisha.

Recently I've begun a facial/acupuncture program with Elisha Weinberg. Having never done either, it has been a completely new experience for me. I must say, I've found it to be a lovely hour and a half escape from the stresses of the day. It's an incredibly relaxing treatment that makes me feel oh so self-indulgent. So far, I've had 2 treatments and used the recommended products exclusively for 2 weeks. I can truthfully say that I'm very happy with the results. My skin looks and feels wonderful — glowing and soft. The wrinkle areas that Elisha has targeted with acupuncture are noticeably improved in depth and appearance. Surprisingly, the needles do not hurt at all and the facial massage is heaven. I could fall asleep I'm so relaxed but I wouldn't want to miss a moment of the pampering!
Randy H.

I will fully and happily admit to being skeptical of the very idea of combining needle prods with a usually calming and relaxing facial. However, I was up against a wall. I had a big family event looming in a few days and I needed all the help I could get! Elisha is located in a charming village in Woodinville, and I really felt like I was at a special retreat. As Elisha starts to work with gentle and steady hands, delightful scents of lavender and other wonderful botanical notions from amethyst-lined bottles immerse the air — removing all cares and worries from my mind. She placed warm stones between my toes and massaged my feet and calves in addition to my neck and shoulders. Elisha delicately worked her craft around my face persuading my "chi" to flow to appropriate areas of my face reducing my lines, firming my skin and reducing the bags under my eyes. Looking at myself in the mirror after the treatment was a complete shock! The skin of my face felt firm, soft and looked years younger than when I arrived. There was no oily residue or shine like other facials I've had. It was truly amazing. I plan to go back every month!
Liz R. Former Dowdy middle-age client

I have been using the Spirit Of Beauty products for years. Elisha recommended that I have a Spirit Of Beauty Facial Lift to compliment the products and really give a boost to my facial regimen. I was hesitant to book a Facial Lift primarily due to my intense phobia of needles. I thought my skin was looking good considering my 58 years but I decided to make the appointment. My experience started with a consultation with Elisha, the acupuncturist. I learned how some of my current health concerns were tied with some of my skin issues. I, for instance, had no idea that Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs were used to treat Menopause. I was nervous about the needles, but the treatment was over and I only experienced bliss! The results on my face were very noticeable! A deep wrinkle that was located between my eyes had disappeared. It has not returned a month later! My skin is much firmer and healthier looking! My cheekbones are more defined. The Ayaffa Facial Lift gave me a higher level of spa treatment than I had ever experienced as well as incredible results! The Acupuncture changed something in my body and I look forward to my next treatment… this time without any hesitation. I whole-heartedly recommend this treatment to everyone… whether you think you need it or not!
