"Patrice is a miracle worker! Due to severe endometriosis which resulted in surgery, my doc put me on a very strong hormone pill to suppress my cycle for almost a decade. I'd always been nervous about going off this pill. Would I be in severe pain again? How long would it take for my cycle to come back? Would I ever be able to become pregnant?
I have been amazed at the effectiveness of Patrice's treatments. Everything "snapped back" to normal in a matter of months, which my docs have been surprised by! (they thought it would take much longer) Also, I have literally ZERO pain with my cycles now! I used to have to take prescription pain meds each month and miss a day of work, and now I'll pop a tylenol, maybe, but don't even feel like it's necessary. She literally cured my endometriosis and only wish I'd known about her 10 years ago!
I appreciate Patrice's professionalism and dedication to her patients' respective journeys which are often quite emotional. She feels like a true partner in this journey and is so knowledgeable about womens' health issues. I always feel so much better after I see Patrice - both emotionally and health-wise!"

"I have been a client of Patrice Hapke on and off for 6 years. She helped me deal with pregnancy and postpartum related health issues throughout the births of my two children.
Patrice is an extremely knowledgeable practitioner. She brings a warmth and kindness to her practice that help you feel immediately at ease. She is patient and respects where her clients are at, never pushing you in to anything you are not comfortable with. In addition, she bills insurance, making it much easier for those with coverage to use her services.
As a parent educator and consultant, I meet a lot of women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I refer clients to her regularly and all have been grateful and happy with her services."

"My midwife referred me to Patrice when I had elevated blood pressure toward the end of my first pregnancy. I found the accupuncture sessions with Patrice to be very pleasant, relaxing and restful. Patrice helped me to relax and keep my blood pressure at safe levels. Patrice also provided birth preparation accupuncture, and I can report that my unmedicated labor experience was all the better for it. Patrice is an expert in her practice and is also a warm, caring and fun person whom I am so grateful to have met. I regularly recommend Patrice to friends who are pregnant for birth preparation accupuncture."

"My midwife referred me to Patrice when I had sharp pains in my lower back, at about 7 months pregnant. Patrice has been able to address all of my aches and pains, frequently eliminating them after just one or two visits. I've come to spend all week looking forward to acupuncture - Patrice has a great bedside manner, and always seems happy to answer my endless questions."

"I came to Patrice with unrelenting upper back pain that frankly I thought I was going to have to live with. I'd been to acupuncturists before who had never gotten to the root of it. The morning after my first session with Patrice, my back pain was appreciably better ... and gone entirely after my second. It was really extraordinary. Perhaps even more powerful was the interview she sat down to have with me before our first treatment, in which we discussed at length my health history, menstrual cycle, eating habits, and general wellness issues. As a result of the information she gleaned from this she recommended a Chinese herb blend that has reduced my general anxiety, and almost entirely eliminated the PMS I've lived with for nearly 40 years. Patrice's calm serenity and her broad comprehension of Chinese medicine have added up to an experience of profound healing for me."

"A good friend first referred me to Patrice’s practice because I was suffering from a horrendous sinus infection. The infection completely cleared 3 days after my treatment and I needed another reason to see this miracle woman! Lucky for me, I was also a chronic night tooth grinder. Once again Patrice worked her magic on me.
Now my husband and I planned on having children in the future, so I said goodbye to my birth control and consulted Patrice on the best way for me to cleanse my body and prepare for pregnancy, in the future. Six months later I was pregnant! Oops! A little earlier than planned but we were ecstatic nonetheless.
I continued to see Patrice for just about every pregnancy ailment one can have ... my first trimester was not very glamorous as I practically lived over the porcelain throne. That being said, the treatments I received did help tremendously; so I was able to eat and keep it down to help the little one growing inside. As my pregnancy progressed my achy muscles and shifting bones were eased with thoughtful treatments from Patrice. The little one really enjoyed those appointments; he started kicking every time we lay on the table. My due date came and went and I needed to get the little one OUT! I saw Patrice one last time while pregnant as she worked her magic once more.
I had an induction scheduled for the next week, but the Friday after that treatment Enzo came naturally, just the way I had envisioned it.
Patrice did more for me than just ease my pain, she helped relax me, and she listened as I discussed options and the scary medical system we face here in America. As I was contracting I could hear Patrice telling me to breathe, relax and let my body do the work. Even though she was not present she was there with me. Acupuncture has become a great natural way for me to heal my body and soul. I couldn’t imagine going through my pregnancy and birth without Patrice and the acupuncture treatments I received."
