If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Walda is an incredible practitioner with deep knowledge and understanding. Walda delivers treatment, advice and recommendations to follow - all have been very supportive to me. She has been an integral part of getting me through a very challenging time health wise for which I will be forever grateful. Walda also runs a very organised and structured practice.

There are not enough stars available to rate how wonderful Walda is. I’ve been seeing Walda for acupuncture for several years, and I’m not exaggerating when I say knowing her has changed my life for the better. She’s incredibly kind and creative, always trying new things to adapt to whatever area we’re focusing on. Her technique with the acupuncture needles is also incredible. If you’re considering acupuncture you should book with Walda now!

I had never thought about seeking acupuncture services until several months ago following my wife's surgery in February of 2016. I initially requested a session to support my wife, but quickly learned that I was able to benefit personally from acupuncture as delivered by Walda Laurenceau. Since that time, my wife and I have had regularly scheduled sessions and love the care and attention that Ms. Laurenceau provides in her delivery of care.

Walda is incredibly thoughtful and provides a holistic acupuncture experience. Even if you've never tried acupuncture before I'd recommend trying it out!

My experience at Root & Essence Acupuncture , from my first session it has been life changing. It was my first time having acupuncture. The Acupuncturist was very professional and skilled in her techniques. As she work on any area of my body she would explain the purpose for doing it. I felt very relax and valued. I talked about my experience with many of my friends and recommend that they have try it. Thank you Root & Essence Acupuncture for caring.

I was experiencing excruciating ocular migraines that hindered my ability to work effectively and interfered with my livelihood. I also have SLE Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis (Autoimmune). Prescribed migraine medication was not helpful. As a last resort, I decided to try Acupuncture. Walda Laurenceau, was able to alleviate my migraine symptoms and manage joint pain.

Walda at Root & Essence has changed my life. I originally sought acupuncture for a knee injury. I have always been interested in eastern medicine, and off of the recommendation of a friend, I tried Walda. Upon my first meeting with her, she asked me a bunch of questions about my life and well being. It turns out that it wasn't necessarily my knee that needed treatment. There is no one size fits all approach with Walda. She customizes and REALLY works with you, your mind, body, and spirit. Walda has helped me improve my diet, my sleep, my cycle, and my overall anxiety. Walda is invested in her clients.

Walda is an exceptional acupuncturist. She is highly professional, personable and empathetic. She was extremely welcoming and her gentle manner combined with her attention to detail would put any nervous patient at ease. She gave me a comprehensive assessment and her holistic approach leads to a very healing treatment session. I am looking forward to my next treatment!

Her care, knowledge of nutrition, acupuncture skills and technique used to tackle my sometimes out of control IBS symptoms, as well as the anxiety that emanates from this condition, has helped me to get control of these daily symptoms. Walda is a very thoughtful and caring practitioner.
