Essential médecine is a great place for healing. The space itself is beautiful, light and welcoming. Dr. Phillippi is extremely caring and through. He looks at the root of symptoms rather than trying to cover up the symptoms themselves. I have dealt with an ambiguous back issue and Dr. Phillipi has helped treat my pain with acupuncture as well as helping me figure out long term tools to minimize my pain and maintain better health in general!read more

Chris is truly a "health care provider." I have had chronic low pain for about thirty years and have tried many different forms of therapy, including other acupuncturists. Chris is in a league of his own! His treatments have made a huge difference to my quality of life. My pain level was often a 10+ and I felt pretty hopeless. Now it is at a 4 or 5 most of the time and I am enjoying life again. The combination of acupuncture, cupping, and massage significantly relieves my pain. He has also created a lovely, relaxing clinic conducive to healing. I am so grateful for the work Chris does and his commitment to caring for/about his patients. I would give Essential Medicine 10 stars if I could!read more

I am extremely active running long distance races and surfing, and Chris has been helping maintain my health and treat my various injuries for years with extreme success. He has diagnosed and solved countless injuries that would have otherwise derailed my training plans or prevented my from racing. He’s so insightful about what’s going on with my body and has explained it all to me along the way helping me to understand how to avoid injuries in the future.
I always leave a treatment feeling so relaxed and renewed. Chris has a calming and relaxing personality that is infectious. The new location is beautiful and adds to the whole experience.
Couldn’t recommend this guy enough.read more

I'm grateful to Dr. Chris. It was a holiday and I thought I was not going to be able to find help. After reading his amazing reviews I reached out and luckily was able to make an appointment. He helped me ease my back pain. He went above and beyond using accupuncture, hot stones and cupping to ensure I left his office feeling much better than when I arrived. Thank you so much!read more

I had my first massage with Lana last week and her touch is pure magic. My body and mind have been feeling relief since I left her 4 days ago. I’ve sought healing through massage in the past, knowing how integral it is to the body’s overall wellness. However, Lana was the first to really pay attention to my body’s specific tensions- the sources and how it’s manifesting in my daily life. She is extremely knowledgeable as it pertains to the body’s functional anatomy and acknowledges the emotional body’s contribution to where we place and release tension. If you look for connection and someone who truly tunes in while addressing your wellness from the inside-out, Lana is for you! We ask so much of our bodies and while most view massage as a “treat” during spa day 2x a year, we live better on every level with monthly and bi-weekly therapeutic maintenance like the kind Lana offers. The pricing is accessible and designed to give you ongoing support. Do yourself a very necessary favor.read more

Dr Chris is “essential medicine! I’ve had acupuncture treatments by this kind, sensitive, and extremely professional Dr. I’m in my late 50’s and athletic, and I have my “weak spots”He found them all, and not only did I find the treatment extremely relaxing,I felt rejuvenated afterwards! He is truly gifted!! I’ve also had the pleasure, and privilege of having a “Lana”massage . Her gentle, but strong hands seem to be driven buy something divine ! Absolutely the best massage I’ve ever had, and I’ve had plenty… She was able to release so many of the nights I had in my upper back and shoulders . I felt so relieved . Prior to the massage I felt like I was walking around with my head on my shoulders.. no neck! She gave me back my neck! Whatever technique she is using for cupping was so effective as well. I would highly recommend this dynamic duoread more
