Aiyana Lent, L. Ac.

I have been a client of Aiyana Lent’s for over 15 yrs. She has successfully treated me for several conditions over the years, including severe headaches, chronic neck/​shoulder pain and once even a stubborn bout of stomach flu that would not subside. I have also recommended her to several satisfied customers over the years. Ironically, I was (and still am) afraid of needles but it turned out to be virtually pain-​free from my first treatment in the mid 90“s to present. She is as professional as she is compassionate, with a very gentle touch and caring heart. Aiyana has my highest regard and recommendation, especially if you are leary of needles or at all skeptical about the effectiveness of accupuncture.

I have been dealing with a Frozen Shoulder since April 10. I had surgery and Physical Therapy. While the Physical Therapist was great and tried whatever she could possibly think of to try and help me, nothing worked and I was in constant pain and could not sleep. I tried massage therapy and a chiropractor as well. I was desperate and miserable. I got to Aiyana via a recommendation in Sept. My condition has since significantly improved and continues to do so. I feel like I got my life back. Aiyana is gentle, considerate and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

I’ve had the opportunity to be treated by Aiyana on and off for nearly 18 years. She is not only knowledgeable and effective, but compassionate and supportive as well.
Aiyana has treated me for a number of conditions over the years, starting with neck pain and headaches. On several occasions, she’s been able to provide relief and help when traditional Western medicine was not effective. In fact, there have been at least 3 occasions when Western doctors threw up their hands and told me to just hang in there and wait it out but Aiyana was able to treat me and improve my conditions.
I have over the years seen several other accupuncturists but none of them have been nearly as effective nor as helpful and supportive as Aiyana. She is very well versed in Chinese herbs as well, and prescribes herbs to complement the accupuncture treatments.
I continue to recommend her to friends and colleagues for many different ailments. My sister, who lives in the east coast, wishes she lived closer so Aiyana could treat her.

I first saw Aiyana 13 years ago when I was suffering from horrible morning sickness during my first pregnancy. I did a lot of research and found that there are very few acupuncturists who will treat pregnant women, and must be specially trained. After just one treatment, I stopped vomiting, and had very minimal nausea. I kept receiving treatments into my second trimester to keep the nausea in check and it worked. During my second pregnancy, at the first signs of nausea, I went back to Aiyana, and it went away immediately and did not return as long as I kept receiving treatments till my second trimester. I returned to Aiyana a third time after experiencing excruciating pain and slow healing after major surgery. The treatments helped to alleviate the pain and ater every treatment, I felt my body functioning so much better.
Aiyana took the time to really understand my symptoms each time and provided great support when I needed it most. I highly recommend her as an acupuncture practitioner. Her method is gentle, and anyone fearful of needles should have no issues with the thin ones she uses. I could rarely tell when one had been inserted, and always left feeling refreshed and energized.

I have been a client of Aiyana Lent’s acupuncture for quite a while. Maybe four years. In the beginning, I went to see her for a hormone imbalance that had been causing a lot of problems for me. I was miserable. Three doctors had told me to just accept it and take hormone pills instead. I was so desperate to get better and not take hormone pills with all their side effects that I was wiling to try anything, even acupuncture. Within probably eight weeks of acupuncture treatment, everything was back to normal, and I felt better than I had in a year. I was thrilled with the result.
I continue to go because I believe that the hormones will not self-​regulate and I need to go to stay in balance. Perhaps this is not the case, but I was so miserable before that I don’t want to find out if they will revert!
As a side effect of the acupuncture, I find my immune system is notably improved. I don’t get sick nearly as often as I used to.
I requested some additional points for the tendinitis in my hand (repetitive stress injury). My hand is immediately better after acupuncture but then is re-​injured over time because I am still using my computer mouse, doing the repetitive work done to cause the initial injury. The regular acupuncture keeps it bearable.
Aiyana uses thin needles and they are not inserted very deeply. She has a soothing manner, and a gentle personality. She is very easy to ask questions of, and she knows what she is doing as she has been in this line of work for over 20 years. She can put her finger somewhere on you and you can feel a difference or a reaction. She has cleared my sinuses several times by carefully applying needles to my nose. You get a buzzer in case of any problems during your rest with the needles, and she is very responsive to any concerns or pain. Scheduling is easy and early evening or lunch times are available. The environment is clean, warm and restful.
I haven’t been to other acupuncturists, as she came highly recommended to me. I guess I don’t know if she’s as good as it gets (the 5 star qualification), but she is so good that I have never wanted to go anywhere else.
