Reviews from Verified Clients

Gillian is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and comforting. She takes the time to understand what is going on for you, and quickly develops a plan of treatment to address your concerns. I’ve had her work on everything from specific physical pain to psychological and spiritual grounding work. Gillian helpfully explains what she’s doing and why, so you always feel connected and in control of what’s happening. Every session, I leave feeling restored and grounded. I can’t recommend her enough!

Gillian is incredible! I have been going to Twelve Rivers for three years based on a recommendation from a friend. Gillian’s combination of kindness, wisdom, active listening, and sense of humor is a rare find. Gillian truly cares about her clients: I live with a soft tissue disorder and PTSD, and she adapts our sessions to make me comfortable. The cupping therapy has done wonders for my chronically tight neck and shoulders, and her encouragement to connect with a naturopath helped solve a mysterious GI issue. I am always eager to recommend Twelve Rivers to friends…and strangers 🙂

I have been working with Gillian for a few years now, at least. She came highly recommended through a very visited, illustrious spa in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Gillian has lived up to my every expectation. She gently leads me down a 2-way conversation regarding lifestyle, diet, and habitual body maintenance, then applies acupuncture and remedy accordingly. I go to her every time I need a reset, when I feel tired. It works every time.

I have been seeing Gillian for almost 3 years now, and she has been an integral part of my healing process from PTSD, and the various ways it presents in the body-mind. Over this time, my needs have changed gradually, and Gillian is very intuitive in knowing what to tend to each session. She is attentive and insightful, listens with compassion and nails it every time with the chosen treatment!I have been particularly pleased with the herbs for ongoing insomnia issues. I highly recommend Gillian, she is a treasure!

I came to Gillian during a time of great upheaval and transition. I’d hurt my back, and what struck me most was how carefully and deeply Gillian listened to me. I noticed she listens on a couple levels. The first level was about my pains, and second level listening felt on the intuitive level. Somehow she understood how I’d hurt myself and symptoms she was seeing were related to a general lack of support. Underneath that she saw or felt a lack in early nurturing. The work with Gillian ended after a few sessions with back pain resolved, and, it’s weird to say, but feeling my cup was more filled up. I felt a hollowness in me had filled in. She somehow stimulated a greater ability to nurture myself. I’m forever grateful for this insightful work with her.

Gillian was referred to me through a mutual friend and I have never been happier with a connection like this.

She has taken the pains, aches & truly the stress of 20 years as a professional chef and allowed them to melt away. Through her incredible energy and attentiveness she has made me feel welcome, heard & appreciated every moment i am in her company.

The best part of my month is when I get to allow her to work her magic and pull away any stress or pains I have been holding on to.

The value with her is certainly more than surface deep

Gillian has my utmost respect as a practitioner. I am grateful for Gillian’s treatments that help bring me down from seeing the world through an anxious mind and into a way of being that is more aligned with myself and my values. While on the table I feel cared for, safe, and excited for new acupuncture points to surprise me. On the couch, Gillian skillfully connects my life with the lives of my kin and consistently brings up new viewpoints that offer me a chance to heal. Thank you Gillian!

Gillian is one of the best practitioners I have ever seen. I have never been treated with more respect and understanding for illness from a holistic, whole person perspective. Gillian doesn’t just treat the symptom I come in with she looks at everything I am dealing with and asks how I am feeling and designs the sessions to provide the best support for my entire body. These sessions are the most incredible healing moments in my hectic schedule.

I have been seeing Gillian for several years for a wide range of issues, some chronic and some acute. I always feel better after treatment. Gillian has expansive knowledge in eastern medicine, and has offered a range of approaches (like herbs, dietary suggestions, and supplements) that have been extremely effective. She is also a kind, intuitive and understanding listener. I highly recommend and trust her.

I have never felt so heard while seeking treatment anywhere. We may all be aware that health professionals of every walk can ignore your concerns. Gillians approach is soft and gentle in guiding you.

Gillian has been a blessing in my life. Gillian is able to listen to her clients needs and truly address, their problem areas. You will be thankful to have reached out to Gillian and in the long run your body will thank you.

Gillian is intelligent, thoughtful, kind, and I generally always feel a positive difference after one of her treatments. I recommend to anyone curious about TCM and or acupuncture

I been receiving care from Gillian for a couple of years now. She is a compassionately listener and healer. I always feel better after seeing her and am so ready to see her when my next appointment comes up. I whole heartedly recommend her!
