I had always been afraid of needles, but a friend’s astounding success with acupuncture treatments following knee replacement surgery provided the encouragement I needed to try it for chronic sinusitis and relief from foot and hip pain that ended my four-days-per week dancing activities several years ago. Within a few weeks of receiving treatments from Linda Phelps my sinusitis was gone, as in, healed. In addition, my foot pain is nearly gone, my hip pain is greatly reduced, and I am able to dance again! And there have been unexpected bonuses, too, including restful sleep and a significant reduction of hot flashes that have plagued me for the last 18 years. Much to my surprise acupuncture is mostly pain-free but never worse than a mosquito bite. I am very thankful for Linda’s gentle, excellent care, the warm, comfortable environment of the clinic and the affordability of treatments. I highly recommend

When I began treatments with Linda at Purple Dragon,  I had been dealing with a very stiff neck for about  2 months. I was able to turn it only slightly either to the left or right and was afraid of the cumulative effects on my 66 year old body. I had tried chiropractic, hot packs and stretches without much change. All Linda said was “I can help you with that. It will take a while. It’s not instant.” I came 2x/week for the first two weeks, then once/week for the next 3 months. After the first 2 treatments my sleep improved, my systolic blood pressure number decreased and my jaw (having popped for decades) began to relax. Now I have a comfortable neck and my jaw no longer pops. It is wonderful to have this affordable community acupuncture clinic close by so that I can be preventative in my health care. I love coming to my needle nap... Read more »

My family feels very fortunate to have found Linda Phelps and Purple Dragon Healing Arts. My father suffered a massive stroke while visiting Seattle. After reading how beneficial acupuncture can be in the stroke setting, we began our search. Linda graciously traveled to the skilled nursing facility several days a week to perform treatments on our father. The acupuncture aided our father in regaining his ability to swallow and regaining motor movements that were lost due to left sided paralysis. Linda’s expertise and dedication to her practice is evident. We will always be thankful for her kindness, compassion and professionalism.

Linda Phelps, LAc, has helped subside my Achilles tendonitis and Plantar fasciitis with acupuncture treatments. The pain in my heels was completely eliminated for several days after treatment, and inflammation went down as well in my Achilles so by body could heal itself. After a few more treatments I am nearly symptom free. I recommend acupuncture treatment with Linda! She is very knowledgeable, calming and gentle in her work of healing

Linda has such a soothing bedside manner.  She is very open, asks questions and really listens to what you have to say.  It is easy to relax because you just feel so comfortable around her.  With the main thing I asked her to focus on, I felt an immediate change, and it stayed with me for quite awhile.

I have a history of suffering severe motion sickness. Thanks to Linda’s treatment, I was able to comfortably attend a family wedding aboard a rented yacht. I even took a few turns around the dance floor without any nausea or dizziness. It was amazing!

While helping lift a piano onto a stage, I suffered severe back pain and was taking pain medication. After acupuncture treatments by Linda, I did not have any pain and have not taken pain killers since. I would never have believed that acupuncture could work so well and so fast.
