Conveniently located in Lakewood, Acupuncture for Anxiety and Depression
Stress, anxiety, and depression are so common in this overly connected day and age it is hard to find someone who does suffer from at least one if not more than one of these. Acupuncture is a great solution for all three, and together we can take control and manage your symptoms without the use of pills.
Acupuncture can be a stand alone treatment for anxiety and depression, or can be used in conjunction with other therapies. I am here to support you and your healing journey along with all of your other health care providers.
In our go go go world, it can be hard to slow down and relax, but for some people it can be even harder to relax, or if they do they feel a sense of being on edge or dread. You are not alone and these feelings are all to common. Anxiety and depression can affect every aspect of our lives, from digestion to sleep, and acupuncture can work with the body as a whole to not only treat the symptoms, but treat the root cause!
Often when I am treating someone with chronic pain, emotions are another area we have to look at and treat, because often emotions are directly tied to our pain. Pain can take ahold of our entire lives, leading to feelings of isolation and helplessness. Acupuncture can help to relieve the pain and treat the underlying anxiety and depression that goes along with chronic pain.

How does Acupuncture work to treat anxiety, depression, and stress?
Acupuncture works on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, moving the body and the mind from fight and flight into rest and digest. It also releases the body's natural feel good hormones; endorphines, while slowing the body's production of it's stress hormone; cortisol.

Anxiety, depression, and stress success stories
I came to Jessie as a newbie to acupuncture. With her I found a compassionate professional who offers a number modalities that work in sync to heal what ails you. In addition, I never realized I could gain such relaxation and literally a reset of my mind and body in my time with her. Thank you Jessie for helping me care for myself! (Pam)
Jessie is wonderful! I have lower back pain along with some anxiety and trouble sleeping and she helps relieve all of it! (Kate)
Jessie is so wonderful! I was referred to her from a friend and am so glad I started the acupuncture process. Her sessions have helped me to manage my stress, knee injury, digestion as well as immunity boosts. She is so kind and accommodating. The sessions are relaxing and her hours work perfect with my work schedule. She definitely caters to your needs whatever they may be at each session. I would recommend Jessie at Denver Mind Body Essence! (Anna)
We started going to Jessie Barrett because a friend had used Jessie for years and reported amazing results. We decided to give Accupuncture a try! We are in our 60s and had never even considered it before. I don't know if all practitioners are like Jessie but she is highly trained and able to tailor treatment to the individual. It works for aches and pains, stress, anxiety, physical ailments such as illness, digestion ....I could go on but better yet I suggest you contact Jessie and ask her directly if you have questions. Give it a try! You have nothing to loose and everything to gain . You will not regret it. It is now part of my health routine in addition to sleep, exercise and eating well. (Liz and Brad)
