Success Stories
M.M.
I initially met Britta when I was going to the Daoist Student Clinic, and she was the first acupuncturist I ever saw. To say that she is an amazing practitioner would be an understatement. She made me feel safe, comfortable, and seen during my first appointment, and she was one of the main reasons I returned to the clinic. Britta is a wealth of knowledge and has a natural aptitude for caring for others. We have been working together for four months to balance my hormones, and I have seen a tangible difference from the first time I went to see her and now. I have struggled with hormonal acne for my entire life, and after working with Britta, I have finally started to see my acne clear up. This has directly resulted from her mindful integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs alongside acupuncture. I highly recommend anyone interested in acupuncture to contact Britta.

Dr. Britta is a brilliant, intuitive healer! Even from my first session with her, I felt I was in good hands and trusted her completely. I first started seeing Britta for some orthopedic injuries that resolved almost immediately after each visit. I then found amazing relief from some chronic pain and low energy issues I was having. The latest treatment I received was the facial rejuvenation which was incredible! My first treatment was several weeks ago and I am still seeing results as the fine lines around my eyes and mouth keep fading away. I always walk away from the visits feeling totally blissed out...I recommend Three Triangles Acupuncture to anyone in need of some healing (physical, mental, emotional or spiritual) and open to giving the gift of self love to themselves.
L.M.
I was incredibly impressed with Dr. Britta's knowledge and ability to convey that to someone who doesn't have as deep of an understanding of this tradition and practice. Having someone who listens and hears you when you speak of your health is rare and priceless. She has followed up with me about herb formulas and has really made this experience of working to balance my health quite positive.
P.F.
There are not enough incredible things that I could say about Dr. Britta and her practice, Three Triangles Acupuncture. She is so attentive, nurturing and truly makes you feel heard each and every time you visit. She is so knowledgeable and shares her insight and perspective with grace and personability. Your health and well being is her top priority, both physically and emotionally. What I love most about her is her consistency, checking vitals each visit and even remembering details from past sessions, and her always asking “do you have any questions?” at the end of treatment. It leaves a pathway for communication that is so comforting to me. So grateful for Dr. Britta!
S.K.
Dr. Britta treated me while I lived in Asheville using primarily herbal medicine. Her depth of knowledge regarding herbs is unparalleled! She integrates Western herbalism into her Chinese medicine formulations in elegant and creative ways. Every preparation she gave me was potent and effective, whether it was for menstrual cramps or sleep. I’m so grateful for her attentive and relentless care. Wish I was still there so I could be her patient!
E.H.
I love getting weekly acupuncture from Britta. I usually go to her for psycho-emotional things, but she’s also helped me with back/shoulder pain and dysmenorrhea. She does a beautiful job at holding space and also weaving together biomedicine and Chinese medicine, helping me understand what’s going on within my body and mind. She brings intention and care to every treatment, every needle. I feel so much better in my body and being after treatment. I am so grateful to have found an acupuncturist like her!!!
G.M.
I am a mountain biker so I end up with countless aches and pains. Britta has been able to help me with shoulder and back pain with acupuncture sessions. She also was able to clear up a pinched nerve that had been giving me pain for months in only one session. The location is super convenient and accessible.
J.V.
Dr. Britta is incredibly knowledgeable and has the ability to treat such a wide range of conditions! She has been present, caring and attentive to my needs, and helped bring me relief during trying times. I definitely recommend her services, you will not be disappointed!
C.B.
I have been seeing Dr. Britta for a pinched nerve over the last few weeks. I was in pretty rough shape when I arrived and she was able to provide immediate and continuous relief! I love the staff here, they really take care of you.

Dr. Britta is a brilliant acupuncturist and I would recommend her to everyone! She has treated me for numerous issues and helped completely resolve chronic neck pain. Her facial rejuvenation treatments are also amazing.
