I’ve used acupuncture for my primary care for almost 30 years. Ciel Walko is the best acupuncturist I have ever worked with. She is an incredibly skilled and effective professional. Plus, an acupuncture treatment with Ciel has to be the best deal in town! During my treatment, Ciel is 100% focused on caring for me. She checks in with me, evaluates my pulses, etc. and strategically places needles. And she often also draws on her extensive training and experience with many other healing modalities. During a typical session, Ciel might also do moxibustion on certain needles, she might do massage, laser or gentle electric stimulation on a specific area needing additional support, or she might rub specific healing oils on a particular area. And having ever so accurately intuited my emotional state, she may spray a mist of specific appropriate oils above my head for me to breathe deeply into my lungs, she might lead me in a guided meditation and/or she might suggest one or two affirmations for me to focus on during treatment. When I leave a session with Ciel, I feel like my whole being—mind, body and soul—has been cared for.

Ciel Walko is a wonderfully caring and professional practitioner. She helped me with various treatments, such as acupuncture, ionic foot baths, deep tissue massage, and just the right supplements, some of them custom formulated for me (a 56 year old woman). I got great results with my health goals, which were; getting rid of my long term chronic pain, weight loss, more energy and that joie de vivre that I felt was missing. She also has helped me with more personal aspects in my life with guided meditations, essential oils and just a whole lot of support with deeply compassionate understanding. This, I think was probably as important as the hands on treatments, as it gave me a lot of confidence and clarity. I can totally recommend Ciel. Her way of healing is so heartfelt, she’s a very special person and I feel very fortunate to have her in my life.

"Since shattering my leg a year and a half ago, I have been through two surgeries and suffered a great deal of pain. I have spent over $10,000 in physical therapy and numerous hours in rehabilitation. Out of desperation, I decided to try therapeutic massage and acupuncture. I would never have believed that after just a few sessions I would be pain free. I have a whole new respect for this type of treatment and recommend it to everyone."

"I have a condition diagnosed as Haglunds Deformity. The condition was excruciating and caused me to walk with a limp. The podiatrist advised that it was inoperable because of the low (2%) rate of success. He prescribed the painkiller Celebrex. I tried Ciel Walko for acupuncture as a last resort. I’ve been surprised and elated with the excellent results. After three treatments I had noticeable relief. Each subsequent treatment achieved continued improvement. Much of the swelling has gone. I walk with out a limp.”

Ciel rocks! Honestly, she has helped me so much both with her direct care and by teaching me much about self care as well. Since I started working with her, my acid reflux of about 20 years has vanished and my sleep has greatly improved. Aches and pains I had thought I would have to endure have been fixed. And nothing I had tried before had successfully addressed the many challenges of Menopause. Ciel prescribed a combination of supplements and herbs that have virtually eliminated hot flashes and mood swings. Raising two boys alone, the demands of my work and the wild ride of hormonal changes can create major stress in my life. I leave my time with Ciel feeling calm, centered, cared for and totally relaxed. Ciel often reminds me that it is never too late to start feeling better. And feeling better physically has made me feel better mentally.

 "I am a professional mountain biker at the peak of my career. I am always looking for natural ways to perform and feel my best. I travel all over the world and my body is in constant need of care and repair.
Last fall my system completely shut down. I could not digest food and dealt with countless sleepless nights due to stomach pains. Additionally, I separated my ACL in an accident and was going through a painful breakup.
Through an evaluation by my acupuncturist, Ciel Walko, we found that I could not tolerate gluten. From that starting point, we began to rebuild my health. Energetix products became cornerstones of my intestinal repair. With the help of Spring Breeze and Restore Qi, my cycle has come into balance and my nerves are more at ease. Not only did my health improve, my results on the World Cup mountain bike circuit were spectacular. No longer was I struggling to recover after races.
I have been working with Ciel Walko for two years now, and I have never felt better. Not only do her treatments help my performance, her unique approach makes me feel like I just spent a day at the spa. I always look forward to making an appointment with Ciel whenever my travels take me home to Asheville."

"After only ten days of being on the program prescribed by Ciel, I had a significant increase in energy. Our entire family now utilizes all of the services offered through Temple Guardian. Our child, who was diagnosed as ADHD, literally made a quantum leap in his behavior after being on a program for several months. I strongly recommend the bio-assessment to anyone who wants to learn more about their health needs."

"I wanted to thank you, Ciel, for everything you did to assist with my fertility problem. I really appreciate the care and thoroughness you took in my situation. You have been wonderful to work with! As you know, my most recent in vitro fertilization attempt was successful and I am pregnant! This is the first time I achieved pregnancy in our long struggle to have a child. My husband and I are thrilled and so thankful for this wonderful blessing! We could never thank you enough for your help. I feel the acupuncture treatments strongly improved my physical and emotional being and allowed my body to accept this great event."
