Wise Ways Studios, Dr. Lera (Valeriya) Gershevich, LAc

"Acupuncture with Lera has been tremendously helpful for managing anxiety and stress. As an acupuncturist, Lera is kind, supportive, and caring. I'm so glad I found her, and I cannot recommend her highly enough."

" Wise Ways Acupuncture is a truly exceptional healing space! Both my partner and I have had magnificent experiences at Wise Ways, and I've been seeing Lera as needed for several years. As a fat trans person, I don't always feel safe in healing environments, but with Lera, I always do. Every session starts with a check-in where she listens carefully to what's going on in my body and helps me identify my goals. The end of the session has me feeling renewed. She is thoughtful, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. When needed, she has also suggested herbs with care and expertise. If you're looking for an acupuncturist who is skilled, compassionate, and affirming, I highly recommend Wise Ways and Lera."

"Lera is an incredibly kind and compassionate provider! She has provided exceptional care throughout my IVF process and fertility journey, significantly impacting my overall health. I highly recommend anyone experiencing pain or infertility to see her!"

"Dr Lera is the reason I turned from a non- believer in Acupuncture- to an avid believer in its healing. I've struggled with severe back pain due to herniated disc and sciatica in addition to tech neck and shoulder pain issues. I relied on general medication and physical therapy, but when a friend recommended Dr.Lera, I found the relief I really needed with little to no medication. Her expertise and caring is unmatched and it has truly changed my day to day. I've also sought her help with other general pain and illnesses and it really makes a difference in a safe, natural way. I look forward to my regular appointments "

"Lera is truly the best. I saw her weekly for over a year and a half. If I hadn't moved, I'd still be going to her. She is professional, kind, compassionate, and thorough in her care. I felt at home as a queer, disabled person. She's one of the best providers I have ever had. I'm lucky to have crossed paths with her."

"Lera is an incredible care taker. She has a calm and relaxing vibe. She asks how you are feeling and tailors the care to what is happening with you in the moment. I feel so relaxed with my weekly appointments and have had much less pain the last few months since I started. I highly recommend Wise Ways Acupuncture!"

"I love going to Lera for acupuncture! She listens carefully to what you need and makes the adjustments so that you feel comfortable. Besides she is super kind and helped me figure out insurance coverage. She has helped me with back pain, knee pain, anxiety and stress and I ALWAYS feel so much better after our session. Highly recommended "

"Lera is the most empathetic and mindful healthcare worker I've ever worked with. She's very open and mindful and always asked about any updates physically and emotionally so she would know how to best treat me. I always left appointments feeling emotionally lighter and more physically capable. I can't recommend her enough."
