I have been seeing Faith at Avalon Acupuncture. I highly recommend her for acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Faith is incredibly kind, friendly, caring, and has taken the time to conduct a thorough evaluation of my health. The clinic's environment is very calming and contributes to a relaxing experience. My treatments, which include needles, blue light therapy, electric therapy, heat, and more, are always effective. I am especially loving the blue light therapy and the positive health effects it has on me, in addition to the needles. I am grateful for the positive health results Faith has given me.

10/02/2025Finding the right acupuncture person is so important. There are a lot of them in this area. What made me want to go here was that this business practices Chinese medicine which is so important when you need an acupuncture person. What magic I had a Tennis Elbow issue and in one session it was so much better. Thank you for all the healing Faith I will miss you and your little pup and your sense of humor!

10/01/2025Recently I turned to acupuncture and Chinese medicine as an alternative to traditional medicine which was getting me nowhere. I found Avalon online and was pleased with the reviews and decided to call. First, I was surprised at the quick response and ability to schedule an appointment without difficulty. I met Faith Foster and was immediately impressed by her. She gave me her full attention and carefully listened and took lots of notes as I described a multitude of current symptoms and details of my medical history. She came up with a treatment plan right away and I received treatment on the first visit. I wasn't intending to leave a review after only one visit but I have already experienced a positive result in the first week. For the first time in years I am actually hopeful about my medical condition. I can't wait for my next appointment. Avalon is located in the Herald Building in downtown Bellingham. Be advised there is limited parking across the street from the main entrance so it is recommended to arrive early in case you need to find paid street parking. I highly recommend Avalon Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

She is meticulously attentive to her client's needs, both in terms of identifying and treating the problems they present with and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe throughout the appointment. I'm able to really deeply relax and let her work take full effect. I recommend her highly.

06/14/2024Faith is a miracle worker! After 1 treatment, my knee pain had diminished so much I was barely limping. She has helped with my severe arthritis, a stiff neck and I am sleeping better. I highly recommend her if you are thinking about acupuncture.

02/13/2023I decided to try acupuncture because my Lupus flare-ups were getting in the way of living comfortably and nothing else was working. Acupuncture with Faith has helped with that and so much more. I am so thankful for Faith; I haven’t had a headache in weeks and my body doesn’t get in the way of doing what I need to do every day while taking on the stressors from balancing school, work, etc. Deciding to do acupuncture with Faith has truly been life changing!! And I would recommend her to anyone that not only wants to try acupuncture but that wants the most comfortable and safe experience! Thank you Faith!!

This is one of the first places I’ve sat down at where someone has actually LISTENED to what’s going on with my body. After issues with high blood pressure, stress, fatigue and cycle concerns, I was able to get off medication and actually feel better. I went from a skeptic to a believer! Clean, patient, knowledgeable and kind care. I’d highly recommend it!

11/20/2022Highly recommended! I love working with Faith. My life took a major turn for the better starting with my first session. I live with a challenging chronic health situation that has improved with my sessions. Her knowledge, experience and compassion gives me hope and confidence in myself. Faith holds a very safe and comforting safe for healing to unfold.

11/09/2022What an experience! I never tried acupuncture or eastern medicine approaches and Faith warmly guided me through a 6 week process to help me manage my stress and overuse injuries through the peaceful and meditative process of acupuncture. It was painless and subtle. I was not suffering acute pain like many who experience immediate relief. Instead, Faith helped me re-balance and provide a weekly calming, warm, relaxing space to heal and move forward with my wellness goals. This winter she will help me with my seasonal allergies to conifers as well and I am looking forward to a more natural way to manage them. I would highly recommend working with her in her beautiful, cozy office in the Herald Building which is so easy to park and get to downtown!

11/09/2022My dr referred me to Faith for back and hip pain. While coupled with physical therapy, I experienced the most relief from my acupuncture. I enjoyed my chats with Faith and have since recommended her practice to several people in Bellingham.

Faith is wonderful. She listens to what you tell her, observes you and provides the care your body needs. I have had acupuncture and utilized some Chinese medicines. I am totally satisfied with the care I received and will continue using Avalon.

I can only say good things about Faith and her business! I came in hardly being able to stand up straight with chronic back pain that was sciatica. At the time I couldn’t sit for more than 10min without being in pain. For several months I had tried chiropractic, medications, and some physical therapy and a spineologist said I might consider surgery as an option. I reached out to Faith as a last resort and after 5 sessions I noticed a real difference. It only took about 10 sessions total for complete healing! A year later and I’ve had no back pain since! Absolutely incredible. If you’re on the fence, I’d ask yourself: how serious are you about getting better? If you’ve tried everything else, what do you have to lose? Try it for a month and then see if there’s a difference!

11/08/2021In one treatment, Faith relieved a lower-back pain that I have had for probably fifteen years. (I was so accustomed to this pain that I hadn't even seen her for that issue -- Faith checked my pulses and asked me if my lower back was hurting.) Over the years I had tried many different types of treatments to no avail, but I can't tell you how amazing it is to be free of this. It's been a few weeks now - still good. She is a healer. Thank you!
Valerie Richardson
10/18/2021Brilliant experience in such a short amount of time. Several perplexing and nagging health problems were finally shifted in working with Faith. After over half a year of trying other things and countless tests, it was her quick understanding of my system and the likely root causes and interconnections between things that made a dent in these problems. Looking forward to continue working with her in the future!

10/18/2021I began seeing Faith about a month ago. I was struggling to find an acupuncturist through my insurance company. she was the only person who help guide me through the referral process between my PCP, Ins. Co, and her. My reason for seeking her help was for the cervical pain I was experiencing from mild nerve compression, spurs on the spine and arthritis. My goal was to be pain free and not get steroid injections as suggested by my Doctors. After my 1st visit I noticed less pain. We are still working on eliminating the pain and I feel with each visit this will be accomplished. Faith is a very comfortable, warm, and knowledgeable person. Her office is clean, she only allows one person in her space at a time. I love her heated bed and the allotted time always feels sufficient. 5 stars for sure.
