“I have been going to Shirliey for almost two years now through so many phases of infertility, IVF, miscarriage, and now pregnancy! She has been one of the only constant practitioners I have seen throughout the process and she is truly a gifted and essential godsend. In addition to helping me to (finally) achieve pregnancy, she has also helped to balance my spirit and body as a whole as I've navigated this super stressful time. I've done both weekly acupuncture and Maya massage her based on different things going on with infertility treatments, diagnosis, and more. She is incredibly knowledgable in both and how to use both in tandem to heal. She is a great listener and a wealth of knowledge beyond just acupuncture, providing dietary and at-home healing techniques for everything from bloating and stress to indigestion and allergies. I love talking with her every week to debrief how things are going, and also appreciate her practical and direct but caring communication style. I've celebrated and also cried with her and consider her such an important part of my care team. I cannot recommend Shirliey enough!“

“I had never received acupuncture treatment prior to my first visit with Dr. Alison Winters, but after several months of treatment I cannot imagine going back! Alison is empathetic, kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. Her ability to focus on my physical and mental needs while providing excellent holistic service is truly remarkable. Ever since my first visit, I've been singing her praises to anybody with ailments that could benefit from Alison's care (so basically everybody I know). If you are on the fence about trying acupuncture or are considering switching to a new provider, go see Dr. A!“

“I have been receiving acupuncture treatment from Shoshana for many years and she has helped me so much. She is an extraordinary acupuncturist and I highly recommend her.“

“Rachel Alkire -- what a gem!! She is one of the most genuine, caring, generous, and thoughtful practitioners I have come across in the medical/healing space. At 38 weeks pregnant I had an acute/urgent issue and even though I hadn't seen her for an appointment in many months, she immediately responded to my message with a phone call and provided a wealth of sage knowledge and advice. Both her kindness and her holistic medical wisdom shine through when you interact with her. Highly recommend.“

“Both clinician Mel and supervisor Dr. Venn were professional, thorough and friendly in their assessment, and I got useful feedback and information about my treatment. They answered my questions, and I felt seen and respected.“

“Deanna was so intuitive with her treatment and helped me get to the heart of the matter. She is deeply knowledgeable and confident as a practitioner. A world class acupuncturist!“

“Jenny is an amazing healer. I started going to her when I was pregnant and she helped me with nausea and fatigue. Now my son is 13. She has treated me for so many different issues through the years--treating my asthma, healing from pneumonia, dealing with frozen shoulder, hormone imbalance and most recently, a knee injury. She is so experienced that she is always fast and efficient. I find relief within jus a few sessions. And her wit and wisdom are an added bonus! I can't recommend her enough.“

“Maki is a gifted healer! She treated me 8 months post ankle surgery when I was still walking with a limp, especially after short runs. After the first session, I ran a mile and had no limp afterwards - I couldn't believe it!! And then in a few more sessions, she helped breakdown scar tissue from the surgery, and refined my gait.Maki is very thorough, sensitive, and knowledgeable. Her office is spotless and very comfortable (so relaxing that I always fell asleep).Thank you, Maki!!“

“Srinika was wonderful to work with. I came to her with persistent digestive issues and after thorough testing we found the solution that was right for me. I haven't had any of my symptoms return since following her recommendations and dietary changes.“

“Wow, I did dry needling here and it totally saved me. My planter fasciitis is gone! I can’t believe it.“

“I’ve been a patient of Sean for about 15 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient with his extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine. In addition, he has excellent bed side manners. You are in excellent hands at East Bay Acupuncture.“

“Natura is truly the definition of world class care. Jane is incredible when it comes to targeting acupuncture areas for any and all ailments - she and Derek have helped me recover from a back injury, beat insomnia and find peace during stressful times.The experience of going to Natura is always one of professionalism and respect - they meet the client where they are and take account of symptoms each visit, to stay in tune with any new or developing issues. Can't recommend enough!“

“Short version: coming here truly helped me to heal from an ankle injury. I highly recommend John Luna-Sparks for any help with pain! His caring attitude combined with his extensive knowledge make him an amazing provider.Longer version: I had an ankle injury, with damage to various tendons and ligaments, keeping me not only from walking as much as I’d like but also from driving.My regular doctor did a quick video visit with me and then gave me some generic exercises to do.My friend, an ER nurse, recommended John for sports medicine acupuncture. He spent quite a bit of time assessing me and explaining to me in detail both my injury and the treatment.I felt results quickly. Though total improvement took time, the visits made noticeable difference.John was caring, supportive, informative, and overall just wonderful to work with!“

“Juliana is extremely generous with her time and an all-around lovely human. When you're with her you know that you're in the hands of someone who cares about you and your health and making you feel as good as possible. I always leave feeling relaxed and loose and like I'm ready to take on my week. I also love that Juliana really *hears* me when I tell her about something that doesn't feel right in my body. She trusts my own intuition and that's something I struggle to find in other venues. It feels amazing to have someone listen to you, someone who keeps updated on multiple aspects of your life from week to week, and who is genuinely determined to make your life as healthy and happy as possible.“

“Dr. Johns is a truly talented clinician - he's kind of magician . also he's and warm and caring human.“

“I came in for PTSD symptoms (sexual trauma). When my boyfriend mentioned acupuncture for his back pain, he mentioned many other ways acupuncture can help a person. I was very excited because of the reviews but extremely nervous for the actual experience. I totally misjudged the guy in which I automatically asked for a female in order to feel more comfortable. I didn't mean to offend anybody. Long story short I ended up going after my boyfriend. First off, Charles was very sweet and calming. I felt very relaxed and safe during the whole experience. I felt as if all the bad memories were okay because the physical pain was getting cleansed out of my body. Since I'd been having horrible stomach problems and I'd stress out immensely. Right I felt like myself and present in the moment. I noticed a de clutter in my mind & my body felt light as a feather. Very amazing experience. Definitely going back again!“

“Grace is a gift! We've been working together for the past many months and every treatment is curated to my needs at the time. She has supported me through loss, celebration, and transitions in life. Each treatment begins with a check-in, which importantly includes my emotional state. Then she adjusts the needles according to my emotional and physiological needs. Her touch is so gentle and I feel incredibly calmed after each session. She's offered guidance for how to improve lifestyle outside of the sessions too. I am truly grateful to work with such a gifted practitioner“

“Kokko Wellness is a wonderful place. When i have acupuncture, I prefer they follow the treatment with acupuncture as well. Kokko Wellness does that each time. Really helps with the progress of healing. This is based upon my 20 plus years of reaching out to acupuncturists. And the staff is great.“

“Marie is a gifted healer. She has supported me throughout my pregnancy and I am so grateful to have incorporated her gifts and skills into my permanent health care regime. I highly recommend giving her a try if you are remotely curious about how acupuncture may be able to help support you in your personal health goals.“

He is thoughtful and has a gentle touch. I am slowly healing my chronic low back/ hip pain through work with Alexis. I am very grateful to have found this practice!“

“Dr. Wang (pronounced W (ahhh) ng, is very intuitive and has helped me with everything from frozen shoulder to the common cold.He offers a traditional technique, not a lot of chit chat after the first initial appointment and gets you up on the table with needles in before you can say Xie Xie, ("she she" : thank you).IMO receiving regular Acupuncture treatments keeps me well.Dr. Wang is a teacher of Herbology and is also a trained Doctor of Neurology in China. He still teaches a few days a week. He has a great new office near Albany Trader Joes! Get yourself some Acupuncture today!“
