Acupuncture in Palo Alto

“I am a lawyer at a tech company that manages a lot of stress (close deals worth billions), and I was looking for an accu that can help manage my lifestyle. I have stress and issues sleeping the entire night.

If you come across this place consider yourself truly blessed. I have seen more than a dozen accus throughout my life due to being in different job locations and know when someone is talented. Yaping Chen is so amazing. In one month working with her, my anxiety is barely there (it doesn't surface through the entire day) and I can sleep through the nights with no issue.

Yaping has this unique, unworldly way of working with people. Her heart is completely in her work, and she cares so much about her patients. She intuitively knows where blocks are in your body w/o you having to say much, and uses CranioSacral Therapy as a healing technique (that not many people know). Each accu session has brought so much joy.“

“Alicia is such a gem. I went to see about 10 acupuncturists before finding her and have now been seeing her over a year, through may different health challenges and experiences, and she always helps me find resolution. My sessions with her are profoundly relaxing, I consistently find pain relief for various injuries, and I got pregnant swiftly after years of chronic illness through my care with her. She listens very attentively and I always feel that she deeply cares about helping me feel better. In times when I see her a bit less consistently, she always checks in with me via messaging. I'm so grateful to have found her on my health journey!“

“This is long overdue. I visited AJ for a full ear/hand/foot massage several months ago, and really enjoyed it. It was incredibly relaxing, and I enjoyed chatting with AJ. If you're at all curious, I recommend giving it a try -- I've noticed more positive impact from my sessions with AJ than with other types of massage or acupuncture.“

“Dr. Weiss cured me of debilitating migraine headaches. I had been taking very strong medicines since I was 15, and never imagined acupuncture could help. I went to see him because of tendinitis in my hands. I was in my mid 30's by then. He always asked me about my health in general, and one day I told him my medication had been discontinued and the new one they prescribed did not work. That's when he offered to try acupuncture. I laughed at him, but trusted his skills and gave it a try. I remember Dr. Weiss every day of my life!! I sometimes get headaches (any pain killer will work for it,) but I have not had a migraine in 20+ years. Thank you Dr. Weiss!!“

“I have worked with Jack who owns Soothing Hands for more than 15 years and am always amazed that his deep tissue bodywork and accupuncture are able to relief my chronic and sometimes severe back pain. I've had several blunt trama injuries to my neck area and have a stenosis in my lower spine that causes recurring pain in my lower back, a sciatica that radiates pain down my leg and a neuropathy that causes numbness in my legs and feet. Jack has always been able make the pain go away for a year or more at a time, but when it comes back, he is able to pinpoint the areas causing the problem and, within a few sessions, bring about relief. I highly recommend his work!!“

“All my aches & pains & stiffness goes away after every massage I get from Massage Therapy Center. I had Susan today & she was really great. I feel more flexibility in my joints & muscles. I've had physical therapy to address these issues in the past but they were never resolved. Massage therapy works best for me.“

“They did a good job- however what I had done probably wasn't what I needed- not their fault. Tech was very knowledgeable and concerned about me and how I felt.“

“Dr. Torrens is amazing! I love having a doctor who truly listens to my concerns, takes the time to answer all of my questions, and is clearly invested in my health. Her passion for naturopathic medicine and willingness to dive deep into the root of my issues have made a significant difference in my wellbeing, and I feel safe and assured in her care. I would recommend her to anyone in the Bay Area!“

“I've gone here at least half a dozen times at this point, and am quite fond of it. It's affordable, the atmosphere in the massage rooms are nice, and for the most part the staff is skilled. I get the deep tissue massage and each masseuse does it slightly differently, so you'd want to specify a specific person if you want something consistent. But I don't mind going in without knowing exactly what I'll get, which makes booking an appointment same day always doable. Big fan!“
