Chi Bioenergetics is beyond expectation. It is more than a massage or bodywork it is an experience…read more The safe space he has created is comfort to your senses using aroma and sound to relax amongst other things. Brent is attentive, observant, intuitive, compassionate and straight forward. His experience is undeniable once you have begun working with him. Yes, it's more costly than most, but worth it. He has obviously invested in his own healing creating a more meaningful session. I have been able to release pain that has been with me for years and was increasing before I went. I have no doubt it would have eventually debilitated me. Listen to your intuition and book it.

I don't often treat myself to massages of this quality, and honestly, it's usually outside of what…read moreI'd normally spend. That said, Brent's work is truly something special and worth every penny. I've had many massages over the years, and Brent provides some of the best bodywork I've ever had. Our session was about 2 hours and beyond just his skill and understanding of massage, he weaves in other elements that make the session feel like much more like an experience than just your run of the mill massage. He incorporated cupping, aromatherapy, singing bowls, and other techniques that made it feel like i was getting a full body detail . He's calm, grounded, and doesn't force conversation. He seems very attuned whether you want to chat or simply relax and enjoy the work. I left feeling deeply relaxed, restored, and genuinely cared for. If you're looking to spoil yourself and invest in your well being, I can confidently say Brent's work is worth it. I plan on coming back for more.

First time seeing Dr Kar, for acupuncture. Great front desk experience. Office space was beautiful…read moreand relaxing. He was not only gentle but knowledgeable, making me feel at ease throughout the session. It was easy to talk to him and I felt well cared for. I'm definitely looking forward to returning for future treatments!

Dr Kar won SB Independent's "best acupuncturist" in 2015 after being first runner-up for years…read more I am just in town for a year and asked my chiropractor, Dr Neal Barry, for a referral. He sent me to Dr Kar. My family friend at the Cape, related by marriage to the former director of Music Academy of the West, asked her for a referral (not knowing I was already set) and she too recommended Dr Kar. When I walked in, I remembered I'd come in 2000 during a time of such turmoil I didn't even recall having gone in for a session. (I have a Marilu Henner-ish memory, which really speaks to my state of mind at the time.) In college, I struggled with digestive issues. Then I was fine 25 years till menopause and it's been touch and go the past few years. Dr Kar is truly the best. He's incredibly intuitive and comes from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. My doctor in New York is fantastic but after the session, I felt as though I had had 20 mg of Valium. Just remarkable. He prescribed herbs (I'm a skeptic but he kindly waived the new patient consult up charge so I acquiesced). They worked but I need to reduce the dose (3 pills 3x a day was too much). I'm here to write a difficult book and will probably go twice a month, but to start, I'm going two consecutive weeks. Pay cash if you can to avoid the 2.7% credit card fee. Parking is easy on State Street, especially in a pandemic, where for no reason this New Yorker and rational individual can fathom, people are still paranoid. Absurd. Every few weeks I look at the death toll for the county (423,000) and shake my head. For a YEAR, it's what New York had on a semi-good day. And by New York, I mean the city, not the Fingerlakes or God knows what upstate place that city people never go unless they own a house or know someone with a country seat.

If you're looking for an acupuncturist / alternative medicine in Santa Barbara, Channel Acupuncture…read moreis where you need to go! Matt is very knowledgeable and it's apparent he really cares for his patients. I've been to quite a few acupuncture clinics in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and I'm so glad a friend referred me to Channel Acupuncture. After each session I feel less stress, tension, and pain in my body, and my head feels more clear. Parking is easy, scheduling an appointment online is easy. Thank you Matt

Matt is a fantastic healer. My shoulder hurt so much lying down that I could no longer read in…read morebed. One acupuncture treatment from him was all it took and I can now read in bed. I now go in occasionally for a tune up or for various aches and pains. Matt's acupuncture treatment is more effective and soothing than a massage. I enjoy my time with him because he is professional, experienced, and caring. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Erick is a miracle worker. I call him the woo woo person. I'm not a person that goes to the doctor…read moreand now I'm 70 so sometimes I get aches and pains.I don't want to go to the doctor and have them give me an MRI and then give me pain pills and get on that treadmill of drugs. I've gone to him when my sciatica was acting up, I've gone to him when my jaw was clicking, I've gone to him with lower back pain. It's usually not an instant cure. It usually takes a couple times, depending on what your problem is, but he's really good. Do a search for balancing motion and it will explained to you what he does.

Although I enjoyed the treatments I received, and had a initial improvement, in the long run I see…read morelittle to no benefit in my condition. Moreover, upon receiving treatment Eric promised to provide me detailed billing I could give to my lawyer for reimbursement since my claim was from the auto accident that was not my fault, however he never provided me the billing statements and stopped communicating with me as soon as I was done with the visits that I paid cash for. He told me he was having his own health problems and stopped answering my phone calls or emails. It would have been quick and easy for him to write up a billing statement for me and I consider his behavior extremely unprofessional in this regard.
