I cannot recommend Dr Katie Ngan enough! I originally came in to see her for tennis elbow, and I was blown away by how quickly she was able to resolve it. Since then, she has helped me with several other issues using a combination of acupuncture and chiropractic care. What I love most is her holistic approach-- she looks at how everything in the body is connected. Dr Katie is skilled, thoughtful, and effective. I highly recommend her. read more

New to acupuncture and chiropractic services. Researched businesses with the best reviews. Ahimsa Wellness has phenomenal and exciting reviews. Enough to convince someone who is scared of needles but interested in the results, to try it. Hopeful for relief from current ailments, I booked an appointment for a 90 min. consultation + chiro and acupuncture session. In the notes I communicated that I am scared of needles, the doctor quickly cancelled my appointment within the same day. She did refer me to another business, but can't find them onyelp ... they only have a Facebook profile for their business. It seems as though Dr. Katie isn't interested in first timers that may be scared and require adjustments or more attention. Thankful for the quick turn around so we can avoid a potentially troubling experience. read more

Dr. Katie is magical. We came to her with fertility struggles in 2020 when we were starting IVF. Since then, my wife saw her throughout the years through 2 successful IVF transfers for our oldest and middle child.

Dr. Katie is fantastic! I have been going to her for a few years now. Her practice is easy to get to, and the space is small and comfortable. She is kind and highly accommodating, always making sure I'm comfortable with climate control, and a heat lamp. She is very knowledgeable and experienced, and I appreciate that she tailors each session to my needs--whether it's an area to focus, use of TENS device, or some chatting while needling. Her technique is especially effective, much more so than my experience with acupuncture through Kaiser, where they used few needles per session. Highly recommend! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Katie for over 2 years now. Most recently she saw me on a day off to help me through a very painful neck tweak. She was patient with me, calm and very comforting. I found relief the day after I saw her and was finally able to sleep at night. I am forever grateful to her! I started my journey with Dr. Katie while pregnant with my second child. Her prenatal approach is very gentle and calming. She carried me through a very comfortable pregnancy and focused on helping me deliver without needing an induction. She really cares for her patients. I fully recommend her to any friend who is looking for acupuncture/chiropractic work. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Katie for about a year now. She is so in tune with my needs. My left hip had been hurting for almost a year and a half before I made my 1st appointment with her. Since then, we have worked on multiple areas of discomfort equaling to a whole body healing journey. My hip is finally feeling better! We've done acupuncture, cupping and acupuncture with electrical stimulation. Each one of them have helped to recenter and reset my aging body. Thank you Dr. Katie!! read more

I was traveling up north to visit a friend and I needed some care. Thank God I was able to get in to see Dr. Katie Ngan who had a last minute opening. She was very sweet and goes above and beyond !

I have been coming here for two years now and my only regret is my work schedule hindering me from making more visits. Dr. Katie Ngan is an exceptional healer who is patient, intuitive and has the best grounding/centering energy. She always takes time to listen to my concerns and tailors each acupuncture treatment accordingly. She also offers herbs to treat a variety of ailments. I used the calming herbs and found them extremely helpful. I ALWAYS leave her office feeling better than when I came in. The treatment rooms are spa like with gauzy curtains, calming music, Himalayan salt lamp, warming lamp, and comfortable treatment beds. read more

Dr. Ngan is absolutely the best. She is knowledgeable and truly cares for your well being. Give her a call as she is simply amazing!

Fortunately, I found Dr. Ngan through my Cigna Insurance carrier after my traumatic car accident. I had numerous sessions this year which have been very helpful for me. She's also assisted with other medical concerns. Dr. Katie is knowledgeable, offers advice, understands Ayurveda (which I find valuable) and has natural supplements which can also assist in healing. Dr Katie conducted a thorough interview before treatment. I've also had cupping done for my back. My pain is alleviated and I go back for on-going maintenance and energetic balancing. The environment is cozy, quiet and feels spa-like. She plays relaxing spa music which helps me to relax. The aromatherapy is pleasant. It is easy to schedule with helpful reminders. I highly recommend Dr. Katie Ngan. read more

Thinking about acupuncture? Katie is a kind and very caring person. Gary S. read more

Dr. Katie Ngan, DC, LAc at Ahimsa Wellness, is everything I look for in an acupuncturist! She goes above and beyond for her patients and the results are amazing. When we moved to the East Bay, I was eager to find an acupuncturist and Dr. Katie Ngan was recommended to me. She is a thoughtful listener, attentive, and helps you feel comfortable and really seen. Receiving accupuncture from Ahimsa Wellness helps me manage my depression, anxiety, and joint pain. I look forward to going and how much better it helps me feel. I could not recommend this practice more! read more

I have been seeing Katie for several months to help with overall health issues stemming from mental stress, a soft tissue injury in the back of my knee and frozen shoulder. She has been working diligently with me using needles and also recommended TCM, both which have helped significantly. She is promoting my healing more than the numerous specialists I've been seeing. She listens carefully to feedback and cares about her patients. I highly recommend her. read more

Dr Katie Ngan is the absolute best. She is Professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. I was treated for anxiety, hormonal imbalances, neck and shoulder pain, all of which were greatly improved after my sessions. I would highly recommend Ahimsa Wellness and Dr Katie Ngan to anyone suffering with pain or imbalance. read more

Katie is a godsend! She specializes in pain management/treatment, but treats other conditions as well. I started seeing her for a myriad of issues resulting in fatigue and brain fog. Over the course of my 3 months working with her I've seen steady incremental improvement. This is amazing as I had seen 4 acupuncturists prior and I regularly see a naturopath, but had been unable to make progress in those areas. I truly believe Katie has a gift, she is passionate about helping her clients, is vested in your healing process, and exceptional at what she does. It doesn't hurt that she has a good sense of humor and makes Acupuncture nearly painless. On a side note she was able to remedy my stiff neck in one visit! I couldn't believe I'd walked in to an appointment with a limited range of neck motion and walked out pain free with a full range of motion. She marry's chiropractic with Acupuncture exceptionally to treat pain. I plan to see her regularly as long as she is in practice! I'd highly recommend booking an appointment if you'd like to focus on overall wellness or treat an acute/chronic condition. read more

Dr. Katie is heaven sent. She has done wonders to help my physical pain and foster my mental health. She is kind, compassionate, competent, and accommodating. Her bedside rapport creates a welcoming and comfortable environment. She truly listens to all of my needs and provides quality care through her acupuncture technique. I firmly believe she continues to heal me from my symptoms (upper & lower back pain and lady cramping) and nurtures a mindfulness approach of calm. Initially I was apprehensive and nervous about acupuncture in general. However, after my initial consultation and treatments with Dr. Katie, I cannot believe how long I have gone without this modality. She not only looks after me regarding my patient health concerns, but she encourages me to take control of my health from a holistic approach-- even finally getting me to try out yoga! Now, I consider acupuncture from Dr. Katie an integral part to my overall well being. I would absolutely without a doubt recommend her care to everyone. 10 GOLD stars if I could rate that here! read more

I have only the best things to say about Ahimsa Wellness and Dr. Katie Ngan. I went in with back and shoulder pain, and head aches/migraines to boot. After the first appointment I could feel a difference, and with each appointment my pain noticeably disappeared. She did a fantastic job taking my shoulder pain from nauseous to almost non existent and my head aches I was regularly having I hardly have anymore. I am so impressed by Dr. Ngan's skills, the ease of scheduling, and the peaceful environment. If you're considering acupuncture, look no further! 10/10 recommend read more

If you're searching for a new acupuncturist to help with whatever ails you, look no further! After almost 1.5 years of unexplained infertility and no success with western fertility treatments, I sought out alternative options. Within a month of starting acupuncture sessions with Dr. Katie, I conceived my baby girl. I continued to see Dr. Katie regularly throughout my pregnancy and her treatments helped me manage many of the issues that commonly affect pregnant people (morning sickness, digestive issues, swelling, headaches and other aches and pains, among other things). Dr. Katie is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable. She takes the time to really listen to your concerns and provides a holistic and individualized approach to treatments. I 10/10 would recommend Dr. Katie and Ahimsa Wellness! read more

I found Dr. Ngan through the great reviews from Yelp. After almost 2 years of unsuccessful conventional intervention for pain treatment from an accident, I sought out alternative options. Dr. Ngan was very thorough going over my health information during our initial visit. She is knowledgeable and passionate about helping her clients. With each session, she listened and adjusted the treatment accordingly. She made recommendations whenever needed. The soothing soft music on the background during the session had a calming effect and felt like a spa. She used holistic approach to heal the body and restore wellness. I really appreciate her great care for restoring my health. I felt so relaxed after each session. Highly recommend her care. read more

Let me start out by saying this is the only acupuncturist I've been to so I don't have anything to compare. However, I absolutely love Dr. Katie and have since the beginning. The new patient paperwork I had to fill out was very thorough and during my initial appointment she went over everything in my paperwork with me. I have a huge fear of needles and she has been so patient with me. I look forward to my appointments, and the office itself is so relaxing.....I usually fall asleep. I'm seeing Dr. Katie for migraines and the combination of the medications I take, plus acupuncture and Chinese herbs from Dr. Katie has made a big difference. And her follow through is amazing. I love getting emails that provide a receipt, reminder emails for my upcoming appointments and it's so convenient just to text her if I need to reschedule. read more

I wish I could give Dr. Katie 6 stars! I started seeing Dr. Katie regularly in the summer of 2018 when my partner and I began our fertility journey. Dr. Katie's calm presence, professionalism, and natural healing ability gave me the wellness boost I needed to successfully conceive in just three months. I continued to see her through all three trimesters where she helped me curb my morning sickness and successfully manage the aches and pains that come with the final months of pregnancy. I can, without a doubt, say that Dr. Katie helped make this pregnancy a healthy, happy, and rewarding experience for me! Whether you are trying to conceive, dealing with the discomforts of pregnancy, or just looking to boost your overall health and wellness, look no further than Dr. Katie and Ahimsa Wellness. Dr. Katie's warm and welcoming spirit perfectly compliments her professionalism and knowledge of alternative healthcare. She has not only provided me with exceptional in-office acupuncture services but has also added to my overall health by providing food, recipe and supplement recommendations, and fantastic referrals to other wellness services in the area. On top of all of this, her downtown Walnut Creek office location (with free parking) and online booking system make scheduling and attending appointments so easy. read more

I call this office looking for Ayurveda treatments. They responded the next day with a list of practitioners in the area that they recommend. I wish they had an Ayurveda physician there. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Katie for acupuncture and wholistic care. She is very knowledgeable and is truly interested in my wellbeing. During our first session, she asked many questions to understand my chronic pain condition and other ailments and designed an acupuncture treatment plan that is making a difference. I should also say I was very reluctant for five years to try acupuncture given my aversion to needles and Dr. Katie made me feel very comfortable right away. I'm just three weeks into my treatment plan and very grateful. And I'm looking forward to making this my number one treatment plan to manage / reduce pain. Thank you so much Dr. Katie! read more

Dr. Katie and her magic needles, as my friend and I say! After my very first session with Dr. Katie I felt an immediate difference in my overall self. It's been one month since then and I have not had one migraine (my primary issue), my hormones are more balanced then they've ever been, and I just feel really good. She is so kind, funny, and a joy to talk to. She is truly a gifted healer! read more

I'm so glad I was able to find Ahimsa Wellness and Dr. Katie Ngan. I've been struggling with neck, shoulder, and back pain for years and after just one session with Dr. Katie Ngan, I was already able to experience relief from the pain and discomfort. After trying different therapies with different healthcare providers, Dr. Katie Ngan is the only licensed accupuncturist and chiropractor who is also certified in Ayurveda, with her credentials not only impressive but also her demeanor, energy and dynamic care as well. She is very professional, knowledgable, personable and passionate about how she cares for her patients and their overall health. She takes the time to connect with her patients and provides useful tips and information on whatever concerns you may have. Her holistic approach has such a lasting effect, along with her personality and presence, which is no wonder why she is recognized and praised by so many! read more

I started seeing Dr. Katie Around 34 weeks pregnant for shoulder pain, swelling and wrist pain. She was able to help me tremendously! I was so nervous to try acupuncture but was desperate for relief. I am so happy I found her! I saw her all the way to 40 weeks and she ended up helping me flip my baby boy! He was still breech at 38 weeks and I was scheduled to do a manual version at the hospital, but was able to avoid that after Dr. Katie used pressure points specific for breech babies. Absolutely incredible! My OB was so impressed and I was able to deliver my baby boy and avoid a c-section. Can't recommend her enough! So sweet and knowledgeable. I have my pregnant friends seeing her now! Thank you Dr. Katie! read more

I couldn't say enough positive things about Ahimsa Wellness and Dr. Katie. I have rheumatoid arthritis and had chronic, nagging hip pain...all day and all night. I wanted to find relief w/o using perscription pain meds and I wanted to improve my quality of life. That's when I started seeing Dr. Katie, she performed accupuncture to help relieve my hip pain and from the very first treatment I found significant relief, I continued to see Dr. Katie for treatments until recently when I moved away from the bay area. Before I moved I also started experiencing severe hot flashes due to menopause, Dr. Katie treated me with a combination of accupuncture and Chinese herbs. It didn't completely diminish the hot flashes but the treatments did lessen the severity of my hot flashes... And any woman who has hot flashes knows that any positive change makes a huge difference. I would highly recommend Ahimsa Wellness and Dr. Katie. She is caring and thorough and has the best interest of her patients as her top priority. read more

Love! Love! Love! Dr. Katie! Shes the absolute BEST! Very well trained as a Chiropractor AND Acupuncturist. You really get the best of both worlds in one visit! She also is very thorough in assessing my health and has given me dietary tips to assist with some of my personal health issues. She has provided insight to improve my well being and sends a very thorough email and recommendations after every visit. If you take her advice you will be on the fast track to feeling WONDERFUL! She is sweet and professional and explains all the techniques she uses during my visit! I love her! Never felt better! Thank you Dr. Katie! read more

Dr. Katie is the absolute best! Not only is she a wonderful human but she is really great at what she does and cares about getting to the route of the issue you are having. I had seen a couple of other doctors for acupuncture for my sciatica pain before and none of them told me that I could actually treat the underlying issue if I would just go to physical therapy. That was the first thing she said to me when I told her what was wrong. She was right! I went to physical therapy in combination with acupuncture and haven't had the pain in months. I've been seeing Dr. Katie for almost a year now for whatever ailments I have (back, stomach issues, stress, you name it!) and it is always a great experience! read more

I cannot believe how little pain I have after just four acupuncture treatments with Dr. Katie. After years of arthritic pain due to a broken leg and foot, neck pain from cervical stenosis that required a fusion, and tendonitis in my dominant hand, I had all but given up on having a day without pain. I was taking Tylenol daily, using lidocaine patches, and tried all kinds of pain relieving creams! None of these provided the relief that Dr. Katie has. In addition to my pain woes I also have experienced anxiety and insomnia related to job restructuring. Dr. Katie listens and is genuinely interested in knowing who you are, what your needs are, and tailors her treatment according to your needs. She is kind, gentle, and attentive. Her treatment rooms are tranquil, clean, and relaxing. I only wish I had found her sooner!! read more
