Carine is exceptional. I've worked with other acupuncturists before, but there's something uniquely attuned and skillful about her presence. She listens closely, asks thoughtful questions, and seems to understand what's happening in my body with a level of insight that feels almost psychic, without ever losing her grounded professionalism. I leave every session feeling lighter, grounded, and more spacious in my body. The blend of clinical knowledge and genuine warmth she brings is rare, and she creates a space where you feel cared for, not rushed through. If you're looking for someone who actually listens, takes her time, and treats the whole person, not just the symptoms, Carine is it. My nervous system is eternally grateful. read more

This woman is amazing!!! I found Carine online a while back & signed up for her newsletters. I just recently took part in one of her remote intuitive readings & I was blown away! I felt so comfortable with her. Even though it was my first time meeting her (via zoom), her demeanor and energy instantly put me at ease. I felt like I was talking to a good friend that I had known for years. Her kindness and gifted insights are something that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I currently live 300 miles away from her office but would jump at a chance to see her in person. Thank you Carine! read more

My review is overdue as I have been seeing Carine for acupuncture for over 6 months and I look forward to my next appointment. I started coming primarily for chronic pain, and migraines. Each visit my symptom relief got better and better. I no longer have the chronic pain and I can sleep through the night pain-free! My field of work keeps me coming back to make sure I keep up with my self-care and overall wellness. And I love coming back! The atmosphere is clean, relaxing and the energy feels good. Carine is a beautiful person inside and out. She takes pride in the work she does and is an expert in her craft. I highly recommend her! read more

I absolutely love Carine and am so grateful she is my acupuncturist! I have been seeing her for 8 months now and coming every other week is the perfect addition to my wellness routine! Her style is so gentile and healing and I always leave feeling relaxed and vibrant! I ask lots of questions about different points she chooses and she is super helpful in explaining the art and science of acupuncture to me! She also gives the best recommendations/ tips and tricks for improved health and wellness. I have seen many different acupuncturists over the years and Carine is my favorite!! If you're thinking of trying acupuncture but you're scared of needles- I totally get it, I was too! It doesn't hurt at all and you will be blown away at the results you feel! Carine is the best and you will not be disappointed! read more

Carine Camara - Beautiful acupuncture room - Acupuncture Near Me - Lafayette, California

I have known Carine for a while now through the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce Business Women's Group which she created. When she recently introduced energy healing to her options, I took her up on her generous offer of a complimentary 30 minute session (I do not know if the offer is still available). Carine's voice, touch and the entire sensory experience were quite lovely. I am learning about energy and I felt a positive shift during the session. What she explained at the end about her sense of my energy and that moment in my journey was absolutely correct and meaningful. I will return as well as recommend Carine to my friends and clients. read more

Carine is absolutely amazing! I'm so grateful I was introduced to her - she is an amazingly talented healer and acupuncturist who has truly helped me in many ways. Most of my sessions with her have been virtual during the pandemic, and I've had the pleasure of seeing her in-person once for acupuncture as well. She is kind, loving, gentle, and incredibly gifted. She has quickly become someone I rely on in my life to provide positive energy and healing. I've also introduced her to other friends in my circle and she has provided magical experiences to them as well. Thank you Carine! read more

Carine is an absolutely incredible and powerful healer and teacher. I've had an opportunity to experience her work through remote energetic healing as well as in-person intuitive acupuncture work and I've been amazed with the progress and compounded healing that occurs from session to session. Carine has a vast and deep foundational knowledge of acupuncture/Chinese medicine/diet/exercise and also an AMAZING intuition about how to treat each individual. I've experienced truly life transforming experiences in her intuitive acupuncture sessions where I can feel the healing effects of her work for days after and I absolutely love her energy. She is also such an amazing and loving person that I feel so safe and held in her care! I've also had that pleasure of receiving facial acupuncture from Carine and one of the interesting and unexpected benefits from these sessions is the immediate relaxation and lasting tension release I experience in my jaw! I just love Carine!! read more

I LOVE Carine and could not be more grateful for her and the role that she has played in my life! When I came across Carine, I was desperate to find a way through the hopelessness that seemed to be pressing in around me from every direction. Carine was able to connect to my energy in a way that I have never experienced before. It was literally THE BEST therapy that I have ever gotten because it was so personal to me. Carine gave me the tools that I needed to be able to move past the trauma and finally experience the peace, joy and love for life that had been covered by hopelessness. She is a Godsend, a lover of people and a healer. In many ways, she gave me my life back. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Patient, kind and caring is how I would describe Carine. I really enjoyed my sessions with her. I wish she was in-network with my new insurance. She truly cares about her clients and is passionate about helping others heal or find solutions to their health problems. She takes her time and doesn't rush, which is greatly appreciated. Her pelvic massages are to die for! Thank you, Carine!! read more

Carine has been my go-to healer for a while now, and I am an acupuncturist myself. She has a fantastic touch with needles, and solved my wayward menstrual issues within a couple months. Beautiful office in a beautiful redwood area, and has Kangan alkaline water that I always fill up on when I go. Carine is super insightful, and has a very grounded, trustworthy presence. Top quality service! read more

Carine has a warm smile that greets you when you meet her. She is a very calm demeanor and you can tell she is a good person aside from being very skilled. I went in to see her for general wellness and to help me sleep better. I hardly felt the needles she used to get my energy going. She also did some body work in the appropriate areas to supplement the needles. I loved the experience and loved how I felt afterwards. Thank you, Carine! read more

I had the opportunity to work with Carine via telemedicine for an energy healing session and it was AH-MAZING!!! She started by asking how I was doing, then she suggested I get comfortable and she was going to scan my body to see what was going on. So I sat back and BOOM... I was fast asleep. It was a deep sleep that was extremely relaxing. She gently woke me up and then told me helpful information about my health and then gave me solutions on how to fix my ailments. It was incredible! If you are looking for relief of anxiety, worry, or even pain relief, contact Carine! She will take care of you for sure! Thank you, Carine! I appreciate your wisdom and work! :) read more

I've been to other acupuncturists (on & off) and by far I love Carine and her space the best. Why? A healing space is essential in this type of work. Her office is clean, very calm and peaceful, with crystals, stones, waterfalls, soft music and like-minded souls working together to provide a safe and loving environment to do healing work. I seem to relax the moment I walk in the door. This is an important component to healing work, and Carine does a great job in providing that to her clients. This is one reason I see Carine as often as I do. As far as Carine is concerned and the work that she does, I love her. She's kind and soft-hearted, intuitive and intelligent. She listens patiently and gives me what I need every time. Mind you, I'm very sensitive and I feel everything! I'm ticklish, often cold, and scared of needles. But Carine knows how to calm me down, keep me relaxed, all the while focused on the work. She's more than my acupuncturist. She's one of my healers, a confidant that I share my anxiety and woes with because it's the reason I go there, to find relief from my aches and pain (mind and body). She's worked on me in so many ways: migraines, insomnia, sciatica, pulled handspring, stiff neck (history of whiplash) and most recently, digestion and inflammation issues. On another note, we talk about food, nutrition, my diet and eating habits, and I take her advise on supplements to balance my vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. I trust her insight and advise thoroughly. She's a wealth of knowledge and truly a great resource and healer. I highly recommend her to everyone. In fact I always do! read more

Carine is gentle, caring, knowledgeable and one of the best acupuncturists around. She does an amazing facial treatment that leaves you looking and feeling younger!!! read more

Carine's ability to see into the body and know what is going on and why, is profound. She was able to communicate what she saw in a way that was really clear and precise and made sense to me. I have had a terrible persistent cough for over a year and since my Distance Energy Healing session with Carine it is gone! This is truly amazing and such a relief! read more

Carine is the best! I see her for help managing my chronic migraines. Not only is she a skilled and intuitive healer, but she's so warm, engaging, and personable. Her office is beautiful and feels like a cozy nest. I usually end up taking a great nap, and I always leave feeling relaxed and pain-free. Highly recommend! read more

I had a 1 hour shiatsu massage. The location is convenient: the pretty buildings right off the Atherton/San Marin exit, on Redwood blvd, before you get to Trader Joes. The space is nice and clean. Carine is very professional and has strong hands, the massage was deep and healing. I really enjoyed the shiatsu style: she places pressure on one part of your body and pressure on another part which correlates somehow, for example: on your shoulder and on your leg. The massage was with full clothes on and no oil... I know that some people are grossed out by the idea of having to get naked and greasy. I would definitely recommend giving her a try!! read more

I worked with Carine online, and she was so generous and caring. She is an energy healer and a healer of the highest magnitude. She helped me in so many ways. I can honestly say that I highly recommend her because without her ability to listen and intuit, I could not have moved forward the way I have to embrace my future and let go of my past. Carine has changed the way I feel about myself and made a big difference in my life! read more

I'm not one for writing yelp reviews unless I'm either really impressed (and that doesn't happen every day) or really upset (and that would have to be pretty bad). Carine is a true healer. I feel so very fortunate to to have found her because initially, I went in to alleviate severe neck pain, but through her thorough consult and treatment in her lovely office, she helped me far beyond the throbbing neck pain that felt like someone stuck a sword through my back and was poking out of my head. (Not to be graphic, but that's how it felt when I walked in.) After I completed a very thorough questionnaire, she asked me important questions related to my health issues, listened very carefully and patiently to what I was saying, read my pulse and examined my tongue (like some acupuncturists do), and gave me some information about her observations. From there, the fun needle part began. Most of us don't like being pricked, but I must say, her technique for putting in the needles was calm and effective and didn't make me nervous like I have been in the past with some other acupuncturists - and I literally felt blocked energy releasing from my body. She was able to find the best points and even gave me a bonus treatment on my stomach where I have a major scar from prior surgeries. The astounding results helped me realize how that was also contributing to my neck pain. What I liked about her also, was that she asked for my feedback and made me listen to my body to identify where I was "stuck" or in pain so we were really able to get down to the nitty gritty! I know I'm not the easiest client because I've had other acupuncturists tell me, "Oh my goodness, your neck is the tightest neck I ever seen. It's like steel." She never once made a negative comment about my body or made it seem like it would be this huge challenge to help me. She just plugged away in a very focused, warm, professional manner. I feel like a weight has literally been lifted off of my shoulders! No more headache, no more neck pain in just one very thorough visit! I'm so grateful. I also am now educated on how to stay loose for my body type and will continue to release what I've stored in there for so long. I have been to several acupuncturists who just stick the needles in and want their check without even taking the time to really talk with you and listen to what you need and educate you. This lady obviously loves her work, is dedicated to each individual who walks in there, cares and has the expertise to tune in and give you what you need to heal. I feel deeply blessed to have found her and would recommend her to anyone. read more

I twisted my ankle badly and was in so much pain I was in tears. My acupuncturist was out of town. I was referred to Carine by a friend. She was very nice on the phone and unlike another review I read here, I felt very welcomed. I wasn't sure how much it could help me, but I was in so much pain that I wanted to try everything. Carine took her time with me. I felt she was very tuned to my body, like she could hear what it needed without asking me. She took my pulse, asked me a few questions and asked me if I was ok when placing needles near the tender spots. I booked another appointment with her immediately. I would recommend her to anyone with pain! My pain is gone! I can't believe it! I am SO HAPPY! *phew* THANKS FOR THE RESCUE, CARINE! read more

Carine has such a kindness about her. She is compassionate and you can feel how much she cares. I did 2 distance healing sessions with her recently and came away feeling so uplifted. I look forward to seeing her in person in the future for acupuncture and/or energy healing work. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for healing, physical, mental or spiritual. read more

Carine is awesome! Her office is comfortable, clean, soothing colors and she really knows what she is doing! I have a big scar from an old surgery and her needles really helped improve range of motion and my ability to feel what's going on. Really like her attitude and energy! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, caring, and awesome acupuncturist! read more

I first met with Carine for a Transformative Healing session and it made me realize how much I had been missing in my previous experiences with acupuncture and body work. From the moment I entered the office, I was soothed by her warm and relatable demeanor and the calming decor. During the treatment, Carine provided guidance to help me grow in my understanding of my body and I was able to make decisions about how I would like to care for it moving forward. This treatment focused on guiding my body to support healing at the site of my c-section scar, but it provided much more than that. As I continue to pursue more holistic care of my mind and body, I am excited to work with Carine. read more

Carine has been an angel in my life. I've been struggling to heal from Candida for several years - I have literally tried everything (diet, colonics, hypnotherapy, a Balinese healer, etc.) except acupuncture. Mostly because I'm terrified of needles. The sound of a cabinet housing needles opening or the slightest sight of a needle can send me into a panic attack. And while everyone has always said, "Oh, you can't feel them!" I know that it's all mental for me. Carine knew about my fears and issues before I scheduled my first appointment and has been so supportive. I feel incredibly safe in her office and at the receiving end of her needles. Even though I still get a little anxious {and my palms sweat like crazy}, the experience has become more and more calming. Plus, my body is feeling better. Which is always a plus! read more

Carine has a warm, holistic, and therapeutic approach to acupuncture. She is incredibly knowledgable and is genuinely invested in her clients' well-being. In addition to acupuncture, she has given invaluable guidance around wellness and nutrition, which have tremendously impacted my self-care and quality of life. Though I've gone to several providers in the past, I have never attended as consistently as I have since working with Carine. My sessions with her are a highlight of my week, as I leave feeling relaxed, centered, and supported. In addition to her healing and therapeutic presence, she consistently works her acupuncture magic in alleviating pain and discomfort, while aligning mind, body, and spirit! read more

Carine is phenomenal. I've tried at least ten different acupuncturists throughout the LA area before we met. No one listened as intently and instinctually found correlations like she does naturally. And I never really saw permanent results with any other acupuncturist until I found Carine. My main treatment was for dry eyes and headaches- both significantly changed immediately and within a few sessions were no longer a problem at all. Aside from her healing through acupuncture her energy even before you go into treatment is immediately soothing. She's confident, grounded, serene and really understands the depths of chinese medicine. Her knowledge of nutrition was also enormously beneficial. Go! Go! Go! I've sent so many friends her way and they all rave. read more

My overall experience with Carine was terrific. Carine really does care! Besides the catching slogan, Carine is a very intuitive, easy-going and confident practitioner. I would definitely recommend getting a treatment! I loved it! read more

Relaxed and grateful are the words that immediately come to mind as I describe Carine and her acupuncture service. I am new to acupuncture so I didn't know what to expect. Her explanations were thorough and she was constantly checking on how everything felt. I originally went to her with sleep and stress issues and ended up getting that plus energy releases I was not expecting. I recommend you all go see her and experience the kind and caring atmosphere she creates. read more

I bought a groupon for Carine Cares for an hour long Swedish ma sage. I received much more as a trained Acupuncturist Carine massaged all my pressure points. I left feeling great and this carried on to the next day I could tell there was a profound change in my body. I was late and she ever stayed later for me. Thank you Carine. read more

before working with Carine I had never worked with an acupuncturist so I was a bit hesitant. I was feeling stuck with a lot of things in life, and nothing else was working to help me get out of my slump, so i figured what the hell. I had just gone through a major loss of a close friend an recently launched my own business, which has absolutely taken off among all the other things that make life hectic, so I really needed help NOT having a breakdown. Carine's work really helped me move through a lot of the energy and emotions and that have been preventing me from moving forward and doing the things I needed to do (and be the person I needed to be). I am so happy I decided to work with her and will continue to go back to her regularly, because I know how much her work has benefitted my life. is the short time since i started seeing her. read more

Carine is a very caring and knowledgeable provider. She helps with so many conditions including depression and anxiety.

Carine is a fantastic acupuncturist. I had a history of preeclampsia and saw several acupuncturists through my pregnancy in the hope of avoiding it again but developed hypertension at 31 weeks. Then I started seeing Carine. She helped maintain my health so it never progressed beyond mild hypertension. My OB wanted to induce me at 37 weeks so Carine induced me with acupuncture - just one session and I went into labor. My OB was so impressed she asked me for Carine's information! Carine is extremely warm, genuine and caring, I felt like she truly cared about me and my health. She went out of her way to learn more about my conditions and share helpful information with me about them. She is open and collaborative and was an integral part of my pregnancy team - you should have her on yours too. read more

Carine is a total gem! Apart from being the warmest, friendliest, and most lovable person, she is excellent at what she does. She has a unique ability to make you feel immediately comfortable, takes real time to listen to you, asks probing and important questions, and isn't afraid to try different approaches to see what works best. She has a passion for learning and is always willing to answer your questions about the process, sharing her best practices and making sure you leave feeling empowered to make the right decisions about your body and healing. I cannot recommend her services enough! read more

I truly cannot say enough great things about Carine. I started seeing her at 36 weeks pregnant and it was such a great decision. At first treatments were focused around relaxation and general prenatal support, but as my due date neared, arrived and passed with no baby, we shifted gears to labor inducing treatments. Carine was an incredibly calming person to be around during what ended up being a stressful time for me (waiting on babies is hard!!), and I so enjoyed being in her space and our time together. I can't say for certain if acupuncture is what finally had made me go into labor (I went into labor the night after an intense session), but I will say that Carine pulled out every trick in her book to help me - she was so incredibly dedicated and thorough!! Also... she predicted the gender of my baby :). Side note... acupuncture for inducing labor is NOT comfortable so don't be surprised by that... but, with Carine you'll be in great hands!! read more

I met Carine today for the first time, after booking my first appointment through a local living social deal. She is immediately warm and welcoming, and takes the time to really get to know you, discuss any ailments, and talk to you about how to work towards total health. I would recommend Carine to anyone, as her integrative approach to total health is a welcome wake-up call to start or restart moving in the right direction for you. read more

I was referred to Carine by a close friend who knew I was interested in energy work. Since our initial introduction I have participated in Carine's free group healings and had two private sessions with her. Since I live in Portland, OR, and since we've been living through a pandemic, I've only worked with her remotely, but luckily the powerful healing work she does seamlessly lends itself to connecting virtually. If you are new to energy work and/or curious to learn more, I highly recommend working with Carine. She is kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable, and she offers a judgement free place to explore and heal your inner self. If you're looking to be more in tune with yourself and world around you, if you're looking to heal from a specific trauma or experience, or if you're looking to just feel better in general (aren't we all needing that these days!), I recommend connecting with Carine. Thank you sharing your gifts with us, Carine! read more

I was so thankful when I found Carine. She is extremely kind and welcoming, I always feel at ease when I enter into her space. I know that she truly cares about my wellness and becoming my best, healthiest and strongest self. She is always willing to answer any questions I have and listen carefully to everything that I say. The office is easy to find and very peaceful. I would recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their well-being. read more

I am so grateful for connecting with Carine before relocating out of Los Angeles. I was only able to make it in for two sessions, but those sessions were moving and impactful. I have had acupuncture before, but my experience at Health Acu-mulates was far better! Carine's style and space are amazing. She is down to earth, non-judgemental and willing to meet me where I am at. When speaking to her, it is clear she is trying to understand all of the moving pieces in my life so she can assist me in identifying the root of what is causing my symptoms, and best help my body heal. I can't say enough good things about her practice and I now know what I need in an Acupuncturist in my next city. . . there are some big shoes to fill! read more

Carine is wonderful! I booked two sessions with her when I was 40+ weeks pregnant. Not only did the treatments help move things along but she was so thoughtful and kind during the process. I was such an emotional wreck at the time (and so very uncomfortable) but Carine was always positive and calm. I left feeling emotionally uplifted and physically grounded. I'm looking forward to having her help with my postpartum as well. read more

I was HIGHLY disappointed in the Shiatsu. It started when I was waiting; Carine popped out of a back room and said are you here for your group on? No introduction, no hello, no welcome. 10 minutes later than my start time she finally takes me in the room. Still no introduction. She didn't put a clean sheet on the table; thank goodness I was there for Shiatsu and not swedish. She finally gets me on the table and starts working. She never asked how I was doing; I had to let her know 2 times that she was hitting bone. Add to that the incessant knuckle popping (hers, not mine), the choppiness of the treatment and her apparent lack of wanting to be there... I would not recommend her. Never once did she call me by name. I am in the spa business and was excited by the fact that she is an acupuncturist; she should know the meridians and excel at Shiatsu. Toward the end of the session (which she ended promptly on time even though she took me in 10 min late) I had to let her know her hair was hitting me in the face. A couple of times I wondered if she fell asleep; the pressure lightened considerably and her hair in my face led me to think that. The only reason I knew she was awake is she kept taking her hands off me to pop her knuckles. She didn't advertise in her group on that she was only offering the treatment on certain days. She also doesn't advertise that her Shiatsu is on a table and not on a mat as is traditional. read more
