I was in the area and saw a sign for a free acupuncture consultation and treatment. How lucky! I…read morehad never had acupuncture done before and always wanted to try it. I needed to be buzzed in and there was a sign showing their location on the lower level. When I walked in, I was greeted warmly by a guy who offered me a seat and asked me to complete some paperwork. There were some other people there as well so that was a good sign :) The paperwork was to provide information about pain areas and such, similar to going to a massage therapy place. Li Ying was the acupuncturist who worked on me and she took her time to ask about my concerns and pain points. When I was in the treatment area, she told me what to expect and showed me the new needles that would be used (new each time). I had lots of questions as it was my first time and she made sure to answer all of them to make me comfortable. She ended up doing acupuncture, cupping and infrared light, as well as some manual manipulation on my main pain areas (neck/trap and lower back). I asked what it would feel like and she mentioned that it might feel like a paper cut, but less (which honestly made me nervous) lol but it actually barely even felt like anything! I'm pretty sensitive in general so I could feel all the entry points, but nothing hurt at all and she made sure to check with each one. The cupping part was some suction cups around my upper and lower back. While working on me she would ask about location and feelings to make sure there wasn't any pain. Numbness and heat could be some of the symptoms, but I didn't feel any of that thankfully. I received a 30+ minute treatment and it was followed up by the offer of water, tea and snacks. Li Ying allowed me to take some photos of the office since I was one of the last ones finishing from their complimentary hours. She also offered some tips and suggestions to help keep my symptoms at bay. I enjoyed my first acupuncture experience here and plan to come back if my pain persists. They take a bunch of insurances and are open Monday-Saturday 10-6pm with sessions typically lasting about 45-60 minutes. I'm so glad I stumbled onto this place - I really enjoy the idea of holistic wellness. My husband is looking forward to trying them out soon too! :)

My husband made reservations for us--which he thought was a couples massage (1 prenatal and 1…read morewellness massage) via the website. They call the day before to confirm your appts which I thought was very nice. When we first got there for our original appt it seemed as though it was separate rooms at different time slots. There was def miscommunication between the bookings, confirming appts, and the website. Basically if you're booking a couples massage don't use the site. It's more for single bookings in my opinion. However Bianca, was so nice--she was able to accommodate us for another date (which we were fine with) at no charge. She calmed me down a lot being that I'm 9 months pregnant. Super sweet and just went beyond. So upon arriving for our actual appts--Bianca greeted us right away. Took our coats and we were led upstairs within 5 mins. They offered tea or water. They provided us robes/slippers and our own little cubby with a lock and key. We waited maybe 5 more mins after we got dressed --then we got taken upstairs. Very calming inside for sure. Andrew was superb! The best. Abs book with him. He was great. For a prenatal massage I felt amazing afterwards. He informed me that there will be times he's going to ask about guidance specifically the hips since that's where I'm bothered the most being that pregnant people can really only sleep on their sides. Just an amazing massage! Get the lavender scent--it's soooo good. My husband had Holly and she was super nice. He said he loved his first massage ever. She was great. She asked him any pain/problem areas. Glad to say my husband is into spas now lol. The massages and staff definitely made up for the miscommunication that happened in the beginning and happy that we didn't end up cancelling it. Def worth it. Price was under $300. Plus Bianca gifted me a complimentary body scrub which was so nice of her. She's really great. Holly, Andrew and Bianca were amazing! One star off for the website (maybe it needs to be more specific about certain services-- at least for users who's never been to a spa). Def worth a visit. I'll be coming back post natal for another massage.

I have been seeing Siraj Venjara for a little over two months and highly recommend him…read more I started seeing him for chronic pain in my arm that was limiting my daily activities. This pain had come and gone over the years (most likely due to rheumatoid arthritis) and had currently been with me consistently for the last 9 months. I was assured that the specific pain could be completely eliminated and we could then start working more intently on the root cause of the issues.. I was not sure what to expect but felt comfortable at every step of the process. Mr. Venjara is very professional and knowledgeable and has a calming and caring demeanor. He fully engages me in the treatment plan explaining what he is doing and how it works. He checks in regularly during a treatment to see how I am feeling and makes any adjustments necessary. It is amazing to feel improvements every week in so many ways! The most surprising thing I have found is that not only is the pain GONE and has allowed me to resume my former activities but there are many other pleasant "side effects". Mainly, in addition to increased energy and a general sense of greater well-being I have been sleeping with NO problems. This is a huge benefit to me as someone who has had constant issues falling asleep for years. About 2 weeks into treatment I have been able to fall asleep normally EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Had I known the amazing benefits I would feel I would have made an appointment for acupuncture long ago. I am so glad I chose Bonafide Acupuncture and am so grateful to Mr. Venjara for his compassionate and knowledgeable care that has cured my long standing issues in such a short amount of time. As a side note, visiting his office is a pleasure. The staff is friendly and professional. I have never had to wait past my appointment time to be seen. If you need to see more than one practitioner (I was having medical massage at one point - Alec Menge is fantastic, by the way) they always arranged my appointments back-to-back for my convenience. And, in addition to a confirmation email for my appointment upon booking I always get a text reminder two hours prior to my appointment. If you are thinking of making an appointment, do it. Best decision ever!

Yuliya is an amazing healer of body, mind and spirit. I would recommend her to anyone.read more

Growing up in a family of physicians and now working as a healthcare professional in medical…read morerehabilitation, I have alway been skeptical about alternative treatment. My father, an internal medicine doctor who was also trained in acupuncture, had put me under his Chinese needles for chronic tendonitis and carpel tunnel syndrome but the experience was more traumatic and painful than helpful. I hate needles. As an avid rock climber and ice climber, I was debilitated by a mysterious neck / shoulder injury which rendered muscle relaxer and prescription pain killers useless. Yuliya was then referred to me as a physical therapist and specialist trained with Zero Balancing technique, so I thought I'd give it a try, since the pain couldn't have gotten any worse. I was at my wit's end. The procedure was straight forward. Treatment involved assessment by client self report, evaluation by eastern medicine approach such as pulse reading / touching, and sometimes tongue reading. After assessment, Yuliya released lactic acid buildup by trigger points and instructed me with breathing technique. After the needles she performed Zero Balancing. In the second session she performed an authentic Gua-Sha on problem area. What I didn't expect was a spiritual and life changing experience of freedom and enlightenment instantaneously as a result of the first treatment session with Yuliya. It was better than a deep tissue massage or the time when I felt "high" from post-yoga bliss. The sensation can best be described as relaxed, enhanced, focused, highly aware and sensitive, fearless, elevated, accepting, grounded, centered and weightless. My mind and body felt like the part of the universe but vividly exist and alive. I felt like a celestial being at times as the effect of treatment continued to manifest in release of toxin, in improved gait, improved posture, improved perception and pimples for a week post treatment. The reason that made me write this long review on Yuliya is apparent. Her treatment is highly effective and non-abrasive. The effect is noticeable and long-lasting physically and psychologically, and her holistic approach makes me realize what a true "healer" is. Yuliya is experienced enough to predict the soreness of muscles and making recommendation to address the release of toxin to prolong the effect of treatment. The benefit of Yuliya's session can be described similar to a combination of physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, body alignment ( in the same league of Alexander technique / Feldenkrais technique), yoga, and psychotherapy. I highly recommend Yuliya for muscle, tendon and ligament related pain and injury, as well as overall fine tuning of wellness and in prevention of seasonal ailment. Anyone with chronic migraine, muscle and joint pain, chronic fatigue, depression, and anyone who regularly engages in outdoor or recreation sports will benefit from individual sessions with Yuliya.

I went to this place for a few times and I liked the treatments I had received but …read more.. Today when I had my weekly PT as usual and this therapist ( Kevin ) , an mid-aged Asian male , after commenting my weight while he was giving treatment , I totally changed my mind about this place. I am a 5'7 125 lbs female , not clinically obese of course ,getting a comment from my therapist saying I am fat (out of no where )?! What ???? So I confronted him and told him that I am just 125 lbs and I am 5'7, he kept denying that I was not telling the truth about my weight and kept saying if I lose 5-10 lbs, I would gain youth and beauty. ( are you serious ?? Sir ! I am in my late 20's ) I want to emphasize that he gave this comment out of no where and I was just basically lied on my stomach receiving massage treatment from him while he was talking, not that I was engaging a conversation with him about my appearance ..... I thought about it myself , I don't think there was a language barrier between him and me as I was speaking in his mother language(Mandarin) . Second of all, it is not a therapist business to judge my weight specially there is nothing to judge to begin with . I was thinking in my mind , hello ?! You are a physical therapist and you are not a weight loss consultant :) but just to be polite at the moment, I chose to not say anything back to him. Anyway , Beside him criticizing my weight and body-shamed me , he did not give any other other constructive comments about my physical health. All I am trying to say here is that , I feel that this therapist was extremely unprofessional and gave no respect to me as a patient and just randomly BS whatever he wanted just because he was bored. Just a little tip here to all of you out there looking for a good Asian PT / acupuncture treatment center , this place is not bad but just to be careful to not choose this Kevin guy to give you treatment or If it happens that you have to get treated by him , then I suggest to not speak mandarin with him / making conversation with him just so you can avoid him getting too comfortable with you and scar you with this sort of personal comment . Even now , I am still pretty depressed by his comment and I know there are people out there cannot take this kind of comment very well . So please be aware people , if possible , stay away from that Kevin guy for good !

I arrived a bit…read moreearlier than my intended appointment time, waited for about ten minutes for the esthetician to finish with her client. The Esthetician led me into a dimly lit room filled with ambient background music and a comfy massage bed. I booked a one hour hydro facial treatment (extra facial serum with Yelp check in), and the process started as soon as I changed into my robe. The facial creams used during my treatment have this cooling sensation which smells fresh and clean on my face. Esthetician also removed some blackheads around the T-zone (wasn't too painful), toners used on my face were mild and did not irritate the skin too much. A calming mask was then placed on my face, and was told by the Esthetician to take a short nap- which I gladly did. Maybe cause I enjoyed the treatment a bit too much, it felt less than the one hour I paid for. Esthetician gave me a small pouch with the hydrating serum for me to use at home; She said she didn't have time to apply it on my face during my in person treatment. Overall, a good experience
