I started seeing Cindi around 30 weeks pregnant, when I was dealing with sciatica so bad my left leg would go numb and hurt every morning. I'd literally have to stand there for a few minutes before I could even walk. My hips felt sooo heavy, and just moving around the house was exhausting. I originally found Cindi because I wanted to try acupuncture--both to help with the pain and hopefully encourage a more natural induction (vs. the standard route my OB suggested). After my first visit... I woke up the next morning, got out of bed, and just... walked. Normally. No pain, no weird "settling in" moment. I was so shocked I woke my husband up just to show him. Pretty sure that's when he became a believer too. I kept seeing her weekly, and wow--my hips, back, and leg felt AMAZING. I went from barely wanting to walk around the house to vacuuming, putting on my own shoes, and even taking 30-minute walks like it was nothing... all the way up to giving birth at 40 weeks on the dot. I also had terrible carpal tunnel during my first pregnancy, and Cindi helped with preventative care this time around--and it actually worked! And to top it off, she even came in on her day off to try one last time to help me go into labor before my scheduled hospital induction. Seriously above and beyond. She has magical hands and so much knowledge when it comes to pregnancy and the body. If you can't already tell... highly, highly recommend!!! read more

I can't recommend Dr. Cindi enough! After a year of working with fertility specialists with no success, I decided to try acupuncture and began seeing her. From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive. She took the time to understand my specific needs and created a personalized treatment plan that included acupuncture sessions, targeted supplements, and diet recommendations. Within just two months of working with her, I found out I was pregnant! I truly believe her guidance and treatments played a huge role in helping my body get to a place where it could conceive. I always looked forward to my appointments--her calm energy made me feel relaxed and cared for. If you're on a fertility journey and considering acupuncture, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Cindi. I'm so grateful I found her! read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Cindi enough! I started seeing her during my pregnancy, and it has been one of the best decisions I made for my baby and overall well-being. From the very first appointment, she made me feel safe, supported, and truly cared for. The treatments were incredibly effective--helping with everything from leg cramps, to stress, to even helping induce labor! Each session left me feeling calmer, lighter, and more balanced. Dr.Cindi always took the time to explain what she was doing and why, which gave me so much confidence in the process. The office is peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained. I always looked forward to my visits and left feeling rejuvenated every time. If you're pregnant and considering acupuncture, do yourself a favor and book an appointment here. It made such a positive difference in my pregnancy journey as I birthed with a midwife in a bathtub with no complications. I'm so grateful! Can't wait for my postpartum care! read more

Thank goodness for Dr. Cindi's acupuncture expertise. She kept me upright and mobile though-out the several months I experienced neuropathy and discomfort during my cancer journey. Cindi is a skilled and caring practitioner, so it's no wonder she has been voted Campbell's best acupuncturist for several years running. read more

Working with Cindy is fast, effective and to the point. She is reliable, focused and always on time. I have seen many acupuncturists during my journey to get pregnant but none like her. She is my favorite. And, I'm not saying that because she got me pregnant right away. But for context, I waited 7 years to get pregnant and during that time, I met with expensive fertility specialists who told me that based on my age, I only had a dozen "good" eggs left and better harvest them ASAP or else! Luckily, another friend raved about her own acupuncturist in the North Bay so I contacted her for a local referral. She immediately recommended Cindi. We had been trying to conceive on our own for years and she was the missing piece we needed to expand to a family of 4 in our 40's! After one treatment, I knew Cindi was legit. I had a dull pain near my ovary following a past procedure that other doctors diagnosed as "normal" but my intuition said it was a barrier to conception. After one treatment, I felt that area tingle, then a release of the tightness and immediate pain relief followed by a warm sensation. Less than 3 weeks later, I had a positive pregnancy test for the first time in 7 years. She also has relatively reasonable pricing. My overall investment was less than $2,700 for 25 visits - very cost-effective in comparison to alternative and oftentimes, more invasive fertility treatments. I continue to see her for postpartum visits. She is full of gold nuggets of information and offers an extensive library of tools for support in her office. I accessed these often throughout. I was able to borrow The First Forty Days by Heng Ou which completely changed my perspective on the postpartum period in the most positive and healing way. If you are ready to start or restart the often arduous process to conceive and deliver, I will encourage you to choose Cindi as a partner every time. read more

Cindi continues to be an amazing professional. She has kept up with the science of Chinese medicine, continued her schooling, and continues to follow all the research on holistic women's health. I trust her fully with any women's health need within her scope. She's truly a master at her craft read more

I have been seeing Cindi for over four years now and she transformed my life and my health. When I came to her I was suffering very badly with fibromyalgia. She was able to "right the ship" if you will and give me my life back. Now, I see her once a month faithfully just for a tune up. Cindi is caring, funny (with a lil bit of a dry sense of humor that I love), direct, and is immensely knowledgeable about her field. I give her my most enthusiastic recommendation. read more

Very average acupuncture treatment. There are much better practitioners out there, with more warm personalities.

I started seeing Dr. Cindi after my first pregnancy loss. She was a calm, warm, and competent practitioner during one of the darkest periods of my life. Acupuncture helped me tremendously before and during my subsequent pregnancies. After the birth of my first child, I suffered my second pregnancy loss and Cindi again, was a sounding board throughout that time. She is so personable, caring, and skilled. I have referred so many people to her, and will continue to! read more

I started seeing Cindi when I was experiencing fairly severe anxiety. I had a therapist recommend acupuncture and decided to give it a try. Over the 4 years that I saw Cindi she helped me immensely, not only with helping to control my anxiety but also when other issues came up with headaches and hormones. She always spent ample time asking me what was going on with my life and making sure to adjust the acupuncture as needed. In addition, she was such a valuable resource for recommending supplements and herbs to help me along with the acupuncture. I really felt I connected with Cindi and she always expressed great care and concern for my well being. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking acupuncture. read more

I have been seeing Cindi for pregnancy related issues and over time I have come to depend on her not only for quality acupuncture treatment but sage timely advice related to pregnancy. Look no further if you are trying to find a great acupuncturist! Cindi has a lot of experience working with pregnancy related issues and also has great information about local doctors, hospitals, and other naturopathic pharmacies. She is very professional, empathetic and is very prompt with communication. She has given me really useful pointers regarding quality natural and western medications, which have made all the difference! What I like about her style is that she gives you information about all the options that might be available to you, lets you choose, and then works with your choice. She has been with me every step of the way through my complicated pregnancy. I am so grateful and glad to have had her support. I cannot recommend her enough!! read more

If you are trying to get pregnant and having a hard time look no further. Cindi is unbelievable. She is so knowledgeable and so passionate about the field. I got pregnant with my second child on my second cycle after seeing her! Still quite shocking. My husband also visited Cindi which was super helpful. She made some changes in our diet and supplements we were taking and of course needles. I also did some lab work and what I loved was that she has affordable lab options available with Labcorp. She listens and will have a specific plan for each patient. I had recommended her to so many people. I wish I have met her when we were trying with my first baby. Also, she is super fast in responding to emails. I 100% recommend Cindi. read more

I went to Cindi after unsuccessfully trying to have a baby for over a year. I was also going fertility treatments but I wanted to try something other than traditional western medicine as well. Cindi is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and immediately gave me suggestions of things I could do right away to help my odds. Simple products and supplements that my other doctor made no mention of. If nothing else it just made me feel empowered, like I was doing something to help. I was never really a big believer in acupuncture but I got pregnant right away after seeing Cindi. Highly recommend!!! read more

I have never received acupuncture before but I am very satisfied with my experience. I have been going to Cindi for over a month now to focus on my migraines and a high stress level. There was a noticeable difference of how calm I felt almost immediately and I haven't had a migraine since we started. She is extremely professional and caring, and her facilities are relaxing, warm, and clean. I highly recommend her services. read more

Cindi is an amazing acupuncturist. I am so happy I found her. She specializes in fertility and has been supporting me in my process of getting pregnant. She is full of knowledge related specifically to fertility and will journey along side you each step of the way. I have seen other acupuncturists before for women's health but Cindi actually shares with you lifestyle diet and supplement changes you can make to create a healthier body for pregnancy. I appreciate her approach and how at each appointment she checks in with you with where you at and then discusses the next steps to support you. This has been a different experience because before the acupuncturist would simple put the needles in sometimes in a rush. I highly recommend Cindi if you are looking for an intelligent, knowledgeable, consistent, grounded and kind acupuncturist to support you with any health concerns you may be facing !!! read more

I've been seeing Cindi regularly for about five years now. She is an incredibly skilled acupuncturist and has helped me with many health issues. She has a doctorate in Chinese Medicine, so she has a lot of knowledge beyond acupuncture as well, and may help you bring your labs to normal range or suggest herbs/supplements to help with whatever you are struggling with. She spends a lot of time with me every time I come reviewing how I am doing and adjusting treatment to meet my current needs. Her office is super cozy and comfortable. I feel really taken care of. She also takes all the COVID precautions, so you can feel safe there. In addition, she is a very kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring person, and I love to talk to her. If you are looking for an acupuncturist, reach out to Cindi. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Cindi is always professional and personal. Her vast knowledge of acupuncture cannot be beat. Highly recommend her and her services.

Cindi is great. I had never seen an acupuncturist and I was honestly a bit nervous. I saw her during my pregnancy to help prepare for labor and I am glad I did. She is very practical and gentle with her treatments. She also helped me when my baby was breech by doing a special treatment and giving me moxa sticks to use at home. My baby turned the next day (I also sought chiropractic treatment for this). Her treatments are fairly priced and she specializes working with pregnant women and balancing hormones. I have seen her once since my baby was born and it helped me feel better as well. I highly recommend her! read more

Another 5 star review for Cindi! My husband actually went to her first for tinnitus, and was casually telling her that we had been doing endless rounds of fertility treatments. She asked if I was doing acupuncture, and mentioned that it can really help with the process. So I booked an appointment, went through my medical history, and did a few treatments with Cindi. I also read the books she recommended, and made a few changes to my diet, and incorporated vitamins. BAM! After trying for 2 1/2 years, I got pregnant on my third round of injectables. The only thing I did differently was adding in acupuncture and incorporating Cindi's suggestions. I know this won't be the case with everyone, but it was my experience, and I'm so grateful that I found Cindi when I did. My daughter is now 18 months old, and I'm seeing Cindi again as we try for another baby. I have to say that I'm not a super mellow "zen" person. I'm more of a high energy, fast paced, always moving kind of gal. It was hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of quietly laying in a room with a bunch of needles in me. However--I'm so glad that I did. I feel a blend of Eastern and Western treatments is key to healthy, balanced living, and you won't find a better practitioner than Cindi. She's warm, friendly, professional, and has great bedside manner. read more

This practice is targeted to prenatal women so she couldn't help with my specific needs. However, she took the time to refer to another practitioner. Went out of her way to be kind. Thank you Cindi! read more

I saw Cindi following a car accident. Weeks of chiropracture had helped but I was still in a lot of pain. The evening after my first treatment with Cindi, I met friends for a glass of wine and sat with complete comfort for a couple hours on a wooden bar stool with no back support. That couldn't have happened the day before! Cindi helped me recover more fully, and quickly than chiropracture and physical therapy combined. I have no idea who Joe S from Illinois is, but if you visit his page, you can see he has only ever yelped one star about anything and seems to have issues with acupuncturists and vegetarians... Don't let his review keep you from receiving the kind of treatment that an amazing acupuncturist like Cindi can give you. You deserve to be in good health and live without pain. read more

I have been trying for 5 years now..last year I started going for acupuncture after reading how it affects your fertility. I did a lot of research before I selected Cindi and I am glad I did! Cindi is very holistic in her approach, she is probably one of the rare acupuncturist who doesn't try to fit one size for all..she run a thorough blood panel to understand what could be the root cause and accordingly tailors her approach. If Cindi wouldn't have run such thorough test, I wouldn't have known that my body doesn't absorb the synthetic pre-natal pills! Slowly and surely my body started to heal and feel better...and finally I was able to conceive. I would highly recommend Cindi to all who have been yearning to get pregnant, just don't look any further. It doesn't get better than Cindi!! read more

I feel so fortunate to have found Cindi! I have endometriosis and I started seeing her in August to help treat my symptoms. She is so knowledgeable about endometriosis, which is such a breath of fresh air compared to western doctors. Since I began sessions with her, I have been able to get off of all hormonal birth control and treat my endo 100% naturally. Whenever I am having a flare up she listens to my current symptoms and treats me accordingly. She has also recommended herbs and heat therapy that I do between sessions and those have helped with my symptoms a ton. I once lost my voice from a cold and saw her 2 days in a row and she was able to restore my voice! She is truly so gifted and caringm. Having a chronic disease and pain can be very scary, but Cindi has given me hope and shown me that I can manage my symptoms and get by day to day naturally. read more

Since at least my early 20's I'd had quite severe cramps with my periods - the kind where I'd lay in bed all day (sometimes 2 days) and need to miss school or work. I tried prescription pain medicines and they didn't work. I used birth control for years until I stopped taking it, and the pain came back in full force. That's when I found Cindi (actually, my mom did) and after a few treatments my painful cramps disappeared!!!! I never experienced them again - since then, Cindi has also helped me with the effects of stress and anxiety. I like to say she resets my battery. Not only are her treatments a lifesaver, but she is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and perceptive to her client's needs. Acupuncture with Cindi is the best thing I do for my health. read more

I have been seeing Cindi for treatment of uterine fibroids since October. Due to Cindi's knowledge of women's health, chinese herbs and acupuncture, the results from my 6 month follow-up ultrasound (with my western doctor) indicated that the fibroids have shrunk significantly without the addition of hormones or the radical hysterectomy I was left to ponder 6 months ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you Cindi!!! read more

This review is long overdue! I was suffering from secondary I fertility after a second trimester loss. It was emotionally and physically draining and we both were heartbroken losing our baby. We tried conceiving again but unfortunately nothing worked. I was put on clomid but again had an early miscarriage. We tried a failed round of IVF. Eventually we decided to give acupuncture a try and decided to see Cindy. She was very empathetic and listened to all my questions and concerns. I conceived naturally after just two months of weekly treatment but ended up in a miscarriage as it was an empty gestational sac but we were happy that I conceived naturally and that gave us hope. After two months I conceived again and my beautiful baby is now 1.5 year old. I truly believe it's Cindy's treatment that worked and I shall be forever grateful to her. Anybody who is going through infertility should give acupuncture a chance and Cindy is the best! read more

To put it plainly - Cindi is awesome! She had great bedside manner and makes you feel at ease. I had never done acupuncture before and was a bit apprehensive about it but after my first session I was in la-la land. Its the most relaxing experience I've had even over massages and I LOVE massages! Needless to say it's really helped me and I recommend Cindi to anyone. You won't be disappointed. read more

I started going to Cindi last weekend after my wife had visited her a few times. This is my first experience with accupuncture but so far my expectations have been surpassed. I quit tobacco recently and have been dealing with withdrawals, anger, frustration, and severe mood swings because of an addiction that has gripped me for two decades. I am now thirteen days tobacco free and because of the treatment Cindi provided me on Sunday, I actually feel calm and prepared to go the rest of my life without putting poison inside my body. Cindi takes the time needed to truly get to know her clients in their introductory interview and zeroes in on all of the important issues of why you went to see her in the first place. From there the experience only gets better. When Cindi puts needles inside of me it feels like I'm sliding down a waterslide of rainbows and swimming into a pool of puppies. The day after my treatment I started feeling nauseous with a pretty severe headache but that was just my body's attempt to rid me of the toxins that I have carried for years. Cindi is awesome. I have another visit scheduled this week and both my wife and myself will continue to see her for a long time. Thank you Cindi for bringing me rainbows and puppies! I had almost given up hope that I could still experience both of those things at the same time! read more

I saw Cindi at 38.5 weeks pregnant - I wanted to do a VBAC naturally. My doctor was going to do a c-section at 40 weeks if I didn't go naturally and I did not want to do that. I saw Cindi 3 (maybe 4?) times, the last time the day before the c-section. Cindi pulled out all the stops, I went into labor that night and I had a beautiful natural birth, an amazing experience. She was generous, patient - a great experience and a great alternative to a c-section! read more

I am so happy I found Cindi! She has been treating me for a few months for various things including overall health and well being. She listens to my needs and asks the right questions. I often find that with professionals, they can be pushy and only care about money and not your true well being, but this is not the case with Cindi. She really wants her patients to be happy and healthy. If I ever have any questions or want to let her know something, I email her and she always responds faster than I expect. Her office has a great atmosphere and I always leave feeling relaxed, no matter how busy my day was. read more

I have so much to say in this review about how much Cindi has helped me, but that would take paragraphs and paragraphs. She was an integral part of our journey through infertility and I would not have had much of the insight or knowledge of the processes we had to go through without her. She is kind, understanding, and kept me looking at the brighter side of things even when we didn't get the results we were expecting over and over. Our bundle of joy is now 9 months and I credit her fully for me being able to get and stay pregnant. There is so much more I could say, but I highly recommend her to anyone I meet who is struggling in this area. read more

Cindi is a very professional practitioner. I got her name as a recommendation and have recommended her to many. She turned me from a skeptic about acupuncture into a believer. I saw her for infertility issues and was lucky enough to get pregnant after my first office visit! I continued to see her through my pregnancy and again after the baby came for help with breast-feeding issues. She is well versed in herbs as well. I find her bedside manner the best among all practitioners I saw during my quest for pregnancy, prenatal and post natal care. She is familiar with many health care systems and provides excellent complementary care. read more

Ok, Yelp. I wrote a glowing review of Cindi about a year ago, and just found out that it's no longer showing up when someone checks out her page here. I'm not sure why that happened, but I'd just like to say it again: Cindi is fantastic! She's been so supportive of me, and is always professional and compassionate. When I started seeing her for allergies and asthma, I had no idea that I'd be virtually free of the inhalers, asthma and the bronchitis that I faced every winter. I love how she checks in with me at each visit to make sure that we're addressing any new issues as well. It's great to know that if I'm feeling stressed out and cranky, I'll be a much more mellow version of myself when I walk out of her office an hour later! read more

Cindi is the best around! We had been trying to get pregnant for over a year when Cindi was recommended to me. I had never been to acupuncture of any kind before and was curious, and admittedly a bit skeptical :). I started seeing Cindi in April. I found her initially to be warm, patient, willing to answer any of my questions or address any of my concerns since I had never received an Acupuncture treatment. Within the first couple visits and some bloodwork we were able to assess some of my vitamin and hormone levels and determine what was "normal" (per feedback from my current OB) and what was good for fertility specifically. She then recommended a series of supplements to increase a few of my levels to a place that were good for fertility. 4 months later we were pregnant, naturally and on our own! I continued seeing Cindi all throughout my pregnancy up through the end when I was a week overdue for induction treatments. Cindi appointments were something to look forward to; each session began with a quick update on what was going on at the time with the pregnancy and a quick discussion about any discomfort I was experiencing and how we could customize the treatment that day to help address anything. She is full of great tips and advice and knows the Bay Area birth community inside and out - she is a true expert in her profession in every sense and is just a lovely person. She really cares about her patients. If you have any hesitation about giving fertility acupuncture a shot please don't and please DO give Cindi a chance - she is a gem and will be your ally! read more

Cindi is awesome! She's dedicated to her patients, and I really like her gentle and caring approach. ( I was so relieved when i found Cindi, because my previous acupuncturist only seemed to care about money and pushing unnecessary herbs and products when i didn't need them.) We've been treating my headaches and immune system, and she's great with suggesting the appropriate herbs/supplements when/if needed. She also pays attention to my eating habits and gives guidance on which foods to eat or avoid depending on my symptoms. Her hours seem to be flexible, and her prices are good. Whether you're new to acupuncture, or you've been treated before, I highly recommend giving Cindi a call. read more

Cindi worked with me through my second pregnancy to help reduce swelling and other uncomfortable issues. And in the end she induced that baby! She was practical and calm in her approach; she made it very clear what she was doing and why, what she recommended, etc... She also has herbal training, but was respectful of my ambivalence to go in that direction during pregnancy. I didn't have insurance to cover; acupuncture is expensive. She was incredibly understanding and tried to accommodate the best she could. In the end, I would have paid anything for that induction! She is busy, which is good, but we never had trouble fitting our schedules together. She is also a mom to two! I know she works with both pregnant moms and others, men and women. I would recommend her to anyone, though my experience was all with pregnancy issues (and postpartum) issues. read more

I felt an immediate connection when I first met Cindi. She taught me how Eastern medicine could support my fertility and help reduce my stress. These treatments worked- my stress was reduced and I became pregnant after my first herbal treatment! Cindi is caring, professional, nurturing, and knowledgeable. I plan on seeing her throughout my pregnancy and for my post-natal care too. I highly recommend Cindi in supporting you through any of your fertility needs. read more

Cindi is fantastic!!! I had knee surgery 7 days ago. Yesterday, on post-op day 6, I went in to see Cindi for acupuncture. I saw improvement immediately! When I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the table, my knee bent so easily! The stiffness was so much better, I almost couldn't believe it. Thanks to Cindi, I am now down to using just one crutch instead of 2, and the range of motion in my knee is improving dramatically. I also have a lot less pain and swelling today. Cindi is amazing, and I highly recommend her!! read more

This review is long overdue as I have been seeing Cindi for almost 5 years! 5 years later, we have 3 healthy kids thanks to her! She is knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. I saw her throughout all my 3 pregnancies and each time, she has been there to respond to every email quickly and helped with whatever concerns I had. She has also helped to gently induce me and get labor started without any medical invention needed, which I am so thankful for! I've recommended her to many friends and they have not been disappointed. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is trying to conceive, already pregnant, and even for your overall well-being after! read more

After two surgeries(within two years) to get rid of endometriosis, I was told that I either needed to go on hormone meds or try acupuncture. Over the past year-and-a-half, I have had the privilege of being under Cindi's care to help with my endometriosis. Other than the time when I went three weeks without seeing her, I have not had any problems with my endometriosis. Since seeing Cindi, I have had little to no pain and have started having, what I would call, a more "normal" cycle. In addition to her professionalism and care, I really enjoyed the environment that she provides her clients. Her treatment rooms are very comfortable, as the beds have soft sheets, there is calming music playing, and at the end of each bed is a heat lamp for colder feet. I couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, calm, and attentive therapist. Even though I was under her care for endometriosis, she was able to help me with lower back pain, stress, and overall well-being. I feel like she really listened when I answered her questions, and I felt like she tailored by sessions to what I needed based on what I was feeling during that particular day of the session. I always left feeling like I was more relaxed and better balanced on the inside. read more
