I had an incredibly wonderful pregnancy and I owe most of it to Stacy, her acupuncture treatments and knowledge about supplements and nutrition. She helped treat my heartburn and poor sleep. I stayed healthy throughout my entire pregnancy and never felt like I was dragging. My energy stayed high, my spirits good. I felt great! I didn't suffer from the typical pregnancy woes and I truly believe it was due to Stacy's treatments. At one point, I had to skip a couple weeks of treatments and I really felt a difference. My ankles swelled up, my heartburn came back and I did not sleep well at all. What a miracle! When I went post-dates, I knew I wanted to induce. I went to Stacy and she did some gentle induction points and voila - baby was born the next day! Stacy has been wonderful for my postpartum care. She came to our home for a home-visit a few days after our baby was born. Her treatments helped me so much during that sensitive time. I highly recommend Stacy for women who are pregnant, trying to conceive or have just had a baby. She'll take great care of you!

She checks in with me at every session regarding my physical, mental, and emotional states, and each session is tailored to where I am at. She is warm and compassionate in conversation, while also being very precise and attuned in her treatments. I have experienced acupuncture with several different practitioners, and I really love the unique way Dawna brings in elements of acupressure and massage to her work...it's my favorite part, to be honest. She has also started me on herbs for the first time in my life, and I appreciate having care practices I can take home and utilize in between treatments. We are working on healing some long-term issues I have been living with, and I am so thankful to have her on my team. I wish I could visit more often. Thank you for everything, Dawna!

Chris is also one of the kindest techs I have ever met! He always put a smile on my face. I also loved getting my nails done with Christine. She is awesome! Johnny was an amazing tech that inspired me to get in shape when we went on our gym outings and the massage therapist was incredible! I also loved doing yoga with Mike. He was a fantastic yoga teacher! Sound Bath with Jade was awesome and seeing the incredible chiropractor was always something I enjoyed. Also, I had an amazing therapist! Michelle helped me so much. Grant, Joe, Graham, and Katie were very helpful, sweet and professional. Josie and Marina were the best nurses I have ever met. When Josie would come in, she would spend time with my dog when I was in Group, and she was so fun to talk to and would listen to me when I was having a difficult time, and she was so attentive to all of my needs . Randall and Brian made such great coffee and I always felt comforted when I would see them working the Night Shift. I wanted to give a special shout out to Brian for making me laugh when I was having a hard time and for caring so much about my Recovery. Everyone who works at Stillwater is genuinely so kind, caring and compassionate. I cannot say enough great things about Stillwater! I feel so confident in my sobriety and I know it's because I did the full program and Leah was the best case manager ever! I also want to give a special shout out to Leah because she went out of her way to make sure that I was doing well and taken care of. I definitely recommend Stillwater, and Gibson was the best chef ever and such a great guy! The food was absolutely delicious and the facility is absolutely gorgeous! Thomas is incredible and he would take us on really fun outings for the weekend and he would always make me laugh. I wanted to thank Ezra for doing my intake over the phone before I officially checked into the facility, and for making me feel so comfortable, and Avalon was wonderful, and I am so grateful to Kelly for helping me get into Stillwater!

I started seeing Jennifer about one month after suffering a severe herniated disc in my lumbar…read morespine. I forwent surgical options because I was hopeful my body could repair itself. Sure enough, with the help of Jennifer, it did. After a few weeks of steady treatment, my health improved by leaps and bounds. I've gone from crawling to the bathroom and taking short, painful showers to living my full life again. Now, with my back feeling better, I continue my visits for preventative maintenance. I have a traumatic history with needles (nausea, fainting), so Jennifer slowly worked up from conservative treatments to more aggressive treatments. Within the first few minutes of my first visit, this fear became a non-issue. The needles (more like filaments) are painless, and more often than not I would fall asleep shortly into the session. Jennifer's east-meets-west approach to acupuncture is a welcomed perspective in 2017. Her office is clean and peaceful. Her attitude is always positive and upbeat. She has never failed to treat me with patience and respect. Jennifer never fails to deliver the most relaxing two hours of my work week, and I look forward to working with her for years to come.

I called and texted as it said in her voicemail multiple times and never received a call back. I…read morewish I could have actually used her and wrote a great review, as it seems like she does great work.

Elisa is incredible!…read more I first reached out to her after I was given a medical diagnosis that was delivered in a pretty disturbing manner, so I was dealing with the medical condition, with the triggering and inconsiderate way I was given the news, and with the fact that the disease runs in my family and it's something I'd been monitoring in the past. From the first time I met with her and in every subsequent appointment, Elisa has offered me a wonderfully affirming space, as well as a deeply intelligent and mindful approach to supporting my wellness goals. Each time I've met with her for an appointment, I leave her office feeling stronger and more present in my own Self (body, spirit, mind), and the work that takes place in iur appointments continues to carry over and benefit many areas of my life. I can genuinely say that I am able to navigate life's challenges with more confidence and trust thanks to the work that she has done to support me. I highly, highly recommend her!

I came to Elisa after suffering from severe gut inflammation that had me in the hospital for nearly…read morea week. The doctors I worked with were unable to give me answers, nor were they able to treat my symptoms well. I was simply given pain and nausea medication and sent home. I was unable to eat, barely able to move or walk, and was completely debilitated by a lack of energy, pain, and stress. Elisa's work was nothing short of transformative. Not only did she help me directly address many of the symptoms of my condition (particularly the incredible pain and nausea), but she also helped me target the underlying triggers, especially the stress. I entered her office weak, in pain, and without much hope for my condition. I left without pain, with more energy, and free from an incredible amount of stress that I had built up in recent weeks. The visit was not only cathartic, but it set me on a course to recovery. I was able to eat a real meal for the first time in nearly a week, and my energy levels returned enough to allow me to go for a morning walk and even a run a few days later. My condition continued to improve over the next few days, and things became even better after my second visit. I cannot thank Elisa enough for her incredible work. My visit with her truly marked a turning point in my condition and has been the main catalyst for my healing. Further, Elisa is an incredibly empathetic and intuitive person. She made me feel comfortable, open to achieving my objectives, and hopeful about the work we were doing. Working with her was a pleasure and a fantastic learning experience. I cannot recommend her services enough.

At the start of the appointment I asked her if it would be possible to include Reiki in our session. Thankfully she was able to accommodate. First of all, the acupuncture itself was very pleasant and not painful (I just assumed it would be). She placed the needles in places that are known to enhance overall wellness as well as my scalp (still dealing with postpartum hair loss). Once all the needles were placed she stared on the reiki and I could feel it instantly. If you have never had reiki and are curious, I highly recommend it. Overall, I had such a great experience with Kristen. She was very accommodating with my appointment time and fit me in day of. She also had a crystal embedded heating mat on the massage table, which was a total delight. Highly recommend seeing Kristen if you are in Santa Barbara.
