Anahita was very helpful in her consultation and took great care to learn about my needs, my lifestyle, and areas she felt that needed work.

I was pleasantly surprised at all of the techniques (including,, but not limited to acupuncture, massage, cupping, etc.) she used to alleviate my pain and it really solidified my opinion that I was going to use her going forward for all my needs and has now become my go-to spot for muscle recovery, pain treatment, etc.

Unfortunately, like with some other reviewers here, my experiences were disappointing and unhelpful. Here are some highlights of my experiences: - Being hooked up to the TENS machine and subsequently, left alone/ignored for most of the rest of the visit, even when I had questions/concerns about the machine. (I'm talking, 20-30 minutes/this took up the bulk of each appointment time, with the shortest appointment between 40 minutes). Also, every single visit, I was given a different set; seemed like Susan misplaced the one I had from a previous appointment each time. - Having ultrasound gel spread over my hand..maybe 5-10 minutes - At 2 appointments: a 2-3 minute hand massage My hand saw little improvement by even this clinic's own objective assessments/using their measurement tools. Despite the lack of improvement even after coming several times, I was never given any additional exercises/recommendations for at-home. (I thought I might have been misinformed/ignorant to expect more or different services, but even my referring doctor and her assistants expressed shock that I was never taught/encouraged to do much home exercises. I did think that this practice wanted me to become dependent upon them/as a source of reliable revenue) This place is sadly another example of our greedy health-reactive system (not health"care")

The studio is a very calming place to walk into, and Deanna was very warm and put me at ease. I really appreciate the calmness there, and always looked forward to my sessions. She was extremely knowledgable and competent in forging a plan for me to help in each stage of the IVF process. I felt in very safe hands, and though I don't really know how the magic of acupuncture works, it made all the difference for me. I got pregnant, and have had a very comfortable, mobile, sane, easy experience that I am so grateful to have had given the high risks of my pregnancy. I am now a week away from delivering my baby, and would recommend Tao to anyone struggling with health or fertility issues.

I really appreciated my experience here. I think I was an "open-minded skeptic" coming for my first…read moreever acupuncture. The approach to talking about my injury was "accessible" to my "western medicine" upbringing. And most importantly: my third visit was like turning the switch off for my pain. I probably had a pinched nerve in my neck, but due to delays seeing a pain specialist through my primary care, I was trying anything. I ultimately was seeing a "western medicine" doctor and Tao to Wellness at the same time. But the timing of my pain shutting off is strongly suggestive that acupuncture played a big part in shortening the duration (which my "western medicine" pain specialist had suggested would be possible). Deanna was my acupuncturist.

The first time I saw her, it was at the recommendation of a friend who was taking classes in the Hendrickson method. At the time, I was suffering from chronic back pain. I was quite surprised, because during that first visit, she did targeted massage work and used an activator tool. She suggested that I see her a couple more times and I did. She did some manual manipulations during the later sessions which I found surprisingly gentle and not scary at all. After three visits, my back pain was completely gone. Since then, I have learned how to move properly. But I'm an active person and can put my body through a lot of strain sometimes. So part of my management includes scheduling an appointment for a "tune up" on occasion. I've seen her for all kinds of aches and pains over the years - hip, foot, ankle, toe, elbow, as well as my back. She can work on it all. In fact, I just saw her Tuesday night because I'm training for a weightlifting certification event and tweaked my back during practice. I felt better as soon as I got off the table. Now it's Friday and I feel ready and able to do my weightlifting certification this weekend! I am honored to include Michelle as an essential member of my healthcare team.

My own case in recent times of lower and middle neck pain took me to two months worth of renown practitioners of bodywork, orthopedic acupuncture all of which were relieving for about one day. Sleep deprivation was becoming a crisis, and I decided to go to the famous Hendrickson clinic in Kensington only to learn that Tom Hendrickson retired and closed his clinic. One of his top practitioners was Dr. Michelle who had gone into private practice on Solano Avenue. I immediately signed up, and amazingly I got 90% relief on the first visit that was lasting and get me to sleep at night. I've gone once per week on four more occasions, and now the problem is fully resolved. Dr. Michelle's work is very gentle and extraordinarily precise. I teach human anatomy at local colleges, and I was surprised by her knowledge and precision. She works for a considerable amount of time preparing the musculature and has been using the gentle activator tool to correct scoliosis on me along with muscle education to release cramped scalenes and levator scapula muscles. On the last three occasions she did gentle cervical manipulations that fully completed the release of my neck cramps. I plan to go back for regular tune ups. I happily offer her my highest recommendation. I found that gentleness, full half hour preparations, precision and excellent knowledge of the body are some of the treasures she has to offer. If people go for her full half hour preparations, they will be much better benefited by Dr. Michelle's work. I'm very impressed and will be back regularly.
