Heather was my first acupuncturist! To this day she is one of the best healthcare providers I have…read moreever worked with. She is super empathetic, one of those people who you feel like you can say anything to. She helped me regain a cycle after a year of amenorrhea through treatments and gentle lifestyle advice. I credit her with helping me get pregnant after months of trying. She is a wealth of knowledge for all things related to your well being. I highly recommend Heather Bird!

I mainly went to Heather for Carpal Tunnel/RSI but she ended up helping me with all sorts of things…read morelike cramps, motion sickness stress, and colds. I had major wrist problem and the University of Stanford Orthopedic group said they would have to operate on me. I was too scared to have an operation so I found Heather. After a week of herbs and acupuncture I was able to use my wrist again and in about month I was 99% better. I know that sound too amazing to be true, and I would think the same thing before when people told me how Chinese Medicine cured them of this or that, but my fear of surgery made me try and I'm so glad I did. And if you just want to feel good her stress treatments are amazing. I would be on cloud 9 for days. I know everyone has some stress in their lives so I highly recommend it. It's way better then any pill your therapist could prescribe you. Oh, and the cupping feels so good after sitting in front of a computer all day. See if you can try that too. :) Heather has a great personality. She's super knowledgeable, warm and friendly. She bills your insurance for you and is located in Union Square. So convenient.

Annette is simply amazing. Her care, her touch and skills are wonderful. I love her space and the…read moreenvironment she has created and she is always wants to be completely accommodating to my needs and comfort (I'm pretty picky). I feel amazing after our sessions - incredible energy and just completely restored. She really takes the whole person into account - not just the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach (which I know is already very comprehensive but can be done more "dryly" and not always so tuned into how the person is actually doing while receiving the work). Even when I could only go once a month she remembered everything going on in my body and I just felt the heart she put into her clients. She asked for updates in between our sessions and when I sent them she was always quick to reply and inquire more. Her care and support through my process was really wonderful and authentic. I have seen a lot of acupuncturists and Annette is a top favorite.

I went for treatments a few years ago and was told they were covered by my insurance, surprise…read moreafter several visits they then told me they were not and I owed full amount due. To top it off, on my last visit, the Acupuncturist stuck needles in me while I was face down and left the room, never to come back to check on me the whole session. I was left in a very uncomfortable position with the neck raised too high but could not get up as I had needles in me. Left in worse pain than when I arrived. Do not recommend.

I have been getting acupuncture and fascia work now for several months now and when I say it's saved my life, that is a complete understatement. I've been in and out of doctors' offices for years and not a single one of them has actually helped my body (or actually really listened to me) even a FRACTION of the way that Still Life has. Honestly, it brings me to tears regularly thinking about where I'd be if I'd never found them and how utterly grateful I am. It really has started to given me my life back. Daniel provides the treatments and Cat keeps everything running smoothly in the front and behind the scenes. Cat is an exceptional human being - so warm and inviting, easy to communicate with, very flexible, and quick to respond! Daniel is the exact same in the treatment room. Do not be afraid to speak up about your preferences! He really takes the time to listen and sees the work as a partnership between the two of you. He has an immense amount of knowledge and is very professional and gentle, and he does everything he can to make you feel safe and comfortable in big and small ways. They do their best to work with your availability and offer discounts if you book six packs of acupuncture sessions. They are very reasonably priced. The office vibes are also very welcoming and soothing. Truly, there aren't enough good things to say about Still Life. I'm a client for life now. They're also big foodies and have great recommendations if you like to talk grub or just wanna talk about life in general!! :D

Lately, I have been under tremendous stress, so the last time I went to him, I told him I just needed to relax and mellow out. He placed pins in different areas and I relaxed completely within about 2 minutes. He is such a gem. And he is so reasonably priced, I like to go every week just to relax. It helps a lot. I am so happy. Love Ben!

Decided to give Stephen a try due to the rave reviews he has on Southern Marin Mothers Club and the…read morevarious awards he's won in the community as the "best of...". On initial meeting he came across as quite serious, somewhat reserved and uber business-like/professional. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and I'm sure this persona instills confidence in many of his clients, but I tend to prefer establishing a more personal rapport with my practitioners, which lets you see their true personality and who they really are. I view it as a partnership, vs. a Teacher/learner relationship or a superior/underling relationship. (I know many folks like their practitioners or physicians on a pedestal of elevated knowledge and superiority - I don't go for that.) He warmed up a bit on subsequent visits, but always maintained a certain level of aloofness that I associate with old school conventional medical practitioners. He doesn't freely describe his impressions and findings as you go along - I found I had to initiate the conversations about what he was finding with his assessments. After seeing him for several weeks, two main issues came up for me that made me decide to return to my previous practitioner... 1. His needle technique hurts! Granted, I'm pretty wimpy, but I've been to four other TCM practitioners and have never had the needles hurt in this manner. Essentially out of 8-12 needles per session, only 1-2 would go in with a minimal amount of pain & the rest really hurt. Many of the sites would bleed more than just a tiny drop after needle removal and again, this has not been common in my experience. I found myself dreading appointments because of my anticipation of pain with the needles. 2. His recommended herb changes were not helping me feel better. He had recommended a different course of herbs than my previous LAc, but I was not having improvement and was having issues keeping with the program due to side effects here and there from the various things. I was actually feeling worse and could no longer blame it on other things going on in my life, such as stress, etc. I began to suspect the herbs. All-in-all I decided to go back to my previous acupuncturist because I was feeling so lousy. Within just a few days of returning to Miki Shima and going back to Miki's recommended treatment plan I was feeling amazingly better! For whatever reason Stephen and I just aren't a good fit. He seems a nice enough guy and tons of people love him, I dread telling him that I'm "breaking up" with him to go back to my previous acupuncturist, but hey - people get back together with their ex'es all the time, right?

Also I found the beautiful plants and fragrant flowers help you feel at peace while you heal. This is not a five-star hotel. It's a healthcare center that assists you in healing naturally, while feeling safe and supported.
