Joey is amazing and so knowledgeable! She has a great bedside manner and makes you feel really cared for. I started going halfway through my last pregnancy for nausea. During the pregnancy my baby was breech in the third trimester and she helped successfully flip the baby before any serious medical intervention was needed. When it got close to my due date we started doing some induction things as well and I went into labor at midnight right on my due date. Planning to go to Joey earlier in future pregnancies and for any other acupuncture needs in the future!! read more

Incredible acupuncturist. I injured my neck a few years ago and green apple acupuncture was by far the only thing that got me through the initial very painful months. I was initially going weekly and slowly scaled back to now a maintenance regimen of every 4-6 weeks. Joey works magic with various methods of treatment involving needles, cupping, etc. One time I had bad bruising from cupping at my physical therapists office...after one acupuncture session with Joey the bruising lightened up immediately. It was truly remarkable. If you have any acute or chronic pain issues, I highly recommend trying acupuncture and Joey at green apple acupuncture is the place to go. read more

This review is long overdue, but I went to Joey back in February for fertility help. I'd been trying to get pregnant for 9 months and this was my last ditch effort before we started to seek medical help. She sat down and spent a significant amount of time talking to me about my cycle, my nightly temp charts and other things I could be doing. Then we did my needle session. I became pregnant that month! I don't want to give false hope to anyone that maybe she is some sort of miracle worker, but I believe talking to her and our session gave me a piece of mind I needed to allow myself to relax and conceive. She's very knowledgeable and helpful! Highly recommend! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the Micro needle experience Joey offers at Green Apple Acupuncture! Joey has nailed it with the trifecta of mind, body and beauty! Her newest treatment of acupuncture, with red light therapy, and ending on the Microneedle treatment for my face and chest has not only healed spots and marks on my face and chest but has also given my skin a renewal boost! The results- My skin tone has evened out, the texture is so much softer and most of all, the products I used before that weren't making much of a difference now penetrate deeper and my skin has improved dramatically! I did a total of (5) treatments and for maintenance I plan to do it quarterly, or maybe every other month, alongside my facials! Love Joey! And love the treatment above and before any other facials I have ever had! read more

I came here for help with two things: elbow tendinitis and anxiety. After just 3 treatments, my tennis elbow is gone. I continue to go here for acupuncture to ease anxiety and it has helped me so much. I sleep better, eat better, and am a much calmer person. Joey is so good at what she does, and she's easy to talk to, and the space is calming. Thank you Green Apple!! read more

I have been seeing Joey for years and can't recommend her enough! She is kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and experienced. She doesn't try to sell you anything - she gives genuine, quality health-related advice. I've had great results and highly recommend! read more

We started seeing Joey last year. Why? My 4 year old daughter has eczema. It was really bad when she was two and it fluctuates from okay to bad. We've tried a number of things including seeing a few dermatologists, applying several creams and steroids prescribed by doctors or recommended on Amazon. We have a friend that recommends/swears by Honeybee Acupuncture, but they are in the city and don't specialize in kids. How does Joey work? We started with a consultation and have made tweaks over time based on changes in my daughter's skin. Highlights: Monthly acupuncture sessions Removed from Diet: Gluten, Most Refined Sugar, Lactose Additions to Diet: Probiotics, Bone Marrow Diet Supplements Various Creams What's the verdict? I'm still skeptical, however, my daughter's skin has never been better. Her skin still gets irritated every now and then around the antecubital space/elbow pit, around the ears, and random spots on her body. My daughter is a champ. Despite all the pins in her body during an acupuncture session, she stays calm as Joey talks her through what's happening. Over time, we've cut back on the acupuncture sessions but are sticking strong to the diet. For the results I've seen and the peace of mind, I say working with Joey is a good investment. read more

I have been very satisfied with my results from her treatments and am constantly referring people to her. Green Apple is a fresh and current office. Modern decor that is simple yet uplifting, not typical of an acupuncture office. Green Apple Acupuncture and Joey are a Refreshing experience in alternative health care. If you've never tried acupuncture or are intimidated by it Green Apple is the place for you. read more

Hands down, seeing Joey is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had never had accupuncture before but I was desperate for relied and hate traditional medicine. I am dealing with a herniated disk in my neck, thyroid problems, and female stuff. In just 2 sessions I feel and see a difference. Reduction in hotflashes, weight loss, more energy, and the ability to find a peaceful mindset easily. When I need to relax I just imagine I am on her table and I feel at peach. She has given me fantastic nutritional advice and I am so grateful. read more

I started seeing Joey a few years ago for support for allergies and a few other things. More recently i saw Joey for support during my first pregnancy. At the end of my pregnancy i had some issues that caused me a lot of anxiety. Joey provided support for the specific issues and maybe more importantly helped ease my anxiety. Joey is the type of provider who truly loves what she is doing. She takes the time to talk and listen before treatment. She has a wonderful calm and caring energy. I also really love that Joey uses an online scheduling program so you can easily set up appointments. If you are considering acupuncture for the first time treatments start with a discussion of you status. Then the needles are placed. The needles are very thin and very gentle, in most cases you will barely feel them or not feel them at all. Then you get to rest and relax for the remainder of your session. I always leave feeling calm and relaxed. In addition to acupuncture treatment, Joey will also discuss diet or lifestyle changes to help address your problem. The wonderful thing about acupuncture is it treats the whole system where your doctor may just treat your symptoms. If you are looking to support your health or address some issues you may have i highly recommend acupuncture. If you are looking for an acupuncturist in the Danville area i highly recommend Joey at Green Apple Acupuncture. read more

My BF got me a voucher from Groupon to get about a 45 minute session last summer. Though I never know how to gauge a service if my first visit is using a Groupon, I had a very pleasant experience. Joey's energy is very good, and she pinpointed some of the anxiety issues I had been having when I answered her questions about the reason for my visit. She went right into the treatment, which I appreciated since I felt like it maximized my time there rather than spending time answering more questions. I feel asleep within about 5 minutes of breathing and I woke up rested and energized, which I was not expecting at all. I would definitely recommend visiting Joey. I have little knowledge of acupuncture, but I found it to be effective for clearing my head and providing relaxation. I'm still intrigued to learn more about it, the process, and the various herbs involved. She also mentioned that she provides a student discount, for those of you cramming with me. read more

I absolutely love Joey. She is so intelligent, knowledgeable and understanding. I've tried acupuncture before with minimal results. I am benefiting from her work tremendously. Although I started seeing her for a particular issue that is no longer relevant I am continuing to see her monthly due to the benefit I am receiving in stress and pain relief. I highly recommend Joey for her knowledge, gentle honesty and compassion read more

My main reason for starting treatment with Green Apple Acupuncture was because of knee pain. I am a weekend warrior and had hurt my knee playing soccer. I made my first appointment and Joey emailed me my paper work prior to my first visit. This was great because i really hate trying to fill out my medical history in reception areas. Another great thing was that they sent me an email reminder about my appointment. The building was easy to find and the reception area was warm and calming. Joey reviewed my medical history and asked detailed questions about my knee pain and also PCOS. I was looking for an alternative way to treat my knee besides resting or not playing soccer(which my doctor would've told me). Joey suggested that i speak with my OBGYN about my PCOS and to get some tests done to see how my "lady parts" are looking. After we finished talking, i started my treatment. She told me what to expect (since it was my first time) and started treatment. After i had several pins in me, she told me to relax and that she would return in 20 minutes and that i might fall asleep which would be good. As soon as she left the room i crashed out...it was the best 20 minute nap i have ever had! After my treatment was complete i felt an immediate difference in my knee. I have been going to GAA on average every ten days since the beginning of May, my knee pain is gone. I am also taking herbs to treat my condition (PCOS) that has worked better than traditional medicine. I have recommended GAA to several friends and family members. Joey is very professional, organized, friendly and really cares how i am doing as a person, not just a patient. You should try out her community hours, it's a great way to relieve stress. read more

Acupuncture has been one of the best things I could have done for myself and Green Apple was just the place for me. Joey is amazing! She is attentive, knowledgeable, professional, and very in-tuned to what you're going through. Joey explains the treatments and asks lots of questions to try and get to the root of your problem. My main reason for seeking out acupuncture was for stress and anxiety and after receiving treatments for a few months now, in conjunction with Joey's other recommendations (exercise, the right diet, herbs, etc.), I am doing much better. The location is easy to find and the office has a modern, relaxing feel to it. I would definitely recommend Joey's services to family and friends. read more

Joey quickly squeezed my husband into her schedule and greatly relieved his pain from a back injury. He walked in hunched over and in severe pain and walked out standing stress with huge pain relief. Thank you Joey! read more

Joey was very nice and clear about my situation and her suggestion to how to treat it. You can schedule and manage your appointments online. I found it to be very convenient. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for acupanture treatment. read more

When my beloved acupuncturist moved to Santa Cruz, I was in the market for a new practitioner. I had high expectations, considering my remarkable past experience, and did some shopping around. When I met Joey, it had been years since my baby was born. I had begun to re-experience hot flashes and night sweats so badly, they were coming every minute!! EVERY MINUTE. NO EXAGGERATION. It was brutal. I hadn't gotten my period in 3 months. I started seeing Joey every-other week and taking Chinese herbs daily. The goal was to extend my period to age 45 (5 years), to prevent long-term use of synthetic hormones; minimize hot flashes/night sweats; and reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer (associated with early menopause). Since I began seeing Joey 1.5 years ago, I no longer have hot flashes and my periods have resumed regularity. Joey is is so kind and compassionate, wise and supportive. She is patient and works through any concerns I have in a calm and reassuring manner, week after week. After years of experience, I'm getting that acupuncture is simply amazing but having the right acupuncturist is also tremendously important. Call Joey. She's a treasure. read more

What a lovely way to start in the world of Acupuncuture. Joey has an office so pleasant and relaxing, yet convenient to downtown Danville. Being a novice, I wasn't sure what to expect - but Joey patiently answered all of my questions and put me at ease. By the time I left my first appointment, I felt completely relaxed & renewed. I can't wait to go back! read more

I felt immediately comfortable coming into a serene environment. Joey is both personable and businesslike. I felt good about her asking me questions about ways in which my body experienced stress. This was good individuation. The acupuncture treatment for me (my first ever) amazed me! The needles felt like TINY pricks. The pain was FAR less than pricking my finger that I do daily because of diabetes to test my blood sugar level. I presented with general stress and specifically swelling and residual soreness from a recent root canal. As I lay on the table, my mouth muscles pulled into a smile without my making it happen. The needles were so light that as Joey removed some at the end of the treatment, I realized I had literally forgotten they were there. With other needles, there was a tingling, but no unpleasant sensation whatsoever. When I was done with the treatment, I literally had a LOT more energy. I was stretching from side to side (happily!) bending and feeling great energy in my body. My smile stayed on my face all day. I felt as if I had received an hour and a half massage but better, truthfully, because I had so much ENERGY! It was a different feeling than the relaxation that comes from a massage. I liked it better! Joey also pressed two fingers on my trapezius muscles (either side of the neck leading to the shoulders) where I always store stress and, again, in a couple of minutes it was as if some one had been massaging that area for a long time because there was a real release. I expressed to Joey that I was amazed by my body's response. She explained people respond differently (makes sense). All I know is my body responded beautifully. Today, I woke with a great attitude about life. No sensitivity or bruising whatsoever. It is absolutely worth the half hour drive and I will DEFINITELY go back. read more

Joey at Green Apple is great. I am from the UK so I hadn't had much experience of acupuncture and I was a bit nervous and skeptical at first but Joey's calm and reassuring manner made be immediately at ease and more importantly the treatment has had a significant positive impact on the frequency and intensity of my migraines, just when I was about to give up hope! Thanks Joey read more

I was a skeptic of acupuncture and to be honest a little worried about having little needles in me (I've past out almost every time getting blood drawn.... I know I know). My wife had been seeing Joey for her back pains and every time she came home it was "Joey this , Joey that... She does a great job" urging me to go try it out. It wasn't until I had severe allergies this past spring where my eyes were practically shut, I could not breath out of my nose, and it was impossible to sleep I tried Green Apple out. I think it was after my 2nd time seeing Joey that my symptoms were 100% gone. It was the weirdest thing. No more stuffed nose, no more pounding headache, no more sleepless nights, no more allergies. I'm now SOLD not just on acupuncture but on Joey and Green Apple. I've told everyone in my office about the great experience and I urge you if you have any issues that need attention to call her. I'm telling you it will change your life. read more

I really can't say enough positive things about Joey at Green Apple Acupuncture. I have battled a low thyroid for years and despite being "controlled" on meds, I had low energy, weak digestion, and looked like a blowfish from water retention. I had heard great things about her from friends at a party so I decided to give her a try. I found Joey to be very knowledgable, professional, and attentive. She discussed dietary changes to make and gave me some herbs to take in addition to acupuncture. After the first treatment, I could tell a big difference in my energy levels and digestion but after seeing her for a while, I honestly feel like a new person. My Endocrinologist has been so pleased with my lab work and has since such a difference in my symptoms, she asked what I was doing differently! Joey has become an integral part of my healthcare team and I find myself calling her first when I feel a cold coming on, allergies,etc... I'm so thankful that I found Joey!! read more
