Kaizen has saved my body so many times. I am a trans masc (post top surgery), with multiple autoimmune inflammatory conditions and hyper mobility. At Kaizen, I receive respect and the utmost care. Mandy is truly so caring, careful, and communicative with her adjustments. Kerrie's massage work is incredible, and two specific times typify their work. First, I needed a massage right before the holidays. I had been pushing myself really hard at work, and I just wanted to feel well enough to relax at home. Kerrie offered late evening massages right before the holidays, knowing how helpful that would be. Second, I recently pinched a nerve in my shoulder and was in excruciating pain. Normally this can last up to several weeks. I immediately booked just a 30 min slot with Kerrie midday and they completely fixed it!! Kerrie knew just what to do, and did so while confirming consent and that they weren't doing more harm. THANK YOU! My shoulder feels good as new. I will always return to Kaizen for care! read more

Dr. Mandy has been adjusting both me and my 10 yr-old ever since she took over the practice from her predecessor. She is super attentive, intuitive in her approach, a great communicator about what's going on, and deeply responsive to the various and many needs of my tired body. And I've seen Dr. Katie twice so far and have been impressed by her skill and quick learning of the tensions and strain in my body. Highly recommend this practice! read more

I've had lower back issues on and off for 15 years. I had an injury recently and found this practice in my neighborhood. I've been seeing Dr. Mandy and have been having a very positive experience. She is great at answering my questions thoroughly and caring and compassionate. I highly recommend the practice. Big plus - easy online booking. A modern positive experience! read more

I've had a few wonderful chiropractic sessions here with Dr. Mandy and Dr. Katie. Both were so thorough and caring. I leave feeling rejuvenated and will definitely be back again. read more

Dr. Barstable is great. She obviously knows what she is doing as a chiropractor, takes the time to find out what's going on, and is both professional and warm. I leave feeling well cared for, and highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Chan was very kind and knowledgeable. This was my first chiro adjustment and it felt very safe, effective, and informative. The office was very welcoming and clean with kind staff. read more

I've seen multiple practitioners at Kaizen, and they have all been wonderful. For massage therapy: I have done a lot of massage therapy over the past 20 years or so, from about a dozen different CMTs. Kerrie Doran is a uniquely excellent massage therapist in multiple ways. Kerrie goes above and beyond with informed consent, really ensuring you feel safe and comfortable. Before getting started, after asking about any areas I wanted to focus on, Kerrie outlined what she planned to do during the session, clearly incorporated what I shared into a custom plan, and then did exactly what she said she would do. After many experiences of massage therapists asking about focus areas and then proceeding to conduct the session in a seemingly boilerplate way that doesn't adjust to my requests, this was refreshingly impressive. Kerrie also has a unique way of "easing into" areas of tension with broad movements that allows her to work deeply without triggering guarding that can sometimes happen with deeper work. This made for a more effective and enjoyable session. Kerrie is highly skilled, and highly recommended! For chiropractic, Dr. Mandy Chan is clearly incredibly adept at finding where the body has misalignments and then effectively adjusting those areas to provide relief and put the body in the best position possible for healing. She works methodically without being rushed, and her expertise makes you feel confident that you are in great hands and receiving top notch care. On top of that, she is friendly and outgoing and helps you feel at ease. I have received many chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Katie Bastable, and she is an outstanding chiropractor and healer. Her ability to identify issues in the body, even without being told, often seems preternatural. She has such a caring, gentle, and effective approach that makes you feel instantly better. She has expertise across a broad range of healing modalities and is full of helpful tips to promote your wellness journey. I feel like I can go to Dr. Katie for almost any health concern, and I am very grateful for her care. The facility itself is also clean and professional, while also being inviting and comfortable. Overall, Kaizen is an amazing practice with amazing practitioners! read more

DR. Tracy Ta is amazing! Gentle yet very effective. She really takes time to address the areas where I was suffering. After the first visit alone a notice a massive change. read more

If you are a athlete, first responder, suffer from trauma, are very sensitive or have a very physical job, come here. They can help you. I have been coming here for about 9 months. I used to see Dr. Jess who has moved do to life changes. I currently see Dr. Mandy and Adelle the masseuse. I am a first responder and have had my share of stress/trauma. ( Like most of us right?) During these trying times, I think we ALL need some support. Now why are they good........... -Dr Mandy is an athlete, so she knows how to treat them -She works in your head, while working on your body. Meaning ,she explains things while she works on you. Things going on in your body and mind. -Sometimes the healing process can be frustrating and they are very supportive. -They understand the correlation between the brain, nervous system, structure of the body and your emotions. -They look at you as a individual but apply their knowledge to get you down the path of healing. -Some people think Chiropractors are just for your back but these guys have snapped my femur in place, taped up my foot, worked on my hips, adjusted my hand and will look at anything that is a concern. Adelle is pretty amazing masseuse. Very empathetic and high emotional I.Q. They offer massages with or without CBD oil. 30, 60 or 90 minutes. I get the 90 minutes with CBD oil. They use a high quality oil that I find incredibly soothing to my nervous system. It is like nothing I have ever experienced before. This group of women are talented and really care about their clients. read more

I have recently started seeing Dr. Tracy. In a short amount of tiem she was able to diagnose and treat a condition I was having trouble with and the results were really effective. Highly recommended. read more

I saw Dr Jess for Chiropractic and she is amazing. Her adjustments are spot on. She explains everything in a way that's easy to understand. She creates a plan and checks progress along the way. Her priority is to get you back to living your fullest life (not to keep you as a client forever). I started going to Ginkgo to do more healing a couple years after a motorcycle accident. She gave me helpful suggestions for things I could do to continue to improve my strength and stay well. And as I said above, her adjustments were always spot on. I had consistent weekly sessions for several months and the lingering pain and misalignment problems were all completely SOLVED in that period of time. It's been a year now and none of my pain has returned. I highly recommend Ginkgo. The rates are reasonable and competitive, if you buy a package the rates are a little lower. I always leave feeling more well adjusted than when I arrived... I bet chiropractors never tire of hearing that one. :) Thanks Dr Jess!! read more

I went to Dr. Mandy on the recommendation of a neighbor and was SO glad I did! I had been suffering with a neck injury for many months and had tried everything. Had turned to chiropractic a few weeks before but didn't like the approach the first person I saw took so that's when I found Ginko. Dr. Mandy took my trepidation into account and took the time to stop and explain every step of the treatment and was so immensely professional. After a few treatments I was well on the road to recovery. I'm so glad I found this place! read more

I have been receiving care from Dr. Mandy for almost 2 years now. I approached chiropractic care due to concerns of chronic back pain/soreness as well as the flare ups with my hands I was having that were approaching what felt like carpal tunnel. As someone who spends their life (and makes their living) working on computers this was really scary! Dr. Mandy always leaves me feeling phenomenal. Her whole-body approach to care is remarkable. Without my direction she immediately can pinpoint where things in my body are off. She pins, stretches, loosens and yes, releases tension and adjusts with the satisfying cracks of my back and neck. I don't get carpal tunnel flare ups anymore. I leave my sessions feeling incredible. Any issues I've had from overextending my body Dr. Mandy takes care of. Plus she's just a ray of sunshine no matter the day or hour. The Ginkgo staff and office are really lovely. They take their COVID precautions very seriously. There is hand-washing on arrival, temperature checks, and masks for everyone. Grateful to have this place and this care! read more

Dr. Jess is extremely thorough and great at what she does. I have heard several people say that she's the best chiropractor they've ever been to. When she intakes a new client she does a full in depth analysis of your body to create an individualized treatment and adjustment plan. My job is physically demanding and the neck and back pain I used to endure was getting to the point where it was unbearable. Regular adjustments from Dr. Jess have definitely helped get me back on track and feeling normal. I'm so grateful and somewhat disappointed I didn't seek her care earlier, but glad I finally did! I never realized how vital regular chiropractic care was to my health until I started receiving it. Dr. Jess also has wonderful experience with children of all ages. My daughter was diagnosed with a very mild form of scoliosis and her orthopedic doctor made no suggestions after the diagnosis. I, of course, sought something out on my own. Dr. Jess sees both myself and my daughter at the same appointment (super convenient for me!) And I am happy to say that my daughter's posture has greatly improved and the orthopedic doctor agrees her condition has not gotten worse, and maybe even looks a little bit better. Dr. Jess' knowledge in Sensory Development is also top notch and very impressive and something wonderful to consider if your child could benefit from that. read more

Mandy instantly knew what was wrong with me. Meaning my back. And even some other things that I didn't realize until she told me. I also brought my son, and he stood up so much taller after she was done with him. He is only 11 but loves it. read more

I have been to good chiropractors and bad/dangerous chiropractors in the past. Dr. Mandy Chan is easily one of the best I have ever seen. She is intuitive and really spends her time getting to know your needs and your body, and caters each treatment to whatever your system needs at the time. She never tries to force an adjustment, which in my opinion is a very important component of providing safe and effective chiropractic treatment. I have definitely noticed an improvement in the way my body moves and feels. Bonus perks: provides sound effects during adjustments. Also... the hyper volt. Ask for the hyper volt. read more

Wowza is Dr. Jessica Lips at Ginkgo Chiropractic a great Chiropractor! I initially saw her because my neck was getting less and less flexible. She did a full analysis (which included X-rays) and came up with a game plan to address my neck and lower back. I saw improvement in my range of motion within a few weeks. Her adjustments are precise and efficient and feel good (no pain - for those of you who might worry about that) Throw in a nice, bright, clean office, friendly staff, oh and parking and you wind up with an amazing experience with each session. Plus she's a lovely person. Highly recommended !! read more

I have had shoulder pain on and off from my job so I came in for a massage. I have had 2 massages with Adelle and I can't recommend her enough. She is extremely knowledgeable and capable. She finds the appropriate amount of pressure and is open to adjustment when it's too much. They offer CBD massage which is very relaxing and offers excellent relief. In summation: massage with Adelle. So good. read more

I see Dr Jasmine every week since June. I suffer from scoliosis and rib subluxations. I have seen a billion doctors and chiropractors and what I like about Dr Jasmine is is that she doesn't pretend she can heal me or fix me. She does however listen to what I need and has gently worked on my back and gotten me to the point where I am having about 30 percent of pain that i originally was having. I love her and will continue going to her as long as I live in the area. read more

I am so happy to have found Dr. Jessica Lips! I have been going to Chiropractors for over 20 years for minor car accident recovery as well as for maintenance adjustments. After moving to the neighborhood I needed to find a good chiropractor near me. What stands out the most about Dr. Lips' Chiropractic style is her thoroughness. Some Chiropractors only spend only 5 minutes with you and it seems they use the same adjustments every time - not the case here! At Ginkgo Chiropractic, Dr. Lips understands the body as a system and takes a holistic approach - assessing your diet, lifestyle, and fine tunes every visit. She has given me advice on nutrition and supplements to help increase energy and curb fatigue. She has a great firm touch and her adjustments are targeted and very effective. If there is a stubborn area, she is determined to get it relaxed, and does so every time. When I leave her office, I feel my absolute best, and also find that I have a renewed energy to take on my day - it's kind of like walking on sunshine...thanks Dr. Lips! read more

Love, Love, love this entire office! From entry to exit you can count on nothing but kindness. I am a big fan of and trust Dr Mandy as she had been able to get my body aligned with precision and grace. She has an intuition and approach that really works with my body and I am forever grateful. They are also the most high-tech, holistic Chiropractic office I have ever been to. If you want current medicine, it is here! read more

I have been a patient for about 6 months and I can't imagine my life without Mandy setting me straight! (literally) She is definitely a body whisperer. Really caring and thoughtful bunch, with great skills to boot. read more

Dr. Jess is literally a miracle worker. My foot feels so much better. I was so worried I had some complicated foot condition, but it felt immediately better after she adjusted it. I didn't know a dropped metatarsal could be such a painful thing and then easy to fix, once adjusted. She does all of her adjustments with care and personalized to your needs. With every visit, she is able to release the tension in my neck and adjust my spine and hips, etc., so that I always feel a million times better when I leave! read more

Kaizen Chiropractic & Wellness - So true! Thanks, Dr. Jess! - Chiropractors Near Me - Berkeley, California

I have been seeing Dr. Jess, for over 3 years, and my visits have become a crucial part of my health and healing. I feel comfortable in the space she has created. She is personable, thoughtful and intuitive. I'm also very impressed with how her and the other folks at Gingko Chiropractic have handled maintaining care during the Covid-19 pandemic. I have always felt safe and considered. Scheduling is easy, and I enjoy the moments I get to chat with Sonja, who coordinates clients from the front desk. I would whole heatedly recommend incorporating chiropractic into your life, especially at Ginkgo! read more

I love Dr Mandy! She is a major part of my healing after a significant back spasm event. She also coordinates care with my acupuncturist. Having the two of them work together has been amazing. I'm off all pain meds, 'back' at work, and feeling better than I have been in long time. read more

I have had great results recovering from my lower back injury working with Dr. Jess. She is very knowledgeable about the spine and nervous system and her explanations are easy to understand. I have been to chiropractors in the past that breeze through your adjustments like they don't really care about your body. Not the case with Dr. Jess. Not only is she very careful and precise with her adjustments, she took time to teach me physical therapy exercises and her cost for service is reasonable. Also, the customer service in the office, from receptionist to doctor, is top notch and I feel like a valued patient. I highly recommend Ginkgo Chiropractic! read more

Had a great experience with Ginkgo! Severe pain was fixed, then I was on the path to maintaining back health. Dr Lips helped me to learn a lot about how things work and relate to each other. I hope to keep going for regular check ups. read more

Dr Jessica is a life saver - many times over. I have seen her when my back has gone out and she fixed me up, I have seen her when I sick and fighting colds and when I'm, just super stressed - her adjustments helped me to feel like a person again and get through my day with more ease. read more

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Helped with a lower back ache I had for years, and with continued care I've been pain free!! Highly recommend Dr Jess! read more

Where do I start.. I wish I had found Dr. Jess earlier! I was having a lot of soreness in my neck and upper back. She told me that the numbness in my fingers may be related to the problem in my neck. She did a thorough analysis, and even x-rays. I've only been coming here about 3 weeks and already noticing incredible differences! She is defintely the best chiropractors I've ever seen. My neck has never felt this good, and the numbness in my hands has gone away!! Thank you Dr. Jess! read more
