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!

Mariko was able to assist my recovery in a speedy way and did small tweaks that helped. Such as when I said my left eye wasn't closing at night to sleep. The next day my eye closed enough that I didn't need to tape it shut! I also have stomach issues that she was able to pinpoint and I felt immediately better. Mariko also gave me herbs to address these issues. I am continuing my treatment here as my Bell's Palsy issues reverse and I'm discovering many other ways she can help my health!

Before I started seeing Nikki, I was trying to get pregnant for about 2.5 months. I didn't think I…read morehad fertility issues, but definitely felt that a little help in the right driection (maybe relaxing and moving some chi would help things along). I also had some shoulder issues I wanted to address, so I figured accupuncture was a good way to go. I emailed Nikki and she called me the next day, on her day off. She was able to get me in within a few days. I liked her immediately. We had our first appointment, I really enjoyed speaking with her, she put in a lot of time and seemed to care. We talked a lot about my history, both mental and physical and after my first appointment, she said she thought she could help me and asked if I would give her 6-8 weeks of seeing her once a week and adding in some herbs. I said I would give her 8 weeks (two weeks) and then I might see a doctor doctor. One cycle went by (this was within the first week of seeing her) and then another cycle went by and then surprise I was pregnant. I had made an appointemy with a specialist and didn't end up having to go. I have been seeing her for about 3 months now and I am 10.5 weeks pregnant. I continue to see Nikki to just help this little nugget stay in (first trimester), help stay comfortable with the pregnancy and my shoulders are a lot better, but we are still working through that. If you are considering trying accupuncture, Do it. If you are trying to get pregnant and are stressed or just want some extra help (because a little help never hurt anyone), call or email Nikki. Give her a few months, she will help. She is magic.

I was fortunate enough to snag an appointment today with Kristen for my first session of…read moreacupuncture. And what an incredible experience it was. 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.

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 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.
