This place is such a hidden gem. Even though the Yelp reviews aren't the best, I had to do my own separate investigation about how well this place delivers. I had enough good feedback from local Chinese community members in that this place is the real deal. The Chinese herbalist is renown within the community for her magical gifts of detecting any imbalances in the body. Bless her heart. She must be in her 90's but still very charming and full of smiles. Fortunately, there was a translator that helped with my first experience. I believe she's a part time worker there but it made it much easier -- the staff primarily speaks Mandarin. I shared very minimal information but the herbalist was able to pinpoint my every physical and spiritual complaint by simply putting two thumbs on my wrist. It was super cool to witness. Soon after, she wrote down her prescription for me and sent me to the counter for my herbal concoction. The ladies assembled the herbs that I needed for my current situation. I was asked to take the herbal supplement twice a day for 7 days. I'm happy to report that I'm on day #2 and can feel an improvement. Once my "chi" is at a better balance, I look forward to returning for other health needs (i.e., help with weight loss, etc.)

Although this place is small they got a great selection of items. My acupuncturist gave me the names of some herbs to get and since I don't know anything about it or where to find it, I asked the cashier for help. She kindly got them for me.

The Chinese Mandarin name Jianhua, on the shop's signboard.

A well-stocked Chinese pharmacy with friendly and helpful staff. Dr. Wu Zhen (Mon, Tue, Thu, Sat) is venerable, in practice since 1966; "knowledgeable" is an understatement. Owner Julie is caring and competent. There is an English speaking doctor on Sundays.

I bought 100 grams

I bought 100 grams of herbal powder today. After I got home, I weighed it and it only 73 grams.I tried 2 scale and they are same. I checked my scales and they are accurate.

This is my go-to acupuncture spot. Although I wish they had an online booking option, I enjoy that…read moreI'm typically able to get same day appointments by calling in. The location is small but extremely convenient and the acupuncturist is always kind and thorough. I'm lowkey convinced he's a magician because I always have instant pain relief after I leave here. My last visit was for an elbow sprain, I walked in with 8/10 pain and after my 30 minute session I could already feel the relief. By the time I got home, the pain reduced by 50% and my mobility was up. I haven't tried the Chinese herbal medicine portion of the clinic but I'm very interested and will probably look into it soon. Highly recommend dropping by if you're dealing with any type of pain.

After taking the herbs, my allergies have gotten much better as well as some food intakes. The receptionist is super nice. I thought they take walk ins, which I came around 3pm, to tell me to come back at 5:20pm for the next appointment. I guess I could of called first when I first came but the reviews said that they take walk ins. A week later, for my second appointment, I came at 12:30pm. They had a sign that they don't take walk ins. Both appointments for some reason had me waited about 20-30 mins after check in before seeing me. I did give her feedback about why, and she said because the doctor was doing acupuncture. I think in the future they should plan that out if it was going to take longer or not. Overall the experience was great. Doctor is super chill and nice. Taking the medicine is a breeze. I like that it's in powder form so traveling to work is easy to take with just a cup of warm water in my thermal.

Tiffany and Wesley are both so kind and knowledgeable. They do face and body needles to treat…read moreholistically. I was able to strengthen one side of my face that was weaker with acupuncture. I went for 3 days to induce my pregnancy. Started at 38 weeks and gave birth a week early at 39 weeks. Weasley would ask me to walk for 30 minutes with induction needles in my skin. Then I would spend the rest of the time lying down with needles. The experience of being induced with needles is wild. I would feel a flutter during the walk. Those were contractions!! My last session was on Thursday afternoon and the bloody show started 8 am the next day! I went on to have a successful birth :) Thank you Wesley for your care and kindness! I wish I lived nearby once again so I could see them often as I did (My picture was uploaded by the clinic with my permission ^_^)

I texted her again the next day. no response. So I had to call the office, the same lady picked up the phone and finally checked for me and said my insurance does cover but it is in-network so I don't go to their office because using my insurance they will have less reimbursement. Terrible office that doesn't want to help future patients and only wants money.

I have not had a recurrence of the acute pain resulting reduced mobility that led to me to find Health Tune-Up and Dr. Xia in the first place, several years ago. Some of the support staff have turned over over the years, but all have been efficient and pleasant and the treatment is highly effective. I am able to maintain my mobility and posture thanks to this healthcare provider. Highly recommend if you haven't tried acupuncture; nothing else was working for me until I found Dr. Xia's treatment.

I've been on a long journey that started with Western medicine and dealing with autoimmune disease…read more Specifically Graves' disease. Through all of this, not one of my doctors could tell me anything about the root causes or triggers of my auto immune disease. Just that Research shows that there is a link to stress as well as a hereditary About three months ago, I started seeing Michael Eugene Brownand Shanti Ma at Abundant Heaven Integrative Acupuncture, I received an acupuncture treatment and Craniosacral therapy treatment from Shanti Ma. Through talking with her and the treatment I feel like I gained a better understanding of how I hold stress in my body. While receiving the treatment I had a memory of my father from childhood and a way that he held his body when he was concentrating that my sister and I used to laugh about. I realized, in that moment that I had the exact same stress holding patterns as my father. I think that after this treatment I have had better access to noticing when these neuro pathways are activated and being able to "hit the reset button " which usually involves slowing down and taking some deep breaths. Shanti has an online class called vagas nerve deep dive that I have started that is amazing so far. This class includes exercises that give you access to the parasympathetic nervous system. Michael prescribed some Chinese herbs. after a month of taking them my bloodwork is finally revealing signs of remission allowing me to wean off of other medication. The correlation between starting the the treatments with Michael and Shanti Ma and the drastic improvement in my bloodwork as well as improvement in double vision and eye pain are amazing. modern medicine, does not seem to have a clear understanding of the root causes of auto immune diseases. And there are other forms of medicine that have been around for much longer. And they work! They really work! Thank you Michael and Shanti at Abundant Heaven Integrative Acupuncture

Partnering with Shanti has been a game changing experience for me and I couldn't be more thankful…read morefor our partnership. She is a true healer in every sense of the word. Not only is she an endlessly kind, patient, and compassionate human being, but in determining your care plan she is endlessly thoughtful and judicious in her approach. She takes the time to gain a clear understanding of your health history and couples that with her deep knowledge and experience to create a customized treatment plan. Once Shanti sets up a strong foundation for your care plan, she continues to adjust based upon your evolving needs. Each session she starts with an assessment of symptoms and how they have changed since your last session with her. Based on the information you provide she expertly determines a treatment plan for the day - all of which is clearly communicated with you to ensure you are 100% comfortable and aligned. In putting forth a treatment plan, Shanti is able to draw from a number of modalities that she is trained in. I have personally benefited from her arsenal of treatment modalities across acupuncture, Chinese massage, cranial sacral therapy, and herbal supplement recommendations. She truly is the best holistic health care practitioner I have ever come across and what genuinely sets her apart is how deeply she cares for her patients. I have never worked with anyone so vested in my well being and healing and I couldn't tell you how grateful I am to her. She an integral part of my care team and I couldn't recommend her enough. Book her - she is sensational!
