I have been seeing Dr. Hanna for about four weeks now and have been loving every moment! She is a professional and provides wonderful care. I had thought my prior acupuncture experiences were fine, but walking into this space was a step into the clouds. The front desk is immediate upon walk in and there are some activities to get you in your zen state until your appointment. Regarding the treatment, they take extreme measures to make sure you are blocked from noise and can focus on yourself and maintaining a calm space and surrounding. I've never been so at peace that I can fall asleep in five minutes. I'm so appreciative of Transformational Acupuncture and Dr.Hanna. read more

This place has literally transformed me. I feel the warmth and welcoming ethos from everyone very time I come in. I came in with permanent Bell's palsy and the features that often times is very distinctive. Within just a few visits, signs of facial movement were very visible. Although my Bell's palsy is permanent, it's to a point that no one notices and I have my confidence back because of it. I know without a doubt that the electroacupuncture I continue to receive has changed my life. read more

Experience with the so‑called doctor was alarming. He had no patience for questioning whether a service was okay for a pregnant woman, brushed off questions that were clearly outside his scope, and offered vague reassurances instead of allowing checks with an actual medical professional. On top of that, he was pushy about locking into pricey packages and add‑ons, turning what should have been careful prenatal support into a high‑pressure sales pitch read more

Had an amazing first time acupuncture experience here with Hanna. She walked through my health concerns with me and was very knowledgeable about the issues I've been dealing with (SIBO and endometriosis). The acupuncture itself was painless and very relaxing. Would definitely recommend read more

I first made an appointment when I had planter fasciitis. All the practitioners were skilled and professional. They listened to me and explained their treatment and methods. After the first few visits my planter fasciitis started to clear up and eventually went away completely. I did stretches that helped also. More recently I have had some treatments to alleviate pain following a fall and broken bones and surgery. Dr. Miramon's treatment has been a big help. He is a godsend. read more

I enjoy the sessions at Transformational Acupuncture. I can always find parking nearby, even though they are in Dupont Circle. The sessions always begin on time, they ask me some pointed questions, put the needles in, and I nap. I went there because I had a bad ankle sprain that seemed not to be improving much, but immediately after my first session, the swelling had reduced and I was hardly even limping. Impressed, I made a second appointment, and had similar results. The ankle feels much better now. I liked the people who took care of me there, and I feel confident that they know their craft. read more

I've been so disappointed by the customer service. I bought a gift card for my dad for $125 in December 2019. It didn't have an expiration date on it. He was planning on booking an appointment in March 2020 when covid hit, at which point everything closed down. When things reopened and were safer, he was ready to book an appointment in December 2022, and I called to make an appointment for him. I told the receptionist I had a gift card and read her the gift card number. She said she wasn't sure they'd accept it but she'd talk to the manager and call me back in 30 mins. She never called me back. I was surprised to hear they might not accept it given that there was no expiration date or fine print and he wasn't able to go bc it was closed during covid. I called about once a week for the next six weeks and the receptionist never picked up again and I left voicemails each time and never got a return call. It made me wonder if they were screening my calls. I feel robbed honestly and I feel bad that my dad never got to have the treatment. read more

Transformational Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've just had my third visit and will continue. Many positive things to say about T.A. One is location convenience for those of us in DC. Just two block from the Dupont Metro. Booking: Another is the easy online booking and the grace they offer when you need to reschedule. Atmosphere: Yet another is the cleanliness, orderliness, and quiet nature of the space. And lastly, the staff is very friendly. Staff: In poor form, I haven't asked the office manager/reception woman's name, but she is vey warm, helpful, and patient. Esther has been providing my care and she's incredibly warm, attentive, and effective. I have been visiting due to some arthritic conditions in my neck and knee. Game changer. I have been a patient of acupuncture for 24 years on the west and east coasts and my experiences have been quite varied. T.A is well worth my time and care. read more

Excellent professionals and service. Transformational acupuncture has helped me so much with my pain.

I have been seeing Hanna on a weekly basis for a month. She really listens to me and adapts her treatment based on how I'm feeling. She has such a gentle touch - I barely feel the needles. The treatment room has several beds separated by screens and curtains. There are white noise machines and music so you really can't hear your neighbors. It's a relaxing experience each time. read more

Obsessed with Hana! She's amazing. I wish I could go every day. She changed my life in one visit.

Smart, caring, skilled practitioners in a highly professional practice. Excellent experiences from soup to nuts.

I am so grateful to the AMAZING team at Transformational Acupuncture! They have been an instrumental part of my recovery from a significant health issue. THANK YOU SO MUCH Adam, Lorraine and Hanna! I cannot recommend them highly enough! They truly are the best! read more

Amazing place. Fantastic practitioners and the best customer service ever. I was new to acupuncture and this has been a great experience.

Clean and professional - very on-time. I was having some respiratory problems and I often go to an acupuncturist to clear them up. I think the change in temperature was exacerbating my reactive airways disease. I easily scheduled an appointment. The clientele was very DC - young professionals. The lobby is very clean and modern. I had a short conversation with my acupuncturist, who I felt understood my needs and was very attentive. I was so relaxed on the table I'm sure I was snoring. Sorry everyone else! Anyway, long story short, my cough is gone and I really like this place. Would go back. read more

I have been a patient for nearly a year. I went in with a whole plan for my life. I shared it with Adam and then we got down to understanding what was really going on with me. My plan has changed. I am transforming and I am sooo greatful. Though I am not on the same path.. I am so confident that I am am the path I am suppose to be. Thanks for hearing me and educating me. read more

Dr. Adam is wonderful. His intake is thorough, thoughtful, and perceptive. He immediately understood what I wanted to work on and developed a tailored treatment program. I was somewhat unsure of being in a semi-open space, but the energy is incredibly calm. Dr. Adam and his staff are kind and efficient. read more

I came to Transformational Accupuncture after 1.5 years of agonizing shoulder pain from a pinched nerve. Massage and physical therapy did not seem to make any progress, and I was desperate to try anything to reduce the pain. I found this studio after all the positive reviews on Yelp, and could not have asked for a better experience ! Upon arrival, the acupuncturist will meet with you to discuss your symptoms. You will then be led into a quiet room for accupuncture, and then have the remaining session to relax with the needles in you. My first session was a little painful, as I'm sure I was very tense from not knowing what to expect. But after 1-2 sessions, I could feel a significant improvement. I'm coming up on my 7-8th appointment and I barely feel any pain. Life changing! All the therapists are wonderful. Mariana is very gentle and is very attentive in every session! They recently changed their insurance policy so check coverage in advance if that was a payment option. HSA/FSA is also accepted. read more

I've seen a total positive turn in my mental and physical health since I began coming here, after trying some other local practitioners. I can't recommend enough! read more

I did 3 labor induction sessions during my 38th week of pregnancy, and went into spontaneous labor at 38w+4d! My son was born the next day. Transformational Acupuncture is extremely relaxing and clean. Highly recommend!! read more

What a wonderful studio! I'm so glad I found this place. I've been working with Andrei for a few months now and he is a healer! Truly goes above and beyond. The studio is very friendly and has a calming and relaxing vibe. I highly recommend going here read more

A few years ago I developed severe nerve pain in the middle of my glut that radiated down the back of my leg. I went to a doctor in Bethesda who scheduled an MRI. The MRI results weren't conclusive, only that in I had massive inflammation in my pelvis. Idiopathic i.e., no idea where it was coming from. With no relief, and no diagnosis, I decided to try acupuncture. As I made my way into the studio for the first time I could barely walk. I was limping and very worried I may be this way forever. After just one treatment with Courtney, I could walk correctly again. After three sessions my nerve pain disappeared entirely. After one year I am back to running with no pain (the measure of true success in my opinion). I am still doing weakly sessions with Courtney, to manage inflammation. I am still in awe of acupuncture and am delving into holistic medicine as a way to love and care for my entire body. I would recommend Transformational Acupuncture to anyway. I feel blessed to have met such a talented team of people, including the studio owner Jeremy, and Nina and Erin at the front desk. Acupuncture can and will change your life, if you let it. read more

I'm a recent transplant to Washington DC via Seattle Washington. In Seattle I had a great Acupunturist (Mariko) who took care of my aches and pains. I was a bit bummed out on leaving her behind. However, Mariko recommended that I visit Transformational Acupunturist! And I'm so glad that I did. The staff is amazing, from the warm smile from Nadia that greets you as you enter the office. To the amazing Acupunturist Jamie Pineda who made my lower back pain and seasonal allergies disappear with in two sessions! I still miss Mariko.... but, I feel that I found a new home in Transformational Acupunturist. read more

Transformational Acupuncture has friendly, caring, warm, and knowledgeable staff. From day one they listen, get to know you, are just interested in you as a person. They offer many avenues to address your problems and take the time to explain everything in depth. The environment is welcoming and peaceful. I highly recommend Transformational Acupuncture. read more

Transformational Acupuncture has offered me a glimmer of hope that my aches and pains may actually subside if I give them a little TLC and a good dose of ancient Chinese medicine. My situation: Chronic neck pain with limited range of motion. Shoulder pain particularly in overhead movement. Both injuries have been haunting me for 1+ years now, so I have come to think that this is my 'new normal' when really, it shouldn't be. Prior to acupuncture, I a) continued my normal workouts for too long, ignoring pain b) tried physical therapy for 4 months which provided some relief but also probably overworked the muscles c) steroid regiment for 1 week. A friend of mine who played collegiate level sports told me that she was always amazed how acupuncture could alleviate pain for her, so after persuading myself that it was worth a shot, I marched into TA. The vibe: The facility itself breathes self-care. Relaxing music, shelves of self-help type books (that you may borrow upon request!), a cute little waiting room. The treatment rooms are very clean, warm, and organized. Calming meditation music plays as your body relaxes into the treatment. The service: I have had great experiences with all of the staff members. I've received treatment from Jeremy, Andrei, and Courtney. I find that each of them have a wonderful, soothing energy, similar to what you get from your favorite yoga teacher. I have felt very comfortable and welcomed by each of them. The results: Of course it is hard to pinpoint causation, but I believe my neck has definitely improved in both pain level and also in range of motion since starting acupuncture. If nothing else, I find the treatments very soothing, and something to look forward to in my week. Because my insurance covers all but the co-pay, the price differential between acupuncture and something like a deep-tissue massage is probably 4x, to achieve similar calming sensations. One thing I appreciated during my first consultation is that they make it very clear that acupuncture is not for everyone, and if you don't get the results you are looking for, there is no pressure to continue. I ended up liking it, of course, so this is a moot point for me; however, not feeling obligated to force myself into this treatment was one less thing to worry about. Lastly, as I conclude this novel, and if you've made it this far to see, I love that they are connected to the MindBody app. Booking, cancelling, and shifting around appointments is super easy and fast. Thanks to everyone at Transformational Acupuncture--I look forward to continuing my healing process! read more

I highly recommend this studio for anyone seeking an introduction to acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Having never tried acupuncture, I first visited Transformational Acupuncture after experiencing anxiety and panic due to work-related stress and exhaustion. While I have a fear of needles, the treatment is actually quite relaxing. Since my first treatment in January, my anxiety levels have decreased, a happy improvement that I attribute to acupuncture, herbs prescribed by Jamee and Andrei, and regular exercise. Every practitioner I've been treated by (Jeremy, Andrei, and Jamee) has been kind, understanding, and professional. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

Transformational Acupuncture has really made an incredible difference in my life. I sought treatment when I began to experience a series of ongoing migraines in my pregnancy, that didn't respond to traditional treatments, after seeking help from my primary doctor, OB-Gyn, urgent care, the ER, and even a neurologist. Prior to acupuncture, I was taking some form of pain medication on daily basis or coping with coffee, which I knew couldn't be good for my baby. Nina and Nadia at the front desk are so friendly and professional and the space is very well kept, clean, and tranquil. I've been receiving treatment with Andrei now for about 3 weeks, and the results have been remarkable. Andrei really took the time to listen to all of my needs, ensuring we created a customized plan of action for my physical pain, but my emotional concerns as well. He gave me tools that went beyond in office treatment to assist with the process, such as the use of guided meditation for beginners and resources on acupuncture, all while ensuring my safety and comfort being pregnant. Over the course my treatment, the headaches began to diminish in both frequency and intensity and the migraines completely stopped almost immediately. As of today, 3 weeks into my treatment, I've gone four consecutive days headache free, the first time in two months. I have more energy and have not taken a single pain killer since or missed a day of work since I began treatment. The best part is it's all covered by my insurance! If you're battling with any type of illness, psychical or emotional and find your not responsive to traditional treatments, or are just tired of taking medications to mask the symptoms and pain, I strongly recommend giving acupuncture a try. There's no better place to start than with Transformational Acupuncture. read more

Adam Miramom does not honor any contract he may create with you, verbally or otherwise, but the real reason I wouldn't suggest Uptown Acupuncture is not only the subpart job he does but also how dangerous is how he little care about your treatment. Last time I was there my foot was COVERED in blood due to his negligence in treating me properly. To make matters worse, he refused to give me band-aids ... yes, his practice seems to be the only one in the world that uses needles but does not have band-aids for the use of his patience. Very disappointing. I would strongly advise you to avoid this business. read more

Fantastic practice that has a team of very talented, dedicated practitioners. Transformational Acupuncture provides a caring, "white-glove" approach to its service. I was fortunate enough to work primarily with Jeremy, and he was thoughtful in taking time to understand my issues and then creating a treatment plan to address it. From an experience perspective, I could not have been more pleased, nor could it have been easier. As a patient you're able to schedule your appointments online. Once at the office, you are seen quickly and the entire team is very respectful of your time; however, you NEVER feel rushed. Every moment felt as though I had an entire team dedicated to just me. The entire experience was easy, thoughtful, calming, and meaningful. I highly recommend Transformational Acupuncture for anyone looking for a legit, professional, and high skilled acupuncture practice. read more

I'd been experiencing a ton of symptoms (GI issues, loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea, tingling in fingers radiating up the arm to the face, numbness in face, blurred vision, lower back pain, insomnia, tension in neck and shoulders...I get it, I sound broken for a 29 year old). I ran $20K worth of tests (full physical, allergist, GI, neuro) only to have everything come back negative thus far. I asked my primary care to refer me to an acupuncturist b/c I was desperate to try anything and my docs insisted we went the holistic way 1st. I tried breathing exercises/other stress relieving techniques and peppermint herbs to no avail. They recommended Transformational Acupuncture and I did what any good yelper does, read the reviews! I made my 1st appointment w/ Jeremy in October 2015 and have been going 2x/week since. I'd never had acupuncture before so I did not know what to expect. I wasn't sure it would even do anything but I've been converted. Location - super convenient, a couple blocks away from Dupont Metro (north), right above Hair Cuttery. Waiting area/reception - tons of reading materials/resources available on mindfulness, different techniques to relieve pain, herbs, etc. Always plays soothing music. No cell phones allowed to preserve the ambiance and respect those in treatment. Super surprised that they ALL took the time to learn my name and by my second appointment, knew who I was and greeted me on my arrival and departure. Super friendly bunch!!! Treatment rooms - 2 wings w/4 bays/massage tables each separated by curtains. There is a private room as well, which doubles as Jeremy's office. Depending on comfort level, it may be weird at 1st to "share a room" during treatment b/c you can hear the rustling of people getting on/off the tables but I've had plenty of treatments where I completely fell asleep and woke up feeling like I've had a couple gin and tonics (totally relaxed). Each wing is heated w/mini portable heaters and you can request a heater and blanket in your bay. (I always do b/c part way through, my body is at a resting phase and cold). Low Prices - $75 for the 1st initial consult and treatment and then $55 for each acupuncture treatment thereafter. They take Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield (which provides 24 sessions, and can be upped an additional 10+ on a case by case basis). I have the higher coverage BCBS and each treatment comes out to between $5-$9 and change, no joke. They have additional services which are not covered by insurance like Qi Qong and cupping, which run $75, in addition to the acupuncture charge because they are done together. Method of treatment - They are constantly treating multiple people on a rotating basis, which allows for lower prices. They start with a check-in to see how you're feeling, what areas you want to target, how the last treatment worked/didn't work, etc. Then, you go into a bay for needle placement. While you're left to relax for 30-45 min, the practitioner does a check in and treatment w/ another patient. The appointments run in 15 min increments and if there is no one after you, they give you the option of resting w/ the treatment for an extra 10-15 min. Each session typically lasts a total of 60 min. Styles - Each practitioner has a slightly different style but they share notes on you. Jeremy likes to chat and see what's going on. Andrei and Courtney will check your pulse and tongue. Jeremy's touch is the lightest in terms of needle placement. He also has a ton of essential oils at his disposal and they can be incorporated into your treatment to help you relax more. My favorite have been the sweet orange and peppermint behind the ear. He also chats like a friend rather than a stuffy doctor type. Andrei's strength is in Qi Qong (energy work) on the body. I swear I've gone in feeling like I had a stomach ache and during acupuncture, he places his hand directly on my stomach, it gets super hot, and I feel better. It's a really weird feeling that is indescribable. Based on my GI issues, lack of appetite, and insomnia, he prescribed a couple different Chinese herb concoctions. I'm Chinese and grew up going to the traditional Chinese medicine shops, you know, w/the glass jars of tree bark, snake skin, dried seahorse, that you had to boil and drink. Here, the herbs are pre-ground, completely water soluble and can be taken in a shot glass worth of water. $0.40 per 3 grams, a week's worth was $21. He also does cupping (suction not fire) over a salve to massage the muscles and increase blood flow. It's great every 2 weeks. Final Result - not 100% but significantly better than when I first started. Feeling a bit more relaxed and my symptoms are subsiding. I'll continue coming here, even after my symptoms are completely gone, for stress maintenance and the lovely naps induced by acupuncture which force me to CTFD. I've already recommended this place to my dentist and a gf. read more

I went here when I was desperate to get rid of shoulder/upper back pain. The pain was to the point where I couldn't stop thinking about it, but medically, it seemed like nothing was wrong. I never really believed in alternative healing methods but a friend suggested I go to an acupuncturist. She was an acupuncturist herself (but out of town), and suggested Jeremy based on his website. Jeremy tried a few different techniques on my pain, but ultimately fixed it using a technique called Gua Sha. Basically, he literally scraped away my back pain with an instrument. I could feel the relief immediately. I went back about three times within the next month. Now I go about every six months for one treatment. The difference has been amazing. I can't explain how great it is to not feel back pain for six months to someone who hasn't had it constantly. Jeremy also suggested changes to my workspace to decrease the pressure on that area of my back, as well as explained ways we tense up our back when we are nervous or anxious. Now when I am anxious, I actively think about how my back is and release it. This advice combined with his treatments have left me relatively pain free. It is unbelievable to me because I had put up with this pain for so long. I highly recommend him, and remember, it may take a few methods to figure out which is the best for your specific type of pain. read more

Extreme healing. Profound kindness. An environment that is so comfortable one feels cradled. . . Transformational Acupuncture, a treasure tucked behind Dupont Circle, should be discovered by all. Thank you, Nadia, Office-Guru-and-Visionary, and Jeremy, Healer-and-Listener-Extraordinaire, for uniting your exceptional energies to transform the lives of so many and mine, especially. Every visit with you results in my spirit soaring, my physical-self jubilant with appreciation, and my mind ecstatically awakening to the wisdom of alternative methods. Destined to be leaders in your field, I feel pleased and proud to have basked in your attentions early on. . . Our every interaction I savour and your newsletters I devour as manna as I await the next. Love reading and re-reading your articles, conducting the research they inspire, and following-up with my questions. Like twin-stars that pulse brightly to form the impression of one (Capella of the Auriga Charioteer Formation, particularly visible in the winter night sky), Nadia and Jeremy lead us and their superlative team in an enduring quest for health and serenity. Five out of five stars for this constellation of talents. read more

I've been struggling with chronic illness, fatigue, and lower back pain for years and have needed that extra "umph" to get me feeling better. I've seen Jeremy several times and have already felt much better. I'm looking forward to working with him intensively over the coming weeks/months. I feel like he's a great listener and understands my mental and physical situation and is committed to helping me be more well. I have tried accupuncture before, all with good results. But Jeremy is the first practioner who I've seen who tries to really get to know his clients so he can best treat them. Having a holistic healer is something I've been searching for in Washington for years, and I hope that Jeremy will be that missing piece I've needed in my quest to get back to better health. read more

Transformational Acupuncture is truly a healing sanctuary! After dealing with multiple chiropractors and PTs over the course of 6 months to try and fix a lower back/SI joint chronic issue, I happened upon TA. I thought I would give acupuncture a try after exhausting other forms of treatment because I was still suffer daily from pain. Upon entering the clinic, you are immediately transformed, as the environment itself is calm and peaceful, and the friendly and warm faces are there to greet you. After just one treatment with Andrei, I experienced a profound relief from the pain I'd been suffering for so long. I have continued my acupuncture treatments to reduce my pain and also added in herbal medicine to combat insomnia, stress, etc. I can't express how grateful I am to have found Transformational Acupuncture. read more

I've been coming to Transformational Acupuncture for just over a month now and have experienced excellent results from working with Jamee Pineda. My chronic pain and migraines have gone down and my cycles have been more regular. We are now working on my fertility and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together. The space is very inviting and LGBTQ-friendly! Highly recommend!! read more

My back was killing me for 2 weeks, and I tried a chiropractor and a massage, and nothing was helping...so I figured I would give acupuncture a try. First of all, I made a last minute appointment (the day of) online. It was super easy to make an appointment and find a time that worked for me, without the hassel of calling in and speaking to someone! Anyway, I went in complaining and Jeremy was willing to try different methods to make sure we found the source of the pain and make me feel comfortable in the process. Last week we tried cupping...it worked! I did feel better, but it only lasted for a few days. I went back yesterday, even with the flu, and we tried Gua Sha. Wow was this amazing. Not only does my back feel better, but I don't feel as sick as I did yesterday. I think it actually helped with my flu symptoms too! Between the e-stem, the needles, the cupping and the Gua Sha...I can't believe how great I feel right now! Jeremy is an awesome guy and is willing to try anything to make sure he makes you feel better! I definitely recommend him for Acupuncture! read more

I tried acupuncture a couple of times in the past and never felt it made much difference with my chronic and disabling health conditions. But my insurance (BCBS) covers treatments and I'm reaching the I'm-desperate-and-will-try-anything stage, so figured I'd give it another go. I knew nothing about any of the practitioners on my insurance panel, so tried running the names through Google at random. Came across Jeremy and liked the background story on his website (so many medical professionals don't even HAVE a website, and I'm just more comfortable when I can read up a bit beforehand). So I made an appointment and gave it a shot. I have been going once a week for several months now, so I've gotten a pretty good feel for Jeremy as a practitioner. And I think he's just the greatest! On the acupuncture front, I usually walk in with a headache and out without one, and we're working on building up other health systems over time. It's a process, but I really do believe his treatments are making a measurable difference. But beyond the acupuncture itself, Jeremy is an excellent health coach. At each appointment, we discuss my current health challenges and what I might do to address them, and I appreciate the fact that he's encouraging with ideas but also realistic about my limitations. He always checks my reaction, and never pushes his own ideas onto me. He's a guide and not a drill sargeant. Overall, highly recommended. read more

I have been going to TA for the past month. The service I receive from Joe has been exceptional. I have less pain and more flexibility in my problem areas(knee, feet). The staff is kind, helpful, open and caring. I highly recommend Transformational Acupuncture. read more

Acupuncture is my little piece of heaven each week. It is truly the only time I can relax, and feel safe and healed (other than in my own home) - each visit. You are greeted by a friendly face at the desk - either Nadia or Nina. They always remember your name, and treat you as a neighbor and friend (not just a client). The space is clean, organized and private. This helps me to breathe more easily before and during treatment, and to feel that I can be confident they give me the healing I need. I started going to Transformational Acupuncture just recently and I have received treatment with Jeremy, Courtney and Andrei so far. They are all wonderful, and have their own unique treatment. The thread that binds them: They are knowledgeable, friendly and always calm. I have also had a few conversations with Nadia, and she has also pointed me in the direction of great resources that have helped me. She is extremely warm, and quick to respond (as is Nina)...and did I mention that even before you start, they ask you to complete a form to check with your insurance how much it will pay? This place has all the right ingredients for a 5 and I RARELY give anyone a 5! Thanks Transformational Acupuncture! You truly live up to your name! read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. Everyone I've interacted with there from the front desk to the acupuncturists are pleasant, supportive, and will do everything they can to help you feel better. Would recommend to anyone. read more
