I used to visit Zoe weekly! She's very informative, caring, and definitely listens to your needs. Straight to the point. Definitely if in need of acupuncture needs, visit Zoe. Parking can be tricky. She does have one hour parking right in front, but those spaces can get filled. Plenty of street parking around. read more

Zoë Is an absolutely incredible practitioner and human. I came to her for my first experience with acupuncture and I only wish I had sooner. I am seeing and feeling major improvements with both my physical and mental health after a month of treatments. Zoë Is so kind, intelligent, intuitive and deeply cares about her patients. She is truly magic! read more

I had my first session with Zoe today. It was exceptional. She is a caring, gifted healer. She has been practicing for 20 + years and is a graduate of Traditional Chinese Medicine from the prestigious Five Branches University. The session was amazing and very healing. I plan on several more sessions with her. Check out her web page to see if she is a fit for you. read more

Zoe is fantastic! I found her after wanting to try acupuncture for fertility, and wanting to work with a practitioner who was a bit more experienced / comfortable treating fertility cases. I had been struggling to get pregnant for 3+ years with a very long clinical history when I started working with her. Within about 2-3 months of working with her, I got my first positive pregnancy test! Truly believe acupuncture helped, and I'm so grateful. Zoe takes time to listen to any symptoms you are experiencing, and everything is tailored to where you are at in your cycle. Would definitely recommend to anyone struggling to conceive. read more

I really didn't believe anyone when they told me before that you could fall asleep during acupuncture, but I did under Zoe's care! I really appreciate Zoe's gentle demeanor. She's very down-to-earth and made you feel listened to and cared for before each session. I've gone to a handful of practitioners, and the needles Zoe uses almost felt like nothing to me. I'm not sure if it's the type of needles she used or her way of inserting them, but any hesitation I had about the sensation was incredibly minimized given how easy the set-up was. It's pleasant to hear the nearby train rolling by, and as I mentioned, I often fell asleep. The waiting area includes books, water, and tea. It was easy to schedule each follow-up appointment either online or after a session. I would greatly recommend going to Zoe if you are looking for acupuncture. The first session, which included a consult, was $100, and each subsequent 1-hour session was $70. read more

This door represents so much change & positivity in my life. 10 years ago I stumbled upon this magic door {well what happens behind this magic door}. I was stressed, suffering from horrible sciatica and struggled with infertility. I call this place magic because it really has done amazing things for me, it cured my back-pain when nothing else could, it's brought me peace and relaxation and MOST of all I truly believe it helped me become a mother of two beautiful amazing little boys. To this day when I'm feeling off or need a reset, which is at least once a month if not more I go here. I go here for me, to relax, get centered and to just have a quick talking session before I get poked with needles . Zoe's insight, positivity, relatable conversations inspire me to always see the bigger picture and light at the end of the tunnel. I love this purple door and all of its power! Thank you for helping, healing and always making me feel like a new person when I walk out this door! #healingmybody #acupunturetherapy #zoegriffinacupunture #mindset #balancingmyqi #getthebloodflowing #creativetalks read more

Zoë Griffin Acupuncture - Magic Door - Acupuncture Near Me - Sacramento, California

I saw Zoë twice and it really was a bad experience. I left my second (and last) session and broke down crying. Sure, I was hormonal, but I didn't like the way she spoke to me at all. Ugh. read more

Such an amazing service. very clean, cozy, welcoming space. Zoë is very personable and takes the time to connect with her clients. Parking is a little tough in the area, but other than that, amazing experience! read more

I felt at home as soon as I met Zoe. She is very thorough and has a very welcoming personality. In the consultation meeting, we talked about 30 minutes about my lifestyle and what brought me to accupuncture. She then explains what to expect with the treatment. While I was having my treatment, she talked through everything she was doing and answered my questions along the way. The bed is heated and she puts a heater on my feet during the treatment, which I love because my feet are always so cold. It is a very relaxing experience and I always nap once she has placed all of the needles and leaves me to relax. Her office is in the purple victorian right next to Bows and Arrows, across from Safeway. I love the victorian, it's warm and comfortable and has really cute details. There has been street out front each time I have went, but I'm sure there may be times when I will need to park further ahead on the block. read more

Very gentle placement, very good combo of more Western and Eastern styles of acupuncture. I started seeing her for prenatal acupuncture, she's very knowledgeable, and makes you feel really secure and comfortable. read more

I went for my first appointment with Zoe on 26 September. I am having some female issues and im very stressed and I wanted to use the traditional Chinese medicine approach. As soon as I met Zoe I filled out my forms and we had a chat about my issues. She asked all the appropriate questions, took notes and put me at ease. She took my pressure and checked my pulse and tongue. She then proceeded to insert the needles. The one I actually felt we're the one on my head and my ears but the slight pain went away rather quick. Zoe told me to focus on my breathing and I quickly fell in a super deep sleep. Woke up smiling, stress free and extremely relaxed :) I travel a lot so won't be able to see her as much as I'd like but I will be back in a month. This is my new pampering method. And hopefully my female problems will dissipate. read more

My experience was great, beyond expectations! Zoe is a very kind person and made my first acupuncture experience very memorable. After being let down by traditional medicine I am hoping this will be my cure! I am very hopeful and would highly recommend Zoe and her practice! read more

I used to go to this guy down in South Sac but I felt that it wasn't working, so through Yelp I decided to go to Zoe. And thank God I found her, otherwise my tension headaches and neck pain would still exist today! During my consultation appointment, I spoke with Zoe about what was going on with my neck and shoulders, along with my lifestyle and health history. She was very attentive, and invested a lot of her time into getting to know me. I can tell that she was very compassionate, because she had an understanding of what I went through and gave me advice that could help me spirtually and emotionally. I suffer from mild tendonitis, especially towards my elbow, and early symptoms of carpal tunnel. Zoe used this electric shock stimulator to activate my nerve that radiated down to my hands, and now the tingly feeling is gone! One thing that I would advise you all is that acupuncture takes a lot of TIME. One treatment can help reduce pain, but it will not go away immediately...so it'll probably take you more than one treatment for your symptoms to go away completely. This goes with all health-related issues, but defintely try out Zoe! read more

Zoe is absolutely wonderful! She takes the time to comprehensively ask you about your lifestyle, sleep patterns, food intake, etc. Very compassionate, gently and friendly. I have had acupuncture previously before, but the person never asked questions such as what I eat and how I sleep to get an accurate overall picture. I was very happy to see Zoe do this. Every time I leave here, I feel so relaxed and calm followed by the best night's sleep. Zoe not also does acupuncture, but she is also knows her Chinese herbs/teas, is a licensed herbalist, and can do theraputic massage! The room is very comfortable and warm and I thoroughly enjoy my visits here. I will keep referring friends to Zoe because I really believe she can help with a lot of things. The practice is located right across from Safeway in Midtown, there's usually plenty of parking too whether is it's on the street or across in the parking lot. If you are not sure about your first visit or acupuncture experience as a whole, Zoe can do a free consultation over the phone. read more

This was my first acupuncture experience. I went for lower back pain and was unsure of what to expect. I can tell you that I will be a returning client. Zoe is very professional, friendly and listens well. She gives you the information you need without bombarding you with too much. If you haven't tried acupuncture as an alternative form of medicine I highly recommend it. Just take the time to research it and see if it fits you. The entrance for Zoe's place is on H street. You will find an open door and a set of stairs. Climb the stairs and it's the door on the left. It's a comfortable place and very clean. You will be greeted with water or a variety of hot, herbal teas. She also has showering facilities if you feel the need for one after a massage (I don't think you'd need it after acupuncture). Anyways, if you've always wondered...check it out. You'll be happy you did. read more

I went to Zoe after reading the glowing recommendations on yelp. This was not my first acupuncture experience, but it was the first since I moved to Sacramento. Zoe is great. For my consultation appointment, Zoe was attentive, and asked all the right questions. We also had a great rapport. She knows how to make her clients feel comfortable and understood. She is also very knowledgeable. I loved my acupuncture treatment and felt better and relaxed afterwards. She also gave me some diet and nutrition advice to help with my recovery. I look forward to going back again for help further relieving my symptoms. read more

Zoe was kind enough to accomodate me super last minute with her husband John, also an acupuncturist. What an adorable pair, and their chi must be so perfectly flowing that it takes on the form of two dolphins leaping from the Pacific together. Anyway, I immediately wanted to tell John my whole life story, and he answered all of my questions and concerns, giving me not only sage advice on posture and energy, but also movie recommendations and anecdotes about the perfect balance for the rock n roll n haiku lifestyles we lead. John, this is for you: when blood turns to stone warm hands and radiant hearts return the currents Just what I needed, thanks again. read more

First time using acupuncture. Zoe made me feel very comfortable. Super relaxing & Zoe is super easy to talk to and professional. Highly recommend read more

Zoe is amazing. I was very unsure when I first came in, but she put me at ease right away. She shows genuine care and respect for her clients. I was sold on acupuncture after the second time when I really noticed a difference in the pain I had been experiencing. After a few visits, I wasn't able to go for a while and then I REALLY noticed a difference from not going, so I have now made it a priority. Why it works so well is still a mystery to me, but it truly has made a difference in my life. Acupuncture is amazing and I highly recommend Zoe. read more

I scheduled my initial consultation online (as well as my follow up visits) + had no problem finding a date + time that worked for both parties. I was referred here by a friend, who claimed it helped improve her sleep + other ailments. I'm glad I gave acupuncture a try- I noticeably slept better + deeper, chronic back + hand pain from work had been relieved for 6 weeks. Zoë is very knowledgeable, professional + gentle. I can't even feel the pins going in. The office is very clean, warm + welcoming. read more

After reading Zoe's yelp reviews and her website, I decided to give it a try when I was deep in the midst of postpartum (teary and anxious all of the time). I was 7 weeks postpartum and so tired of the emotional roller coaster and racing energy from the anxiety. One session with Zoe helped with all of that. My sobbing stopped that day, and the racing anxious feelings went away. I was so relieved! I went back the next week for another session, and it was so calming and relaxing. It is wonderful to feel like myself again. Thank you, Zoe! I encourage anyone with similar issues to give her a try. I am so glad I did! read more

This was my first time trying acupuncture. I was having severe anxiety, insomnia, and PMS. I tried going to my primary care physician but conventional medicine was just not working for me. I was tired of having poor health take the joy out of life so I decided to take a chance on alternative medicine. The minute I met Zoe I knew she would be of great help to me. She took the time to listen to all of my problems and worries. She asked a lot of questions and was very understanding and caring. She treated me with acupuncture, Chinese medicine and cranial sacral therapy. Zoe really helped change my life around. My anxiety, insomnia and PMS have improved significantly and I keep feeling better month after month. Zoe not only helps me with alternative medicine but also gives me really good advice every time. She really helps you heal from the inside out. read more

Read great reviews on yelp and scheduled to make an appt, however due to their lack of responsiveness I have lost all faith in this acupuncture practice. I have left 3 voicemails, one through their main line and two through John's number with no response in the last 2 weeks. All I wanted was to speak to someone to discuss in more detail the service they provided, other than what is listed on their website. Pretty disappointed as I was looking forward to trying them out. I will look for someone who actually picks up their phone or responds to my messages. read more

I had my 1st session with Zoe a week ago. I had a difficult time finding the place and accidentally went to another purple home that has the same address number. The resident was livid by my error and I honestly felt lucky to have walked away without being harmed. Call me an idiot but it was an innocent mistake. So be careful folks! My primary issues are osteoarthritis pain in my knees and hip but I also was interested in the aspect of acupuncture that balances the meridians and supposedly helps alleviate stagnation. I did my research and knew that it takes more than a single acupuncture treatment before any relief from pain is achieved so I wasn't expecting a miracle cure. When I finally arrived almost 30 minutes late, shaken and embarrassed, Zoe was waiting for me in the lobby and welcomed me with a big smile. Zoe is very warm and caring. I felt that she was genuinely interested in my well being. Everything is very clean, warm and inviting. Zoe moves with confident professionalism that made it easy for me to totally relax during the treatment. After the treatment, Zoe emailed her recommendations (mostly dietary changes) to improve my overall health & reduce my arthritis pain. I look forward to my next session and I would recommend Zoe to anyone! read more

I've been seeing Zoe for over a year to keep my menopausal symptoms under control, specifically hot flashes and sleepless nights. After my first acupuncture session with Zoe I knew I finally found a healer. She listen to my story and after taking a detailed health history, knew exactly what my body needed. That night I was able to sleep a full night with no periods of wakefulness with greatly diminished hot flashes. The herbal remedies she prescribed greatly enhanced the acupuncture treatment. The hot flashes are all but a thing of the past with an occasional "tune up" needed to keep them in check. Zoe's technique is very gentle and relaxing. Many times I've fallen asleep during her treatments. She's also an amazing massage therapist. I've had a lot of massages over the years and I must say Zoe is absolutely one of the best! I am so grateful for this talented healer...she is an absolute GEM! read more

What a great first experience with acupuncture! Zoe couldn't have put me more at ease with her genuine warmth and peaceful space. I came in for chronic neck pain due to degenerate discs (so I know it won't go away completely), but dang--5 days later and I still feel SO MUCH BETTER. I am sold. read more

I've been seeing Zoe for 5 weeks now and I can't say enough good things about her and acupuncture! I suffer from chronic headaches, shoulder tension and my lower back gives me problems at times. I've also had a lot of change and stress in my life lately. My treatments with Zoe have calmed my mind, relaxed my shoulders and more importantly knocked out 90% of the headaches I've grown accustomed to living with. If you'd like to try something other than traditional medicine or an over the counter headache medication try Zoe! read more

I had my first visit with Zoe on 11/15/12. As soon as I met Zoe, I knew that she was going to be able to help me. She just had that aura about her. I initially went in for female related issues, but after talking with Zoe, I learned that she would be able to help me with other concerns I have been having that my regular doctor could not help. She made me feel very comfortable and put me at ease. She is very knowledgeable and attentive. I will definetly be seeing more of Zoe for her services verses my other doctor. I woke up the next morning feeling very refreshed, relaxed and no migraine! Her office is very clean, calming and peaceful. I already booked a follow up appointment with Zoe for next week. She is truly a gem that I wished I found sooner! I highly recommend her to everybody!!! read more

Heard about how acupuncture can be helpful with different ailments. Thought about doing it. Glad my first experience was with Zoe!!!! I have a specific medical condition that brought me to acupuncture. She was very informed about my condition; had a lot of suggestions and feed. 30 min consultation was very reassuring that I came to the right place. Session also went well. Room was nice and toasty, very relaxing. I scheduled a 2nd appointment before I left. Can't wait! read more

Zoe is absolutely fabulous. Her office is always clean and the aromatherapy is so soothing. She is the absolute professional and has treated me for a variety of problems including back pain, digestive problems, and allergies. I haven't seen her husband John yet, but look forward to that as well as I know her level of care and professionalism. She is very thorough in her questioning and the needles go in and out so easily, you can hardly feel them. You cannot go wrong with Zoe. It is a testimony to the quality of her service that she books up fast, so don't wait to book your appointment. read more

I was first drawn to Zoe based on the positive Yelp feedback. Having read her sight her credentials impressed me. I made an appointment with Zoe for smoking cessation, as well as several other ailments. Right away I felt good being in her presence. She is warm, friendly and personable. She took a good medical history and asked very in depth questions (this impressed me as my medical doctor isn't this thorough). Her offices are spacious, clean and warm. I only felt two needles go in that felt uncomfortable. There is absolutely no pain with this. The treatment was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep. I noticed immediately that the stress/pain I carry in my back was gone. I was hooked! This would have been a five star rating except: Unfortunately, Zoe told me that for smoking cessation I should come once a week but her next available appointment was three weeks out. (And It took me two weeks to get in for the first appointment). I wish this was explained to me when I made my first appointment (so that I could have booked weekly appointments). This was the biggest disappointment. For someone who is finally ready to give up smoking with the help of acupuncture having to wait weeks for appointments is a pain. I went home and read up further on smoking cessation with acupuncture and read that needles need to be inserted into the ear lobe (none of mine were). I felt like this first session was an expensive introduction; albeit a relaxing one. The only other downfall was, this was my first time trying acupuncture and I would have like more of the process explained to me. Lastly, it being Midtown, parking was an issue. I ended up finding another acupuncturist in Folsom (closer to where I live, cheaper) who got me in the same day I called and am seeing twice a week. I would definetly go back to Zoe in the future though! read more

I love Zoe! I have had quite a lot of accupuncture treatments over the years, so not new to it. Had an accident that required surgery, wanted to get accupuncture tx afterwards to help with pain and minimize pain drug intake. I was referred to Zoe and made an appointment. She is not only very serene and puts you right at ease right away, but she has a very healthy glow about her, something you want in a healer! She is extremely talented and knowledgeable. She gave me my treatment, and some nutritional advice which I appreciated very much. I was thrilled that I only needed to take pain medication for a few days after the surgery - I was given enough for a month! I had one follow up visit with Zoe, to hopefully speed up recovery. My orthopedic doctor was visibly surprised at how well my bone healed, and how quickly it healed, too. I am very happy with this service and highly recommend Zoe, particularly if you have surgery and want to take as little pain med as possible. read more

When I started treatment with Zoe, I had just recently left my job on medical leave and was in a very dark and hopeless place. I had been sick for years before that and had never found proper treatment for myself and had taken a rapid decline in health. This was 4 months ago. Today, I am about to start back at my job in less than a week and I am feeling better than I have since I was 16 (I am 25 now)! I have honestly never met such an accommodating and warm hearted healer as Zoe and largely attribute my good health to her wonderful treatments. I have been suffering from pcos symptoms since my teens and had never found the proper treatment since I am non insulin resistant/lean and don't necessarily fit the mold for pcos. I also had developed a digestive disorder that was compromising my health greatly. Zoe was the first acupuncturist who really looked at all my symptoms and I think she really understood where my problems were originating. I have gone to many naturopaths and acupuncturists over the last few years and she is by far my favorite. Each session with her is so relaxing and she has this amazing way of helping talk through what emotional/mental issues may be preventing true health in the body. I am normally a very anxious person, and now I have this great sense of peace since getting treatments. I no longer display pcos symptoms and am feeling happier than I have since high school! I am so very thankful I found zoe and was able to heal through her. I am sad to discontinue treatments since I'll be moving soon, but will definitely always come back to her when I'm in the area! read more

I would give Zoe 6 stars if I could. She is warm, calming, and very good at what she does. I have a few different issues going on thanks to perimenopause and she's been a pro at handling them with accuracy and compassion. I was very apprehensive about finding a new acupuncturist when I moved to Sac and I could not be more pleased. read more

Zoe's great and took a lot of time getting to know me and my reasons for being there. She makes you incredibly comfortable long before you get on the table. A great experience. Highly recommended. read more

Zoe has been treating my mom and I accompany her to her acupuncture appointments. Zoe is super professional and friendly. She has a genuine concern and commitment to help. I highly recommend her. read more

I met Zoe after doing lots of research for ways to improve my fertility. I had never had regular periods and most months would go without a period. When my husband and I stopped using birth control, we thought we would just wait to see if we got pregnant. Turns out, it was not going to be so easy. So I tried to improve my diet, fitness routine etc. When that didn't work, I was referred to Reproductive Health at Kaiser. My husband and I met with the doctor there and decided to start me on Chlomid/Femara. So we would first use medicine to induce a period, and then track ovulation and take medicine again once I ovulated. We did this for a couple of months until I looked into acupuncture and read lots of reviews about the benefits and the great experiences other women had. I thought I might have to go as far as the bay area for appointments until I came across Zoe's website. Zoe is located right here in Sacramento!! I made an appointment with her and when I met her, she had just returned from maternity leave herself. I immediately could tell she had lots of experience helping other women who face fertility issues. She knew exactly what I had gone through and she asked lots of questions about my health history in order to get to know my body better. I was still on the Chlomid/Femara routine, but something else tells me that it was my first session with Zoe immediately after ovulation that helped get me pregnant! YES! I got pregnant, the same month I had seen Zoe. I saw her twice before I had a positive pregnancy test at home. After that, I went to her every 1-2 weeks throughout my first trimester. Every session was even better than going and getting a massage. I would fall asleep right there on the table and would wake up feeling AMAZING! I am 25 weeks pregnant today! I truly believe that Zoe's acupuncture techniques deserve credit. I know there are a lot of women out there that learn it's not so easy to get pregnant and I hope they keep looking for alternative ways to try to get there. I didn't give up! Thank you, Zoe! Thank you so much read more
