I'm a veteran of bodywork, a regular massage client and dabbler in other therapies. I feel qualified to endorse Priscilla as the best who has worked on me. She understands the physiology of musculature and knows exactly what to do. Her sensitivity to both physical and emotional manifestations of stress provides the perfect combination that will leave you relaxed and energized at the same time! I love her, my daughter loves her, and we will be consistent clients as long as she is here!

I was referred to Yasmin by a friend last year, when I was suffering from a back injury and just…read moregeneral physical stress and exhaustion that likely cause the back injury in the first place. I'm personally skeptical of much herbal or "alternative" medicine but was happy to discover that Yasmin's approach was refreshingly practical and professional. She treated my injury and my body as a whole and her body work and massage are amazing! She focused on helping me recover completely and trying to improve my health overall. I've since come to her to treat a little case of "travelers gut" that I picked up on vacation, which she treated with affordable herbs and practical biology. Yasmin offers good overall health and wellness services and has flexible hours :) I'd visit her more if she had an office in san francisco but she's still often worth the trip to Oakland.

I'm happy I did though, because her treatments have really helped reduce my migraines, headaches, and occasional body misalignment issues. I have gone from almost daily headaches/migraines to sometimes only 1 every other week. AMAZING. The office and rooms are really nice and relaxing. Just remember to give yourself some extra time to park. :)

Disappointed! I'm…read morenot one to leave reviews, but Dr. Nathan Webb did not leave a good impression with me. It was my first visit with him as a new patient at Center for Natural Medicine, and I had to take off work to make the appointment, after waiting for weeks. Due to my busy day at work and traffic issues, I was 7 minutes late to my 1-hour appointment. I brought all the necessary paperwork that had been emailed to me and it was filled out prior to my arrival. I was ready to go when I walked in. Dr. Webb then handed me more paperwork to fill out after I arrived. I'm now repeating the same information onto more forms for the third time, which I've already stated twice before on the previous forms. After filling this paperwork out and handing it to Dr. Webb, we're now 15 minutes into my 1-hour appointment and he tells me he's not going to see me and that I'll have to make another appointment (weeks out) because it's too late. I explained to him there's plenty of time left to get done what we can and that I'm also a busy working professional with responsibilities and obligations, and I did the best I could to get there on time. I provided all the completed paperwork that had been emailed to me. He did not care. He said "Bro, you were late..." I explained to him that, at this point, we still had 45 minutes left. Again, he refused to see me. I explained to Dr. Webb that I was obviously upset, after having waited for weeks and taken the time to fill out all the forms, then take off work, rush to drive 13 miles to his office, and then be denied medical treatment when my time was still scheduled and available. His response was a calm and condescending, "You don't have to come back." After an already busy and difficult day, that was the last thing I was prepared to hear. In the end, it's his business and he can choose to treat people however he wants and deny service if he so chooses; however, I found it unprofessional and lacking empathy for a community he says he seeks to serve. Apparently, Dr. Webb doesn't need the business.

I was resistant as I have already taken so much out of my diet, but Aria assured me it would help. Honestly as someone who is a little fat I felt that she pressured me into it. It wasn't fun, but I did try it. Right away I felt terrible, so I emailed her. She told me this was normal and it would get better. The acupuncture was helping it but when I didn't see her my digestion went back to bad. After this I stopped seeing her as she went on leave. Unfortunately I followed this advice for years, thinking it would "fix me." I have since then learned this was terrible advice, as I have IBS. When I tired to each Paleo, I removed all of the grains from my diet and then added a lot of inflammatory vegetables. This was NOT the correct diet for me. I am now on the Low FOD-MAP diet and am better than I have been in years! Let me be clear acupuncturist ARE NOT DIETITIANS. DO not follow her diet advice. I did email Aria in the past year and ask why she would give me this advice. She did not take responsibility for giving me the wrong advice. I found her response very disappointing. She did not seem to understand how much this advice hurt me. If you have IBS or any digestion issues please see a registered dietitian and your doctor. It took me years of pain to get here.

After about 2 sessions we were able to talk about subjects that used to make my muscles tense, and my brain distract automatically, with a new sense of ease and comfort. Stacie has a warm, and inviting energy, a clean studio, and a very kind heart. She is generous, and intuitive in all of the right ways, and continues study relevant to her practice, and our times. Stacie's needling technique is extremely gentle, and accurate, she likes to incorporate stones, and occasionally oils if you like. I haven't picked up a cigarette in over four months now, the smell even repulses me, wen though I recall enjoying it even as a child. If I could give a ten star review I would, I highly recommend Stacie for acupuncture, Gua Sha, and cupping. The studio is always clean, quiet, and friendly. There is also tea in the waiting room which is an excellent bonus.

Her prices are very fair, her office is clean, comforting, and smells nice, making an appointment is quick and easy, and she even works with a specialized insurance biller to explore your coverage. Stacey is a rare Humboldt gem, and I highly recommend her.
