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 came to Elisa after suffering from severe gut inflammation that had me in the hospital for nearly…read morea week. The doctors I worked with were unable to give me answers, nor were they able to treat my symptoms well. I was simply given pain and nausea medication and sent home. I was unable to eat, barely able to move or walk, and was completely debilitated by a lack of energy, pain, and stress. Elisa's work was nothing short of transformative. Not only did she help me directly address many of the symptoms of my condition (particularly the incredible pain and nausea), but she also helped me target the underlying triggers, especially the stress. I entered her office weak, in pain, and without much hope for my condition. I left without pain, with more energy, and free from an incredible amount of stress that I had built up in recent weeks. The visit was not only cathartic, but it set me on a course to recovery. I was able to eat a real meal for the first time in nearly a week, and my energy levels returned enough to allow me to go for a morning walk and even a run a few days later. My condition continued to improve over the next few days, and things became even better after my second visit. I cannot thank Elisa enough for her incredible work. My visit with her truly marked a turning point in my condition and has been the main catalyst for my healing. Further, Elisa is an incredibly empathetic and intuitive person. She made me feel comfortable, open to achieving my objectives, and hopeful about the work we were doing. Working with her was a pleasure and a fantastic learning experience. I cannot recommend her services enough.

Dr Hye Kim's treatments have greatly helped my overall health, wellness and my mental health too! From my first appointment when I walked out and Dr Kim and my partner both said I was "glowing" and I felt better than o had in weeks! She's definitely my favorite doctor, and trust me I've been seeing a lot of doctors. I always leave her office feeling better and she has helped improve my over all health. Dr Kim is very knowledgeable and patient with me and really worked to find the right herbs for me. My appetite has improved and I sleep much better. Acupuncture has been a gift and I'm so happy to have found Dr Kim at HYE wellness. Over the next 3 months Dr Kim helped heal my body of chronic headaches, greatly lowered my anxiety, helped my sleep patterns and probably one of my favorite things is I don't take medication daily for my IBS anyone!! Acupuncture is awesome!! I went to see Dr Kim mostly for my autoimmune, I didn't know so much healing throughout my entire body would take place. Dr Kim really wants to help you HEAL your body not just fix it for the time being. Her energy is magical and I really look forward to my appointments!

This is going to be a double review, since Dr. Kim has helped treat both me and my mom. She is…read moreabsolutely wonderful! My mom first came here for help with vertigo-- she'd tried all sorts of medications before that weren't working. Not only have her symptoms improved significantly, but the rest of her health, both mental and physical, went through much positive change. She has lost healthy weight, she feels less anxious and much more happy. Meanwhile, I came in because I was having severe anxiety, as well as past issues with severe depression (as well as my mom's recommendation:) ). Dr. Kim's acupuncture and herb treatments have significantly helped me not just with my anxiety, but with all of my mental health, and physical as well. I feel so much more positive, hopeful, and energetic. Dr. Kim is so attentive, and she's very kind and professional with explaining what she sees in your mental & physical health, and how she wants to help improve it with her treatments. It wasn't that I didn't believe in acupuncture before, rather that I didn't know that acupuncture could help younger people like me (24), and how much it can really help! I'm incredibly grateful to be her client. :)

I had an incredibly wonderful pregnancy and I owe most of it to Stacy, her acupuncture treatments and knowledge about supplements and nutrition. She helped treat my heartburn and poor sleep. I stayed healthy throughout my entire pregnancy and never felt like I was dragging. My energy stayed high, my spirits good. I felt great! I didn't suffer from the typical pregnancy woes and I truly believe it was due to Stacy's treatments. At one point, I had to skip a couple weeks of treatments and I really felt a difference. My ankles swelled up, my heartburn came back and I did not sleep well at all. What a miracle! When I went post-dates, I knew I wanted to induce. I went to Stacy and she did some gentle induction points and voila - baby was born the next day! Stacy has been wonderful for my postpartum care. She came to our home for a home-visit a few days after our baby was born. Her treatments helped me so much during that sensitive time. I highly recommend Stacy for women who are pregnant, trying to conceive or have just had a baby. She'll take great care of you!

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.

Dr Kar won SB Independent's "best acupuncturist" in 2015 after being first runner-up for years…read more I am just in town for a year and asked my chiropractor, Dr Neal Barry, for a referral. He sent me to Dr Kar. My family friend at the Cape, related by marriage to the former director of Music Academy of the West, asked her for a referral (not knowing I was already set) and she too recommended Dr Kar. When I walked in, I remembered I'd come in 2000 during a time of such turmoil I didn't even recall having gone in for a session. (I have a Marilu Henner-ish memory, which really speaks to my state of mind at the time.) In college, I struggled with digestive issues. Then I was fine 25 years till menopause and it's been touch and go the past few years. Dr Kar is truly the best. He's incredibly intuitive and comes from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. My doctor in New York is fantastic but after the session, I felt as though I had had 20 mg of Valium. Just remarkable. He prescribed herbs (I'm a skeptic but he kindly waived the new patient consult up charge so I acquiesced). They worked but I need to reduce the dose (3 pills 3x a day was too much). I'm here to write a difficult book and will probably go twice a month, but to start, I'm going two consecutive weeks. Pay cash if you can to avoid the 2.7% credit card fee. Parking is easy on State Street, especially in a pandemic, where for no reason this New Yorker and rational individual can fathom, people are still paranoid. Absurd. Every few weeks I look at the death toll for the county (423,000) and shake my head. For a YEAR, it's what New York had on a semi-good day. And by New York, I mean the city, not the Fingerlakes or God knows what upstate place that city people never go unless they own a house or know someone with a country seat.
