    I'm so glad I found this place and Monica was lovely right from the start! She was able to get me…read morein due a pretty severe flare up of back pain which I desperately needed for pain relief. She is very knowledgeable about her skill as an acupuncturist and was able to clearly explain her process in addition to other styles of acupuncture that I had previously experienced. I'm so grateful for her kind words, gentle touch and skilled service. It really did help and part of the way through I fell asleep which definitely indicates a relaxing experience! Highly recommend if you need pain relief and a kind and patient person to provide the necessary treatment.

Snooze is exactly what I wanted to do after an amazing tu nia acupressure massage and treatment with Monica. Monica was very thorough in her initial assessment and paid special attention to meridians in my back and behind my knees to reduce chronic pain. She was warm, kind and professional. When I mentioned that I could take a little more pressure she responded promptly to my feedback and cranked it up a notch. Monica's studio is very inviting, tucked inside the tranquil environment of Crimson Day Spa, and thoughtfully appointed with a soothing water fountain, warm table, dim lighting, etc. Everything you need to set the tone for relaxation. Her prices are competitive and reasonable. I will definitely return!

    I was diagnosed as having Bell's Palsy this year. I had an appointment with Mariko during my second…read moreweek of having Bell's. Mariko was able to assist my recovery in a speedy way and did small tweaks that helped. Such as when I said my left eye wasn't closing at night to sleep. The next day my eye closed enough that I didn't need to tape it shut! I also have stomach issues that she was able to pinpoint and I felt immediately better. Mariko also gave me herbs to address these issues. I am continuing my treatment here as my Bell's Palsy issues reverse and I'm discovering many other ways she can help my health! I highly recommend her.

    I'm about two years late writing this review, but I couldn't let any more time pass without sharing…read morehow Dr. Mariko Horie changed my life. My husband and I had been trying to have a baby for three years, and after countless disappointments, we had completely given up hope. Since we both work remotely, we made a bold decision--sell everything, leave Santa Barbara, and travel the world. Before we left in April 2023, I visited Dr. Mariko Horie's office, hoping to find some alternative ways to manage the stress and weight gain I was experiencing. I had never tried acupuncture before, but I was desperate for anything that could help regulate my nervous system. From my very first session, I was blown away. I felt like I was floating. When I mentioned my chronic jaw tension, Dr. Horie worked her magic, and for the first time, I experienced a release so profound it was as if years of stress melted away in an instant. But that wasn't even the most incredible part. During my final session, Dr. Horie held my hand, looked me in the eye, and asked, "Are you pregnant?" I laughed and shook my head. "No, impossible. Sorry. The fertility doctors don't have an answer, but we can't have a baby. That's why we've decided to leave and travel." She simply raised an eyebrow, saying nothing--just giving me a look that seemed to say, We'll see about that. A few weeks later, we arrived at our first destination: a tiny, remote island in Washington State, where whales breach right in front of your house and bald eagles perch above you as you sip your morning coffee. It was paradise. And it was there, on that magical little island, that we discovered we had brought along an unexpected hitchhiker from Santa Barbara--I was pregnant. Fast forward, and I'm now the mom of a healthy, happy, incredibly smart baby boy. We didn't stop traveling either--our little guy got his passport at just four months old, and we've been adventuring ever since. I can't wait to return to Santa Barbara and visit Dr. Mariko Horie again. She changed my life in ways I never imagined, and I will be forever grateful.

    I'm lucky that over the years Dr Ara has always had her office near places Ive either lived or…read moreclose to family so I can pop in during a visit. Over the last 12 years I've followed her from pasadena, to SF, and now see her every chance I get when I visit family in Santa Barbara. She knows exactly what to do whether my neck hurts, my hormones are whacky, or I want a little microneedling. Highly recommend

    No Yelp Elite member reviews yet? Hmm, okay, let me take a stab at it…read more I had bought a Groupon for Dawna Ara and it was soon to expire. So I tried calling but I didn't get a response. In the voicemail, she prompted to book via the website. You check the website and the only date that was available was the day after the Groupon's expiration date. Hmm...Plan B. Decides to email her directly and email Groupon just in case I can't use it. Groupon responsed and said they would give me credit in Groupon money if I never used the deal. Dawna also responded and after exchanging a few emails, we had settled on a date. So if you have problem getting through her, I would say email is the way to go. The date arrived and finding this place wasn't too difficult via GPS. However, it's a residential building and does not have any company name posted. Look for the house with the little white fence. I walked in and just saw candles lit and chairs with literature on the table. I also saw an Iphone but I figured that was hers. I was finally greeted by Dawna after what looks like the owner of the building came in and shut the door. Dawna does everything herself. So there's a bit of a wait before, during, and after the session. This was my first time at acupuncture and I actually did feel something working immediately after I finished the treatment. I came in for multiple ailments but she concentrated on the main aspect of my problem. BTW, the treatment was relaxing since I was lying down for 30 minutes but the actual treatment was a little bit shorter than I expected compare to the other reviewers. Also the massage was a bit shorter than I expected. Nevertheless, this place should be tranquil enough after she updates it with some furnishings since it is really bare at the moment. Thus, not bad for the Groupon rate. Note to add, if you ever check out the bathroom, it feels a bit slanted.
