Working in aviation, my schedule and stress levels can be intense, but biweekly visits with Jackie have noticeably lowered my cortisol levels and improved my mental clarity. Her intuitive, educational, and responsive care has helped me stay present and decisive in a high-pressure leadership role. No overthinking--just a mindful reset every time. I trust her completely and highly recommend her work to anyone seeking balance, strength, and real results.

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. :)

Hye Kim was able to treat her and my mom is no longer on those pain killers and is also getting healthier. She's helping me get my body in balance after back injury and other health issues. She treats all around holistic care. So nice, knowledgable and understanding. I am definitely recommending her to my friends.

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.

I started seeing Jennifer about one month after suffering a severe herniated disc in my lumbar…read morespine. I forwent surgical options because I was hopeful my body could repair itself. Sure enough, with the help of Jennifer, it did. After a few weeks of steady treatment, my health improved by leaps and bounds. I've gone from crawling to the bathroom and taking short, painful showers to living my full life again. Now, with my back feeling better, I continue my visits for preventative maintenance. I have a traumatic history with needles (nausea, fainting), so Jennifer slowly worked up from conservative treatments to more aggressive treatments. Within the first few minutes of my first visit, this fear became a non-issue. The needles (more like filaments) are painless, and more often than not I would fall asleep shortly into the session. Jennifer's east-meets-west approach to acupuncture is a welcomed perspective in 2017. Her office is clean and peaceful. Her attitude is always positive and upbeat. She has never failed to treat me with patience and respect. Jennifer never fails to deliver the most relaxing two hours of my work week, and I look forward to working with her for years to come.

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.
