Love this place. I see Kiera Laine and she is an amazing acupuncturist. She is my saving grace! I went in for severe coughing, allergy, asthma and bad acid reflux. One visit and I went From feeling no energy and miserable to having my energy back and feeling pretty good. I am now free From allergy and asthma. My acid reflux is not as severe as it was. It does not keep me up at night and miserable during the day anymore. It has been 3'weeks and I am going back next week for a tune up. I am happy I can clean house, garden, and go shopping. It's been months since I was Able to do those simple things! read more

I began acupuncture treatment with Zen in early 2025 after suffering from lower back pain for a year and am very impressed with the results I experienced. My pain was due to idiopathic scoliosis in my lumbar region that developed late in life. Although there is no cure for this condition, through acupuncture with Zen and targeted exercise, I am pain-free most of the time. I was impressed by the extensive health history interview that Zen does prior to the start of treatment and by the personalized treatment plan she developed for me. Initially, I saw her twice each week, then once each week, then once each month, and then every other month. I recently discontinued treatment because my pain now is so minimal and infrequent that I had trouble justifying the expense. As a bonus, the process is very relaxing, almost akin to a spa treatment. Also, she addressed other ancillary issues that were bothering me such as allergies. If I ever develop another pressing health problem, I will return to Zen. Acupuncture is a wonderful complement to other medical treatments. read more

Experience is extremely pleasant. I always look forward to coming into the Healing With Zen for my treatments. And I believe that my acupuncture treatments are addressing my concerns. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

My experience at Healing with Zen was life changing. With Zen's expertise I quickly conceived my baby boy. It felt surreal! I am talking a short few weeks, about 2-3! Her knowledge, work ethic and patient care is top tier. With every session Zen was there for me in the most dedicated ways, going above and beyond to help me achieve my goals. From the moment I called to book my appointment at her clinic to the very moment I walked in, I was shown excellent care and compassion. With her incredible skills ,she did for me what I know many can't achieve so easily. I was also amazed with her knowledge in herbs. Alongside my acupuncture sessions I was taking herbs tailored to my needs specifically. The incredible combo of her acupuncture sessions and herbs transformed my life. I am now holding my beautiful baby boy as I write this review. I urge all women who are looking to conceive but feeling stressed, anxious,depressed or unable to, to seek Zen' s expertise. I have already recommended Zen to several family and friends, and will always continue to do so. Her skills and care are simply magical. I could never thank Zen enough for everything she has helped achieve. read more

Amazing treatment :) Didn't believe in it until my 1 session . I have a serious back injury and this treatment helps with taking away pressure from my lower back . Thank you to healing with zen for being so kind and helpful :) read more

Keira Layne is amazing! With just one session, she significantly helped my neck pain, and I have found the subsequent sessions to be very calming and relaxing. I highly recommend Keira and Healing with Zen! read more

Healing with zen is PHENOMENAL!! I have worked with Janice and Zen and they are both absolutely wonderful. I have come into their office in searing pain and come out at the end of the session with zero pain! They work healing magic here. The receptionist is also the sweetest person ever :) read more

My wife loves Healing with Zen, after every session she feels much better. We will definitely recommend Healing with Zen to our friends and family. read more

Absolutely LOVE working with Zen. She is so thorough, and this is such a well-run practice. She gives you clear guidelines, a treatment plan, and gives you a sense of what to expect -- as well as advice on many things, like how to eat for your body's needs, as well as the option of doing things like ear seeds, cupping, custom herbal remedies et al. She explains everything to you thoroughly, and it's easy to ask questions. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of her care. There are so many little details that anticipate your every need (like, Zen places a little buzzer near your hand before she leaves the room, so that if you need help for any reason, you don't have to move to ask for assistance) I will also say: every other part of the experience is so easy too -- parking, location (right off the 210 Marengo exit) payment options, having your treatment on a table vs. massage chair (both are available), lovely, quiet rooms with ambient music -- and Karina at the front desk is so lovely and helpful! If you want to try acupuncture, and especially if this is your first time, this is absolutely the place to start. read more

I love Healing with Zen! I was new to acupuncture when I began last year for tinnitus. Krystal and the rest of the staff had made it so easy to get adjusted, and the obvious improvements in my symptoms have truly increased my quality of life. I appreciate that they invest in the community in many holistic ways. Highly recommend HWZ! read more

Approximately 4 years ago, I went to Healing with Zen, and right after my first acupuncture treatment with Zen, I felt relief from several of the health concerns I had at the time. At first, I received acupuncture treatments twice/week, and felt much better after each each treatment, and as time went by and many of my concerns were either improved and/or resolved, my treatments went down to once every two weeks, then three weeks and now only once/per month to treat any concerns I might have. Zen is extremely patient,caring and knowledgeable in treating my health concerns. She goes out of her way to answer all my questions, and to make recommendations to help my health in general. Her staff are also very polite and helpful After receiving acupuncture treatment all these years, and feeling so much better, I recommend Zen and her staff to everyone who wants to feel better not only physicall[y, but emotionally. I'm very thankful to Zen and plan on continuing to receive acupuncture treatments at Healing with Zen. read more

I started going to get acupuncture for my jaw pain because I wanted an alternative to Botox but it's been incredibly helpful for range of motion (shoulder), pain, and my digestive issues! Everyone here is incredibly helpful, patient and honest/clear. I also get herbs from them which I've been taking for the past three months. Would recommend, so happy to have found them read more

I have been seeing Krystal at Healing with Zen for a couple of months now, and she has really helped improve my symptoms: Fatigue - I'm not napping nearly as much as I used to and feel refreshed throughout the day, even when under stress. Back pain - Acupuncture combined with cupping really relieves my upper back pain and I've noticed improved posture. Jaw tightness - Feel some relief from this with treatments. Bloating - have only had one treatment that addressed this issue but absolutely saw some improvement. Krystal really listens to me and addresses my issues with kindness and a sense of humanity and humor. Am happy I can continue seeing her on my wellness journey. read more

This is working! After four treatments I am sleeping better, my mood is more stable, it's easier to stretch and relax, and digestion has improved. I have even noticed stress reduced in terms of feeling less reactive when big deals happen that would have irritated me so much more before. Zen was super thorough when she first met me and spent almost an hour asking detailed questions about my history and health. She is addressing all of the concerns systematically and measurably. I am bringing my husband on asap. read more

First time and very happy the staff is very nice. I was really impressed about the service and I felt relieved after the experience. From Anibal B. read more

Thank you Dr. Zen for providing such a wonderful first time experience!! I was soo very nervous since I dont like needles, but so happy I've came to you for healing. I had a lot of upper/lower back pain and my right wrist was hurting from all the text communication I do for work. After my first treatment, I woke up this am feeling very refreshed, no heaviness in my body or soul that I had felt for months! My body feels amazing, less pain in my upper/lower back and wrist too. I can't wait to come back for more sessions and continue my treatment for fertility planning too!! You'll most definitely have all of my colleagues and friends coming to you for support and healing. You're the BEST and again thank you so much Dr. Zen!! read more

Healing with Zen - Welcoming from office space - Acupuncture Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been experiencing pain throughout my body and taking tons of medications, it wasn't helping. I decided to give Eastern Medicine a try again to see if it could help relieve the pain. I had previously had acupuncture and acupressure to relieve back pain. I found Healing with Zen and saw the positive reviews and went through the assessment. The first 2 weeks I had 2 treatments a week and was given a herbal supplement to drink 3 times a day. Following that, 1 treatment for 8 more weeks. I have 3 more treatments left, but after the first 4 treatments, my pain had subsided. I saw Sun, she's great. Thank you so much for helping me! read more

Amazing staff with a comfortable environment. Great knowledge from everyone and exceptional service. I always end up leaving better than I arrived and I can't recommend Krystal enough! read more

My experience with Zen has been wonderful, she is thoughtful and provides excellent care! I have felt like a valued customer through her attention to detail, insightful questions and taking the time to educate me. I would recommend it her anyone! I have done acupuncture with other providers and have never had this level of care and service. Thank you! read more

A tale of tmj woe and relief! About two years ago I had a traumatic event cause my jaw to start locking, over the first few weeks it would start to get sore after eating a lot or talking for a long time. Then I started to wake up with it hurting, then it would hurt all day. At its worse I couldn't open my mouth wider than an inch and it was excruciating. I could barely eat or talk. Yawning would cause my jaw to pop loudly. I started to and do still talk crooked from my jaw pulling to one side. My first stop was my dentist to ask if my fillings were causing my jaw not to set right or to see what they recommended. He said it would go away on its own. 3 months later I went back to the dentist still feeling the pain- they recommended an expensive mouth guard to stop me from clenching my teeth at night. I bought it- tried it for a month- but found it was making things worse. Next stop was a tmj "specialist" here in Glendale. He recommended braces for 2 years, to pull my upper teeth lower and my lower teeth higher- and then his own invention (not fda approved or ANYONE approved for that matter) that was a lower and upper mouth guard that I would wear for another 2-6 years. He didn't take xrays, he didn't feel my jaw. He just walked in with the hard sell . $10k total for this treatment. Soooo with a recommendation I started seeing a personal trainer for physical therapy- 10 weeks later I learned some nice stretches and felt a little better but had no relief. The physical therapist told me to do 10 weeks of Rolfing and 10 weeks of acupuncture and that would cure me. I was wary of acupuncture so I chose to just try Rolfing. Rolfing went great, it's essentially a hardcore massage that resets all of your muscles. It worked great- I got 50% improvement from my first few visits but then it dropped off. So I sat here, over my most stressful holiday season with my jaw getting tighter and tighter from stress until I couldn't take it anymore. My therapist recommended an acupuncturist and I made an appointment. The first visit I felt no different. After the second visit my pain was gone for a day and a half! After my third visit my pain was gone for 3 whole days, and after my fourth visit my jaw was healed. Last week I was able to eat an apple on the core for the first time in 2 years because I could finally open my jaw wide enough. I'm still continuing my 10 weeks of acupuncture for maximum benefit and am just blown away by how well it worked for me. I can not recommend it enough! Surprisingly and unfortunately acupuncture was also the cheapest option I tried . If you made it all the way down here thanks for reading Zen has a gift and is an angel! Go see her! read more

My husband and I have been going to Zen for almost 4 years on a regular basis at the Disney Cancer center in Burbank, Calif. Her private office and staff is located in Pasadena. There aren't enough words to truly express how professional, kind, caring and wonderful Zen is to all of her patients. Zen listens and addresses all of our concerns and strives to alleviate whatever pain or issues we might have. Acupuncture has helped me with my fibromyalgia and myofacial pain. It has helped me to not be dependent on pain meds. Additionally Zen has treated me for severe lower back pain. When it came time for me to have a multi-level lumbar fusion surgery, I was able to recover and heal sooner than expected with acupuncture. The surgeon was amazed with my progress. My husband was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis and with the care of his Neurologist and specific meds, along with acupuncture, he has regained his stamina and energy and reduced the meds. Zen has also guided us nutritionally with fantastic whole food vitamins and depending on your needs, she can also formulate something specifically for you. Healing with Zen is a whole body healing experience. Stress relief, better stamina and energy and pain relief are just some of the added benefits of acupuncture. Zen is truly "THE BEST"!! read more

I gave birth to my twin girls earlier this year and shortly after birth, I was experiencing joint pains and discomfort in my lower back. I came to Healing with Zen for help and boy did she come through for me! I went in weekly for treatment and after each visit, I can feel my body slowly return back to my old self. Lower back pain became less and less and my elbow and wrist pains were practically gone. (I was finally able to open a jar lid!) Not to mention, during my pregnancy, zen prescribed me a lust of holistic prenatal supplements that I truly believed helped save my life when I experienced complications during birth. No doubt she is my go-to whenever I experience any body pains and dietary issues. 5-star all the way!!! read more

Once you have a treatment here, you will feel like you are literally walking on a cloud! The acupuncture treatments align your body, take away pain, and release stagnant energy. You will be able to focus more clearly and have less anxiety. They are phenomenal!! read more

Healing with Zen - Christine G. Padua - Acupuncture Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been seeing Georgios for about 2 months now for a case of mild onset bells palsy. My acupuncture treatments with him have made a huge difference with speeding up my healing process. He's very knowledgeable when it comes to Chinese medicine and the body, attentive, caring and has a wonderful, positive energy about him. I'm so grateful for Georgios! *Side note: Zen is absolutely amazing as well! And lets not forget the incredible office staff, Diana and Rosa make you feel welcome and have all the good vibes! read more

When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 my life literally changed overnight and it changed again when I started seeing Zen on October 4th of 2018. I've been seeing her every week since and I can honestly say that getting referred to her was one of the best referrals I have ever got. Besides being very professional and very knowledgeable, the way Zen present herself and shows that she actually cares is a great feeling by itself. I feel that since I've been seeing her, I can say she and her magic needles are truly amazing. I feel that it is very important to stay strong dealing with whatever you are dealing with, but most importantly I think you need to stay even stronger mentally and I give Zen a lot of credit for that because she keeps my mind clear and my body relaxed and my chemotherapy side effects at bay. I work in construction and dealt with lower back pain for years and it's now 100% better. Had shoulder/arm pain 100% better. I remember when I first started my treatments with Zen, I didn't really say much on how I felt because I didn't think it was going to work, but I stuck with it for the numbness in my toes and the ringing in my ears. Zen looked at my tongue and asked if I had any loss of energy and if I felt bloated, I couldn't believe it because she just told me exactly what I was feeling, so instantly I was blown away by that and I've been a believer ever since. Everyone is different, but I trust her 100% and her magic needles. Since dealing with my medical condition, for whatever reason, out of the blue, more than once people have become part of my life that are so helpful, caring and supportive and Zen is definitely one of them, I highly recommend Zen as I have many times. read more

I'm so impressed with the staff and care from Healing with Zen. At the beginning of the year I came to Zen after a dry fast had caused my 4-year infected front tooth to rapidly lose structure in a matter of days. I had spent 4 years trying to save this tooth from a root canal with the hopes of regenerating it or at least buying me time until more advanced endodontics came out (which they did in 2022 but I was not a candidate to receive vital pulp therapy since the tooth had died...) I was desperately working to revive the tooth, but my endodontist calmly told me that it was chronically infected now, and I'd be better off to do a root canal...), with occasional success here and there to bring some life back to the tooth, despite my less than lackluster oral hygiene, before I found out that cleanse and detoxes alone were not going to regenerate my teeth if I didn't keep them squeaky clean all day. Long story. In any case! I had spent 4 years invested in my cause, and I wasn't ready to thrown the towel in on #9 yet. I learned about Zen from my acupuncturist in Laguna Woods a few years ago, but had been putting off acupuncture due to financial reasons. I came to Zen very mentally unwell with 3 of my front teeth severely decayed, #9 dead, and the others #10 and #11 on the cusp of dying and at least needing vital pulp therapy, potentially root canals. Zen listened to my case and my goals, and supported me from the beginning with so much empathy and support, despite that my goal to revive a dead tooth was probably unheard of. My sinuses and symptoms from the abscessed tooth were flairing up at this point, and after 1 treatment from Zen in January I had an immediate improvement in my sinuses. They flushed and the symptoms from my abscessed already was feeling a little better. The goal for me was to boost the immune system from the inside and to keep the tooth super clean. Along with the acupuncture treatments I was employing a very strict herbal protocol to help rid my body of bacteria and boost my lymph. These worked steadily to help keep inflammation at bay, but I could tell that's Zen's acupuncture gave my symptoms relief right away. Fixing the infection would take time however. When I did go back to get an updated CT scan and xrays, the endodontist and other dentists did feel that the infection was getting smaller from the inside but were skeptical that I could reverse the infection entirely once it's past the acute stage. I didn't want to give up, and with Zen's help and encouragement, I felt supported, even if I was aware of the odds. Zen always listened to me and had genuine interest in my journey and everything that's going on. But the time March came around I was slowly making progress improving the infection, but had not yet been able to rid it completely and rather than risk losing more of the tooth structure, I ended up opting for a partial root canal treatment called a revascularization, where the necrotic pulp is removed, and we use PRF to help stimulate blood, lymph and dentin to regrow (but not the nerve), if there is healthy bleeding a month after the pulpectomy. Even though the tooth had been infected for 4 years and I had to remove my wisdom teeth in between procedures, alas! Healthy blood flow was there, and we were able to successfully attempt the revascularization procedure. The infected area of the bone seems to be healing slowly and I didn't need to take any antibiotics. Also #11 healed enough that it didn't even need vital pulp therapy once it was worked on, just a filling. #10 did need vital pulp therapy (direct pulp cap), but it was only a very small part of the root that was exposed, and it had no bleeding or sign of inflammation so it wasn't necessary to remove any of the pulp. According to Dr Riman's experience, she finds Vital Pulp therapy is successful about 70% of the time in adults. I really cannot thank Zen enough for all her help and support and listening to me rambling on and on about teeth lol. Aside from being an amazing acupuncturist, she's also just an incredibly kind and grounded person, who always encouraged me and validated my feelings even when I felt like I had no right to be as upset as I was. I took a break from acupuncture for about a month again once my teeth had stabilized for financial reasons, and lately my sinuses and knee pain flaired up again after relaxing my dietary restrictions. I went back to Zen, and lo and behold, my sinuses drained a little right away minutes after treatment. Feels so relieving to breathe freely. I was having a lot of anxiety again, and I always feel so much better emotionally and mentally after treatment. As someone who really looks up to healers, she truly inspires me. I always look forward to seeing her. Zen is a true healer and a master at her craft and I am just so grateful to have the privilege to be her client. Thank you, Zen, for being such a caring person! 11.11/10 highly recommend~ read more

I met Vanessa and Zen at a Lather event to introduce alternative Eastern medicine for facial care. I signed up for an assessment and initial acupuncture treatment to address a lifelong issue of frequent migraines and sleeping issues related to my age. I have now undergone approx. 12 treatments and have been relatively migraine-free for the first time in my life. In addition, I have been receiving the facial acupuncture treatments which have evened out my skin tone, provided a "lift" to a drooping eyelid, and seem to have generated more collagen and elasticity to my skin. I love Vanessa and her demeanor. She is genuinely interested in your state of health and helping to alleviate any symptoms. I've also been astounded at the state of relaxation I fall into during the treatment. I recommend Healing with Zen and Vanessa Ho to anyone interested in trying this option. read more

Calm, patient-centered treatments by caring, highly skilled staff. Giorgios helped me with sleep disorders and skin challenges during the hot summer months. Front office staff very organized, with focus on helping me as an individual. Would highly recommend and plan to return for treatments, as needed. read more

This review is so overdue! I've been working with Zen for almost 4 months and she is absolutely wonderful. I came to her having recently been diagnosed with PCOS and missing my menstrual cycle, as well as suffering from digestive issues, allergies, and intermittent back/shoulder/neck pain. Since working with her, my digestive issues have greatly improved, I no longer have allergy symptoms (even around dogs, which used to always cause me issues), I haven't had any significant pain, and my cycle is starting to regulate! First, the front desk staff Jenny and Dina are both so sweet and friendly. They give you all the info you need to get started and make it so easy to schedule and pay. And Zen herself is SO kind, personable, and knowledgeable - you can tell that she genuinely wants to help you feel better. She makes you feel comfortable at each visit, especially if it's your first experience with acupuncture (which it was for me). She can also provide lifestyle recommendations/natural supplements/Chinese herbs that can help you improve your symptoms as well. I'm so glad I started working with her - but as other reviewers have mentioned, the key is to be consistent with your treatments! I did notice positive changes after the first treatment, but it did take some time to for the benefits to be more stable. Anyway, you won't regret coming to Healing with Zen! read more

I went three times to this place and was underwhelmed. The first time was a consultation, where someone just read through a form asking me the questions. It was not personalized and there was no curiosity to explore my symptoms outside of the formatted questionnaire. And that cost me $180! But I don't give up easy, so I went to a couple sessions more with people that seemed to have just gotten out of school. I have had plenty of acupuncture treatments before at other places and this was by far the least helpful and the treatments felt rote. I had originally wanted to meet with Zen, but she was booked on a consistent basis. In general, look for acupuncturists that have been either traditionally trained in Asian countries or that have a strong family lineage that goes back for generations with very sophisticated knowledge and the ability to think outside the box. read more

This has been a wonderful, friendly and healing place for acupuncture. I began going as part of my IVF journey and it has made a world of difference with my anxiety and stress levels. They have continually adapted my treatment to meet my changing needs under IVF and been wonderfully supportive along the way. Highly recommend. read more

I really enjoyed my sessions here with Vanessa. I had extreme itchiness all over my body and wanted to resolve it as soon as possible. It was my first time having an acupuncture session so I was a bit nervous but Vanessa and Josie gave me more information to make me feel comfortable. The Chinese medicine and the sessions I had with Vanessa really reduced my rashes and improved other areas of my health such as stress-levels. I was surprised that I saw a dramatic decrease of my symptoms within 2 weeks of the initial session. The office is quite small but very clean and cozy. They play relaxing, meditation music during the session. read more

I've been doing acupuncture with Vanessa for the last few months, and it has been a total game changer. When I started, I had a persistent skin rash and shoulder pain. It was an incredibly busy and stressful time in my life, and within the first month, the skin rash had greatly improved, my shoulder pain had lessened, and I also was able to get through the stressful time with more ease knowing that I had my weekly acupuncture appointment to look forward to. Vanessa takes so much time and care, always making sure that she's hearing the whole picture. I always look forward to it and highly recommend! read more

This is a great practice. I have a number of health issues that cause nagging discomfort, and acupuncture has served as a reliable way to provide relief. I am happy to have found Vanessa and Healing with Zen. I always leave feeling better. For scheduling, Josie is friendly and responsive. read more

Zen brought me back from the dead. That's the best way I can describe what my acupuncture treatment has done for me. In all honesty, I sought out Healing with Zen as a last resort after countless frustrations with my Western medical practitioners and no signs of my health improving. I was skeptical about how much acupuncture could really do for me, but I am incredibly happy that I chose to go through with it because it has been the only thing that has brought me relief. I had been battling with a flare up for several months that left me non-functional-- all work and social plans came to a crashing halt. I was suffering from intense migraines about five days a week, vertigo/dizziness, nausea, crippling widespread pain, anxiety, depression, and extreme fatigue-- just to name a few. Fast forward to today, after many weeks of treatment, and I have my life back again. My migraines alone have gone down to one a month and I believe even that one will eventually be reduced to zero. My other symptoms have either completely vanished or have been significantly reduced. All of this achieved without the use of harsh medications that come with a long list of side effects. Mind blowing. Everyone at Healing with Zen is professional, warm, and highly knowledgeable. I mainly had treatments with Zen and she was on top of all of my symptoms, always very attentive and determined to help me get better without ever feeling the slightest bit patronized by her (I have experienced this quite often with many doctors). I trust Zen with my health more than any doctor I have ever had before and have recommended her to everyone around me. I love that the treatments are so highly individualized and really cater to each patient's specific needs. The treatments I had with Vanessa were also absolutely amazing-- she is also a very caring and effective practitioner. Additionally, Kathleen at reception is such a welcoming (not to mention fashionable) presence. read more

I started seeing Zen in August 2015 to assist with some fertility issues. I thought of myself as a relatively healthy person - or at least I didn't complain much. I have come to realize that many of the ailments I accepted as a part of my "modern lifestyle" were not things I actually had to live with - they could be fixed! In addition to fertility problems/hormonal imbalances, I had the following symptoms: insomnia, occasional bloating or upset stomach, swelling, poor circulation, neck and back pain, mild headaches, and anxiety. After about 6 months, I'd say my overall health has improved at least 75%.This was my first experience outside of Western medicine and I am so amazed. I sleep soundly most nights, rarely struggle with bloating of any kind, my neck and back pain is managed to a degree that my trips to the chiropractor are few and far between, I feel a greater sense of calm and - most importantly to me - my hormones are finally getting under control. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zen. She is attentive and detailed without EVER being pushy or overbearing. She is completely upfront about any charges well in advance so you never feel like she is "pulling a fast one on you." She listens so well, remembers every conversation and takes copious notes, and really feels invested in my health and well being. She is sweet and kind and so good at her job. I've gone for weekly sessions and have been taking her custom herb blend and I feel like I'm really making progress in so many ways. I can't recommend her strongly enough. UPDATE: 4/19/17 I am now 39 weeks pregnant! Zen and her associate, Katherine, are truly incredible and I can't say enough about their thoughtful care and personal investment in my health. My husband ended up trying acupuncture out for a couple of months with them and there is no doubt in my mind that it was the missing piece that finally allowed us to get pregnant after years of trying. Zen and Katherine cared for me weekly through my first trimester and have been helpful in keeping me "tuned up" as the second and third trimesters have been underway. I've had a very enjoyable pregnancy and I know it's due to them. If you've tried doctors and specialists for any sort of chronic issue (digestive, sleep, hormonal - anything!) and have only been met with more prescriptions or blank stares, I urge you to give acupuncture a try. read more

Prior to visiting Healing with Zen I had never received any acupuncture treatments. I've been seeing Vanessa consistently for 4 months for a range of issues such as chronic migraines and digestive issues. After consistent treatments I've had minimal symptoms and have been sleeping better with increased energy levels. I would recommend Healing with Zen to anyone seeking alternative treatments. Overall comments on service and treatment: -Very professional bed side manner and staff -Clean facilities -Respond to correspondence promptly - able to accommodate those who work traditional business hours -Very knowledgeable, explanatory and patient (Vanessa always provides comprehensive explanations prior to treatment and listens closely to note any problematic symptoms) -Herbal tea remedy was an effective supplement to regular treatment -Pleasant and caring practitioners read more

I discovered healing with zen via Yelp and was looking for a comfortable setting that would help me with a severe Multiple Sclerosis flair up. I have been working with Sonya for the past couple of months and she has helped address so many of my symptoms. She always knows what exact places to hit and always ensures you are comfortable. I highly recommend healing with zen for any of your medical or emotional needs. The main thing to remember is to continue with treatments! I used to go weekly but after 3 months I come on a bi-weekly basis and saw improvement. Thank you Sonya! read more

I have relied on acupuncture to address various health issues for almost a decade, and have worked with wonderful acupuncturists on both sides of the country, including three practitioners in the Pasadena area. I've been seeing Zen for about a year now and she is one of the best! In my time as her patient, I have experienced significant improvement in the concerns that I initially brought to her, and the relief I have felt has been priceless. Zen is kind, patient, and most importantly, incredibly thorough in her practice. The herbal formula she has prescribed for me has been extremely effective and not too costly. She is a great listener and works very hard to meet your needs while respecting your limitations. (I have frequent scheduling issues due to the nature of my work and commute and have appreciated her patience so much.) Her office is clean and comfortable. I really can't say too many good things about Zen--if you think acupuncture might be the thing for you, do yourself a favor and check her out. read more

I was offered a FREE consultation and was so amazed by Zen's expertise and knowledge. Zen was very informative and gentle, she walked me through each step she was doing. For my first time trying acupuncture, it was a fantastic experience, that's why I decided to purchase a 5-visit package. I walked in with a nagging pain in my hand, shoulder and back. Each visit, she tackled each issue and instantaneously, the pain subsided! I couldn't even tell she had inserted acupuncture needles in me. As with all therapy treatments, multiple visits are a MUST. Even though I felt instant relief, I knew better than to just visit one time and leave it at that. I have since finished my 5-visit package, and am planning on purchasing another package to continue my treatment. If you are looking for a HOLISTIC approach to treating any ailments, try acupuncture...with HEALING WITH ZEN! Whether it's for Anti-Aging, Weight-Loss, joint pain, muscle pains, etc...you'd be surprise at what acupuncturists can do! read more
