The most heard and wholly understood I have felt as a body. Immediate relief and comfort along with deep new levels of understanding. Thank you. read more

Jennifer black is amazing I can't say enough about her, she truly works magic. My only regret is I wish I had more time with her.

Jen is a highly knowledgeable, attentive and talented healer. I'm new to acupuncture and was a bit nervous about needles but Jen creates such a safe, gentle and comfortable space. I'm so grateful for her care and for having Highland Holistic right in our neighborhood. Highly recommend them! read more

Jennifer is a truly talented, authentic healer. I've been her patient for three years, and each treatment is professional, compassionate and effective. Her wealth of knowledge never fails to impress me! read more

Jennifer Black is an incredible healer and one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. I started seeing her years ago after a severe reaction to a cleaning product left me with dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches, and brain fog. Even though she couldn't see me immediately, she took the time to listen and recommended some supplements to help me recover. By the time we had our initial appointment, I was 100% back to normal. Since then, I've been going to Jennifer off and on for nearly 10 years for everything ranging from stomach issues and migraines to stress management and sinus pressure. We do acupuncture treatments, gua sha, cupping, and herbs... I trust Jennifer completely and consider her an essential part of my life-force team! Honestly, without her and Highland Holistic I'd probably be wandering the aisles of Erewhon, lost and clutching celery juice. read more

Jennifer has literally given me back my health. I was suffering from horrible gut issues. I saw a GI specialist, a functional medicine dr & an eastern medicine dr. I spent thousands of dollars trying to fix my extreme bloating and my debilitating fatigue. Taking over 7 supplements and on an extremely restrictive diet. Never restoring me back to my original state. I had seen Jennifer for acupuncture because my functional medicine doctor recommended that weekly treatment on top of everything else that I was doing. I had reached my breaking point and stopped taking everything. One day Jennifer suggested that I take this natural antibiotic & had a theory as to what my issue could be. One pill, that cost less than $25 dollars has reduced my bloating and given me my life back. I truly couldn't be more thankful. If you are suffering from gut issues I highly recommend seeing Jennifer for her eastern medicine recommendations along with her acupuncture. THANK YOU JENNIFER read more

Excellent care. Kind, thorough, and ethical. I cannot recommend Highland Holistic enough.

Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to create custom treatments which I so appreciate. I have had pretty significant pain relief since coming here. read more

Jennifer at Highland is amazing, truly. Open, passionate about your care, attentive, so clear in what's happening and why, and of course, most importantly good! Everyone's health/care is different and will have different paths, but for me, I can attest that I've had neck and joint pain observably dissipate with treatment. And my personal favorite part, the physical benefits are seemingly symptomatic of deeper, more systemic healings. Highly recommend. read more

It's relaxing place and helpful.. being honest with her customer service.. she is able to answer all questions with honesty

Jen brought me back to life since having my daughter and continues to be a person I can trust for my care. She is knowledgeable, kind and dedicated to her clients. She is a gift. I just started working with her sister Maureen for metabolic balancing and I'm looking forward to learning more about my health and wellness. Highland Holistic has given me a better quality life. read more

Jen has been treating me for chronic shoulder pain, poor sleep, digestion, and sebbhoretic dermatitis on my face and scalp. A month into acupuncture, gua sha, and Chinese herbs, I'm already seeing improvements on all fronts. Jen's evaluation is thoughtful and thorough, and if asked can give insights to how the treatment is rooted in Chinese medicine philosophy. Good new for folks with Cigna insurance: I have been able to do co-pay of $50/visit! read more

Really enjoyed our session with Jen. She took the time to do a comprehensive intake, asking a lot of questions and also patiently answering all ours. I appreciate how she gave us a background on TCM and it was clear that she was invested in healing some skin issues we've been struggling with and haven't had much luck in treating with the western dermatologists' approach. She is very responsive and communicative over email so we feel fully supported. Her practice space is peaceful and inviting with lovely lighting - it had an immediately calming and centering effect. Parking is a breeze too! :) (it's the little things!) Thank you Jen! read more

I've been seeing Jen for Interstitial Cystitis for the last 4 months and she has absolutely changed my life for the better. For weeks prior to meeting her, 5 doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me (my symptoms came on very quickly and strongly), nor did they do anything to help, including a very expensive specialist and the emergency room. From the minute I spoke with Jen on the phone, I knew I was in good hands. She was transparent, generous with her time, and incredibly knowledgeable. Since seeing her (initially twice a week, now down to twice a month) I've experienced her as incredibly smart and insightful, comforting and understanding, dedicated to her work and to learning, honest, communicative, responsive, trustworthy, generous, and always thinking of new, creative ways to help. Without Jen, I would not have even gotten a diagnosis, nor would I be in such a better place physically than I was. She has a vast knowledge of herbs in addition to everything else she does, so I have also been taking herbal pills, which have greatly helped my symptoms. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Everyone is so helpful and kind, plus Jennifer is amazing need I say more, probably, but as soon as you walk in a feel the calming environment you will know you are where you need to be. read more

This is a wonderful practice. My treatments have been instantly helpful. Each experience is thoughtfully designed for the individual. The atmosphere is also extremely relaxing, quiet and zen. read more

I always leave here feeling better than when I entered. The work with Jennifer is calming and thorough. She has helped me with many physical and emotional issues and I enjoy coming back. Highly recommend! read more

I'm from Highland Park and I am so annoyed with myself that I didn't find Jen sooner! I had been experiencing chronic fatigue, constipation etc. Main reason I went to see Jen today was for my vertigo. Jen is very knowledgeable and took the time to dig deep down what could be the cause of my ailments. She also took the time in explaining everything to me and the treatment plan she has laid out for me cos obviously I have so much going on in my body. I walked out of her office feeling brand new, not dizzy anymore. Jen is very nice and compassionate too! I hate to compare but I went to see another acupuncturist in the past and she never explained anything to me at all unlike how Jen did! Definitely recommended! read more

I LOVE this place! Been working with Jennifer for only 2 weeks now but I just love the attention they give you. Other acupuncturists I've been to just see you, stick some needles and that's it. I never feel rushed. She actually asks how I am feeling and whats going on. And always asks about my pain tolerance. This place is so clean and professional. It's a shame she's not covered by my insurance but it's still so worth it! Can't wait to see my progress. read more

Cannot tell you how many people I have recommended Jennifer to. Every one who goes comes back to me raving. Thankful for this practice.

I've been seeing Jen for the last 2.5 years for several chronic autoimmune-type issues. When I first came in I was in pretty bad shape after years of suffering and much experimentation with both allopathic and alternative methods without a lot of improvement. Jen may be one of the most genuinely caring and committed care providers I've seen, and fortunately for me, she's also a genius at what she does. After receiving regular Chinese herbal medicine treatments and acupuncture, my symptoms have improved drastically, and I am far healthier than I ever thought possible. I owe a great deal to Jen's persistence and deep knowledge. Also also: her designs for nerdy-yet-beautiful acupuncture posters are so clutch. Go get poked and see what I mean. read more

I don't know where to begin. The first thing you feel after entering is the calm energy surrounding the waiting area. The clean, cozy, and soothing ambiance always sets the tone for what comes next. I had never been to an acupuncturist prior to coming to Highland Holistic (HH) and my only regret is why didn't I come sooner. After my car accident in 2016, I was living with constant headaches, upper back pain (sharp burning sensation), stiffness, sprain wrist and I couldn't sleep. Nothing prescribed nor therapy was working. My doctor recommended seeking acupuncture and I came across HH. Jennifer Black is gentle, caring, knowledgeable and passionate about her work to say the least. Her magic hands, as I like to call them, have helped me tremendously. I no longer have headaches, wrist pain or stiffness. My upper back pain is minor and manageable with weekly visits and CUPPING!! I don't know if I'm supposed to say this but she doesn't just treat me for one thing, she listens, assesses and manages to treat ALL my issues. She's my gem!! I can't and won't live without her. read more

I absolutely love Highland Holistic. I've been going to Kaylie for acupuncture for years and recently she introduced somatic therapy which has been a lovely addition to the treatments. I started working with Jen a few weeks ago and it's been amazing to learn from her and to work with herbs. So much wisdom and compassion in this space. Couldn't recommend it enough. read more

I am someone who is for the most part healthy, and have not had to deal with lots of issues or visiting the Doctor often. But recently, I had a case of hives that were not going away. While I have sensitive skin, chronic hives was not something I had ever dealt with before. I went to a dermatologist and was told to take 10mg of Claritin twice a day for 8 weeks. This was not easy for me and was challenging, because while I see the need for the use of medicine, I rarely take antibiotics, supplements, or pills of any form really. I was open to it though and really did not have an alternative at the time because I was scared something was very wrong with me. The Claritin did not get rid of the hives, it barely suppressed it. I tried the keto diet, I tried whole30, and did not drink for two months and still it was there. I had bloodwork done and all the results came back normal. I was frustrated and worried and feeling like this was something I would have to deal with long-term, because after two months nothing really changed. I was nervous I would have to barely eat or drink anything I enjoyed and do a crazy permanent elimination diet for the rest of my life, because if two months of 20 mg of Claritin a day was not knocking it out, then something was wrong with me. One day, when I had reached my wit's end, I started researching online and saw that acupuncture has been shown to have positive effects on hives. It was early in the new year and my insurance from my last place of employment was finished, so I thought I would try something new. I contacted Highland Holisitic and Jennifer Black happened to pick up the phone (which I know was lucky of me) and made time to see me THAT day, at the END of her day, on a fully scheduled Saturday. Her compassion and care was immediately received on my end, even through the phone. Visiting Jen was the best decision I could have made in this long, confusing and scary journey. She is an amazing listener, and a very talented acupuncture practitioner- she is VERY knowledgable and knows her stuff. I came to her office, vulnerable and nervous of what she might say, I even cried in front of her bc I was losing hope, but she was sweet and comforting. She was confident in her ability to help me and I felt lighter leaving her office that day. Jen was able to educate me on what was going on and had a thorough examination, unlike any experience i've had in a medical setting. Jen has always been honest about how long the process would take, and it took about two-three months to rid my body of hives, but they are officially gone. I would say I have emailed Jen about a hundred times and she always responds in a timely manner and is thoughtful and helpful. This is something that I did not think could happen, and I have been able to live my life with enjoyment in it. If I had not met Jen I would have kept searching things online, cutting all foods out of my life, basically being miserable and possibly taking hard meds just to live in peace. I am so grateful for Jen, for Highland Holistic, and for their knowledge and consistency. I hope to utilize Highland Holistic when I start a family because I have heard amazing things about their fertility treatments. read more

I was struggling with puzzling health issues that I knew deep down were interconnected but couldn't get any resolutions from other doctors or practitioners I had seen. Jen took a long time asking me questions and deeply listening to what I was experiencing. She was able to put into words things I had been feeling for over a year but didn't know exactly how to describe. I've seen her for almost a month and my energy has returned and pain subsided. I feel like I'm on the road to becoming myself again. Definitely come here if you are seeking help! It is a healing environment and one that can provide a new way forward. read more

my experience at this place has been nothing but positive. The acupuncture rooms are super comfortable, relaxing and cool. I knew nothing about chinese medicine Or too much about acupuncture before coming here. Kaylie H. Really opened my eyes to the amazing benefits of both and has been very helpful. My hair is already starting to look so much better than it did as far as texture and appearance. Can't wait to see what's to come in the coming months ! read more

This place is my oasis, I go here to soothe and heal. The treatments are always amazing, I feel rejouvenated, pain free, and energized.

Kaylie Hopper was wonderful, personable and kind! I did the community acupuncture with her a few weeks ago. It really helped with my shoulder, neck, and upper back tightness and also made me feel more energized and relaxed, since I work at a desk all day it really made a difference. I will try to come every month! It's only $30 for the once a month Sunday community acupuncture 1 hour session. All you need to do is a share a room with another person. It's really great! read more

Thank you Jennifer for getting me out of pain and back to an energized self! This place is amazing, a neighborhood jewel. I've seen so many acupuncturists and Jennifer is the best. The treatments are always effective and the surroundings are beautiful and calming. They have herbal supplements as well and always make you feel cared for. It's really the best place to go for any issue small or serious. I trust Jennifer and recommend this practice highly for anyone wanting to try acupuncture for the first time or for an extended treatment! Saskia read more

Jennifer has been a great help in relieving my muscle tension. I have tried other acupuncturists who only made me feel relaxed. Jennifer's treatment makes me relaxed and goes deeper to relieve the tension in my neck,back and arms. The questions she asks are very thoughtful. And she has a kind and healing energy. read more

Jen is really the best! My baby girl was suffering from eczema to the point that she was unable to sleep and constantly itching. We visited many doctors and nothing was working. Since working with Jen our baby girl is no longer itching, her eczema has cleared, and everyone is sleeping through the night. I am so thankful for her help! She will be our go-to person! read more

Jennifer helped my husbands hands which were very swollen (tendonitis) from being overworked. She was also very kind and helpful when i called her for suggestions on how to properly make the golden milk tea she suggested we have him drink daily. She's very knowledgable and passionate about her work. He continues to see her often & its great since shes right down the street from our house. read more

What a beautiful new space to get acupuncture! Even before you start your treatment the atmosphere of the shop helps you get into a more relaxed and open mood. So comfortable! I have been getting treatment from Kaylie Hopper since she was working at her school clinic in Santa Monica. I was so stoked to learn that she had taken a job on the east side and I would no longer have to drive across town to see her, although I would have! I was intimidated by acupuncture for so long, I'm really not a needle person, but kaylie has made it so enjoyable and it has helped my lower back pain a lot. Now that I'm pregnant I am so stoked to have Kaylie around to get me through these nine months. If you're a first timer she is the woman to see! read more

I have been seeing Jen Black for acupuncture and cupping for a few years. Her treatment has brought relief to pain that will flare up in my wrist as well as my lower back. Jen is meticulous, thoughtful, honest, and kind. She trained under renowned masters in her field, and is extremely knowledgeable and well experienced. The space itself is also absolutely gorgeous. I recommend Highland Holistic to everyone. Midwifery and reiki are also offered by other practitioners. You can't go wrong here. read more

Kaylie has been helping me with a number of things through acupuncture. I really enjoy her as a person and appreciate that she is so knowledgeable in all things eastern medicine and she takes the time to talk me through what's going on in my body and how it can be corrected over time through acupuncture and herbs. The location is convent, peaceful, clean and just aesthetically pleasing as a bonus. Plus she is very reasonably priced and keeps on schedule, I've never waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. I don't know if this is normal, but she includes cupping in my service if I request it which is a huge plus! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an acupuncturists. read more

Jennifer has been treating me for severe blepheritus on my eyelids and for digestion issues. She is very attentive and mindful about ways to treat the issues I present with. The Chinese herbs she prescribed have already been effective and I have been experiencing less flare ups with my eyes since starting treatment with her. She is very knowledgeable and puts a lot of time and energy into thinking about how she can best support me in treating the issues that I present with. Highly recommend for people looking to take a more holistic approach to their health! read more

Highland Holistic has been a welcomed blessing in my life. As soon as you walk in the vibe is relaxed and welcoming. I have been seeing Kaylie for about two months and she has helped me with a stomach issue I have been haunted with for 3 years and some chronic pain off and on for longer than that. Healing is a process that often is layered & my body is feeling better with her help. I feel safe in her hands and with her intuition/knowledge/and soft touch when it comes to the needles. She really takes the time to understand what is happening and has taught me a lot about additional ways I can care for myself that are easy. So fortunate to have Highland Holistic in my neighborhood. read more

Jen and Kaylie are amazing. They have helped me overcome medical issues that conventional medicine could not find a cure or solution. Highly recommend the both of them read more
