Our business of our own and…read moreour partnerships have had periodic shifts, so I find the rates here very approachable, yet the brilliance is 5 stars! I have chosen only this school as the 2nd year students are very brilliant, and their supervising Acupuncturists are very kind, wise and the teamwork is elevated to ensure comfort, body heater, even unexpected massage from Grace, a 2nd year Acupuncture student, who is licensed in massqge too. There are always breakthroughs in pain release. The acupuncture is gentle, painless and the depth of support is truly humble yet brilliant no matter the challenges. I have had treatment sessions from PhD level or 2nd year, and yet all school students are very caring, detailed and brilliant. Enrgy, and Dr Monica Jones, Supervising Acupuncturists, are intuitive, brilliant and very detailed to ensure our sessions have always had breakthroughs in the multitude of times I have come here for different healing needs in acupuncture treatment sessions. I fully recommend this school and their herbal combinations or moxa roll support has also been amazing. Being one who worked in wellness industry workshops with teams past from an education in our aligned wellness and healing paths, now growing in functional medicine, I still learn something new every time I am in a session. Mahalo...thank you to Grace, Adam...Dr Monica Jones and all! Namaste

Today I finished my second visit to SIOM. I bought a Groupon for a fabulous price and couldn't…read moreresist trying acupuncture again. After two visits I really feel better. Today my student Gabby ( I believe that was her name ) really worked magic with sore liver and ovary area. I have never heard of using cords but they worked. Also the minute they start treatment with the ear needles I am wanting to fall asleep. It's a very relaxing experience! She also worked on a sore elbow due to banging on a wall. It immediately felt better and not as sore- I am writing this tonight and it still feels better! If you are looking for excellent treatment by a student with a instructor overseeing try SIOM.. And make sure you check out the local discount sites as they might have a really good deal!

I just saw rose and I remember the times when I didn't go in if I didn't get a massage from her, but today she told me she was working alone and for my 90minutes' massage which actually went on for only 1 hour 5 mins, she hardly spent time in finding the spots that hurt and working on them. I didn't see any difference between a 1 he massage and 1.5 hrs massage. Also, when I told her I was unhappy, she asked me to stop coming there and instead go to another spa altogether! That was hilarious!

I was preparing to step down from an SSRI and wanted to find other therapies to try in support of those changes. Because of my awesome insurance, at first I saw her once a week, and then tapered into 2x/month and monthly as the year went on. In May of this year I decided to break for summer. Now that the days are getting shorter again I look forward to resuming the work w/ Twelve Rivers. My health anxiety means that I think any weird symptoms or bodily sensations that I have are signs of some awful thing. It also makes me skeptical of both traditional and alternative medicine. So it's difficult to say 'Acupuncture is amazing' or why that's so, but the fact is my body seems to be super responsive to it. Very simply, it's taught me to experience/endure strange sensations with less anxiety. Super valuable for anyone with health anxiety!! I often feel woozy and sleepy afterward, somewhat emotionally depleted the next day, then really good the day after that. For me the mental/emotional effects have been cumulative. Physical effects can be almost instant, which is super weird. If I tell Gillian I have foot pain, GI issues, etc, after one or two treatments focusing on that thing, it will feel much better. As others have said, she's thorough and considerate with a great warm presence. I'm not sure how this stuff works but it's ancient! I recommend trying out acupuncture w her as part of your self-care/health program.

Amazing in every way. Julie greeted us at the door and she…read morewas so sweet and showed us around and answered any questions. My first impression of the facility was that it was clean and reminded me a little of Scandinavian style with light wood finishes and simple, classy design. There was a cozy place with chairs and a couch and a fireplace to lounge in, with turmeric ginger tea, strawberry water, regular water, and a few snacks (I didn't have any, I think it was nuts and dried fruit?). The locker room was spacious with a sauna, two huge showers, two toilets, and a changing area with lockers. some toiletries were provided as well. I appreciated that the lockers had a keypad so I didn't have to carry around a key. You can change in the changing area, but if you want more privacy, you are encouraged to go behind the door of the shower, where there's plenty of room to change. The sauna was nice and hot. Loved it. We both opted for the Om package which included a facial and a massage with one enhancement of choice. I have to say, the massage tables here are the most comfortable ones I've ever experienced. They are heated for your comfort, although they can turn off the heat if you run hot. My massage with Allison was lovely and super relaxing. Afterwards, I was brought back to the lounge area where I met up with my friend again and waited for my facial. The aesthetician, Kat, immediately gave off warm and friendly vibes, and I knew right away that she was going to be great. Her recommendations were spot on and her technique was fantastic. Again, so relaxing and I wish I didn't have to leave. Hands down the best facial I have ever experienced. We were allowed to check in an hour prior to our appointments and stay as long as we wanted it afterwards We ended up staying and talking for a couple more hours and enjoying the atmosphere. Every single person we encountered was kind, helpful, and seemed happy to be there. They have product recommendations at the end, but no hard upsell which I appreciated. I will 100% return. My friend and I both loved every minute of our day today.
