I've been seeing Alison for acupuncture for years, and I honestly can't recommend her enough. She's helped me through chronic back issues that I struggled with for so long, and the relief I've gotten from working with her has been life-changing. Beyond the physical care, she's also supported me through some really difficult emotional and traumatic periods in my life. She has such a calming presence and creates a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely cared for. Alison is not only incredibly skilled, but deeply intuitive and compassionate. I trust her completely, which says everything. She's hands down the best practitioner I've ever worked with, and I'm so grateful to have had her in my life all these years. read more

Alison is incredible! I have followed her to several different locations for acupuncture over the years, and she is absolutely the best I've ever seen. Whether she's treating my migraines, chronic shoulder pain, or sleep issues, I always leave feeling better and wake up feeling like a new person. I recommend her to all of my friends and clients. She is so kind and professional and you truly feel like you're in great hands. Thank you, Alison! read more

I had a wonderful massage today with Mama Lounge's new therapist Pepper. Her touch was comforting and she quickly found exactly what my body needed. I had some kinks in my neck that were messing up my alignment; Pepper not only knew how to find the right spots to get those out, but also how to guide my movements and breath to get to the muscles that were at the core of the problem. This was truly therapeutic and not your average massage. 5 stars read more

Their team changed my life! I rarely write Yelp reviews but feel so compelled because of how incredible the Mama Lounge team is. I have been seeing both Maya & Allison for a year. I was diagnosed with PCOS at age 30 and struggled to get my period more than twice a year. Within 3 months, I started to get my period every 45 days - I couldn't believe it! I also got pregnant immediately (almost too fast lol) when we started trying later in the year. Beyond PCOS/fertility, they completely changed my diet and how I saw food. Without going on a diet I started to understand how nutrients affect my cycle/health, and if I ever had questions on what supplement or specific item to buy (ex: sugar-free chocolate vs honey), I would email Allison. Having women I trusted was SO invaluable for my health and peace of mind...especially once I got pregnant! Overall - these guys are the very best and the acupuncture + guidance was the best thing I spent on in the last few years. Wish I had discovered them sooner. read more

I had to cancel my first time appointment because the masseuse was not vaccinated - heads up for anyone that feels you should be protecting yourself and your baby from Covid. While I could schedule with someone who is, don't really want to be in that environment. read more

The business has moved ( not as shown in the photos) and changed ownership. The new location is nice and treatment rooms are a definitely larger than the previous location , however it is up a flight of stairs. Their website needs updating ( put up your new photo's and take down old ones Mama Lounge). Can't comment on any of the practitioners currently there as they are all new to me. I went several times to the new space and never worried about vaccinated or not as we all wore masks and I am vaccinated. I had a massage there once and the cover sheet looked transparent to me but I didn't hang around to check. Overall a really great place where I had excellent treatments. read more

It's not easy to leave a bad review, but I just want others to know and protect themselves. I made an appointment with an assumption that the crew there are all vaccinated, considering the current circumstances . I asked the receptionist if they're all vaccinated and she told me that she couldn't share other people's info with me and I should ask them myself. I asked the guys who was assigned to do my treatment and he confirmed that he was not vaccinated!!! I personally did not feel comfortable spending 60 minutes with someone that could possibly have or carry COVID. Not acceptable to me! read more

Mama lounge is a haven for health and healing. A few years ago I was told by my OB-GYN that there was absolutely "nothing I could do" about large blood clots I was experiencing alongside major fatigue and lethargy. After only a few weeks at mama lounge, my clotting vanished entirely and I had more energy than I believed possible after having two children. Maya is a genius with needles and fertility issues. And if you get the chance, book a massage with Morgan (I'm very particular about massage and he is skilled skilled, attentive and intuitive). Thank you, mama lounge! read more

I couldn't possibly explain how wonderful my experience with Mama Lounge, and specifically my acupuncturist Melanie, is in this review, but I'll try. If you are on the fence about trying acupuncture or coming to Mama Lounge, do it! I started seeing Melanie regularly after a couple months of trying to get pregnant. Throughout our appointments, she not only treated me and made me feel at ease and relaxed, but gave me great advice for my everyday life of things that would aid in my trying to conceive journey. Each of our sessions was focused on what I was needing at that time and where I was in my cycle during that appointment. I got pregnant about 5 months after I started seeing Melanie and continued to see her throughout my pregnancy. Into my second trimester I learned I had partial placenta previa and wouldn't be able to to try for a vaginal delivery unless the placenta moved, and would have to do cesarean at 36 weeks. After I learned this, Melanie focused my treatments specifically for the previa and also provided a tincture to take at home to help with this as well. At my 32 week ultrasound, the previa was completely gone and I was cleared for delivery and able to carry my baby full term. I also had wonderful pre-natal massages at Mama Lounge and post-partum acupuncture sessions to help with healing. All of the staff is so knowledgeable and supportive, I can't recommend this place enough. It is an amazing environment and you feel a sense of calm as soon as you walk in the door. read more

I have been seeing Bailey Huizar during my pregnancy to help with fatigue and preparing for labor. I love our appointments! She is very easy to talk to and makes me feel really comfortable and cared for during my treatments. She went to nursing school before becoming an acupuncturist and has trained as a doula, so she has a deep knowledge of the human body and pregnancy. I leave our appointments feeling calm, happy, and more prepared to take on labor. Now that I am past 40 weeks we have been working on inducing labor and trying to coax baby girl out into the world. Hopefully, she'll be here any day now. It has been incredibly important for me to have support as I've been going through this fertility, conception, and pregnancy journey. I cannot recommend Bailey highly enough! read more

After one failed IVF attempt, I contacted Mama Lounge to see if acupuncture would be helpful as I gear up for a second round. Melani is so empathetic and caring. The treatments have brought me great relaxation and a more balanced outlook on what the future holds for me. Jill, at the desk, is kind and responsive. All in all, great experience for me. read more

Melani is the absolute best! I went to Mama Lounge regularly for 4 months while trying to get pregnant and now I'm happy to say I have a healthy baby boy :-) My experience at Mama Lounge was wayyy more than just acupuncture. Melani was someone I could talk to about every single detail about my journey to get pregnant. She would listen, offer kind words and advice, and help strategically place the needles to best boost my fertility. Oh, a word about needles... I generally hate them. But I absolutely love acupuncture. It's so relaxing and you barely feel the needles. So don't let that aspect turn you off! I would almost always fall sleep during the treatment and wake feeling calm and de-stressed. I can't thank Melani enough for her kindness and warm heart. She truly cares about her clients. read more

I found the Mama Lounge on a whim and I'm so glad I did! I originally started seeing Melani Eichenbaum to begin the process of freezing my eggs. My follicle count wasn't that high, so I wanted to take the necessary actions to make sure I could get the highest possible count for myself. After seeing Melani for a couple weeks in a row, I went into my doctors office for my first ultrasound and he was AMAZED at what he saw as my count definitely grew! On the flip side, during my egg freezing process, my anxiety was at an all time high, to which Melani helped me get through. She knew exactly what to dial in on and I always felt amazing coming out of my sessions with her. One of my favorite parts about seeing Melani is that she really connects with you on a personal level. She knows what questions to ask and better yet, her approach is so gentle, that you really feel at home. I see her every other week for my anxiety to make sure it stays at bay....and it has! I truly can't thank the Mama Lounge enough! Melani is superwoman in my eyes. And I always think superwomen travel in packs, if you catch my drift... read more

There is no simple way to say how amazing Mama Lounge is. I started going to Mama Lounge in the beginning of August when my husband and i were trying to conceive. We had been trying for 3 months with no success, so I turned to acupuncture - which at the time I knew nothing about. I wasn't sure what to expect or how to feel going into my first appointment. As soon as I arrived at Mama Lounge, I knew I was going to love it. From the gentle incense that is burning, to the warm tea that they offer, to the clean and inviting waiting space they have created - everything there said, "you will be taken care of here". I met with Amy that day, and she took the time to thoroughly go through my medical history, how I was feeling physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and what my ultimate goal was by coming to Mama Lounge. Amy created a unique and custom plan to help get my body back on track (my menstrual cycles had been thrown slightly off my the removal of my IUD) and met with me weekly as I embarked on my path to motherhood. Fast forward 3 months, and I finally saw 2 pink lines show up on my pregnancy test, and today am happy to report that I am 13 weeks pregnant. There are no words for the care that is given at Mama Lounge. It's personal, it's intimate, and it is given by women who care deeply about other women. I would give this place 100 stars if I could. read more

I don't know what I'll do without Mama Lounge. I discovered them randomly in 2018 as I was looking to do some acupuncture to put my body and energy back on track (after going through an important liver surgery), and with the desire of having a baby. I was amazed by the serenity of the place, and I immediately felt welcomed, relaxed and at ease. Melani is a wonderful acupuncturer, and a great listener. I would recommend her to anyone. Also, every treatment she did on me, worked wonderfully. I used to go there once a week for my "me moment" and relaxation time. This is my oasis of calm and serenity. Since I had my baby, I still manage to go once a month, and have been amazed by how well they adapted to this new covid era. Everything is clean, sanitized, we wear masks and use hydroalcoholic gel, so overall it always felt very safe. Thank you to the Mama Lounge team! read more

I was gifted a prenatal massage appointment at Mama Lounge and had an amazing experience. The Mama Lounge is calming and very welcoming with soft lighting, light music and a pleasant waiting room. The massage room was the perfect temperature, clean and private. My masseuse, Nichapa Meechukant was fabulous! Honestly, one of the best massages of my life, and the best prenatal I've had after going to a few other locations. She is very talented, and knows how to adjust pressure and relieve tension and stress. read more

I would not go here for a prenatal massage. The name "mama lounge" is deceiving. They don't have pregnancy tables so you can lay on your stomach - only a pillow to lie on your side and stare at a sharps container. If a business calls themselves a "mama lounge", I would think it would be tailored more towards pregnancy and making women feel comfortable. My massage therapist entered the room late, did not introduce himself and didn't even know I was there for a prenatal massage. He seemed uninformed and uncomfortable, which only made me want to walk out. The lights were on the whole time, no relaxing music or any special treatment. Atmosphere felt sterile. I wouldn't waste money or time here for a prenatal massage. read more

Amazingly wonderful and kind people. I'm post IVF transfer visiting and vacationing from our of town. I felt so calm and cared for. Full of gratitude. read more

Got a 90-minute prenatal massage to treat myself for hitting the 37 week mark. It was a pretty penny, $180, but I figured my body deserved it. I have to say, it's not what I was expecting, I probably should have researched the type of massage a bit more before booking it. What I was really looking for was something frilly, a ton of lotion, candles, dark room. I got more deep tissue massage with a bright room and some oil. Pros: -It helped my back pain. -They had a pregnancy pillow, so it was easy to lie on my tummy without being uncomfortable Cons: -There was construction right on pine st and there was no mention of this anywhere or any apology for the noise. The room I was in was right on the street, with bright windows on top, so it was bright and at some points kind of loud. I understand it's not their fault, but they didn't even acknowledge it, which was frustrating. -My massage therapist kept trying to have a conversation with me and didn't catch the hint when I barely responded to her questions. I don't feel like I have to say, ' I don't want to talk' when getting a massage. -After mentioning that I had hip pain and some tingling in my hands and legs, the massage therapist mentioned it sounded like I was low on magnesium and told me she's also a nutritionist and I could come see her at her office. Mind you, I'm literally in the middle of a massage already paying $180 to try to relax and I'm being told I could see her for another service. Just a no no in my mind. Overall, would I come here again? Probably not. It's not the type of massage I was looking for, my fault for not researching it, but for the price I paid, there were no other amenities to enjoy or privacy from the noises and lights of the outside. read more

This place was my haven throughout my pregnancy! I started going to Mama Lounge right when I got pregnant and instantly fell in love with the place -- thanks to Melani. She was so sweet right from the beginning and took her time to get to know me and to truly understand my needs. She became my go-to for everything--acupuncture, nutrition, sleep, therapy! I absolutely adored her. I went every two weeks because I loved going and felt so relaxed and happy after each session. She gave me valuable guidance and advice... and as a first timer in the pregnancy department, I felt that I was in good hands. I experienced really bad sciatic nerve pain around 30 weeks -- it was about a week before my husband and I are were about to go to our babymoon out of the country. It was the worst pain I had ever felt at the time and was already planning on canceling our trip. I saw a chiro and a physical therapist per my doctor's advice. It didn't do much so I came running (and crying lol) to Melani for help and after two back to back sessions, the pain went away and never came back. I was able to go on our trip and had the best time. Melani is truly heaven sent! I highly recommend going. I never did acupuncture before pregnancy and only went because my aunt suggested it. I'm so glad I did! read more

I found Mama Lounge on a random day when I and my husband decided that we are not going to go IUI and IVF route to have a baby. I was off the pill and i wanted to see if there are other ways to regulate my cycle. I have never had a regular cycle since my cycle started at 12 years old and the combination pill (estrogen & progesterone) was creating other issues. I started working with Melani Eichenbaum at the beginning of last year (2018) and buoy was in for a ride full of surprises and possibilities that i couldn't have imagined existed. Melani has assisted with multiple phases of my life and here is a brief on each phase: Pre-pregnancy: With my focus on getting my cycle regulated, Melani suggested some adjustment to my diet (exclusion & inclusion of certain foods). With weekly acupuncture, I began to feel 15 years younger within 2 months as my energy levels throughout the day were so much higher than what I had settled down for. Within 3 months. I began to feel the range of emotions that I had not felt before (crying at movies, feeling these spurts of love and affection for closed ones. Think of me as a non-expressive Tom Boy sort). And lo and behold I became pregnant within 5.5 months. Pregnancy: I couldn't have asked for a more smooth and fun pregnancy. I did weekly acupuncture in the first 10 weeks as recommended to hold the baby. And I never saw a single day of nausea or backache or low energy. Although Melani always suggested that should I face any of those issue she can certainly help. And I was always made to believe that it's something you suffer through the pregnancy but now I know better. I delivered a happy and healthy baby earlier this year. Postpartum: With a six week growth spurt of my newborn I were struggling with my breast milk supply, one session with Melani, increased the supply so much that not only my newborn was satisfied I were able to create a stash for her for future use. Currently I am working with Melani to treat my pelvic floor weakness (leaves me exhausted as I run errands or stand for more than 10 mins) that really came on 10 weeks postpartum. Within 2 sessions I have already begun to feel better. With my account of things above that Melani is able to treat, it goes without saying that I highly recommend her. I also strongly agree with all the reviewers below about her ability to connect and listen as well as great bedside manner. I would summarize my review by just saying that I have not seen any other business that is so skillful in treating women effectively and with such pure intent at heart. read more

After years of hearing "We did all these tests but there's nothing we can do about it" from Western doctors, I came to see Amy (as a last resort, I'll admit) for an egg intolerance and slew of other health issues. Fast forward a year, I now see Amy twice a month and leave every session feeling more grounded, rested, and ready to take on the world. Amy is incredibly thoughtful and responsive in each session, adjusting to your long term goals and immediate needs, and dispensing the right herbs to support you between sessions. I've lost track of the small miracles that have happened, but the best part is that I can finally enjoy eating eggs again! True to the name of her practice, Amy is the surrogate mama for my well-being. You don't need to be a woman trying to conceive to see how a gentle, long term holistic view can improve your health. (Although when that time does come for me, you know who I will be seeing!) If you're a woman with organs, hormones, a busy life, and a truck load of emotions, then Mama Lounge is your haven to repair, restore, and recharge. read more

Acupuncture wasn't my thing until I met Amy. Now I'm a believer! When I told my OB about my plan to have an unmedicated birth, she immediately recommended two things: acupuncture and a doula. I found Mama Lounge on Yelp (and our doula through Mama Lounge), and was hooked from the moment I walked in the door. The vibe is just like a power yoga class... hippie healer meets the modern world. On my first visit, which was at 15 weeks, Amy took the time to get to know me, my health, and where I was at mentally and emotionally. Then she got to work. Over the course of my pregnancy, Amy continually checked in with every aspect of my well being, from aches and pains to the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy, then worked her magic with those needles until I felt centered again. I left every appointment feeling healed, blissed out, and invigorated. As if that weren't enough, Amy made me feel like a part of her Mama community. She has a ton of resources and sage wisdom on all things natural pregnancy and birth. In the end, I was able to have an unmedicated birth at 40 weeks and 4 days. My only regret is that I didn't start with Amy sooner. (I bet she would've worked wonders on that first trimester morning sickness!) Next time... ;) I recommend Mama Lounge with my whole heart and soul. Go here! read more

Consistently cancelled my massage appointments, sometimes at the last minute without offering any discounts. Don't depend on them if you're sore and in need of a rub. This was unacceptable during my pregnancy and postpartum period and I was left to scramble. It's not ok to be this unreliable. read more

I had my first ever prenatal massage with Heather at Mama Lounge and cannot recommend her enough! I was at the end of my first trimester, and coming out of the fog of nausea and fatigue, as well as dealing with headaches. Though I was a little nervous about having a massage while pregnant (this is my first pregnancy), I was immediately reassured to learn Heather is also a doula. She focused on my neck and shoulders before moving on to a full body massage, and talked me through areas she was avoiding so as not to cause discomfort. The room is spacious and comfortable, and I left feeling completely relaxed and soothed. Heather was also able to give me feedback on areas of tightness in my body, and what I could do to better prepare my body for labour - which I found really helpful. Overall I highly recommend going to see Heather if you're experiencing any of the aches and pains of pregnancy, or just looking for a blissful moment before things get crazy! read more

Alison and the team at Mama Lounge have been my heroes during the pandemic and a cross country move to SF. Pregnancy is not something that I'm seeking at this time, and Alison has taken the time to understand what I'm experiencing with my fertility, balancing hormones, and other stress related symptoms. She is understanding, flexible, kind, and an overall wonderful human and practitioner. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine is astounding and I constantly feel heard. Everyone at Mama Lounge has been a pleasure to work with. I feel that my quality of life has improved greatly since going to Alison at Mama Lounge. read more

I saw Melani Eichenbaum as my acupuncturist at Mama Lounge. I was diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension and was recommended an early medical induction at 37 weeks. Since I was not emotionally or physically ready for the medical induction, I tried everything under the sun (naturally) to help him along. Melanie was very confident and reassuring. She was so generous and flexible with fitting me in for repeat appointments if my baby did not come out. Two acupuncture appointments, herbal tincture and several capsules of evening primrose oil later, he eventually came "on his own" at 38 weeks and 5 days, healthy and happy. read more

Words cannot express how special Mama Lounge is to me. The help and guidance I have received from Rachel Schaefer is truly invaluable. She has become my teacher, my friend, my herbalist, my acupuncturist, my nutritionist, my therapist :)...my savior. In a world of confusing terms and decisions to be made, she has helped me so much. I have been going through fertility treatment for some time now and Rachel has been the beacon of light for me. IVF is a weird process that was totally unfamiliar to us as a couple when starting. Rachel was able to explain our process from start to finish - the priming, the protocols, the medications, the retrieval and transfer in depth to a point where I felt comfortable moving forward - this was something no one at UCSF was doing for me. I would leave UCSF feeling more confused than ever but thanks to Rachel, I have come to understand. She has taught me about eating different foods during my cycle which has made the world of difference in how I feel overall. I feel great I have gained so much more knowledge from her than anywhere or anyone else. She is extremely smart and professional. She knows what she is talking about. She has been in the business for a long time and helped so many patients achieve their fertility goals. I trust her with my whole heart. During the actual accupuncture treatment, she really gets to know you and how you are feeling in that exact moment and where you are in your cycle and fertility treatment and adjusts accordingly. I never want to leave - it is by far the best time of my week. And finally, I got pregnant after seeing Rachel for awhile and I honestly think it wouldn't have happened if I wasn't seeing her. I truly believe that! So if you are looking for someone to help you along with your fertility journey, she is the best person. Also, Stacy at the front desk could not be kinder - Amy, Melani and Heather are great too. I love Mama Lounge! :) read more

I came to Alison and the team after a miscarriage and a scary fertility diagnosis last year, in what was already a crazy year moving countries in a pandemic. I fully credit Alison with not only helping me keep my sanity but also helping me getting pregnant naturally this year. I'm so grateful to have met her and the team, and they have even fully converted my acupuncture sceptic husband who now sees Andrew every other week, and has seen amazing progress through his asthma and sports injuries. Also its important to mention I went through a round of embryo retrieval last year, and had unexpectedly brilliant results. My fertility doctor was so surprised that he only made us do one round instead of the planned two. I saw Alison twice a week through that process and had hardly any of the expected nasty symptoms that come with all the hormones, and then went on to have incredible results through the process. read more

I highly recommend Melani for acupuncture. I had just experienced my third miscarriage when I turned to acupuncture for help with fertility. Melani was a breath of fresh air, she really took the time to listen to me and understand my health history. She is very experienced and has a very peaceful demeanor. She is easy to talk to and I always looked forward to our sessions. After three months of acupuncture I was blessed to get pregnant naturally and now have a baby boy.  Even after I moved out of SF she continued to follow up with me and check-in to see how I was doing. Melanie is truly the best and I can't say enough positive things about her. read more

Melani is an absolute joy and I am so grateful to have her in my life. She has been an integral part of my personal wellness program for nearly two years. I started seeing her in the Marina and happily followed her to Mama Lounge when she made the move earlier this year. She has shown such compassion & care for me as a human being, which allows me to feel fully seen & heard in her presence. It's a unique trait that I have not experienced with other wellness practitioners. She is truly committed to her craft and it is evidenced by her impeccable work and amazing depth of knowledge when it comes to Chinese medicine. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in holistic healing. read more

Anyone who has had fertility issues knows what an emotional rollercoaster each month can be. I came to Amy and Kerry for help with fertility issues after trying to get pregnant for 7 months with no luck. My cycle was all out of whack, ranging anywhere from 28-43 days and I wasn't sure I was even ovulating. I was an emotional wreck, but coming to Mama Lounge each week provided me with hope and support that my situation could change. Amy and Kerry are phenomenal at what they do. Through acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and belly massages from Lisa Souza (the BEST massage therapist EVER), we were able to get my cycle back on track and I'm now 36 weeks pregnant! I've continued to get regular acupuncture and I truly believe that it has helped me have a pretty easy pregnancy (no morning sickness, minimal heartburn, no constipation). And seriously, get a massage from Lisa! As a former massage therapist myself, I'm very particular about what I like. Lisa is incredibly intuitive and her touch is amazing; just let her hands work their magic on you. I saw her for abdominal massage while trying to conceive and have been getting prenatal massages from her which are heavenly. I can't recommend Amy, Kerry, and Lisa highly enough! read more

I had never had acupuncture until I was pregnant with my 3rd and dreaded the thought of morning sickness (I had it pretty badly with first two pregnancies). I did some research and went to Mama lounge unsure if what to expect. Amy was supportive, kind and knowledgable. I was not as ill as I had been before, making it an easier pregnancy. My wonderful baby is born but I still see Amy for general well being visits and leave her office revitalized. The office is inviting, clean, bright and fresh!! Thank you Mama lounge!!!! read more

I have gone to Mama Lounge on and off for a few years. The practitioners here are amazing. I have had really great success and care from all of them. I don't give it 5 stars because I think the office staff is incompetent. She has messed up the scheduling of my appointments which has been really inconvenient for me. It's frustrating when you love the care but have trouble with the business side. read more

I'm such a huge fan of Amy Gordon. For years I've been sending my doula clients and prenatal yoga students to Amy and now as a mama myself I've been seeing Amy throughout my pregnancy. She has helped so many of my doula mamas have smooth and efficient labors, find emotional peace, and work through physical challenges. Personally, before seeing Amy I tried acupuncture about 12 times with different practitioners and always found the sessions uncomfortable and often painful. Amy is so gentle and the sessions are always a pleasure. Her care has helped me stay balanced and healthy. Thank you Amy for all that you do to support mamas. PS: The new space is so lovely and I've always found parking within a block or two for day time appointments. read more

Booked a massage appointment for my partner but Mama Lounge cancelled at the last minute and were glib and discourteous about letting us know. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and scheduled a second time only to have them cancel at the last minute again. That's too many strikes. We won't be trying a third time. read more

I had an AMAZING experience with Mama lounge. Working with Heather was GREAT. Had three session before my due date and two after delivery. Helped me very much. Totally recommend working with Heather :-) read more

Amy Gordon is a gem and she has created a beautiful atmosphere of support and honor at Mama Lounge. I love that her focus is where her passion lies, with supporting women throughout their childbearing year. Her passion comes out in every interaction I have ever had with her, and her warmth serves to further enhance acupuncture's benefits. Whether seeking her support for fertility, for comfort and balance during pregnancy, to prepare the body and mind for labor, or to restore and support the postpartum spirit, Amy truly has a gift and a depth of knowledge that have had a profound impact in my life and I am sure in many others. I absolutely encourage every woman I know to seek out Amy Gordon! read more

Its been the upmost pleasure for me to watch Mama Lounge take its roots in San Francisco and continue to grow and expand. The moment you step into Mama Lounge you feel the calm, safe, and spacious environment that its provides... it truly is a Mama's Lounge! The incredible team of women working at Mama Lounge are everything you can ask for in a healer. Their deep love and passion for supporting and guiding women back to feeling their best is felt with each visit, whether you are coming in for fertility, support throughout your pregnancy, or postpartum. What is so incredible about each session is that you are TRULY listened to, a trait that is so rarely seen in a doctors office from my experience. Along with their incredible intuitive wisdom you always leave feeling so good and empowered after each treatment. Alongside the amazing acupuncture treatments, I highly recommend getting a yummy massage from Lisa who is both gentle yet uses the perfect amount of pressure to work out any kinks or knots in your body. I feel so confident in recommending the women in my life to Mama Lounge as I know they are taken care of by the best team of women. read more

Amy's new location is so beautiful! Well-lid, friendly, nicely decorated, and convenient to get to. I was almost bummed I didn't have to wait for my appointment, because her lounge looks so comfortable and inviting to just hang out and relax. I came here through recommendation for my first Accupuncture ever, after several friends encouraged me to finally try it out. I didn't know what to expect but I tried to have an open mind and ignore all the critical voices. After my first visit I was so happy I did try it, and amazed on how incredibly relaxed you can feel while having needles stuck in your body ;) It's a really cool feeling! But more amazing: on visit number 2 I had walked in with pain in my lower back (part of the reason I had come here in the first place) and left about an hour later without pain. From then on that pain has drastically improved and never came back the way it was before. And this is two months later now. It was an all around wonderful experience to get treated by Amy. She is so warm, thoughtful and attentive at all times, and was happy to answer all my questions that I had about Accupuncture. She took a lot of time listening to how I'm feeling every single visit. I also was impressed by how she gradually warmed me up with the needles, starting only on my back in the first session and slowly graduating to "weirder" body parts over time - never without asking if I would feel comfortable having a needle stuck between my toes, etc :) Oh and one time she used the suction cups too and I thought that must be the weirdest thing ever, but it felt pretty awesome actually and totally cleared up my chest congestion I had at the time! I highly recommend Mama Lounge to everyone, and Amy in particular if 1. You're a newbie to acupuncture, like me, because she will make sure to have you be hundred percent comfortable and answer all questions 2. You have any sort of back pain, and don't believe that that can change any time soon. Because that was me two months ago, and here I am now, raving about how Acupuncture actually can change that....:) Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more
