The treatment itself was gentle and relaxing, and more importantly, I've already seen significant reduction in my symptoms after only a handful of sessions. Amy is a gifted professional, and also a gem of a person! I highly recommend her practice!

The past few days since my recent treatment, the tightness in my back is better and I'm looking forward to my next treatment. Hui Mei is raising two young boys, one, now at UCSC, and one still in high school. How she does it, while working so hard at her practice, is with the support of her loving husband. In addition to being a hard worker, she's a very enchanting and interesting person to get to know. I'm sure that after your first visit you'll walk away feeling you just made a new friend!

Six months after contracting Bells Palsy, I had my first acupuncture treatment with Nancy. The…read moreright side of my face literally looked like I had a major stroke. By the way, I'm 75 years old and was depressed thinking I'd never look the same again. I started having twice a week treatments. Midway, I could see and feel the difference in my face. The slumping of my skin and the paralysis of my facial muscles and mouth started to ease. I started eating, drinking and speaking better. After my 15th treatment, my confidence had returned and my face was close to being symmetrical again. Today, a year after my last treatment, my face looks normal and I can smile again! I'm forever grateful for Dr. Lowe's expertise and calming manner. I highly recommend Dr. Lowe.

Let me tell you that Dr. Rozenn is extraordinary in her abilities and her commitment to your health and restoring your full body to optimal function! I went to her for some chronic pain issues and some nagging dermatitis. Itchy, annoying patches that showed up off and on. I was inspired to go because she assisted in the pregnancy of my daughter and I now have a beautiful granddaughter, so I already knew Dr Rozenn was a healer. Short story is this: the dermatitis is gone and much of the joint pain I suffered has abated. Additionally I have a integrated feeling in my body which is hard to describe in western terms but makes my daily exercise; hiking, aerobics and weights a breeze and I am long past 50! Plus she is caring and wise. If you aren't sure, just try it once! You will be so glad you did!

I was looking for additional ways to treat and manage my heart disease, which was about to take a turn for the worse. In April 2020, I had a third heart attack in my 21-year heart disease history. By June of 2021, I had my worse heart symptoms under control by leaning more heavily on allopathic medicine and increasing the level and kind of medications I was taking. At the same time, I was exploring my overall wellness through Santa Cruz Functional Medicine and Trilogy Medical Homeopathy. I was learning a lot about the subtleties of staying healthy. Seeing Dr Rozenn has been a game changer in treating my arrhythmia, as well as related symptoms not addressed by traditional medicine. Sleeplessness, frequent night and day urination, night sweats and a general lack of vitality in my day-to-day life all had a large effect on my physical and mental health. As of April 2023, my vitality has returned stronger than before, my arrhythmia is still present, and it is being easily mitigated by both traditional medication and weekly visits with Dr Rozenn and specific Chinese herbs that she prescribes and changes as my treatments have unfolded. Dr Rozenn is kind and compassionate and takes the time to really listen to my concerns. She explains everything to me in detail, and I feel like I am in good hands. I'm so grateful to Dr Rozenn for her help, and I highly recommend her to you if you are seeking holistic answers to complex health and well-being issues. - FireHawk H

I've had wonderful, life-changing visits with the staff at Five Branches. Following intestinal…read moresurgery for cancer in 2012, I started going initially for grief. The treatments were incredibly healing for my soul, and of course the soul and body are connected :) So, the interns started focusing on helping me with digestion and pain. By choice, I've had only interns, with the supervision of licensed practitioners working with me. A supervisor and a licensed practitioner, Maria Mitchell (a GENIUS!) has been especially helpful. These sessions are $27 and last more than an hour. Try getting that at a traditional doctor's office! The sessions are very thorough...lots of questions to find out how I'm doing and about my body's good and bad indicators. To be left in the room with needles in place, quiet and in the dark as is my preference, is transformational. Three years out, I feel so much better about my body's ability and capacity to heal, all with the guidance of these wise young interns and their supervisors. My weekly visit is such a wonderful treat to myself. I consider it part of my regimen, just as I exercise and eat right, to keep my body healthy. The front desk staff is helpful and friendly, the interns are knowledgeable and intuitive, and the entire experience is positive. I highly recommend Five Branches!

Went here a few months back for leg pain, and while they didn't fix the leg pain, they did cause…read moreother pain that has persisted for months and I will be seeing a more skilled acupuncturist to reverse the damage they did. The muscles in my legs were really tight so that may have been why my body reacted so badly but they didn't seem to know that might be an issue or ask me about anything. Both times they left needles in me that I had to pick out afterwards, and they scheduled the second appointment a few days after the first instead of letting my body adjust which may have contributed to it. I have been depressed about it and felt like there eas no point saying anything for months, but I'm feeling more determined about things now so I am speaking up about the horrible experience I had so others might not have that experience. It's quite likely you will get a different and more skilled acupuncturist if you go here, but I'm just warning you that there is a chance you will end up having a bad experience like I did here.

I had seen numerous practitioners over the prior 4 years to some relief but Loki was able to address the pain in a systematic root function approach and got me to a place where I have not had issues in that area since. I've had other issues come up with low back/hip/piriformus pain and limited mobility due to injury and he has helped relieve my pain levels and address on-going anxiety and depression. He is great at listening to determine root causes of pain and providing accurate medical documentation to medical coding so it translates to the western medical system. Additionally his migraine treatment that he offers has helped ward those off. I've seen many acupuncturist over the years but none that are as holistic and effective as Loki. He genuinely is a wonderful, caring individual and you can tell his goal is to support his patients to achieve their health goals and live pain free.
