Dr. Mariel is incredible. She is so kind, patient, and really takes the time to listen and understand what you're dealing with. She has helped me tremendously with upper back and neck tightness from stress and with De Quervain's in my wrist. Her care is thoughtful and you can tell she genuinely wants to help her patients feel better. I highly recommend her! Her office is very relaxing and sets me up for the rest of the day! read more

I called multiple times and also emailed to ask if they accept new patients. They never replied (already been more than two weeks since I contacted them) and I consider this rude. It is totally fine to say no to me, but I can't tolerate the attitude of being arrogant. read more

I've been to over 10 acupuncturists, including Chinese born and trained experts, over the years in Texas, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. No one comes close to Mariel in their ability to deliver transformative therapeutic relief. She has one of a kind skill in re-energizing and recalibrating the body. Additionally she is highly professional, on top of her game .... and a true delight. She is a kind and beautiful soul. Without hesitation she will go out of her way to accommodate your specific needs - and will remember your requests, addressing them in the future, before you even have to ask. 5 stars aren't enough - I'd give her 10! read more

It's hard to put into words how I feel during and after my acupuncture sessions with Mariel.... My lifestyle has improved for the better since I have incorporated acupuncture into my wellness routine. Mariel is always open to listening and truly present to what is going on with my body which makes the experience relaxing and very fulfilling. I highly recommend Mariel as a true devoted professional. read more

Mariel is a true healer. She is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I've found that with her consistent treatment, I am feeling healthier and calmer, and have less pain. I've had acupuncture before and found it to be a painful experience. Not with Mariel. Instead, it's a relaxing and healing experience from start to finish. Clearly, she has found her calling and I have found my acupuncturist. read more

My experience with Mariel has been amazing. When I contacted her because of an urgent issue we found an appointment immediately. Her communication is clear and direct and her office atmosphere suits the occasion - dimm, warm, quiet. When I arrived, Mariel was very professional and knowledgeable, able to explain everything she was doing in a way I could understand easily. There were no surpises, I was properly prepared for my treatment (first timer) and was positively surpised by the outcome - my issue seemed to better after only one session and improved even more after further visits. I can only recommend seeing Mariel for acupuncture to anybody I know or asks for it. I have already recommended her to several friends and family. read more

Mariel is very good at what she does. Her vibe is pitch perfect for the treatment that she provides. I have anxiety problems which can be debilitating. She is attentive, present, and above all kind. I've been seeing her since January and it is an absolute highlight of my week to go and get treated by Mariel. Can't recommend her enough! read more

5 stars! Mariel is the best. She is warm, kind, and makes you feel comfortable getting acupuncture. Nice clean treatment rooms. Great communication and listening. Very experienced. Most importantly, she gets results! read more

5 stars aren't enough for Mariel. She is professional, knowledgeable, empathetic, trustworthy, kind, considerate, and very gentle. Her office is welcoming and she's always very accommodating. After each session I feel incredibly relaxed, very happy and always look forward to my next appointment. Mariel's been my acupuncturist for 6 months and I could not recommend her more. read more

Mariel is wonderful! I've had both acupuncture and cupping and I always feel so great when I leave. Mariel takes the time to listen to my needs for each treatment and I can't recommend her enough! read more

Dr Gallet (you can call her Mariel) is the best! I've always been a bit cynical about alternative medicines and things that fall into the "woo woo" spectrum, but everything she has treated me for has gotten better as a result. I saw her pre-wrist surgery for a torn tendon, and also got treatment for ITBS and in both instances the pain relief was immediate and lasted for DAYS after the first treatment! Mariel is warm, kind, caring, and professional and fun to visit even she does turn you into a human pincushion for an hour or so. Highly recommend! read more

I wish I could give Mariel 10 stars! I was lucky enough to find her through my old Acupuncturist and was amazed by the results I felt after one session! She's knowledgeable, flexible, and just has an overall great energy. Also she has hours that are accommodating for working individuals which is hard to find. I couldn't recommend her enough. Definitely book you session, you won't regret it! read more

Mariel is very good at acupuncture, she's very professional and pleasant. Her office is inviting, peaceful. I walk out of her office and feel very good. Her prices are very reasonable too. read more

I can't express enough how thankful I am that I found Mariel, she's a rockstar! Everything about her and her practice is welcoming, calming and professional. She will always give you her full attention and never rush a session. She genuinely takes the time to understand YOUR needs and struggles. I know she sees a lot of patients but yet, every time I walk in I feel special, she knows me and she knows my needs. After each visit I feel relaxed and empowered to take on whatever is next on my list. Highly recommend anyone looking for acupuncturist to book a session! read more

Mariel has been a lifesaver for me. I had doubts about whether or not acupuncture could really help my anxiety. I was so scared at my first visit of all the needles! I have been amazed at the results. Mariel takes the time to talk and listen to me at each appointment. I feel like she really hears how I am doing and takes it in to account. My anxiety is significantly improved. As I struggle with fertility I got bad news from my doctor. Mariel listened and supported me as I told her my news. She gently suggested resources, supplements and dietary changes I can incorporate. She reached out to colleagues and send me further information through text. I highly recommend seeing Mariel. She provides only provided excellent care, but is supportive in so many other ways read more

I am SO grateful I found Mariel in my healing journey. I had never done acupuncture before and Mariel made me feel so at ease and has such a wonderful warm and peaceful energy about her. She is very proficient and has a deep knowledge of the body and creating an optimal environment and experience for healing. My nerve pain from a back injury has improved in ways I never imagined it could over the last few months and my overall stress levels as well as an added bonus! HIGHLY recommend acupuncture sessions with Mariel. read more

Being pregnant during this pandemic, I have been selective with the practitioners I have been seeing. Her office is extremely clean and she is upholding all sanitizing standards. On top of the fact that she provides excellent care and got rid of my edema in one treatment, I feel very safe seeing her regularly. read more

I have been seeing Mariel for almost a year and I LOVE her! She's the first acupuncturist I had ever seen and her treatment has been great for relieving my neck and back pain and reducing stress. Mariel has a wonderful bedside manner and really listens to your concerns before offering suggestions for treatment. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a acupuncturist. read more

MARIEL is amazing. On my first visit she made me feel comfortable. She took the time to hear my needs and understand what was going on with my entire body not just one specific need. I am so lucky to have found her. She is very knowledgeable about what she does. After each visit I always feel better. read more

Mariel Gallet is amazing, and I highly recommend her! She listens carefully, is thoughtful in her approach, and is incredibly professional and kind. Her treatments are so calming that there are times during the acupuncture session where I have been able to zen out so completely that I think I have drifted off to sleep. I have seen a lot of improvement in my health since I've been going to her, and acupuncture has really helped lower my stress level. Honestly, five stars aren't enough to rate Mariel. I've been to both her La Jolla and Encinitas offices and they are both great. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Mariel for almost 3 years. Whether it is for pain, women's health, or balance, I always feel so much better after her treatments. She has such great energy and is an amazing practitioner. I highly recommend going to see her for anything! read more

Mariel is professional, kind, and courteous. Within one treatment on my knee, chronic pain that persisted for years subsided. She has a great intuition for what the body needs, I couldn't believe how well the treatment worked. I only wish I discovered Acupuncture sooner to help with the years of pain my knee has endured! Thanks so much Mariel! read more

Mariel is pure magic! Our session began with her warmth and care emanating as we navigated what my needs would be for our time together. She provided me with a friendly and conversational education in acupuncture and health prior to beginning with the needles. This would be a good time to mention - I'm terrified of needles - but Mariel's gentle guidance dissipated that fear almost immediately. She tended to my body temperature and soul, making sure I felt good all the way through. Not only did I feel good, but I felt a powerful shift in my energy and the healing was palpable. She advised me on after-care options and I felt I had some solid takeaways. I'm really looking forward to seeing her again. I highly recommend this wonderful woman! read more

So good! Mariel really has the touch. She is intuitive, knowledgable, very kind, and knows her stuff. I leave feeling relief every session. She uses more needles then I've normally received and it really gets your chi flowing read more

I recommend Mariel! She is amazing!! I take my girls who are 13 and 10 and they love her as well she is patient, caring and very knowledgeable. They beg me to see her all the time, we are always feel amazing after her treatments! read more

Mariel is absolutely amazing! The space she creates is filled with such healing energy. Walking into her presence alone is the beginning of a relaxing and attentive session that caters to my needs for that week. As a nurse, I am incredibly grateful for her knowledge and skills! She has helped me tremendously with post surf aches and pains, TMJ and balancing my emotional well-being. I would recommend reaching out to her and setting up a session that fits your own needs, weather it is emotional well being or physical healing she truly understands a holistic approach in allowing space for your body to heal. read more

It's clear that Mariel is driven by a passion to help patients. She has a very warm and inviting presence about her. Prior to my injections (not sure this is the right terminology), she administered a thorough assessment that was focused around all aspects of health and wellness vs. simply treating my symptoms. I had never had acupuncture before but glad it was here! Mariel explained every step of the process and that really helped alleviate my anxiety. I requested help primarily because of my knee pain from a running injury. The service I received was for an hour which meant that after the initial injection you stay relaxed on the bed. The lighting and temperature were comfortable and created a great environment. Her space was clean and peaceful. I will definitely go back! read more

Self-care is a new thing I've integrated into my lifestyle and Mariel is the first acupuncturist I've seen regularly in my life. I actually can't imagine my life before meeting her! She is an incredible listener and can attentively address a wide variety of health issues--from mental health concerns to injuries. Her serene and transformative practice constantly improves my quality of life. Clearly, she is passionate about her clients and works to be as flexible and supportive as possible. I am so incredibly thankful for her! read more

Mariel is an amazing practitioner. She was a very good listener and helped me with a chronic issue where I have found no relief. I am impressed and thankful. Totally recommend. read more

I came to Mariel for acupuncture about 2yrs ago. I am a cancer survivor and the radiation therapy I received left me with severe nerve damage. The pain became unbearable and was affecting every aspect of my life. My doctors just kept prescribing stronger medication and I was fearful to go down that route. Mariel was very thorough and professional. She walked me through the whole process and made me feel at ease. I felt some relief right after the first visit. Now I am at a point where the pain is almost non existent. I continue to see Mariel to maintain this new wonderful sense of being. I am forever grateful to Mariel for helping me heal naturally and giving me my life back. She is amazing. She puts her heart into all she does. read more

I was recommended to try acupuncture with Mariel by my chiropractor and I'm very glad I did. The atmosphere is soothing and relaxing and on my first visit she carefully explained the process, showed me the needles, and set me at ease. The process has helped me with many different conditions, digestive issues, cramps, headaches, and sore neck. She also has essential oils, a heat lamp, and restful music to add to the experience. I usually fall asleep on the bed. Sending my husband next week for treatment. Give this therapy a try with a great acupuncturist! read more

My experience as a patient of Mariel's has been phenomenal. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also has a lovely personality that makes the entire process enjoyable and something to look forward to. I have chronic pain and my sister encouraged me to try acupuncture and recommended I see Mariel. I didn't know what to expect and truthfully, I felt a bit apprehensive because I don't love needles. Mariel put my mind at ease and made sure I was comfortable at all times. She explained the process and benefits to me so I felt more educated and prepared to try something new for my wellness and health. I've been seeing her for several months now for acupuncture and cupping every two weeks. I have experienced a notable difference in my level of pain and pain management. I highly recommended Mariel's services to anyone who is interested in trying acupuncture! read more

Not only does Dr. Mariel have the touch of an angel, she's incredibly knowledgeable in her field. I sought treatment after a pretty nasty fall that left me super stiff and sore. I was in so much pain that I was taking NSAIDs, which I don't like to do. So I was tremendously pleased when after just one treatment with Dr. Mariel, the pain subsided enough where NSAISs were no longer needed. She walked me through the whole process making me feel totally comfortable. She has such a tenderness about her and her compassion for her patients shines. read more

I've been seeing Mariel 1-2 times a month for over a year now. I had seen a couple other acupuncturists before her, but felt ambivalent about the experiences. From the start, I've had a great experience with Mariel. Not only is she very professional and knowledgeable, but she's easy to talk to. She has helped me improve a lot of symptoms and I'm lucky to have found her! read more

I always look forward to seeing her! read more
