Granted I only have had one appointment, Jonathan and Grace have been fantastic. I originally called them to help with some pheripheral neuropathy in my hands and feet from a side effect of chemotherapy. The appointment was during the pandemic and they were safe and I felt safe. They explained everything very well and after the appointment I felt relaxed and healthier! I wasn't able to go to my next appointment due to some other side effects from my cancer treatment and then had surgery soon after. I am looking forward to returning once I am a little more healed from surgery. read more

Another 5 Star review for Grace and Jonathan. That this account is unclaimed, doesn't surprise me. They are humble and don't need Yelps, would never ask, but I want to join the chorus of grateful patients who appreciate their skill and dedication. My husband and I see Grace and Jonathan every-other-week for about 5 years. I started acupuncture to manage my menopause symptoms, drug-free. My husband started acupuncture to assist with healing, post surgery. Now, they assist him with sleep deprivation as well. Prior to working with Grace and Jonathan we experienced acupuncture from doctors in SF and Walnut Creek, both distinguished authors of books on TCM. We receive better care with Grace and Jonathan. Their approach to Traditional Chinese Medicine is clean and modest. They help our bodies to heal themselves. It works for us! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan and Grace at New Life Acupuncture. I've been going to them for the last 4 years for various events: before and after a c-section, after a major ankle injury and before and after a hysterectomy. I strongly believe that because of the work they've done with me, I've been able to have really strong, quick recoveries to each of these events. I think these two are the real deal when it comes to acupuncture. They just get down to business. They both have such a gentle, kind, wise bedside manner. And they work together to create the best treatment for each session. They truly care. I've worked with tons of practitioners and healers in my life and i consider these 2 to be top caliber. I highly recommend using them if your looking to treat any specific ailment and if you just want general healing in your overall life. They know what they're doing and they'll do everything possible to help you feel wonderful. read more

Grace is simply the best. I look forward to each appointment with her. She is nurturing, compassionate and professional. I have been seeing her for the past 4 years-- during pregnancy and post-partum. I can't recommend her enough. She and Jonathan are an amazing team and are truly devoted practitioners. read more

Grace and Jonathan are great! They not only do cupping, acupuncture and manual therapy, they keep you in check that you're keeping your body healthy as well. I've been going to them for a year about every month, and I'll keep going as I'm in a sport that keeps the injuries coming! Even without the injuries I love going in to keep my body at its optimum and get the best nap I can get =). read more

Jonathan and Grace are full of healing wisdom and knowledge and kindness. I went regularly with both of my pregnancies and for any ailments and I always feel much better as a result! read more

If you are in need of some TCM or acupuncture service, do yourself a favor and give Sandra Lee a call immediately. I have been seeing Sandra for well over a year. She is simply fantastic! I came to Sandra having been to two other acupuncturists. I was having issues getting appointments with each of the other two acupuncturists and I realized that I had her card (a referral from someone else). From day one, Sandra Lee was head and shoulders above the other two acupuncturists. I can't believe I wasted so much money on the other two! She is professional, knowledgable, communicative, caring, thorough, uses excellent technique, and has a great bedside manner. I truly believe she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her patients. She spent 1 1/2 hours with me during my first appointment. She literally interrogated me about my situation, leaving no stone unturned. She asked me about my family history, symptoms going back months and months. I have short term memory and a couple of times she called me out, "but, you said x and what you're saying now doesn't correspond" -- oops! Shows how thorough she is right? Back in the day I had nonexistent or very very long cycle periods. We're talking 50+ days or not at all, due to hormonal imbalance and low estrogen. I spent many months getting acupuncture on a weekly basis and taking the herbal supplements she custom mixed for me. Now, guess what? My cycle is pretty consistently at 30-34 days. I completely give Sandra all the credit. She has a fantastic memory and always remembers what was going on with me the last time, or even months ago.... she actually remembers more than I myself do!! She's a great ally. The treatment itself is actually very relaxing. If you are scared of needles, not to worry. I wouldn't be surprised if Sandra had some kind of special concoction or methodology to eliminate that fear! The needles themselves are about the size of a hair follicle and you can barely feel them going in -- well, except for the ones that she inserts in fingers, there just ain't much meat & fat there!! Sandra also has a very soothing voice and demeanor that makes you feel like you are at the spa about to get a soothing massage. Then, you go to sleep for 1/2 hour or so listening to relaxing music. AND, guess what? It works!! I am a convert and I will continue to go to Sandra whenever I have health issues going forward. read more

Earlier this year, I knew I needed to do something about my health. Working in a hospital, I knew if I didn't take care of these health issues now in my 30s, I could seriously run into major problems later on that I may not be able to bounce back from. I had heard about my father's experiences with acupuncture a few years back, but I didn't know about any one presently going to sessions. When I met Grace, I was actively going through major respiratory problems. My asthma attacks were getting worse, even hitting me when I was just walking up a little hill. I suspected I had sleep apnea. I had just totaled my car from passing out. My menstrual cycles were all out of whack. I was a mess. But over the course of these past few months, I feel that although I haven't done a complete 180degree turn, I am well on my way to being the healthiest I can be. Her first sessions focused on opening up my lungs, making my breathing much better. Once that got a little better, now it went to tackling balancing my hormones. All of it resulted in me now using my steroid inhaler sparingly, my menstrual cycle regular without the use of any hormone medications, and with what I suspect is the result of hormone balance, less inflammation in my body and even some weight loss (with the help of more energy to be more active and eating well!). Grace encourages you to pair up these sessions with regular medical care and good nutrition. It's crazy how she can tell you just ate something spicy (which I'm not supposed to!) just by looking at your tongue. I feel great, and I look forward to more sessions with Grace. Thank you! read more

Amazing Grace. I have been going to Grace for post pregnancy aches and pains- most specifically my back. I was stuck in a low energy rut and she is helping me come out of it. Not sure what it is about acupuncture but each session is a like a wave of fresh air. My back feels much better and my energy level is higher. Grace has been doing a mix of needles, cupping and acupressure. Like Margaret mentioned in her review, Grace can tell how I am feeling by looking at my tongue- she was spot on when asking if I was waking up hot at night! Give it a try. read more

I am an avid tennis player and have suffered multiple knee injuries over the years. In addition, I have circulation issues due from clots. After yet another tennis knee injury, (left) I discovered the acupuncture services of Jonathan and Grace in Lafayette. I am happy to report in just a few sessions of strategic acupuncture placement; my knee pain has fully subsided allowing me to quickly get back on the courts at full speed. Their interest and attention to my circulation issues have also led to reduced leg swelling with decreases in my circulation medication (MD Rx). Bottom line, Jonathan and Grace are attentive listeners and terrific holistic healers. I recommend you give them a try. read more

I have been very impressed with my visits at New Life Acupuncture. It is helpful to be treated by a team that truly listens and works together to address complaints. Each visit, I am impressed with their level of knowledge, compassion and professionalism. I highly recommend New Life Acupuncture! read more

I had been having knee issues for about a month before going into the doctor as Kaiser. After a few X-rays, the doctor said I had fluid in my knee and that I had two options: rest and hope for the best, or surgery. My coach then recommended that I go to acupuncture since it helped him with his same meniscus injury. Jonathan at New Life was able to get me in the same day, and after four sessions with Grace, I have full range of motion, am able to squat without pain, and am able to do my normal workouts as prescribed without scaling. Grace and Jonathan were beyond helpful and never tried to up-sell me. They told me what I needed to do to get back to Crossfit, and didn't try to book appointment after appointment just to drive profits. Grace was attentive and professional and did more for my meniscus in four weeks than I've been able to accomplish with RICE in two months. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking to bounce back from an injury who wants to get in quickly and not wait weeks for an appointment. read more

6 months ago I had a painful stuck neck. I tried everything - medicine, physical therapy, etc. Nothing worked until I went to New Life Acupuncture. They were able to help me get my range of motion back and I have little to no pain now. They are also very punctual and professional. I'm so happy I found them! read more

I came to Sandra to help me through IVF treatments. I had ovarian cysts and I hoped to keep them from getting larger as I went through the stimulation phase. Of course, I also hoped to become pregnant without too many negative side effects of all the hormones and emotions. Sandra really came through for me on multiple levels. I was so grateful during out first meeting that she gave me a whole specific plan, explaining each piece so I understood the necessity. It was a pretty intense dietary change, but I stuck to it and felt amazingly balanced. I even lost weight despite the hormonal therapy I was on. (Added, unexpected bonus:) I became pregnant with twins :) She helped me through the challenging first trimester and kept encouraging me not to feel guilty about being too tired to keep up with the usual workload. Sandra was so supportive throughout the whole challenging 4 months. What I appreciate most about Sandra is her clear approach and non-judgmental, totally accepting attitude. I also was suffering headaches from a disc herniation in my neck when I first came to her. As a result of some stretching, breathing and movement changes she taught me, I have been pain free ever since! Last but not least, she treated me a couple of months ago for a nasty chest cold I had which was moving towards infection. One treatment got everything moving and I cleared up twice as fast as my husband who went the route of antibiotics, even though I am pregnant with twins and have a history of asthma. I can't express my gratitude for Sandra and her work enough. She is creative, thorough, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend her to anyone desiring acupuncture treatment. read more

I searched far and wide for acupuncturists in the area and am so thrilled to have found this gem. They are professional and have been so helpful in addressing my main concerns around stress and my lower back issues. They are so good my mom and sister are going to start coming too! Highly recommend- they are the best! read more

Amazing Grace! I see Grace and the treatments really help my injury. The office is clean and the ambiance lovely! I feel like I am at a spa when I go to see I go to New Life. read more

I had a serious leg injury this past March which resulted in requiring surgery, intensive recovery and limited weight bearing for 12 weeks. I truly feel like I owe a lot to Grace and Jonathan in my speedy recovery and pain management. My significant other recommended that I try acupuncture, as she was doing it herself for her recent shoulder surgery. I was a pessimist, after having gone to an acupuncturist 8 years ago with negative experiences. I walked away from that experience with unusual tingling in my foot that lasted for a month due to an improperly placed needle. After visiting Grace and Jonathan, I really came to discover that there are more than one type of acupuncturist. Those that are "body readers" like Grace that find the pain centers and strategically place acupuncture needles and administer therapeutic massage to alleviate pain, and those who place needles in random places - you can probably guess which one I believe works and which doesn't. Overall, Grace and Jonathan made dealing with this traumatic experience much more manageable, and I give them my strong recommendation. read more

I am so thankful that I found Sandra. Going to her for acupuncture is such a wonderful experience. She is a professional and caring person and really listens to you. I was having a lot of trouble with irregular cycles and after only one month of going to Sandra for acupuncture, things have greatly improved. I also really appreciate the peaceful environment of her offices. It really does feel like you are at a spa. On top of acupuncture, Sandra also offers advice on lifestyle changes and diet changes that can be made to help with any symptoms you might be having. She is extremely thorough. I highly recommend checking out New Life Acupuncture. read more

Maura Richards Moraga, CA 5 star rating 12/16/2009 If you are in need of an expert in acupuncture, do yourself a huge favor and make an appt. with Sandra Lee immediately. I have been seeing Sandra for well two years. She is amazing and came recommended from a friend. Since going to her all of my symptoms dealing with thyroid and hormonal issues are gone and I finally feel back to my old self. I am so happy and healthy. From day one, Sandra Lee was head and shoulders above the other acupuncturists. She is professional, knowledgable, communicative, caring, thorough, uses excellent techniques, and has a great bedside manner. I truly believe she genuinely cares about the well being of her patients. She spent 1 1/2 hours with me during my first appointment. She literally interviered me about my situation, leaving no stone unturned. She asked me about my family history, symptoms going back months and months.

AND, guess what? It works! I am a believer and I will continue to go to Sandra to maintain my overall health on a monthly basis. Thank you, Maura Richards read more

I love these guys, very friendly, very intuitive. They have helped me and several friends and family members.

I have never written a Yelp review until now because most providers are middle of the road. Jonathan and a Grace are OUTSTANDING in every way. They truly care and have given me the best service (combo of cupping, massage and acupunture) for over a year. I am astounded by how good I feel after a treatment. Kind, miracle workers! read more

Absolutely the best acupuncture in town. Professional with excellent bedside manner and gentle approach. Helped me with sports related injury. read more

I started seeing Sandra for infertility in March. She was very thorough and gave me a diagnosis and recommendations to get my body and mind back in shape. Every time I saw her she would review everything and modify her acupuncture points as needed. She also did ear and hand acupuncture which I had never had before. After seeing her for 6 mos, I got pregnant naturally and I believe her treatment and recommendations helped my egg quality. read more

I have never written a Yelp review, but I felt that I needed to write one for New Life Acupuncture. I started using Jonathan and Grace last minute during the middle of my IVF process. I was completely new to acupuncture, and they gladly fit me into their schedule when other acupuncture clinics turned me away. They even came into the office on a day they weren't working to treat me for my embryo transfer. They treated me not only through my IVF, but during my whole pregnancy. Jonathan and Grace are the most patient, gentle, and kind people I know. I always receive a warm welcome whenever I visit them. I don't know how much their treatment helped, but I had a healthy pregnancy, delivery, and now have a healthy baby boy! I look forward to when that I can go back Jonathan and Grace when I have the time again! read more

I have had chronic neck pain for years. After receiving several sessions of cupping, massage and acupuncture, I have almost no neck pain anymore. Grace and Jonathan listen attentively and provide excellent care. read more

This is like no other medical treatment I have ever experienced before. Grace and Jonathan deliver an incredibly effective pain management treatment program. Not only has it been extremely effective in reducing the amount of arthritic pain in my body, but also the total experience is very relaxing and leaves me feeling rejuvenated and very thankful bordering on the emotional at the end of each session. I definitely give them a 5+++ rating and would recommend them to anyone who has chronic pain that western medicine hasn't been able to remediate or would like to avoid various western medications and their associated side effects as I was trying to do. I was quite skeptical about the idea of seeing an acupunturist at first, but my pain was such that I was willing to try anything to alleviate it. Success didn't come overnight, but it did come. I began to notice a difference after about 4-6 treatments and have seen them for a total of 25 sessions so far. If 100% is normal, then I was at 30% of normal when I began the sessions and they have helped me achieve 85-90% of normalcy. Needless to say, I wouldn't continue the program if wasn't effective. My issue is arthritis, which is impacting most of my body. It's a side effect from a medication I have to take and so I will be continuing my acupuncture sessions for the foreseeable future. For those of you who are interested, my treatment consists of acupuncture, which includes about 20 minutes of rest on a massage table once the needles have been placed accompanied by some very soothing music, then the needles are removed. This is followed by cupping and finally a massage. I'm also taking a mix of herbs twice a day that they mixed for me which are designed to help me with my underlying issues. According to Grace and Jonathan, depending on your issues your treatment may differ. The whole process end to end can take up to an hour and half. read more

Grace and Jonathan are true healers! I have recommended them to all my family and friends. As a professional dancer, I struggle with tendonitis and angry muscles, but Grace always has me feeling amazing before a show! And what's even more wonderful is that they truly care and want you to feel your best. I know whatever my issue, they can help. read more

The physical benefits I received from acupuncture I may have gotten elsewhere, but the overall calming and blissful experience I received with New Life Acupuncture is what made my recovery so profound. Jonathan and Grace's pleasant and caring dispositions made me feel so welcome and so relieved of stress and other burdens when I entered their office. They are funny and kind, and their commitment to my health motivated me to commit to the lifestyle changes they suggested (including giving up my favorite things such as coffee and spicy food) and the results were unbelievable. I was freed of my daily headaches and gained such a strong and positive mindset. The headaches only returned after I moved away and had to say goodbye to Grace and Jonathan. I need to look for a new acupuncturist but doubt Ill find one as good as Grace and Jonathan at New Life. Not only are they experienced in acupuncture, but the acupuncture experience they offer is incomparable to any other. I've been to one other acupuncturist before and she did not provide the results or the friendship that I received at New Life. Thanks for all you taught me Grace and Jonathan! read more
