Woke up with a pinched nerve in my right shoulder and it was so painful. It was worse than recovering from surgery. I had to use my left hand to lift my right hand to the desk to type. Two days later, I went to Now Wellness with Sachi and had my second acupuncture experience ever. Some of the pins hurt going in, however the relief was almost instantaneous. The next morning, my should was brand new. I could lift it over my head, type, get in and out of my shirts and wash my hair with both hands easily. It was a miracle! I did four sessions with Sachi and she is a godsend. Acupuncture appointments are soothing, provide red light therapy and allows your mind to settle. Highly recommend and recovery was so fast! read more

I cannot recommend acupuncture enough and especially Sachi. I was struggling with fertility issues and had my third miscarriage in a row. My husband and I were about to start IVF when I started seeing Sachi weekly. As soon as I went to Sachi we got pregnant with our triple rainbow baby and just gave birth to her last month. Sachi knows what she is doing and helped me through my entire pregnancy with weekly visits up until the third trimester. She is personable and constantly checked in on me. There were points where she was more invested and supportive than our own fertility doctors. I have reconvened her to a close family friend who also struggled with 5 failed IUI's and went to Sachi for their first transfer and it took. Cannot thank Sachi enough!! read more

Sachi is amazing and Now Wellness is the place to go for acupuncture. I have gone to many acupuncture clinics over the years, and I advocate for the treatment. However, many of them want upfront cash or they have very interesting treatment methods with no explanation. Sachi listens to your symptoms and asks you a series of questions to determine what treatment will be the best for you. She will also reduce your treatment plan if you do not need so many sessions. Most places tend to just increase treatment because they want more money. Not Sachi, she is honest and professional. Unfortunately, my fiancé and I have moved out of the area, but I do wish Sachi the best. I am so happy I got to have such a great provider and I think some of my problems are forever gone now. read more

After suffering through a month of ineffectual exercises and stretches prescribed by my doctor, I decided to try acupuncture to treat my sciatica. Thanks to Sachi, I experienced substantial relief starting with my very first visit. I loved the fact that she listened every visit and tailored her approach to address my specific needs (e.g. discomforts). I can't recommend Sachi enough. read more

Sachi's a unicorn. Having been in the corporate world herself, she knows the effects of stress and what it can do to the body. She is an incredibly empathetic care provider and genuinely cares about helping you heal. She supported me during a very stressful health season and I am so grateful for her expertise and care! read more

Sachi helped me work through a bout of unexplained inflammation that was causing a number of issues including hip and knee pain, frozen shoulder, vertigo, and brain fog. Several visits to my regular health providers ruled out "serious" medical issues but did nothing to resolve the pain. Reading that acupuncture can help with sciatica, which I, rightly or wrongly, self-diagnosed, I thought I would give acupuncture a try. About a week ago I completed a series of once a week acupuncture sessions with Sachi, and the results have been remarkable. I can say the "sciatica" is gone, joint swelling gone, no vertigo and my mind is much clearer. I am able to exercise regularly again, drive without pain, and I no longer take any Ibuprofen, which I had been maxing out on daily dosage. I can't tell you how or why, but what I can say is that over two months Sachi listened to me every single session about what was new, better, different or not improved compared to the prior week. She made adjustments to her treatment, answered my questions about what she was doing and why, and was very open to and provided feedback on my own ideas about ways to get better. I am very grateful and recommend her wholeheartedly. read more

Attentive and intuitive care - and my injured knee healed much faster than I anticipated, I feel due to Sachiko's treatments. Even after the first session, my knee had less pain and felt lighter. read more

Sachi is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and friendly. I always feel like she truly cares, and she makes it so easy to relax. I am Constantly impressed by her experience and the way she helped work around my schedule. We got great results throughout our fertility treatment process, and I fully believe that Sachi deserves much of the credit for that. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Now Wellness/Sachi. I went to Sachi for endometriosis symptoms and struggles with fertility in 2023. I did regular acupuncture sessions for 4-6 months. I would give her business 6 stars if I could. The office space is clean and a calm environment. Sachi was professional, knowledgeable and efficient with the acupuncture while also being warm and sympathetic to my condition. I always left my acupuncture sessions relaxed and with a clear mind. I believe it helped reduce my endometriosis symptoms and helped with my fertility challenges. At minimum, it provided mental and physical relaxation during our IVF process which was huge! read more

I broke my hip and had a surgery several years ago. Ever since, I live with a pain. My doctor recommended to try acupuncture, so I started seeing Sachi. To my great surprise, it has been working real well! Sachi listens to me carefully. And she is very gentle (I was a bit scared of acupuncture). In addition to my hip pain, I have been stressed out for a couple of years. I noticed I feel so good - relaxed and then energized after Sachi's treatment. Highly recommended. read more

When my acupuncturist retired a few years ago, I was concerned that I wouldn't find anyone I liked as well. After extensive research I made an appointment with Sachi, and after a couple of sessions, I felt I had hit the jackpot. I've seen her for various issues, not fertility-related, and also for the occasional "tune up". She's caring, thorough, and listens carefully to my symptoms/issues. She has worked wonders, and I'm so grateful. Her office and treatment rooms are pleasant and calm which makes for a very relaxed session. I highly recommend her! read more

I've been going to Sachi for a few sessions now to treat my chronic ankle injury. Acupuncture was not something that was top of my mind, but after a year of trying different things, I decided to go for it. So far, I've had 5-6 sessions (~50min each) and it's gotten slightly better (will update if things change). Needles could be a stressful thing for many but Sachi approaches it very delicately to minimize any discomfort. Great bedside manners in that she is empathetic to your pain and is always open to answering questions (which I have plenty). read more

I have started coming to seek help with chronic pain due to a severe knee injury and a related lack of mobility/range of motion. And while I am not at 100% yet, after three sessions, I can already kneel a lot more and with very little pain now. Additionally, she helped me get rid of acute lower back pain in a single session. She put me at ease from session 1 and is always immensely considerate. Never had I gone to see an acupuncturist before, but a friend recommended I give Sachi a shot. It was well worth it. Last comment: Sachi also provides traditional herbal Chinese medicine, which is a convenient bonus. read more

Highly recommend! Sachi is an exceptional Chinese Medicine practitioner. I first started seeing her after frustrations with western medical care's inability to solve chronic knee pain. With Sachi's holistic approach to healing my injuries, I saw vast improvements over just a couple weeks. After implementing her recommended lifestyle changes, I also started having the best periods of my life. She is so gentle with her acupuncture and really takes the time to understand your problems and lifestyle. I always receive the best care and advice from Sachi! read more

I started going to Sachi to treat Covid brain fog and insomnia and immediately had great results. The mental block started to lift, I was able to remember things again, and was able to sleep much better. The thing that really amazed me was my recent muscle spasm. It was 3 days of a ton of pain and neck immobility even with muscle relaxers, but after 1 session of acupuncture, I gained some mobility and pain relief. Woke up the next day with a lot more mobility and pain relief as well. I've had acupuncture before, but always found it uncomfortable / borderline painful. Sachi's technique is great and you can barely feel the pricks from the needles. Highly suggest Sachi for acupuncture needs. read more

I am incredibly grateful to have met Sachi. She has treated me for several years now, during early stages of fertility treatments and then my first successful embryo transfer and pregnancy. Sachi is patient, kind and well educated. Her approach is professional but very supportive; she cares about me as a person and how her acupuncture treatment can contribute to my overall health, goals and successful outcomes. Scheduling is easy, she is very responsive. I will absolutely continue to see Sachi! read more

Sachiko is not only kind and calm but also incredibly supportive. She's been there for me throughout my fertility journey. We've been working on a stress level, thyroid and reproductive functions. My husband and I could do the treatment at the same time. Scheduling with Sachi is easy, and her office has a comforting atmosphere. Highly recommended! read more

Throughout this journey of multiple miscarriages, I knew a different approach to my well-being was needed. My first session with Sachi was very educational. I learned how I can improve my diet and keep myself balanced; mentally and physically. Sachi has recommended great supplements that have had a huge improvement on my energy levels, and each session with her helps me be more in touch with my body. read more

I've been going to Sachi for over a year now for fertility issues. I am now 9 months pregnant and have continued to see her regularly throughout my pregnancy. She has helped me so much with symptom management (pain, nausea, acid reflux, carpal tunnel, fatigue). She is a wonderful practitioner and I can't recommend her enough! read more

I have been seeing Sachi for the last six weeks for shoulder pain related to years of working out. I definitely started feeling relief after my second visit and the pain continues to lessen each time I see her. What's really cool is that as we've gotten to know each other, she is now also helping me out with my random insomnia. I tend to wake up at 3 AM every morning and I do feel that her treatments are helping with that as well. I would definitely recommend Sachi and Now Wellness. read more

I called because I had an ongoing sinus issue and Sachi was able to fit me in to her busy schedule. She did a full consultation, plus cupping and acupuncture. I was very comfortable in her office and I even took a little nap on the table. I had sinus relief for a couple of days and will be going back soon. I highly recommend Sachi! read more

I love coming here, it's clean, comfortable and Sachi is the absolute best!! I would recommend to anyone looking to try acupuncture for the first, or millionth time! read more

I had tried many acupuncture centers and had met many acupuncturists in the Bay Area. However, I couldn't find one that met my needs. Luckily, I found Sachi; she is indeed the best acupuncturist I could ask for! I have to admit that I was very skeptical at the very beginning when I started seeing her due to my past experiences with many other acupuncturists. However, after seeing Sachi for over a year, my skepticism has been long gone! Sachi is a very professional acupuncturist. She is patient and focuses on making her patients healthier and feel better! And I feel better and very relaxed after each treatment! I can even fall asleep while doing acupuncture, which was impossible in the past! Sachi listens to her patients, and she cares about what her patients need and how her patients feel. She has been a great acupuncturist and a friend who has accompanied me through my pregnancy! I could write a long essay about my positive experience and my appreciation with Sachi. I highly recommend her to all of you who are looking for a great acupuncturist. read more

I've never had acupuncture before and, I have to admit, I had my apprehensions about it. Besides, I thought, since I eat healthy and stay active I probably don't need it, right? Not so much! Last year, I learned my irregular periods (it skipped 2 months and counting!) can be a major problem when planning a family. So I started looking into acupuncture and found Sachi on this site - thank you, Yelp! And wow, I'm so glad I did! Sachi is the kindest, most positive lady with a large breath of knowledge and amazingly powerful skills. She first asked about my situation then explained her treatments. Sochi is gentle and the entire process is painless and relaxing. And best of all - it shows real results! Within a few weeks of my weekly sessions, I got my period! I will definitely continuing with acupuncture and would highly recommend Sochi to everyone. read more

I have been seeing Sachi for acupuncture, treating a variety of needs over the past 7 years. Sachi is intuitive, compassionate, and a joy to work with! Her gentle approach makes receiving acupuncture a truly healing experience. Most recently, Sachi has been supporting my fertility journey and is now treating me throughout pregnancy. I have been able to keep many symptoms common in my first pregnancy at bay and when new symptoms pop up she's helped make things more manageable. I consistently recommend Sachi to friends and family and look forward to seeing her for years to come. Thank you Sachi, for all of your care! read more

I had never tried acupuncture before coming here. Sachi has been super amazing. It's not painful, and it's helped alot with cramping post fertility procedure and it just makes me feel super relaxed.. I usually fall asleep. It's also helped reduce the stiffness in my knee post-ACL surgery. Highly recommend her read more

If only I could give Sachi 10 stars! When I first met Sachi, I immediately felt at ease by her calm and nurturing presence. My weekly appointments with Sachi are something I have come to look forward to greatly.  It helps that Now Wellness is located in a beautiful building, and the treatment room is very peaceful! Many women going through infertility and pregnancy loss will tell you that acupuncturists are so much more than acupuncturists, and Sachi is no exception. She has held my hand while I cried on her table after an unsuccessful egg retrieval. She has also shared in our joy when I shared the news that we are finally pregnant! I don't doubt that my weekly appointments with Sachi have played a large part in helping us to become parents-- mentally and physically. I feel so lucky to have met Sachi, and know that she will be in my family's life for a very long time as part of our care team. Thank you so much for your care and kindness, Sachi! read more

It's hard to put into words how invaluable my weekly visits with Sachi are and a five star rating doesn't come close to reflecting the knowledge she shares with me, the professionalism she shows me and the care she gives me. I began seeing Sachi after I became pregnant and I know I would not have been able to handle my pregnancy symptoms without my weekly sessions with her, they helped elevate the severity as I was sick my entire pregnancy. Sachi was a game changer. Now being a new mom and a caregiver for my elderly parents while working full time leaves little time in my week but I create time to see Sachi because it's so incredibly beneficial to me. The physical and mental benefits I receive from each session are targeted and help me be a better parent and caregiver. She has become a trusted advisor and friend and under her care I'm physically, emotionally and mentally more centered, pain free and calm to meet all of the demands of my day to day. Sachi is a very dedicated practitioner who takes her work with her patients very seriously and I feel very lucky to have her be a part of my care team. read more

I went to Sachi after experiencing intense neck and back pain due to scoliosis. I had never tried acupuncture before, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it worked! My pain was significantly reduced after a few sessions. I highly recommend! read more

After trying multiple medications and seeing many doctors, I decided to try acupuncture. On my second visit my foot pain decreased by 50%! By my 6th visit I was already at 90% pain relief. I am so thankful for Sachi! Highly recommended! read more

I've had some knee pain and went to Now Wellness to see if that could help. Sachi has been amazing - she listens to my issues and made me feel at ease (even though it was my first experience with acupuncture, she made me feel very comfortable). I attribute my treatment with a lot of my recovery and will certainly be coming back again! read more

Sachi came highly recommended from a friend, and I came to see her with a variety of issues. I was suffering from irregular periods, I had insomnia, and also a hand injury. I love Sachi's gentle touch and powerful needling. No matter the range of issues that have come up during the past few months, her treatments have been able to resolve them all within a few sessions. Going to see her is now part of my weekly wellness plan, and on weeks when I can't go, I don't sleep or eat right. You won't regret seeing her! read more

Lifesaver! My neck pain was limiting my activities and draining my energy. I felt much better after my first session with Sachi and within a few sessions my pain had gone from 8 down to 0. I highly recommend her. Thank you Sachi! read more

Sachi has been so great! I had a shoulder injury that she treated and it helped a lot. She's very thorough and often addresses other areas that need attention. It's been great to have someone that can treat issues more naturally whereas my doctor just tells me to take some medication. I highly recommend Sachi! read more

I don't leave many reviews, but I have been coming to see Sachi for a number of years now, and she provides such a truly professional and calming experience. Sachi has been able to alleviate ailments which other western practitioners were unable to, so I could not thank her enough. If on the fence, I highly recommend giving her a shot. read more

What a health changing experience! I have been to 10 acupuncture practitioners before finding Sachiko. I am a former competitive athlete and current health and fitness enthusiast. I know when something isn't quite right in my body. Sachiko is very intuitive and gifted when it comes to listening to a patients symptoms and signs. Her approach to treatment shows her attention to detail, professionalism, knowledge and continued education. I am currently scheduling more treatments and I am excited to know that I finally found a practitioner who understands the Chi flow as well as the herb supplements that can maximize treatment. Sachiko has excellent technique in her treatment and I can say it was the most comfortable of all of the other practitioners I have seen in the past. i will be referring my family and friends to Sachiko with very high confidence. Eastern medicine has been around so long and it is 100% natural. If you are searching for a better health solution I Highly recommend that you give Sachiko a call. My advise to a new patient would be to be "patient" since most expect a miracle on the first visit. While results can happen quickly for some for most it may require multiple visits depending on your condition. Thank You Sachiko for my improved health and well being. You are truly gifted at what you do. G- read more

Wow! I have never had acupuncture before I went to Now Wellness and I plan on continuing until I am pain free! What a wonderful experience. Currently I suffer from back pain due to past fractures in my spine and neck that have required several surgeries. Recently the pain has become so bad that I am afraid I my loose my ability to walk. After four treatments at Now Wellness, I am able to walk my dog farther then I have been able to, and with less pain then I had two weeks ago. After my treatment course is complete I will update you on the final outcome, I am very excited about what that will be! read more

Sachiko is amazing to work with. I've seen her for about a year, and would go back to her in a heartbeat if I hadn't moved out of state. I was in intense pain after an accident that left me with many fractures and soft tissue damage. Acupuncture helped my pain and healing in a way that Western medicine could not. I have so much to thank Sachi for, she has been an instrumental help in restoring my health. Sachi has tremendous talent and a versatile skill set. She has used needles, cups, non-scarring moxa (I think this is the right term), and other techniques with me, with great success and gentleness. Her needles didn't even pinch, and provided serious relief. At the same time, Sachi is kind, humble, and goes above and beyond. She has kindly made house calls when I wasn't well enough to come in, and has even developed a short lifestyle guide, of her own creation, that I have found tremendously useful. With Sachi's creative, flexible, and hardworking spirit, I am convinced she will be able to help anyone heal. read more

My first experience with acupuncture was with Sachi and I can say that she put me at immediate ease with her professionalism, knowledge, warmth and patience. My ankle injury was from August of last year and she treated it twice - with each treatment I was able to see immediate improvements which really blew me away. I highly recommend Sachi and look forward to future acupuncture sessions with her. read more

Dr. Sachi is extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her calm and tender touch will make your stress just melt away.
