Heartfelt Gratitude for Dr. Jennifer Olsen and Zen+Now Acupuncture I can't say enough about how grateful I am for Dr. Jennifer Olsen and the care she gave me. Last year, when I was diagnosed with an issue called right fourth cranial nerve palsy, I felt frustrated by the symptoms that were affecting my daily life. Specifically, I was experiencing double vision and extreme dizziness. From the very first appointment, Jennifer expressed not only a deep knowledge of Eastern medicine, but genuine warmth and reassurance. Through a thoughtful combination of acupuncture, cupping, and Chinese herbal medicine, she guided me through a three-month healing process that made a profound difference. Week by week, I felt my symptoms easing and my sense of normalcy returning. I truly feel that her expertise in Eastern medicine, compassion to her clients, and strong dedication played a central role in the recovery I experienced. What sets Jennifer apart is the way she treats the whole person--she listens deeply, explains everything with patience, and creates an environment where you feel cared for, supported, and understood. Every session felt purposeful and grounded in her sincere commitment to helping me get better. And now, after almost a year beyond the initial treatment, I am still symptom free! I am deeply grateful for the improvement I've experienced under Jennifer's care. If you're looking for an acupuncturist who brings both exceptional skill and a truly compassionate heart to their work, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jennifer Olsen. She has made a lasting difference in my life, and I cannot thank her enough. read more

Dr. Olson helped me tremendously with my trap tightness. I came in feeling defeated by the lack of relief I feel after massage session after a day or two and I still couldn't sing comfortably, but after having acupuncture for the first time- I can finally sing comfortably again and hold up my hymnbook securely. Also, I can engage other muscles better when I lift. When I shadow box, my shoulders still do feel a bit tired, I'll probably come back next month or so. I loved it here so much, and I feel so comfortable in the space. Thanks Jennifer! read more

My first introduction to Acupuncture and I could've asked for a better place to be. It is truly been helpful with my aches and pains, and the stresses that I have been going through. It is truly a Zen environment. I can't see myself going anywhere else.. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jennifer. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. She has such a compassionate and thoughtful presence that immediately puts you at ease. Jennifer truly listens, not just to your symptoms, but to your whole story. Her kindness and attentiveness make every session feel deeply personalized and intentional. You never feel rushed; instead, you feel supported, understood, and respected. What means even more to me is how welcoming she is with my seven-year-old. He absolutely loves coming with me to appointments because the space she creates is so calm and relaxing. She treats him with such warmth and kindness, making him feel included and comfortable. It speaks volumes about her character that a child feels so at ease in her care. Her treatments are gentle yet incredibly effective. The environment she creates allows both body and mind to fully relax and heal. The level of compassion, professionalism, and amazing service she provides is truly exceptional. If you are looking for an acupuncturist who combines skill, heart, and a genuinely nurturing presence, Jennifer is it. I am so grateful to be under her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking thoughtful, holistic, and compassionate treatment. -Adriana read more

Dr. Jennifer is the best care giver I've had - period. I have to set the scene of my previous "care" - I have been through the wringer in trying to find treatment for my back pain that started all of a sudden with no previous injury. I have been suffering for 2 years and I've been through exams, scans, and thrown into pain management programs that are basically there to tell you how to breathe while you're in pain but nothing about the pain, why, or what to do about it (even physical therapists barely touched me!). I finally started looking outside my insurance providers and I'm so glad I did! After a TON of online research, I found Now + Zen - the punny name hooked me, but all of the certifications and thought listed on the website that brought me in. The first appointment I booked the Happy Buddah package online with Dr. Jennifer. I walked in and was greeted with the most accepting and calming smile and shown to the treatment room. She sat down and asked me a few questions and I just started spilling, going over my frustrations and my theories on my pain and everything in between. Dr. Jennifer never said I was wrong or broke concentration to my story and also said she wanted to help me with this pain - this act in itself gave me more hope than I felt for 2 year into now chronic pain. The Happy Buddah package consisted of light massage, cupping, and acupuncture. I felt opened up in my movement like I had been previously operating with a heavy turtle shell that she allowed me to shed - even a little freedom was a giant step for me. She said there were other things that we could try in the next coming appointments and gave me acupressure gold ear seeds for further treatment. I was stunned just in the attention I was getting where someone believed they could keep trying things to help my issue. I wasn't able to come back for over a month then my second appointment I just signed up for the acupuncture with add-on cupping. Before the appointment I had noticed that when I lifted my arm a certain way I was able to pinpoint a giant knot where the pain felt like it was stemming from. I told Dr. Jennifer this and she set the bed up so that she could treat me with my arms a certain way. I asked how often I should schedule and she said we will go along as I feel. She doesn't want to over treat and over charge me which I appreciate and she said to call her to plan the next treatment together. I haven't felt so heard and cared for by a provider like this before. If you're looking for acupuncture and lots of other things, check out Now + Zen. read more

One of the most healing experiences I've ever had. Dr. Jennifer is calm, kind, and incredibly intuitive. From her thoughtful check-in before the appointment to the care she offered throughout, I felt completely seen and supported. As someone new to these practices, I appreciated how gently and clearly she walked me through everything, with zero judgment. I originally booked the AcuDream Facial, but after discussing how my body and energy were feeling, she suggested the Happy Buddha package instead. I'm so glad I trusted her. Every part of the session acupuncture, cupping, lymphatic massage felt intentional and soul deep. The incense, the peaceful atmosphere, and her grounded presence created a space that felt not only safe, but sacred. I left feeling lighter, aligned, and nourished on all levels. I'll absolutely return and recommend her to anyone seeking genuine, holistic care. Thank you, I'll definitely be back. I'm going to check out the singing bowls next! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Jennifer. From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply she cares. I started seeing her a year ago while going through IVF--feeling raw and vulnerable--and she met me with such empathy and compassion. She consistently goes ABOVE and BEYOND, truly wanting to help. Over the past year, she has been a vital part of my healing journey. Her presence is calming and supportive, and I am beyond grateful for her. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment with her. read more

Jennifer was amazing! I brought my 15yr daughter in for lower back pain. Jennifer helped not only ease her mind but helped with relieving the lower back issues she's has had for a while now. We will definitely be going back! If I could give more then 5 stars I definitely would! read more

So many great things to say about this business, first most is how considerate & friendly Jennifer is, she took the time to listen and asked great questions about my life style, I can tell she's passionate about helping others. I had 3 visits within a months time and I can't tell you enough about how much my body reacted and felt soooo good for a long period of time. I've tried all types of techniques for back, hip & knee pain ( foam rolling, tens unit, yoga, chiropractor & creams). Acupuncture and cupping by far has been the best thing im done. Even my mood changed from the second I woke up and the clarity through out the day just made things easier with my work. She put me on the right path towards physical therapy. It's been a couple months and I'm ready for another session as my work season has picked up ( construction work). I even bought a couple gifts cards for my loved ones just so they can experience something special. P.s. if you get there early, check out the books she has in the lobby read more

Does anyone remember that commercial with the little girl and the grandpa that tells her you'll never work a day in your life if you love what you do. Dr. Jennifer Olson is the embodiment of that lifestyle and you'll know that too after your first interaction with her! She has the passion and kindness needed to offer true wellness... It may be slightly ignorant and selfish to say but if I have someone stabbing me with needles and sucking out toxins with hot glass cups and so on, I prefer someone who loves what they're doing ( this is not to say it feels like I made it sound. if anything if she wasn't talking me through the steps I probably would have never known) Not only do I love her energy but I love and honestly a bit surprised by how much of a difference everything made. I've never done any of the treatments she offers before but immediately after the treatments I told her I was hooked. I felt good and very relaxed and definitely thought of it as a nice self care day that made a bit of a difference dropping tension level in half. A day later I kept thinking about how "loose" I felt since a lot of focus was on my super tightness around my shoulders and neck. I was basically flapping my arms like a bird with excitement that I was able to move not so restrictively after who knows how long now. At this point I'm ready to press "subscribe now" and come in every other day. Since it's about and hour drive commute, a testament in itself really, I'll be shooting to stay with a monthly visit. Today, I am truly grateful how much those treatments helped me feel so drastically different. Almost as much as I am grateful for Dr. Jennifer. Thanks again! If you had a boss I would tell them to give you a raise lol ***************************************** Moral of the story: make your first appointment and give yourself the chance to feel better read more

Dr. Jen is magic! You will not be disappointed. The space is calming, I always walk out in total zen. Dr. Jen is truly amazing. She takes her time to address your issues. I've been going to her for over a year now regularly. She's helps wonders for my neck & arm pain from a car accident that I was days away from getting surgery on, my insomnia, digestive issues and perimenopausal symptoms. From acupuncture, medical massage, cupping, acufacial; every treatment I've had I come out refreshed. I'd recommend her to anyone struggling with any issues. Do yourself a favor and make that first visit. read more

It felt zen-like walking in and I was very excited to get started, but it seemed as though she wasn't too attentive because she also left a few needles in me, so when I went to put on my pants, I felt a sting on my leg and realized there was a needle in my thigh. I yanked out and then slowly scanned my body and found one on my arm and neck. Scary stuff. Sorry won't be returning. It wasn't 11 months ago. My Yelp account was deleted and I'm updating and what happened should be reported and revealed to others. You didn't use any whiteboard then nor did I see one at that time. read more

Dr. Olsen is an amazing practitioner! She helped me along my healing journey and I felt so supported by her.

Dr. Olsen is definitely my go to acupuncturist in Sacramento :) read more

FIVE + STARS! I have been to five different acupuncture clinics over the past several years. All of them were good, but Dr Jennifer is EXCELLENT! First, most practitioners charge an initial assessment fee of around $200. Dr. Jenn prefers that you save your money for treatments. There is no initial assessment charge! Second, her clinic is clean, welcoming and updated. She uses high quality massage tables with soft ,comfortable bedding, uand table warmers! There is also parking! Third, and most important, Jennifer always sits a few minutes with you before treatment. she listens with empathy. I feel she gives me 100 % of her attention and expertise when I am with her. I am 77 years old with a non curable ( according to western medicine) lung condition. My cough is better, my energy is better, and my attitude has improved since seeing Jennifer. 5 stars!!!!!!!

She talked me through the process and ensured my comfort the whole time. She is a very sweet woman who I will gladly be returning to. read more

Holy moly do I feel better! I will be back to this cute little building on 30th & H. The moment you walk in, there is an open flowing energy that puts you at peace. The ambiance is healing. There are parking spots behind the building. I went in because of a torn ligament in my ankle. After our session, my ankle feels the best it has in months! Jennifer is so kind. I could honestly feel the love in her hands. She took time to answer all of my questions and made me feel comfortable, taken care of, and at ease. read more

I loved my experience with Jennifer! She is kind and empathetic. She listened to my concerns and was eager to help. This was my first acupuncture experience so I was a little nervous and asked a million questions. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to really asses my concerns. She explained the process and always checked in to ensure I was comfortable. In terms of the massage she was gentle yet effective. My whole experience was calming and awakening. For those curious about COVID-19 protocols she asks to take your temperature and wash your hands before your session. She wears a mask throughout your whole session and asks for you to do the same. I felt comfortable the whole time. Tips: Make sure you hydrate before and after your session. read more

I had my first acupuncture and cupping experience at Now + Zen. Having recently moved back to the area to assist family in need, anxiety began to set in. Dr. Jen was warm and welcoming, and the careful treatment coupled with a serene environment proved effective. I spent the entire day buzzing thereafter. UPDATE: I've been back. read more

Dr Jennifer is amazing. She has been treating me for cluster migraines for the last month. She has gotten me in for treatment last minute and really been a blessing when I was looking for a new acupuncturist. She listens and is willing to try new things in order to help. She is very professional and I would recommend coming here for any of the services they provide. If you need Chinese herbs for your treatment they have those available as well. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at this facility. Jennifer was very professional and experienced. My session was very prompt and I got everything I needed from one experience without having to dig too deep into what I was experiencing. This was my first time getting acupuncture and I had a lower back pain. It's now two days later and I feel so much pressure relief already. I've been to traditional western doctors and they couldn't help much. This was only one session and I feel lighter and have more mobility .I will be back for another session and if your looking for a sign to try this business this is it! You will feel relaxed and rejuvenated . Dr. Jennifer was also so kind and patient. The office was also welcoming and comfortable. Come with an open mind and leave with a reassuring heart . Thank you ! read more
