I have recommended Alisa and PUSH Acupuncture to all of my pregnant friends - I have only good things to say! I initially reached out to Alisa with my first pregnancy when it was looking likely that I would need to be induced. This was my first experience doing acupuncture and trying Eastern medicine but she made me feel so comfortable and cared for. We were able to focus on trying to naturally induce labor, and I was able to see her twice before my baby came. She was incredibly thoughtful and followed up after my delivery to check-in and see how I was doing. Fast forward to my second baby, I scheduled more regular visits for some other minor complications. Over the course of my visits, she also checked in on other symptoms and helped me feel better with things like congestion and other minor aches. With both babies, I had quick and healthy deliveries! If you're on the fence about trying acupuncture or exploring Eastern medicine, I would strongly recommend Alisa and her practice. She made me feel at ease and well cared for. read more

We came to Alisa based on our doula's recommendation because we wanted to try inducing labor naturally. We really appreciated how thorough Alisa was in understanding my wife's pain points and anxieties. After the session, my wife felt relaxed, happy, and completely pain-free. read more

I cannot recommend Alisa enough! I was recommended to Alisa through a breastfeeding support group after seeking help in getting my little one to nurse without a nipple guard. I was a little nervous to work with a lactation consultant again after having a bad experience with a different consultant, however I am so thankful Alisa joined our village. She took her time understanding our needs, met us without judgement and honestly was a part time therapist. Perhaps my favorite part of working with Alisa is she changed the way I was thinking about using a nipple guard. It wasn't so much focus of getting us of it, but more focused on our baby's long term needs and being able to nurse without the nipple guard was just a positive result of other exercises and bodywork. After about two sessions, lots of at home exercises and a few bodywork sessions we were able to nurse without a guard. read more

Alissa is a miracle worker! I sought her care after experiencing continued tension and numbness in my c section scar 2 years post partum. After the first session, the tension was greatly reduced and I could feel sensation across my whole scar area again (previously could only feel 1 side). With continued sessions I felt we had greatly reduced the adhesions and tension around my scar and my lower back pain subsided with it. I am embarking on my TTC journey for a second child and plan to see Alissa for fertility and pregnancy support! read more

I'm so grateful for PUSH and the magic that Deb is!! I went to PUSH specifically to support me with fertility. As a type one diabetic and a 36 year old woman, I wanted to make sure I did everything I could to ensure a healthy pregnancy. I think I got treatments at PUSH for 2 (maybe 3?) months before finally getting pregnant and I continued to go all throughout my pregnancy!! I loved meeting Deb and I always felt so taken care of in her space!!! The week before I was scheduled to be induced (because my baby Jax was measuring to be a BIG baby) I had Deb do a house visit to support me in getting things moving as naturally as possible. While I did experience some contractions, Jax was committed to staying in as long as possible!! Fast forward to being in the hospital - my induced labor caused unbearable back labor pains so Deb came in to support! She helped my stress and discomfort levels so I could continue on with my labor. After 33 hours of labor, he arrived healthily at almost 10lbs. Fast forward to last week (Jax is now 15 weeks old), and I started feeling the pains of mastitis. I tried every home remedy possible and finally contacted Deb because I was in so much pain! I almost went on antibiotics but wanted to see if she could support me first! I saw her and after one cupping treatment, I woke up the next day feeling entirely better!! I highly recommend Deb and her services!! read more

I am so grateful we found PUSH San Diego. Baby girl was one week late and Deb helped us tremendously. The accupressure was so effective and relaxing. I could feel contractions and baby moving on the spot. She even prepared my husband to coach me and massage me during labor and delivery which worked miracles on D day. The accupuncture was gentle and effective. At the end of the session, I felt so relaxed, happy, and mentally closer to hold our baby girl. Deb even kept me extra time and made sure I had all the necessary care. We had to cancel our final session as our baby girl came 3 days after the previous one . Deb was always available for us from the first day I called her. I actually wish we went there sooner, closer to my 39 weeks (if you consider going, don't wait. Deb is really gentle and will build up her customized treatment and its intensity gradually to ensure you and baby are both prepared). I am really impressed and plan to come back for our second child. HIGHLY RECOMMEND here on Yelp and to my closest friends. read more

Alisa is the healing queen! I have been going to Alisa for 4 months now and she is by far the best acupuncturist I have ever had (I've had three!) she is so gentle when she inserts the needles but not only that, she is also uses herbs, moxibustion, ear seeds, cupping, massage, essential oils, breathing technique, steaming and so much more to help you heal! I came to her when I found out my baby had no heartbeat and she helped get the natural miscarriage started, just one session and it got it started! She helped and made sure that everything was successfully expelled from the uterus through acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, and vaginal steaming. Since then she has been helping me recover and take care of my other health concerns. She is incredibly thorough, spends a lot of time each session asking about my overall health and customizes each session based on how I'm feeling that day. She is the best overall eastern medicine practitioner that I could have ever asked for. She also recommends supplements, herbs, oils, for daily use when you are not at the clinic so you can treat yourself at home too! And she answers all of my questions. I am beyond thankful to receive treatment from her and definitely recommend to literally anyone who wants to use Chinese medicine in their health! read more

I went to PUSH and received acupuncture by Grace. It was an amazing experience, I did labor prep one week before, then on the 2nd of February. That night around 10pm my water broke and my son was born February 3rd at 4:46pm. Even with an epidural it was a fast labor; I advanced through all stages quickly. I am now doing the womb healing and it is an amazing experience. I am experiencing some postpartum complications, but Grace is so helpful and I feel physically and emotionally soothed after each appointment. It truly lifts my spirits and encourages me. I will continue going to see Grace at PUSH. Next pregnancy I will start sooner. read more

Nothing but the absolute best here! I found Deb after we suffered through a miscarriage which led me down a deep hole of trying to heal my body from the inside out. I feel so blessed to have come across Push because it has been such a huge part in my healing journey. I started right smack in the middle of quarantine - so we were doing sessions via Zoom. Deb helped teach me a bunch of things to help myself while at home, she recommended some herbs to start taking and spent our session talking and showing me different points and techniques and even things my honey could help me do (hellllloooo Moxa, my FAVORITE thing ever)! Throughout our sessions she was there for me emotionally and I really appreciated that. I am now going once a month for acupuncture and look forward to each session! read more

My acupuncturist, Grace Stojanov, joined the group at PUSH San Diego, and I followed. The care and caring of all the practitioners and support staff is simply amazing!!!! Of course, I am partial to my own acupuncturist, but I have seen a physical therapist and on one occasion another acupuncturist. Their care was wonderful, too. There is nothing adverse that I can even think of, and I have worked in health care for over 60 years - I am pretty picky! Any care you need that they provide will be A-1. Their special emphasis on fertility and pregnancy, and post-partum, doesn't limit what they do. I'm clearly not in that demographic, so I speakn to the rest of us. Great care, knowledge, caring, what more can I say??? Oh, I have referred some people to PUSH San Diego and have had those folks come back to me and thank me. Perhaps this is another way of referring someone to this practice group. read more

I've been a client of Push for about 4 years now and I have nothing but the best things to say. I began with Deb during my first pregnancy (post miscarriage). I then returned during my second pregnancy under treatment with Alisa and it's become such an important part of my pregnancy and overall health and well being. From helping me through sicknesses, to body pains, to stress relief, to heart burn, to allergies, to literally any ailment that comes along. I even brought my 3 years old daughter in for treatment for things like digestion and strengthening her immune system, and she loved Alisa! Alisa is an angel, brought on by Deb the other angel. Highly recommend! read more

Grace is a god-send! I have arthritis is both knees and she has alleviated the pain and made it more bearable to walk and exercise. I've had a pinched nerve in my neck for decades and have tried everything from physical therapy to a chiropractor. Every time the pain had subsided but always came back within a few months. After a few treatments from Grace, the pain only comes back if I slept wrong. Her knowledge, caring nature and exceptional bed-side manner are the reasons I continue to go to her. At first I was worried about the needles but Grace quickly put my mind at ease. Highly recommended for any ailment from a persistent cough to more serious issues. read more

My first experience with Push was a hypnobirthing class during my first pregnancy. My husband and I learned so much about the birth process and how to work together to make the experience as beautiful as possible. Most recently, I went to Deb for acupuncture to help my second baby come on time. I am dealing with high blood pressure and gestational diabetes this pregnancy so the sooner baby comes after 38 weeks the better. I not a huge fan of needles!!! The idea of having them in my body does not sound relaxing to me at all. But my treatment yesterday was soooooo relaxing! The office is soothing from the moment you step in to the waiting room. As a mom of a toddler and a baby on the way, I don't find time to take care of myself as much as I would like. I walked in feeling stressed and worn down. Deb spent time listening to me before we started the treatment. I hardly felt the needles go in and she covers your eyes with the most amazing smelling sleep mask. During the session, I was able to relax fully and get in touch with my baby on the way. I felt so pampered and refreshed afterwards. And I have continued to feel relaxed and pain free all day today. Do yourself a favor and book a session here! read more

I attended Deb Davies' Childbirth Class, and it was fantastic. It was so full of relevant information, which Deb explained in such a way that people of all different levels of knowledge would understand. Deb's passion for caring for pregnant mothers and their babies comes through as soon as the class begins. I loved that she not only gave us concrete information that could be applied immediately in a practice, but we also got to work with pregnant mothers who came in for a treatment and apply them that very day! We worked in groups to account for the different levels of the participants in the class. As I am in acupuncture school now, I assisted a licensed acupuncturist, and was happy to practice the acupressure points that Deb taught us, as well as give a bit of massage, which the pregnant mama was all too happy to receive. Another great aspect of the class was the other participants - there were licensed acupuncturists, those of us in acupuncture school, massage therapists, doulas and midwives, and every person had a different perspective to receive and contribute to the information in the class. It was a great collaboration and a testament to Deb that several different areas of the healing/birth world were represented in the class. I highly recommend this class and will even consider reviewing it again in the future when I am licensed, as it is an incredibly interesting and fun way to gain CEU credits. read more

Had my first ever acupuncture treatment by Deb Davies for natural progression of labor. I was attempting a VBAC and going into spontaneous labor was pretty crucial. Went in to see Deb and within 48 hours, I went into spontaneous labor and had a very quick, beautiful VBAC!! So grateful for her help and knowledge! I felt so calm and comfortable with Deb even though it was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. She took her time getting to know me and my situation and I felt very cared for as she listened to all my concerns and labor jitters. She was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable and I felt so calm and at peace by the end of the session. Will be recommending her to everyone! Thank you Deb!! read more

I started seeing Deb for acupuncture treatment for support when I got pregnant. She is amazing! She is caring, nurturing and a powerful healer. My partner also sees her and he really enjoys his treatments as well. I've also taken Hypno-birthing with her. My partner and I gained a lot of insight on our roles as parents during the birth process. As well gave us confidence that we can totally rock our birth the way that we intend to welcome our little one. Very empowering class! I would recommend Deb to anyone, Male or Female, Pregnant or not you will be glad you did! read more

Deb Davies is amazing. I had Accupunture done to promote a natural inducement. This was my first experience with Accupunture. I felt so relaxed. Amazing woman and so knowledgeable. You can feel how passionate she is. I will be going back. Thank you so much Deb read more

So my first time trying acupuncture got the flu over the weekend and body feel stiff. After one treatment felt decreased pain increase energy all over my body. Also I don't like needles but Deb, was great no pain from needles, I would recommend this treatment to anyone. Michael. read more

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost a year and am so grateful I found PUSH on Yelp! I had never done acupuncture before but saw their great reviews so thought I would give it a try. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but after the FIRST session, I was finally pregnant! Not to mention everyone there is so nice and positive. I felt very supported and am excited to continue going throughout my pregnancy journey to help ease stress and anxiety. Highly recommend especially for anyone dealing with infertility! read more

Deb is my lifesaver...literally. I had issues for a couple years (simple hyperplasia and PCOS) with her help I'm back on track.

Everyone at PUSH acupuncture is amazing at what they do. The office staff is friendly and professional, the environment is calm and welcoming and there is a great variety of services offered. I highly recommend Deb to all expectant mommas, women who hope to become pregnant and anyone else struggling with aches, pains or other health concerns. She is SO kind and patient and has helped me in so many ways. I definitely can say my life has improved because of her support. She has such a beautiful soul, and I couldn't imagine going through any pregnancy without her. read more

How I love the care and attention of Deb and her team. She cares about your wellbeing and treatment. She really listens to your needs and treats you a manner that is best for body and mind. She is knowledgeable about her treatment options for various issues which ultimately benefits her clients no matter what they come in initially come in for. Thank you for everything! read more

Deb is the best! Her expert knowledge and ample experience provided me with immediate relief and peace. Deb knows instinctively how to treat patients. She transformed me back to health within a couple of sessions. I truly think she can do anything! Thank you Deb! read more

I loved the cupping treatment I got yesterday! It brought almost immediate relief from my neck pain. I always love my treatments here.

I wish I could give Deb 10 stars, that is how amazing she is! She has helped me through my entire fertility and pregnancy journey. My husband and I had been trying for about 6 months until I decided to go see her. She worked her magic, within a month and half of seeing her I was pregnant with twins. Then the worrisome thoughts creeped in as I was told my pregnancy was high risk. Deb was able to calm my nerves every session, helping me combat all the wonderful pregnancy symptoms, nausea, back aches, heartburn, carpal tunnel and more. She is super knowledgeable, friendly and personable. Deb truly listens to you and helps you through the journey every step of the way. I truly believe seeing her has helped me carry my twins to full term! I highly recommend seeing her at any point in your fertility/pregnancy journey she is a true gem. read more

I received acupuncture at PUSH everyday the last week leading up to the birth of my third son. Not only did it help with physical symptoms, but Grace and Deb really helped to soothe my emotional symptoms as well. It was a magical time i will never forget, the ritual of going everyday to prepare mentally and physically for the delivery of my baby, with the helping hands and support of these wise woman. I ended up having a very short and easy labor! Considering this was my first time receiving Acupuncture, seeing the results mentally, physically, and spiritually, i am now a firm believer! read more

My husband and I were fortunate to learn the hypnobirthing techniques and theory from calming and positive Deb. Thanks to her on-going reassurances & her genuine caring ways, I felt so prepared & empowered to birth my first child naturally just like I desired. I must share that prior to conceiving, I used to carry so much fear in the birthing process & I can say I learned in just 5 sessions to feel a confident mama. I will always be thankful Deb was my instructor as she prepared my husband & I very well. Just to add the cherry on the top....Deb treated me with some wonderful and relaxing acupuncture which helped a great deal with easing back & hip aches related to the changes my preggo body had to go through! If we wouldn't have taken hypnobirthing with Deb, my birth would not have been such a positive & beautiful experience. read more

I'm so excited to have found Deb! I was interested in acupuncture for fertility and a friend recommend I try this great acupuncturists in Banker's Hill, Deb Davies. Maybe it's just good luck, but after only 3 visits, it worked! Now I just go for acupuncture to relax and to pick her brain about pregnancy; Deb is an incredible wealth of knowledge! I am forever grateful for how caring and generous she has been in just our short time knowing each other. Thank you Deb! read more

When asked how to describe how amazing Deb is, the biggest challenge is where to start. From her warmth and compassion to the tender loving care she and her staff provide from the moment you step into her office, Deb is nothing short of amazing. Compassionate, empathetic, caring, kind...all of the stuff our world could use a lot more of. Whether you're there for pregnancy or to treat stress or even sports injuries, Deb is ready to treat whatever ails you. She is an absolute treasure, plain and simple. read more

Deb is an outstanding acupuncturist and Chinese medicine expert. I came to see her several times before my delivery because my daughter turned breech after 40 weeks. She guided me back to a balanced mindset and helped me tremendously. Her treatments extremely healing. I also took a hypno-birthing class with her that I recommend all pregnant moms to attend. read more

I am a second time mom and had pain in my neck and shoulders that the chiropractor could not alleviate. As a suggestion from my doula I went and saw Deb. She is THE best! I wish I could marry her! She knew exactly where my breastfeeding pains were and after the first treatment my pain went down by 60% percent. She applies different methods that I appreciate to help heal Mamas. Also I love that her ceilings are decorated! read more

Deb and Grace are San Diego's healing angels! Deb squeezed me in last minute, checked me in quickly, and treated my cold, neck strain, and low energy all in one sweep with genius cupping techniques and refined acupuncture quality. The results spoke right away! As a yoga teacher and holistic wellness practitioner, I definitely admire the wisdom and and precision that holds in this space. read more

I was struggling to get pregnant for two years and had tried almost everything. I went to acupuncture once and got pregnant. That little girl is now almost 3. Deb knows what she is doing and I would refer her to anyone. I went back to her for one other issue that was also resolved immediately. read more

My wife and I were referred to Deb by our good Doula friend for some postpartum treatment. Im on baby number two in four years and having a really rough time. I was desperate, my wife didn't know how to help me and we were willing to try anything. Debs staff herd about my situation and got me in the SAME day no questions asked. The office is beautiful, serene and welcoming. Deb came out and got my wife and I go in for our consultation...little did we know it would turn into a therapy session along with BOTH of us getting acupuncture treatments, ear seeds and aromatherapy. We both left Deb feeling tingling, at peace and humbled, it didn't stop there either. My wife I haven't been intimate very often since I gave birth 9months ago and I'm not sure what pressure point Deb hit but let's just say our dry spell is OVER! :) it was a first for both of us getting acupuncture and we will both be going back. Looking forward to many more sessions and seeing what else is in store for us as a family. Much Love, Two Happy Wives read more

Visited her a couple days before going into labor. Really helped sooth me and make me feel relaxed before going in!

PUSH was my first experience with acupuncture and I absolutely loved it during my pregnancy. I had placenta previa and a breeched baby. I was referred to PUSH to try and fix these issues and within weeks of treatment with Deb my placenta moved to where it needed to be and the baby moved into the correct position. If you need a massage, Crystal was also an amazing part of my experience at PUSH. Their techniques and knowledge allowed me to have a natural birth and put my mind at ease as they both assisted in the natural progression of birth when necessary. The entire staff was very welcoming, compassionate, and knowledgeable. They have made me feel like part of their family and I am forever grateful for them. I have learned so much on my journey at PUSH and they have all made me feel comfortable physically and mentally when I most needed it. I highly recommend services and would love to come here everyday if I could. read more

I wanted to thank you so much Deb, for your care, support and treatments for me. I delivered a perfect baby boy at home in that 'perfect 8 hour labor' you were providing me the mantra for. I was in the birthing pool and it was overall quick and the most intense. 2 hours of normal labor and 6 hours of hard labor. The midwives called me a warrior mama and I was so happy. It was just the most amazing experience and I'm so glad you helped me in this journey to the most blessed part of my life so far. The acupuncture treatments involved healing my low back pain and swelling at about 30 weeks pregnant. Then inducing labor at 39-40 weeks. The treatments were so relaxing and Deb thoroughly explained everything she was doing. I was so appreciative of the knowledge she shared. During the appointments, she played a meditation that really helped me and I believe it truly contributed to the outcome of my 'perfect' labor! :) read more
