I began seeing Stacie Small for acupuncture, and cupping last March. We did bi-weekly affordable…read moretreatments to treat my problems with social anxiety, traumas, PTSD, a pinched nerve, and nicotine addiction. After about 2 sessions we were able to talk about subjects that used to make my muscles tense, and my brain distract automatically, with a new sense of ease and comfort. Stacie has a warm, and inviting energy, a clean studio, and a very kind heart. She is generous, and intuitive in all of the right ways, and continues study relevant to her practice, and our times. Stacie's needling technique is extremely gentle, and accurate, she likes to incorporate stones, and occasionally oils if you like. I haven't picked up a cigarette in over four months now, the smell even repulses me, wen though I recall enjoying it even as a child. If I could give a ten star review I would, I highly recommend Stacie for acupuncture, Gua Sha, and cupping. The studio is always clean, quiet, and friendly. There is also tea in the waiting room which is an excellent bonus.

She worked in Nepal, and continues to support rural Nepalese health initiatives. I was especially thrilled to find a local acupuncturist with familiarity in scalp acupuncture, as I have had great luck with that in improving my mobility and strength, as I have a diagnosis of Arthrogryposis. Her prices are very fair, her office is clean, comforting, and smells nice, making an appointment is quick and easy, and she even works with a specialized insurance biller to explore your coverage. Stacey is a rare Humboldt gem, and I highly recommend her.

With Bowen Therapy my back and hip pain is gone! In the beginning I would receive Bowen Therapy every week, but after a month of weekly therapy (it can take a few sessions before you feel the benefits of Bowen), I now go to Christine every 3-weeks for a 1-hour session and I feel great. Thank you Christine, for bringing this unique and effective healing therapy to Humboldt County!

Avoid these people. Avoid them. They called like an hour before my appointment on Monday morning…read more Since I didn't have my ringer on they just gave my appointment to someone else. I drove 3 hours one way to meet them, because they were highly recommended. Not only did they not give a damn that I was in a LOT of pain, the receptionist was cold as a bureaucrat, and the manager just kept mouthing these platitudes, "I understand." Just corporate speak. Thing is I did confirm, said I definitely want the appointment on Friday. But they called last minute "to confirm." Since I didn't call back, "Sorry." Oh, when I first called, they tried to immediately upsell me to more treatments before I had even come in. AVOID.

I have scoliosis and seeing Nathan 1-2 times per month has significantly decreased my level of daily pain. He is always accommodating, kind, professional, responsive and understanding.

He always strives to improve my experience and to better his techniques. I strongly recommend Nathan!!!

He's answered every question I've asked in person or text. He will take videos with commentary and re-explain movements to help me get it when I don't understand.

I visited Dr Bellinger recently for ongoing pains I have had in my lower back (and also in my…read moreneck). His office is centrally located and is a simple, clean, one-person office with a semi-private waiting room. In regards to care, my pains have been ongoing in the sense that X-rays have shown unremarkable findings and previous care givers have simply referred to me as a "pain management & build your core... you're getting older" case. I very much appreciate Dr. Bellinger's care and approach. It has been years since I had a manual adjustment and it seems that it was long overdue. Immediately after my first appointment I felt relief and improved mobility (though I know it's an ongoing journey. :) ). But, Dr. Bellinger also took time to listen, respond, and educate me. That was the key. For the first time I had someone provide me with helpful and repeatable things that I could do at home to improve and it has 100% began to help. I have followed up now weekly on our plan and have nothing but praises.
