    I wish Health Care were like this to everyone....
    Anita W.

    I first came to Sarana because it is open on Sundays. From time to time, I was helped by different practitioners, and felt positive effects from other treatments (massage and cupping). Appointments are easily made online, and cancellations are simple if done 24 hours ahead of time. The clinic is very calm, unpretentious, and trustworthy. If there are no volunteers at the front desk, patients leave the payment or donation in a box. Also, I like how environmentally conscious the doctors and staff are, and their attitude of making acupuncture affordable and a strong community building tool.

    Throbbing in heels due to diabetic neuropathy? Could acupuncture address this issue?

    Hi Cheri - yes it is possible for acupuncture to be helpful with this. As this is a chronic issue, most benefit will likely be derived from regular longer-term treatments. If you have never had acupuncture, the first step would be to try it and see…

    Ivy has given me really, really good advice based on her many years of experience treating women…read more The space was extremely clean and warm, inviting, serene, all at the same time. My body started to relax immediately when she started treating me with acupuncture, and I was in a blissful daze for hours after!!! Booking my appointment online was a breeze as well. I plan to incorporate her tips and see where it goes. It feels great to feel seen by someone with such specialized knowledge. It's not just the high quality of the acupuncture itself but the mindset she's putting me in, with practical advices (food, types of movement, even how to frame the whole health thing for me...), that make it worth the trip for me. Can't wait to go back again!

I went again recently after the birth of my daughter to invest in a little self care with a womb massage from Bianca and it was amazing! Bianca took the time to hear my concerns beforehand and evaluate the current state of my body. The womb massage felt so nurturing and relaxing - so much so that I woke myself from my own snoring! I told Bianca that that rarely happens and speaks to the power of her healing hands which just melted away tension and gave my body the attention it needed postpartum. I highly recommend Luminae and the awesome team of strong, nurturing, and empowering team of women that provide such thoughtful care. I'm looking forward to booking a deep tissue massage next!

This is my go-to place in the area because they open late and provide good service. Similar apothecaries in Oakland Chinatown close at 6pm and are usually more crowded so you'll have to wait ~10-20 mins longer for a custom order. Also you can get a bubble tea while you wait, if you're into that sort of treat. Note: If the formula is in pinyin they can fill it for you (I usually write it out in Chinese characters). It's true they don't speak much English, but at least service is friendly. They have a good selection of bulk herbs and do not display endangered species, which I appreciate. The price is very affordable, but if you need your herbs to be higher quality (i.e. gluten free, pesticide free, etc.) and don't mind paying more for it, try Shen Clinic down San Pablo near Marin Ave. They carry Springwind Herbs which tests for 400 kinds of pesticides.

After gathering some info from me, including some other health issues that I had been dealing with over the years, Montse was able to tell that my body's constitution was imbalanced and needed a serious tune up. She was very interested in getting to the root of the problem. Montse clearly guided me through the proposed healing plan with a combination of acupuncture and Chinese medicinal herbs. All of the seemingly unrelated health issues I had been experiencing were actually all connected. This was a big breakthrough for me and I was excited to see real improvement with the treatments. I'm feeling so much better after several sessions with Montse, and I continue to see her for weekly visits. I'd highly recommend her to others who are dealing with chronic or acute health problems. She's truly focused on healing in a gentle and comforting way.

I…read morehad never done acupuncture before, but heard good things about it helping with fertility, and wanted to see if trying something different this round would help. The studio is a very calming place to walk into, and Deanna was very warm and put me at ease. I really appreciate the calmness there, and always looked forward to my sessions. She was extremely knowledgable and competent in forging a plan for me to help in each stage of the IVF process. I felt in very safe hands, and though I don't really know how the magic of acupuncture works, it made all the difference for me. I got pregnant, and have had a very comfortable, mobile, sane, easy experience that I am so grateful to have had given the high risks of my pregnancy. I am now a week away from delivering my baby, and would recommend Tao to anyone struggling with health or fertility issues.

The approach to talking about my injury was "accessible" to my "western medicine" upbringing. And most importantly: my third visit was like turning the switch off for my pain. I probably had a pinched nerve in my neck, but due to delays seeing a pain specialist through my primary care, I was trying anything. I ultimately was seeing a "western medicine" doctor and Tao to Wellness at the same time. But the timing of my pain shutting off is strongly suggestive that acupuncture played a big part in shortening the duration (which my "western medicine" pain specialist had suggested would be possible). Deanna was my acupuncturist.
