I would not recommend the place. Massage isn't great, the place isn't nice and the customer service is bad, plus my apple watch got stolen here. read more

Christine has been helping me with acupuncture for the past 6 months. I have nothing but good experience with her as she's attentive and knows what she's doing with the needles. Always spot on. She asks which area to focus and I have felt much improvement with my health since then. Along with acupuncture she also uses cupping to complement her treatment. Overall, great experience and reasonable pricing. read more

I had such a great experience today. They truly care about your wellbeing. I did acupuncture, cupping, and massage. My body has been having so many issues, this helped so much. They take their time to really get to know what it is you need. Christine helped me today, and was so helpful. Highly recommend. They also offer discounts if you buy packages. read more

Sequoia Healing Clinic and Spa - Sequoia Healing Clinic & Spa - Acupuncture Near Me - Oakland, California

Very nice quality of service! I have been coming here for maybe six months now, i first came in because of severe neck and scalp pain that physical therapy and doctors could alleviate. Christine was able to help me completely get rid of the pain and aches with a combination of acupuncture and cupping. She is a professional at what she does and you can tell she is service oriented and really cares about you getting the results you want. I have also gotten massages from Alice (?) and they are extremely great. It's at a super reasonable price and it's a one hour full body massage, custom to if you have certain ailments. I've gotten massages at five star hotels before and this one is just as good if not better. The place itself is unassuming and simple. I highly recommend! read more

Although I have never done acupuncture here, I would definitely recommend the fire cupping! The amount of toxins exposed the first treatment was nasty BUT I went the second time and things were less painful. It had a very peaceful ambiance inside till the point I fell asleep, haha. Overall, I love how I feel currently now. Definitely, recommend this place as I'll be coming back more! read more

I have been having nerve pain in my arm for over 6 months now that a primary care doctor was baffled by and even tried to refer me to a brain doctor for tests. I decided to try acupuncture and cupping first before escalating to that level and the nerve pain went away immediately. Turns out it was just bad blood circulation. read more

I have multiple chronic conditions, and after just one visit to Sequoia Healing Clinic I already felt symptom relief that I haven't experienced in years. If you are experiencing any digestive, headache, or pain conditions, try this clinic! Dr. Chen and the entire clinic culture is so professional and caring. They care about your wellness as a whole person and will provide you with a suggested treatment plan to target the root cause of any symptoms you may be experiencing.

I am a customer for 3 years and I have been maintaining my bad back with the treatments and recommend this place for great results. Very clean and the best customer service. Dr. Chen is very knowledgeable with acupuncture and the best with the cupping. The message workers are very knowledgeable and they always seemed to take away the pain and problems. If you need healing this is the place to go for all injuries. Take Care and Be Well read more

Excellent service . Nice take care. Very friendly. Thank you for everything to work on my shoulder pain. read more

Went in for acupuncture and cupping, left feeling very refreshed. Great service and cleanliness. Will be coming back!

Great place , great. Service . I was in a lot of pain before I started going to this place now I'm feeling much better. I don't usually do reviews but this place deserves a great review. I highly recommend Miss Christine. read more

I wish I can give this place zero star. The owner Christine Chen doesn't have enough knowledge of acupuncture. She doesn't know what she's talking about. I found another acupuncturist who actually studied and became a doctor in China, that's way better for me. Also, the massage beds are also dirty. They flip the towels to make it clean. I got infections. Beware. read more

I have been coming to Sequoia Healing Clinic Spa for over two years for acupuncture and cupping which has really helped regulate my periods and chronic pain such as back and knee pain. Dr. Chen is very amazing and very knowledgeable in holistic health. Not only that but she treats all of patients with respect and every now and then she will have a celebration for her patients. I highly recommend! read more

My partner and I just moved to the area and highly recommend this place (partner's first time doing acupuncture!). We both purchased a package (a great deal) that included acupuncture and cupping in each session. At each session, Dr. Chen would ask us a few questions and then create an approach specific to our needs and concerns. read more

I was very interested in getting acupuncture here and purchasing a package but there was a lady at the front desk who was very rude. I asked her recommendation and she was so snappy and short tempered. This is not a way to treat new customers !! read more

Love this place. Dr. Christine Chen is an amazing acupuncturist and her business is clearly run with care and love. I have had acupuncture here but I regularly come for massage and I have never had a bad experience. Many reviews in here I notice talk about too much pressure etc. the massage techniques utilize acupressure and it is important to let practitioner know if you want or need lighter pressure. Since I am sensitive I always tell them light pressure and every person I've seen has done excellent work. Practitioner I had today was a gentleman who did such an amazing job I left feeling grateful and refreshed after my exhausting 60 hour work week. I don't have a physically strenuous job but it is mentally strenuous so I tend to carry a lot of tension when I work hard. Recommend 100% for acupuncture and massage. I did not love the cupping but it was very helpful for my partner. read more

I have been plagued for about four weeks with insomnia. I have tried all of the OTC remedies, but to no avail. I had visited Dr. Chen about 7 years ago when I was having neck issues. My colleague -- who swears by Dr. Chen -- was adamant that I should see if she could help with the insomnia battle I've been fighting (and losing). I saw her for the first time on Friday. She performed both acupuncture and cupping therapy and also recommended a couple of herbal medicines. I had been averaging about 3 hours of sleep each night, which is agonizing for someone like me who really, really, really needs 8 hours of sleep to function. Guess how many hours I slept Friday? Just 5. And Saturday? 9!! And Sunday? 8! Have just come back from another session and am so relaxed and loose. I can't sing her praises enough. Thank you, Dr. Chen! read more

I had a great massage with Mary. She did a great job and really helped me relieve the leg and hip tightness that I have I recommend read more

Appalling. I have never felt the need to post a review that warned people away from a business. That time has come. Go somewhere else! Now! I stopped by for a 20-minute chair massage to help with a stiff neck, and received a merciless pummeling for my trouble. Disclosure: I am a trained massage therapist and former massage/anatomy instructor, so I know what to ask for, and what to expect in a session. This was unquestionably the worst massage of my life. Why? The guy didn't relent. Might have been a language barrier, but repeated cries of "Ouch! Ouch! Too much! Too tight! Too painful!" should have been noted. If I hadn't been so stunned, I might have jumped off the table and headed for the fire exit. In addition, the therapist had a cough that sounded like he had TB, or perhaps smoked 3 packs a day. Not pleasant. The surroundings were fine: good table, linens, music, temperature - but I couldn't get away from the pain. The PAIN. Elbows are not to be used a brute-force implements, you know? And there's this little thing called preparation - warming the muscle? Deep tissue does not mean playing bass guitar on my tendons. Seriously. Now I have to find a nice student clinic or chiropractor to repair the damage. Next time, I'll take a long soak in the tub and give the $20 to the food bank. read more

I've gotten a handful of massages now from Sequoia and each time I kept hoping it would get better next time or that maybe a different masseuse would be better. But unfortunately, it seems like a lot of your masseuses don't understand basic massage etiquette. Every single time I've been there they have left the door open, which is not only cold but also uncomfortable and takes away from a soothing experience when you can hear so much noise and foot traffic outside the room. Two different times the masseuse answered her phone in the middle of my massage. One time her phone vibrated every 10 minutes and I had to ask her to put it on silent, which should have been something obvious and she should have done that on her own. read more

I am there regularly to have acupuncture treatment and body massage for the sake of my shoulder and back pain. The clinic is located at downtown Oakland just 5 minutes away from the 19th Street Bart Station which is very convenient; if you drive, there are few public parking nearby and plenty of street parking. Environment wise, the clinic is very clean and bright which give a relaxing feeling. The lady at the front desk normally welcomes me with a cup of tea and lead me to the room. The rooms are also clean so that I don't have to worry about the hygienic problems. For the acupuncture treatment, Dr. Chen is professional and friendly, she is very attentive to follow up with my problem every time and give suggestions on my daily activities and diet to help me get rid of the pain. The massage is great, I usually have the same therapist since she knows what I need and where to push stronger and softer. Since my neck and shoulder are usually very tight, she will give deep tissue massage on the spots where are really tight, and do softer on other area. I feel much better every time after the treatment, and my pain problems has improved a great deal since I started treatment there. The price is reasonable comparing with other places of same kind. The biggest bonus is they gave me 1 free treatment when I bought 6 treatment package. They also have different massage coupons available on Craigslist, it is usually a big discount on the regular price, so I will check on it if I feel like having body massage only. read more

Great massage! It was super affordable and the place was clean! The massage therapist listened to me when I asked for her to adjust her pressure. Will return. read more

I went here while I was on vacation and had a wonderful experience (and it wasn't just the fact that I had my first weekend off in 2 months making me biased, I promise)! I wanted both a massage and a facial, but the aesthetician wasn't in that day. The masseuse called her associate and had her come in just to see me! So, after a really great massage--this woman has STRONG hands, so if you need a deep tissue massage, look to her--I had a really amazing facial! I would go back in a heartbeat. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality of service, too! read more

My shoulder pain that kept me awake at night every 2 hours became 6 hours after one treatment and now almost completely cure after 5 treatments. Thank you to Dr. Chen's help with a combination of acupuncture/cupping/massage. It works for me. read more

Dr. Christine Chen was one of the best Chinese doctors I had ever met. Not only did she help me heal my knee problem which I had it for more than a decade, she was also kind enough to recommend another local Chinese doctor to my daughter who was close to where we lived in San Mateo after a car accident. She was also heavily involved with local Chinese doctor association which was how she networked with other doctors. I couldn't thank enough for her kindness in every way. read more

I was referred to this place by my co-worker who knew that I frequently get migraines and in need of a massage due to our work environment. I must say this place is AMAZING. I always leave feeling better. The massages are VERY affordable and feel GREAT. You don't feel as though you were attacked and in need of pain pills later. Not only that the multiple services they provide for the price is just perfect for my budget. I recommend the massage and the acupuncture. I have never had acupuncture done before because I am not a fan of needles but I appreciate them showing me the needles were never used, and I could barely feel them placed on me. I can't say enough how much I LOVE this place and HIGHLY recommend it!!! read more

I was referred to Sequoia Clinic & Spa by a coworker and let me tell you I was a little hesitant at first because I'm always skeptical trying new things,but after I found out that my insurance covered the services I figured I'd give it a try. And, my shoulder has been THROBBING. At my job I do a lot of repetitive work and my R. Shoulder, Hand, and Wrist were burning and throbbing. Dr. Chen suggested acupuncture and again that hesitant feeling came back because I've never had acupuncture before but Dr. Chen patience and kind words help me try it and OMG my entire Right side is healed after 6 -8 visits. My shoulder is cured. No more burning and throbbing feeling I felt prior to the visit. My husband who drives 140 miles a day always complained about his shoulder blade, neck, and heal. I encouraged him to go see Dr. Chen and the reflexology service along with the massage has helped him tremendously -- he feels Amazing after each visit. And, let me include how clean the establishment is and how wonderful the atmosphere is. If you have any pains or strains go visit Dr. Chen at Sequoia Healing and Spa! read more

So glad I found this place!! Dr. Christine Chen is so knowledgeable and skilled at her craft. Before Christine, I was a complete mess with achy knees, wrist issues from typing, and sharp lower back pains. I have been visiting Sequoia Healing Clinic for two weeks now and have felt significant relief through acupuncture and cupping. I have also received superb massages from Michelle and Mary and they were both excellent. It's a super plus that they're located so close to my work!! Come here if you need the mid-day massage relief or long term holistic healing!! 5 solid stars!! read more

Great service! Glad that I went during my lunch time. Have lower back pain for 1 year due to working as a front desk agent. After got massage from Edwin, I felt relieve from lower back pain. Edwin really know my points, where to put more pressure and where is not good for pressure. He's so nice and pay full attention on me while doing massage. He's not like some other places, they will try to save energy and time, and rush to finish the work and get paid. Also I tipped him $30 for 1 hour FULL massage work. I really recommend him. Also, I tried their sauna service which is free for customer before the massage or after the massage, which is so convenience for me to take shower and do sauna after the massage. The environment there is clean, quiet and make me feel comfortable and reliable. After all I would recommend this place, you guys should give it a try!!! =) read more

Came in to relieve some stress, but unfortunately they don't redeem the Holiday coupon. Lost a customer, business fail.

I had been so busyand not get a chance to treat myself well. I really enjoymy experience in Sequoia Healing Clinic And Spa in uptownOakland last Saturday. Christine greeted me warmly and showed mearound the place.The atmosphere was calm and relaxing.My masseuse, Linda, did a great job. Sheworked tirelessly to work out my knots and kinks on my back and neckarea.I leaveher massages feeling blissed out with far less tension. My boyfriend tried their foot spa and tea bar next door. They let us choose from 6 kinds of Chinese tea so we choose the stress reduction tea. It is def the top choice! The tea was served in very cute set of tea pot and cups. I want to have the same in my house! The foot massage costs $29 with a free tea tasting.My boyfriend was very happy with the massage and he gave $10 for the tips. Great place and I'm definitely telling all my friends! read more

I recommend this place for people who are looking for pain care or massage services. I used to doubt the effect of acupuncture treatment or Chinese medicine in general, after seeing the cupping marks on a lot of the athletes, I wanted to give it a try to heal my major shoulder and upper back pain. After couple acupuncture and cupping treatments from Sequoia clinic, I was amazed how magically it is for pain relief and body relaxation. Dr. Christine Chen is very professional and skillful, she tried to understand the root cause of the pain and planned out a treatment for me. I especially enjoyed cupping treatment, I really felt like all negative energy extracted from the body, and I felt much lighter on the shoulder and back. The pain went away after about 4 treatments. The environment in the clinic is very relaxing and clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They always call to remind your appointment schedule and follow up with the post-treatment result. read more

Loved my foot reflexology! So relaxing and healing. Mary was my masseuse and super talented!

Christine Chen provided a wonderful atmosphere and therapy at the Spa. My first impression was how clean the establishment is. The pictures on Yelp are exactly how it looks today. The decor is relaxing and everyone was very friendly. The free tea bar is a nice touch. Christine even provided me a tour of the facility and every inch was well kept. For me that's the first thing that's keeps me relaxed. The therapy was fantastic so I bought a package deal. She studied in China and the US and brought a wealth of knowledge and experience. I look forward to my next visit! Thank you. I feel great! read more

Had some tension in my neck for a few weeks, side effects of aging, and it got to the point to where I couldn't turn my head right. Got a same day appointment, short consultation, and decided on a cupping treatment and a deep tissue massage... I've been pretty golden since! read more

My friend referred me to this place. I have visited this place many times. My favorite is the foot massage and body massage combo. It's very relaxing especially while drinking the stress relief tea. This place is unique because it combines tea tasting with massage. It's a bit far from my place but I don't mind the drive. read more

Sequoia healing clinic is superb. Everyone is very helpful and the foot/body massage is amazing. If your stressed or need to chill out for a bit in a good place, this is the place. Try it out read more

Overall the massage itself was good. The therapist was nice and did a decent job when she wasn't leaving the room to answer the door or answering her cell phone when it rang. The big issue came when it was time to pay. I asked the woman how much and she did not know. She called her boss on the phone and she told me the boss told her $60. When I called to make the appointment I book the massage special which on the flyers that they have sitting on the counter show the price as 39.99. The therapist called her boss again so I could speak to her and the woman told me that the flyers were old and not valid. There was no signage stating price changes and these flyers were sitting in a pile on the front desk for anyone to see. I have the therapist $60 but I will never be back and I don't encourage anyone else to visit until they vastly improve their customer service and update their posted prices. read more
