Dr Joie & Dr K are enormously skilled healers! They exude care & deep experience. Thanks to them & the remarkable form of chiropractic work they work with (Network Spinal Care), I feel like I'm not only reversing old patterns, but becoming far more joyful! I originally came to Sojourn to address whiplash and knee pain, but I've stayed because of the dramatic impact I've been seeing this work have on other parts of my life -- I'm far more at ease, joyful & sleeping much more deeply! I've seen other chiropractors, but never have I learned a whole system for learning to release stress, trauma & old emotions from my body. The impact has been truly remarkable! With other chiropractors, I felt like I needed to see them regularly to help my body keep its alignment. But with network chiropractic work, I feel like my body is learning how to come back into alignment and I suspect the impact will last for the long haul. read more

Lovely space and Dr. K is an expert in taking care of my body and feeling better after leaving the office.

I've been coming to Sojourn for about a year now and am blown away both by the impact the Network Chiropractic and nutritional counseling have had on my well being and the incredible humans that Drs. Kirsten and Josie are. I showed up anxious, exhausted, with inexplicable body pain and in a pretty desperate state all around. Funny enough, I found Sojourn because I was looking for somewhere local to buy Standard Process supplements, not actually seeking care. Little did I know what was to come! Despite my desperation, I was quite skeptical at first, and returned to that skepticism a number of times during my initial treatment plan. That was always embraced by the doctors. I was never told to feel any way other than how I was feeling, never felt a hard sell, etc. They have faith in the process and held that faith for me even when I couldn't. Little by little, a subtle yet profound healing was taking place from the inside, facilitated by the skill and care that Drs. K & J so lovingly and generously provide. I'm a different person in so many ways and I thank the Sojourn team wholeheartedly for helping me to become a healthier, happier, more resilient and capable version of myself. A few practical results include: better sleep, reduced anxiety, elimination of my physical pain, a diet overhaul that is working wonders for me and a genuine sense of being deeply cared for by the Sojourn team. It truly is a community there, as well as an absolutely beautiful healing space, and I feel so grateful to be part of it! read more

Sojourn is pure magic! Even just walking into their beautiful office creates healing; and so much more being on their tables. I'm grateful for Dr K and Dr Joie's support during an intense health situation I found myself in in early 2023. They contributed to my healing immensely. The quality of their care is second to none. They operate at a whole other level of wisdom and skill; the results are profound. I recommend Sojourn a million times over. read more

Really wonderful, heart-centered, whole person wellness. Such great care is given here!

It's easy to be spoiled with the love and caring when just first greeted. But the fatigue and body aches I felt when I arrived where mostly gone when I left. I am ready for the task at hand ! I found my lost glasses in my Yelp picture!! now if I could figure out how to get them! read more

Sojourn Wellness Center - Me for my sojourn review! - Chiropractors Near Me - Oakland, California

Come to Sojourn for care and leave with a new experience of life that is more passionate, alive, and soulful. Dr K practices network spinal techniques which go way beyond the physical into the mental, emotional, and energetic. The effects accumulate over time like turning a ship 1 degree each visit until you are transformed into much more of who you were meant to be. Its hard to overstate the impact Sojourn has had on my life and everyone I come into contact with. read more

You two are the best. Coming to sojourn was key to healing through some really rough patches in life. I just came in for a tune up and my body feels like I've just been lying at a beach for a week, I was super tight, a bit stressed, with neck pain when I walked in, all clear . The healing touch, environment, and just all the love The two docs provide is just incredible. Thank you and love you!! read more

So grateful for your care, support, and the amazing changes I am seeing in my body and my life. Thank you for all you do to bring the magic!

I have been under the care of Dr. K and Dr. J for over a year now. To say it has been a life changing experience would be an understatement. Not only can I move better, I am also more connected to my body in a way I have never been before. I highly recommend giving Sojurn a try. So well worth your time and money! read more

I have been blessed to be In care with Sojourn for years. It would seem crazy to keep going but it is the wisest thing I have done. My body holds all of my egos unhealthy patterns. As I have continued in care I have a greater and greater ease and fluidity in my body. in addition, I can hurt my body and because of this care with one treatment the beautiful intelligence that lives in me heals the injured area quickly. It is mind blowing. If want more peace, ease and fluidity in your body and your life do yourself a favor and get into care at Sojourn. read more

Sojourn is a very special place. The entire experience, from the assessment process, to the administration of booking and payment as week as treatment is conducted in a way that makes the patient feel safe and well cared for. Moreover one feels part of a healing community, even during this strange socially distant time. Both doctors take the time to get to know each patient and really connect week to week with what is going on with us. My daughter and I have benefited a lot from the past six months of treatment and I look forward to our visit each week. read more

If you want more than being pain free and explore beyond what's possible with your body and your life, come through!

Been coming here for 2 years and have steadily seen improvements to my health. I no longer go to the "cracking" chiropractor because my tension and pain has been well managed by these wonderful healers. I am also doing their nutritional program and found that to be very beneficial also. On my last nutrition visit, with nutritional response testing, they found out that I had been drinking milk, and I rarely drink milk! I had a milk shake that day! Anyways, I love both of these doctors and I hope more people will discover this wonderful healing technique. Take care. read more

I can't believe it's been a year since I started sessions with SWC. The best self-care, I have given to myself. I never liked the "cracking" of a Chiropractor - it was never a pain release for me. The spinal entrainment sessions I've receive at SWC have released pain, tension and emotions that keep me in pain. Who knew that learning SRI (breathing patterns) would also assist in releasing my tension that most often can lead to deeper pain. I also receive attention to my body that is "caring" -- so very much needed in the times we're living in. In additional to my spine, I've also been on SWC nutrition program. The spine work combine with the nutrition takes my internal treatment to a higher level. With any treatment, it's a team commitment that embraces your healing. I'm commitment to my healing with the team support of the Dr's K and Joie. read more

I feel like I have a new body. I feel no tension on my back and shoulders. And what I do feel is excitement. Like Superman, I have a feeling there is nothing I couldn't do. My swimming has gotten incredibly better. It's effortless. I feel like I'm gliding. My teammates tell me I'm fast. And my coach is trying to get me to participate in the Nationals Swim Championship. This is the result of treatment at Sojourn Wellness over the last two years. And it has not only helped me physically. It's cleared up a lot of head-space. I didn't realize how much was going on upstairs. Relieved of my body's complaints, at 50 I feel like I've been blessed with a fresh start on life. Thank you, Dr. Kirsten, Dr. Joie! read more

Let me begin by saying how grateful I am to the Universe for steering me into the safe harbor of healing that Sojuorn Wellness offers. The doctors at Sojuorn are of upmost integrity and are among the most caring, intelligent and adept health professionals I've ever experienced. They are the type of doctors I always wanted but could never find. I have been seeing both Drs. Joie and Kirstin since last November and the ways they have helped me connect back into my body and helped to align my spine is nothing short of miraculous. I travel from Livermore to Oakland and it has been worth every penny of money and my time has been invested wisely. I have seen not only personal growth, and understanding myself better, my small business has improved and I have become more adept at my own personal work because of it. My life has changed for the better so much that my partner has started coming as well, and we bring both our children in to see the doctors as well. To see the quick and remarkable progress they have made has also helped improved the overall health and personal connectedness of all of us. My son is 5 years old and had been collapsed in on himself, with shut downs and the inability to communicate or express himself. Since coming to the doctors he has opened up and does not have the same inabilities he had before (he has only been coming for a month now and his improvement are so quick!). That alone is such a blessing. He loves going in for entrainments and before he didn't like seeing any sort of adults in anyway, especially doctors. As a mother I understand how careful we are with who we take our children to, however, I wouldn't hesitate to bring them in. He has proudly said to me how much he loves getting adjusted. To say I'm grateful is truly an understatement, I and felt so loved and seen by all The doctors (including Dr.Monica who is a burst of sunshine and manages the front of the house). I am excited to begin my nutrition part of the chiropractic care to continue my self improvements even further. I will never stop seeing the doctors, they have helped transform my life. My spinal alignment has improved, my body feels safer and I am getting to know myself again after years of feeling so disconnected, frustrated, sad, and lost. Thank you Sojuorn Wellness for leading me back home, to myself. Bless you all, i love each of you so dearly. read more

Please, even if you think that your health is all good, take advantage of Sojourn Wellness Center. Why be just good, when you can be great? I had no complaints about my health, no pains, yet a friend urged me to experience Network Spinal Analysis (aka Epienergetics), the modality that the Sojourn Wellness doctors practice. After only one session (entrainment), I saw such a release of muscle tension, trauma, emotion--all of which I had no idea was present in my body or psyche. Going above and beyond the NSA practice, the doctors at Sojourn Wellness are deeply skilled, caring, warm, and gracious. They have created an environment and community that is very special and gentle, an oasis of wellness and tranquility. Simply entering the space changes you. It is from deep appreciation that I recommend Sojourn Wellness Center to anyone and everyone. read more

I had some significant low back problems that ended in surgery early on in my life. Network care was the only thing I found that was safe and gave me long-term relief from my symptoms. Even more than that, it gave my quality of life a transformational boost I never could have imagined. This office is a beautiful oasis and the doctors that work within its walls are trustworthy, experienced, and nothing short of magical. I've been to a lot of places for my health over the years, and this is THE BEST. Hey, if it worked for me, maybe it could work for you, too. You won't regret checking it out. read more

Meeting the doctors at Sojourn and being under their care has been one of the most profound experiences I have had. Their knowledge, warmth and expertise is exceptional. Given the stress and health challenges in the past year, I am not sure that I would still be standing I'd it weren't for them. read more

I love the fine people of Sojourn! Their gentle approach to chiropractic adjustments (or as they call them, entrainments) is perfect for someone who is cautious of the crack. I get to monitor how my posture is changing and I can feel huge differences in my brain function after being a patient for so long. They have a wonderful front desk (thanks Dr. Monica!) and Dr. K and Dr. J are the real deal. Give it a try and see what it's all about. read more

I have been working with Sojourn for over two years. Through this time I have had a broken foot, a car accident, two bike accidents and a surgery. My recovery for all of these is swift. In addition I have been able to continue to live a full productive life. The care from the team at Sojourn is remarkable. You feel safe while you get to expand and grow. This care allows me to break through obstacles in all dimensions of my life. I can't say enough good things about this care and these doctors. read more

Dr. Joie and Dr. K at Sojourn are wonderful at what they do, both as chiropractors and nutritionists. They attune really well to what my nervous system and body need and offer helpful suggestions as to how I can continue to heal. I truly appreciate the genuine care and love they bring to their work and their clients. read more

Sojourn Wellness is a community for care, healing and connection. We all have unique relationships with our body and Sojourn has helped me connect more wholly to myself. Through a dedicated "network care" plan, I have been discovering greater alignment with my emotional and physical body inspiring major transformation in my life, to live more fully. This practice is subtle yet powerful, recommended to all who want to feel more connected with themselves and the world around them. read more

I've been a patient member of Sojourn for several years. Dr. Joie & Dr. Kirsten are warm, caring, experienced, skillful professionals. Their office is a sanctuary that is so inviting and beautifully created. It just welcomes you and draws you In to lie down and release & integrate tension on the table to heal yourself. Their new system is efficient and communicates well between the Sojourn Wellness Office and me, the patient-member, for appointment reminders, etc. I highly recommend their services. 5 stars. read more

Sojourn Wellness is amazing. The Drs. are skilled, kind, deeply caring, and create a healing environment to hold the transformation work they and those who come do. They have helped me through some very difficult times dealing with complex injuries. SO grateful. I would highly recommend them for.. well anyone... but especially for dealing with complex nervous system issues and head injuries. read more

I love Sojourn Wellness Center!!! Dr. Kirsten Perkins is such a loving, powerful and intuitive healer! I first started seeing her at her previous location for Network Spinal Analysis. After the first session, I had a very powerful healing. The work is very gentle. During the first session, Dr. Kirsten touched certain parts of my spine allowing more breath and energy to move through my body. I left feeling rejuvenated and very peaceful. I have recently started her nutritional response therapy program to help my body detox from heavy metals. I had suspected I had some heavy metal toxicity and without telling Dr. Kirsten she assessed my body and determined what types of metals and the areas of my body that were being weakened and then created a nutritional plan to help me create greater health in my body. It has only been two weeks but I already feel wonderful! I have more energy and it seems my body is able to metabolize foods with greater ease. I eat veggies for breakfast and start my day off right celebrating greater health in my life! This is a special place and hope you too will find your way into the loving care at Sojourn Wellness Center! Thank you, Dr. Kirsten!!! read more

I'm so grateful Soujourn Wellness has made it to my neighborhood! I love the interior and I always feel so welcomed by Ray at the front desk. Dr. Kirsten is amazing - her openness and interest in helping me live my best life makes me excited to go back there week after week. I appreciate her approach and I can tell she is both knowledgable and intuitive with how she works. The nutritional response testing is so fascinating and I love how the supplements I'm taking are helping me feel better! I highly recommend making an appointment here. read more

I first met Dr. Kirsten in the marina in SF, when she was still finding a home for her practice. I was referred to her because I was looking for someone who could support me in incorporating healthy nutrition into my life. From the moment I met Dr. K, I knew she was a fit for me. She was grounded, down to earth, warmth, very knowledgable, and just really walked the walk. She helped me identify my nutrition issues right away and just after the first session, I could feel a difference and knew her protocol of supplements was what I needed. After being in her care for the past two years, as my Network chiropractor and my holistic nutritionist, I am beyond grateful for her being in my life. She is just such a POWERHOUSE of a woman! It's not everyday that you find someone who knows what is going on in your body structurally and energetically (Network doc) and someone who can also know the chemical/fuel level of nutritional support (holistic nutrition). She is my GO-TO healer and my role model for how to help people. She has helped me transform my life so much that I am taking risks I never dreamed of! One example is that I have been a serious sugar addict for 27 years. Super serious sugar binger--lover of making myself feel sick for the sake of enjoying four cupcakes for the four minutes I'm eating them. But these habits haven't really affected my weight or health, so it's easy to disguise and not take change seriously. Through my work with her of becoming aware of who I want to become and how my habits help or hurt that, I am now able to commit to a lifestyle change. I am 3.5 weeks into a Candida diet--THE sugar detox--No fruit, no nothing. And through the rough spots, she's made herself available and never made me feel alone as I take on this huge personal change. I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for her influence, truly! I also must mention her generosity of heart and spirit. There are a lot of healers out there and everyone finds what is best for them. I need someone to trust and be open with and who can really meet me where I am and be present. She is naturally gifted at all those things. She is so positive and supportive yet always REAL. I couldn't ask for more. To prove my point: I drive from Palo Alto to Oakland every few weeks to see her. Just to see HER. So as you go on your search for healers and helpers, please check out Dr. K! She is not one to be passed up--she's too extraordinary and transformative! read more

Everything about my experience at Sojourn has been fantastic. I am a Chiropractor myself and have experienced many different approaches to the art. Dr K is about the fourth NSA doc that I have been to in the bay area. They have all been fantastic and I would recommend any of them to anybody but Dr. K is the one which I kept going back to on a weekly basis. When it came right down to it she was the Doc who saw me for who I was and created a space that I wanted to keep coming back to. The work was always right to the point and never failed to leave me with a greater awareness and sense of ease around my body and my life. read more

Sojourn Wellness is the place to be for sustainable healthcare. Do you keep going back to the Chiropractor for the same thing? Or do you really try to make changes to better your health (diets anyone?), but all the stuff you do doesn't stick and work for the long term? At Sojourn Wellness you will GET sustainable healthcare. Not just your health will start jumping to higher and higher levels, but your life will too. Our health is one (important I say!) reflection of our life. If our health sucks, our relationships probably have problems too, same with our career, finances, etc. At Sojourn Wellness with the wisdom of Dr. Kirsten you will be supported to take your health to entire new levels, along with your life. I personally have seen tremendous growth in my life under Dr. K's guidance and support. I am rare, I did not continue Network Spinal Analysis Chiropractic care with Dr. K to get rid of a symptom or get rid of pain; I got under care to take my life and spiritual growth to entire new levels. Under Dr. K's care I have received what I came for and so much more, the depth of her work is very profound. Dr. K is very warm, friendly, intelligent and REAL. She will not blow smoke up your behind, she will gently and kindly lead you and support you in any way that will take your health and life to new levels. My favorite super power ;) of Dr. K is that she can read my body language and many other cues like no one I have ever met. I appreciate this sooo much because Dr. K knows exactly what I need before I even know I need it! She is always 1 step ahead of me, not 2 steps. She really is a bright light that is lighting the way to a future full of abundance and joy. I can't thank Dr. K enough for the work she has done with me. I recommend you give Dr. K a chance to support you in your health or life. I have already referred my girlfriend and mother to Dr. K and keep bugging all my other friends and family to go see her. Good luck with your health and your life, it's meant to be expressed to it's fullest potential, you really owe it to yourself to spend some resources to take your health and life to completely new exciting and wondrous levels. read more

This review is for Adrianna. I recently started healing sessions with Adrianna. I love working with her. She is open, calming, full of knowledge and so magical. I hope to continue to see her through this journey that I am on and have her help with my healing and guide my way. The center is a beautiful oasis tucked away in Grand lake, I never would have known. I highly suggest having a visit with her if you need guidance, help and healing. read more

my journey with sojourn has genuinely been nothing less than magical. and when I say magical, I am not exaggerating. ACTUAL MAGIC. Magic that also feeds the skeptic in me, because the facts behind the care are practical, logical and the results are really the only proof you need. I started working with dr joie about 10 months ago, and my life has drastically changed for the better in so many ways. most of my experiences with chiropractors have usually left me with the feeling of 'these people are trying to take my money', but I entered sojourn as a broke 24 year old and they accommodated me so generously to what I was able to pay, it truly made me realize I was in the midst of true healers. I am 25 and no longer broke, and have an immense feeling of gratitude that I am now able to pay the regular price for my healing, because it's worth it! I didn't begin with this practice because I had any sort of ailment or back pain, but because there was a feeling deep in me that something needed to change, and that I needed help. sojourn showed up and did not hand me fish, but showed me that my spine is the fishing pole, and that most of the issues I was facing emotionally/mentally in my life had a lot to do with the tension/trauma that was stored in my spine and body. I have never been so in touch with myself, I have never been through so many rapid changes so fast; I'm doing things I never thought I'd be able to do. is this all because of sojourn? no. but have they helped me clear away a lot of unnecessary tension that's allowed me to make better decisions in my life? without question. Dr. Joie is a profound healer, one that holds you accountable for your own journey, and is attempting to have you see the healer within yourself. She cannot fix you, but she can show you that you have the absolute ability to heal yourself. I used to this form of chiropractic care to retrain my body away from my patterns of trauma and stress. at the beginning, it can be very subtle so I highly recommend you go a few times before deeming that it doesn't work for you; I went from barely moving on the table to stretching my body in positions I didn't think it could go. the work is gradual, and really is about lamenting lasting change; so patience, consistency, and faith are all key to getting the most out of this specific care. Also, Evan(probably spelled it wrong sorry!), Dr. K, and Dr. Joie are all awesome, and just such inspirational women to be around. and you can't forget about Griffin, probably the most potent healer I know, the office puppy! if you make it all the way to the bottom of this review, you should probably check these women out, you won't regret it! read more

Sojourn Wellness Center - Griffin! - Chiropractors Near Me - Oakland, California

Dr K, she is intuitive, kind, and a true healer. She helped me heal from a serious illness by teaching me which foods I was allergic to, I've had food allergies that caused me tummy aches my whole life. That went away when I stopped eating the junk I was allergic to. She guided me through a chemical/heavy metal detox with high quality products that I know I can trust, since I completely trust her. I was also instructed to take whole food supplements to help heal my damaged organs. I feel so much better. No more belly bloat, anxiety, or insomnia...Thank you Dr. K, I am blessed to have met you and your family. read more

As a chiropractic student who gets to explore offices quite a bit, I've chosen to trust my health into the hands of these two amazing ladies, and have not been disappointed. I started seeing Dr. J for entrainments, and steadily have been making breakthroughs (big and tiny) with not only my physical symptoms, but also my emotional self, in ways too profound to type up here. Dr. K has been taking care of me through nutritional work. All my life I've been anxious, suffering from constipation, dealing with irritable skin, and painful bloating. After just a month or so with Dr. K, I'm full of energy and feel restored and resilient. Between the entraining and the nutrition, I've got my old self back -- only, it's been so long, that it feels like a new self :-) These two ladies are healers in the deepest sense of the word; they listen, they care, and they have amazing taste in decor. Plus their dog is to die for. I feel so grateful that my path led me to them, and my boyfriend thanks them as well for not having a crazy stressed out girlfriend anymore. Highly recommend!!! read more
