Danielle is my favorite acupuncturist in Grass Valley. I started seeing her because of reccuring tightness and shoulder pain. She's helped me recognize some patterns in my emotional state, too.

I moved to Nevada City from the Bay Area 4 months ago, it's been a great move but very stressful. Upon finding a new Dr here I found out I had some stress related medical stuff come up. I knew I needed help and I happened upon Danielle. She is insightful and very compassionate. I know I'm in the right place to get back on a balanced track. I'm so confident in her that I came home from my first appt and set an appointment for my husband so he can handle his aches and pains. He's an old athlete and he has lots of old injuries. I strongly recommend Danielle. read more

Danielle Boucher is such a gifted acupuncturist, as well as just an overall outstanding human--she's caring, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. She took care of my neck, shoulder, and back pain from a cycling accident I had, as well as my father's sciatica pain in his lower back. Highly recommend Danielle! read more

A colleague referred Danielle to me once I started experiencing hip pain from running. I'm incredibly thankful I decided to try acupuncture with her.

I've been seeing Danielle for a couple months now and have not experienced any hip pain since I started acupuncture. Highly recommend! read more

Danielle is a gifted and attentive acupuncturist. The Acupuncture Spot's location is beautiful, restful and clean. The atmosphere is very supportive and I look forward to my weekly visits.

I love her calm and supportive vibe! Highly recommend! read more

Having lived in SF over 20+ years and seeing the same acupuncturist I was worried about finding the right replacement in our new home. Thank goodness for Danielle! She's super attentive, intuitive, gentle and has a great approach. I was dealing with some repeated elbow pain and within about 7 visits she remedied the pain. Brand new office in a very quiet and clean space. I highly recommend seeing Danielle! read more

I have been seeing Danielle now off and on for a couple of years for knee pain, an ankle injury (peroneal tendonitis and ankle sprain), and insomnia. Each time I have come out of my appointment feeling better and experiencing less pain. Not only does she seem to always hit the right points, her bedside manner is great. Before each session she asks a few questions to see how you're feeling and if there is anything new that she should take into consideration before treatment. She's always warm, caring, and puts you at ease. A bonus - I always seem to get in a nice little nap with the needles. Her treatments have been a great complement to physical therapy. I highly recommend acupuncture, especially with Danielle! read more

Danielle came heavily recommended from a co-worker and it was an even bigger bonus that she accepted my insurance. So far Danielle has treated several nagging running injuries and couldn't recommend her enough. Since I started seeing her she has treated Morton's neuroma in my foot, Plantar fasciitis and nagging glute pain among other things. The eStim in addition to the acupuncture has been really effective as well. Location and hours work great for me and would recommend Danielle to anyone, especially any athletes dealing with sports related injuries. read more

I cannot recommend Danielle enough! I've experienced chronic migraines, shoulder, and neck pain for years. Since I started seeing Danielle, I have had dramatic improvements that all of the specialists and medications previously had never brought me. I thought migraines were going to be a regular part of my life and I was ready to just accept that as a fact however it's been over a year since my last true migraine and I truly credit Danielle with that. read more

Danielle's accomplishments so far: - Got rid of my sciatica that was caused from a bulging disc in my lower spine. - Helped me deal with my knee and back injury incurred while snowboarding. - Currently helping me deal with really bad knots in my back as I've started to exercise again. Pretty amazing. Been seeing Danielle for almost a year now. My go-to when I'm in pain! read more

I've been going to Danielle for over a year now and she is awesome! I have an autoimmune disease and I believe her bi-weekly treatments have really helped me remain stable. I used to suffer terribly from neck and shoulder pain (which is completely gone now!) and my digestive issues have improved. The treatments have also really helped with my mind/body support as stress is a really big trigger for my disease. On top of that, Danielle is so easy to talk to and the treatments are so relaxing and enable you to really let go and meditate. Sidenote: if you suffer from neck and shoulder pain, like I used to, I highly recommend cupping! read more

I promised a follow-up on my initial review and it's taken me 5 months to follow-up. Hint, I've been seeing Danielle and only missed sessions when I'm on vacation or traveling for work. My weeks without Acupunture therapy suck. She managed to do what 1 doctor and 2 physical therapists and 3 ergonomics specialists couldn't: manage my carpal tunnel syndrome. Along the way she's helped with back pain and IT band issues. On one occasion I mentioned that my BP was a little high that week. She did her thing and I had a 20 point drop in my blood pressure (something my mess had t managed) after 1 session and it's been maintainable. So yeah, this science-y geek guy who works in pharma is now a big fan of alternative medicine. Ms. Danielle, you're awesome! read more

I couldn't be happier with City Pulse Acupuncture. I had been struggling with a lot of mind/body issues over the past few years, and the work I've done with Danielle over the past 3 months has absolutely changed me for the better and helped immeasurably. I was a bit wary at first, because I had never tried acupuncture before and didn't know many people who had, but I spoke to Danielle about my concerns and she helped assuage them and walk me through the process. I felt INCREDIBLE after our first session, and since then my focus and mental clarity have strengthened and my moods and emotions are more manageable and calm. She's given me a major peace of mind, and our acupuncture sessions help realign my body and mind based on what I'm going through. Danielle listens acutely to what problems I'm having and walks me through the process, so I feel completely enfranchised throughout and aware of what's going on. It's been such a help to me, and I'm so happy to work with her and couldn't recommend her more highly! read more

I started going to Danielle after my first couple rounds of chemo for stage 2 breast cancer. I had never done acupuncture before and now I can't imagine my life without it. I would go twice a week, every week and it was my favorite part of the day. I attribute my work with Danielle to be the reason I was able to tolerate chemo so well and continue to work through all my treatments. She helped so much with fatigue, digestion issues and all the other fun stuff that comes along with chemo. If only there was a needle point to stop the hair loss :) Now that I'm cancer free, I still go to Danielle once a week for general well being and these appointments are still a highlight of my week. If you're thinking of trying acupuncture, do not hesitate. Danielle is as good as it gets! read more

Danielle is absolutely wonderful. I started seeing her several months ago after I had been dealing with chronic fatigue and inflammation, and since working with her I have experienced my energy levels increase significantly and my immune system starting to get stronger. As a bonus, I have noticed my PMS improving and my cycles becoming more regular. She is incredibly knowledgable about the human body and I have started really looking to her for advice and wisdom whenever I have a flare up or just need additional support. Plus, she is wonderful to work with - incredibly sweet, centered and down to earth. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Danielle is a very attentive and thorough practitioner, and I very highly recommend her. She has helped me in a number of ways including managing my sciatica, hypo-thyroid condition, and seasonal allergies. She provides a very warm and safe environment, with easy to follow procedures to protect you and her from COVID. read more

For those of you who are wondering- No, acupuncture doesn't hurt. The needles are soooooo small, and Danielle has the most gentle touch. I have had the pleasure of seeing Danielle for a couple of treatments. Wow! I had no idea acupuncture could relieve menstrual cramps! It was immediate! I have had effective acupuncture over the years but I hadn't noticed this benefit until my most recent treatment. I always received acupuncture for seasonal allergies and sinus infections- I have since been completely cured of my seasonal allergies through the wonder of acupuncture! This last treatment was a seasonally appropriate treatment for releasing grief. I went through a breakup a couple months back and have been working through a lot of emotions. After my treatment with Danielle I magically found the motivation to clean and organize my post breakup house and what a glorious experience! Thank you Danielle- you will be seeing me again, and again read more

Danielle is the best! I came to her with chronic back pain stemming from a pinched sciatic nerve that I thought NOTHING was going to help. I had tried community acupuncture, physical therapy, ice, heat, stretching, staying off of it, exercise, literally everything. I've completed about 5 visits and already see a notable difference in pain and stiffness. Not only is the pain improving, but it's easily become my favorite part of the week because the sessions are so relaxing. The Acupuncture Spot is extremely affordable compared to similar practices and you get so much bang for your buck. Danielle really listens and tailors your plan to the issues you're dealing with, which is something you just can't find with community acupuncture. Would recommend 10/10! read more

I've been seeing Danielle for almost 2 years now, through IVF/infertility treatments and now pregnancy. When my insurance changed last year, I stayed on and switched to paying out-of-pocket in order to continue treatments with her. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, personable, caring, and a huge part of my overall mental and physical health program. I highly recommend her to anyone working to build their family! read more

I went to Danielle seeking treatment for neck pain, headaches and sleep issues and emerged with less symptoms and a better disposition. As a former skeptic of chinese medicine, I entered Danielle's practice with a bit of a hesitation but Danielle's demeanor put me completely at ease. In addition, the herbs she recommended were very helpful - getting me and my partner through a very tough cold season. She also offers cupping which is a great way to help with the neck and back pain. I feel very lucky that I had a such a great experience as an acupuncture virgin! read more

Danielle is very knowledgeable, kind and professional. My wife has been trying to get me to see an acupuncturist for years, but I kept putting it off. I finally went in to see Danielle, and I am so grateful. She has helped me with pain in my back and sleep issues. I am thrilled that she is now in Oakland - I don't have to keep driving all the way to SF to see her! read more

I've been receiving acupuncture treatments from Danielle since she first began her training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, so it's no surprise to me that's she's become such a well-respected practitioner. I'm a self-proclaimed needlephobe, and I can confidently say that if you struggle with the idea of receiving acupuncture, Danielle is your gal! Her needling style is gentle yet extremely effective. Danielle helped me trough various health complaints during my time as a stressed out student. Beyond her skillful needling and herbal knowledge, her friendly, inviting demeanor is a breath of fresh air. It's always a pleasure, Danielle! read more

My first time getting acupuncture. The vibe at the office was great and it was sooo relaxing. I've already been back a few times. Try the cupping as well. read more

Every time I come out of an appointment with Danielle I feel as if I've taken a whole day of self care. I had never experienced Acupuncture before coming to Danielle and she was great in helping me understand what it's all about. She makes each session very comfortable and caters to what you want to work on because she really cares about your well-being. She is very knowledgable and goes beyond what I can ask for to help me understand what's going on in my body. My immune system has taken a huge boost and I finally feel like my hormones are balanced. read more

I was having debilitating stiffness and pain in my neck so I made a same day appointment at City Pulse with Danielle. Lucky me. Danielle a consummate pro who takes a full account of your medical history before recommending any treatments. After two comprehensive treatments that included needles and cupping I felt like a new man. I'll definitely be back whenever my finicky neck and back act up read more

Danielle has been my acupuncturist for the last 2 years. I started seeing her in 2015 for a pinched nerve on my neck that was causing pain to radiate down to my arm and hand. Each session with Danielle brought me pain relief and helped me gain movement on my shoulder and upper body. I have also seen Danielle for general well-being sessions, cupping, and herbs. She is very thorough in assessing the client and explaining the treatment plan. I am very grateful for her treatments. She is a great practitioner and has a wonderful and calming presence. I highly recommend her. read more

Danielle is amazing. She helped me significantly reduce the noticeable affect of irregular heartbeat (stress related heart palpitations, in the form of PVC or premature ventricular contraction). I run a fast growing, stressful company and have tried everything to get rid of the PVC: yoga 3x/week, no caffeine (at all), no alcohol, plenty of sleep, meditation, etc. I've had these symptoms for nearly 4 years. It only took about 3 months of weekly treatments to see a significant reduction of symptoms, and there are many weeks now where I don't notice it at all for days at a time. Thanks Danielle, you rock! read more

I used to have extremely irregular periods, but after just a couple months of treatment, I was back to a normal cycle. Danielle always made me feel at ease and gave me herbs to help with other issues I was having. If you want to invest in your health in a holistic way, I highly recommend going here. Money was tight for me but the acupuncture treatments and herbs were worth every penny since it improved my health. read more

Since going to City Pulse, and working with Danielle, my pain is all but gone and quality of life has improved exponentially! I was new to acupuncture and she walked me through the process, explaining and answering all my questions in a very knowledgeable manner. Danielle was very welcoming and provided a professional experience- she knows her stuff! read more

I have been seeing Danielle for a little over 2 months for digestive issues and acute pain in my throat and chest. Before this, I was an acupuncture skeptic, but she has made me a believer! Her sessions have helped to reduce my pain immensely, and my digestive issues have also seen great improvement. She's also very well versed in health and wellness and has given me practical tips to further support my health goals. In addition, Danielle is a fantastic listener and really looks at your health from a holistic perspective.
