I saw Aria in 2019. I went in complaining of stomach issues and constipation. Right away she…read moresuggested that I change my diet to Paleo. I was resistant as I have already taken so much out of my diet, but Aria assured me it would help. Honestly as someone who is a little fat I felt that she pressured me into it. It wasn't fun, but I did try it. Right away I felt terrible, so I emailed her. She told me this was normal and it would get better. The acupuncture was helping it but when I didn't see her my digestion went back to bad. After this I stopped seeing her as she went on leave. Unfortunately I followed this advice for years, thinking it would "fix me." I have since then learned this was terrible advice, as I have IBS. When I tired to each Paleo, I removed all of the grains from my diet and then added a lot of inflammatory vegetables. This was NOT the correct diet for me. I am now on the Low FOD-MAP diet and am better than I have been in years! Let me be clear acupuncturist ARE NOT DIETITIANS. DO not follow her diet advice. I did email Aria in the past year and ask why she would give me this advice. She did not take responsibility for giving me the wrong advice. I found her response very disappointing. She did not seem to understand how much this advice hurt me. If you have IBS or any digestion issues please see a registered dietitian and your doctor. It took me years of pain to get here.

How glad am I that Acupuncturist Alyssa Melody has returned as Yin Rituals, in Arcata, California,…read morein Northern California. I have received effective pain management and immune system reinforcement care in a beautiful, peaceful, centralized location on the Arcata Plaza, in downtown Arcata. At Yin Rituals, care can be provided individually or in a community acupuncture setting, which is more traditional care for folks to benefit in the healing environment of others undergoing treatment. Community acupuncture is also a way to bring down the price of acupuncture for more access to care. Alyssa will walk folks through the process for first-timers. Rest assured, confidentiality is still adhered to for community acupuncture and modesty is respected (no undressing necessary--just sleeves and pants rolled-up or arrive in tank-tops and shorts for ease of access). Practitioner Alyssa, LAc, MS, is not only an acupuncturist, but also a Chinese Medicine herbalist with a line of Roots & Bone products that can complement acupuncture care. Here's an article about Roots and Bones, the herbal company: https://www.humboldtmade.com/roots-and-bones. I have tried many local acupuncturists, over the years, but have received the most successful care in Alyssa's gentle, experienced hands and peaceful demeanor. It's time to schedule another wellness appointment on the on-line/app option now available for this regular.

After seeing Dr. Anna regularly I was able to recover from my derby injuries much faster and she also helped me with my chronic neck tension and lower back pain. She is also very thoughtful, kind and funny. Not to mention extremely thorough and non-judgmental! Also, there are cute dogs in her office and a lovely front desk person to assist with all of your paperwork and appointment needs. They don't accept insurance but do offer discounts for students and folks who do derby (maybe other sports too). I would highly recommend her!

My initial appointment was about an hour. Her space is clean, welcoming and healing. So conveniently located downtown in the Machine Works building. I highly recommend Sylvia if you've had any chronic or mysterious pain. There is a good chance she can help. She doesn't really have long term clients as she is able to make massive changes with few appointments. We are fortunate to have this incredible solution-based pain reduction therapy in our community!

Disappointed! I'm…read morenot one to leave reviews, but Dr. Nathan Webb did not leave a good impression with me. It was my first visit with him as a new patient at Center for Natural Medicine, and I had to take off work to make the appointment, after waiting for weeks. Due to my busy day at work and traffic issues, I was 7 minutes late to my 1-hour appointment. I brought all the necessary paperwork that had been emailed to me and it was filled out prior to my arrival. I was ready to go when I walked in. Dr. Webb then handed me more paperwork to fill out after I arrived. I'm now repeating the same information onto more forms for the third time, which I've already stated twice before on the previous forms. After filling this paperwork out and handing it to Dr. Webb, we're now 15 minutes into my 1-hour appointment and he tells me he's not going to see me and that I'll have to make another appointment (weeks out) because it's too late. I explained to him there's plenty of time left to get done what we can and that I'm also a busy working professional with responsibilities and obligations, and I did the best I could to get there on time. I provided all the completed paperwork that had been emailed to me. He did not care. He said "Bro, you were late..." I explained to him that, at this point, we still had 45 minutes left. Again, he refused to see me. I explained to Dr. Webb that I was obviously upset, after having waited for weeks and taken the time to fill out all the forms, then take off work, rush to drive 13 miles to his office, and then be denied medical treatment when my time was still scheduled and available. His response was a calm and condescending, "You don't have to come back." After an already busy and difficult day, that was the last thing I was prepared to hear. In the end, it's his business and he can choose to treat people however he wants and deny service if he so chooses; however, I found it unprofessional and lacking empathy for a community he says he seeks to serve. Apparently, Dr. Webb doesn't need the business.
