Acupuncture in Berkeley

“I had an amazing experience with Barbara today. My facial was out of this world and the Eminence products are outstanding! I told myself I wasn’t going to buy anything but how could I not? I bought the hibiscus ultra lift eye cream and the bamboo firming fluid. In hindsight I wish I purchased more but I can do so online. I live in NY and have had many many facials but I would rate this in my top 5! Thank you Barbara.“

“I love Kaizen, Dr Katie Bastable is an exceptional body worker that I cannot recommend enough! I started seeing Dr Katie while I was pregnant with my first child, and she helped my hip, pelvis and rib pain immensely. Being able to feel comfortable the last few months of pregnancy was such a relief, and I continue to see Dr Katie after my pregnancy as well. Thank you thank you thank you!“

“Hands down the best acupuncture clinic in the area. I tried out several while narrowing down on a clinic for regular acupuncture, and this place is rigorous, thoughtful, technically precise, and comprehensive in their services. I’ve been places where they just stick some needles in and let you lie there; this is not what it’s like at AIMC. It’s more of a full-body tuning service, carefully tailored to your specific needs, and I always walk out feeling like I’m floating on air. I see Atsuko and would highly recommend her. She is exceptionally thorough, caring, and an expert of her study.“

“I’ve been working with Deanna for the past 7 weeks and have had a deeply transformative experience in just a short time. My sleep, digestion, blood pressure and mood have all improved significantly. I look forward to these sessions and working with Christina on the upcoming annual detox in April. 10/10 recommend.“

“Can’t recommend this place enough. It’s like going to an emotional recovery spa but without the least bit of hokey. An authentic oasis to receive thoughtful and deep care.“

“John Luna Sparks expertly diagnosed my condition, treated me in three sessions, and the positive results have improved my daily life and restored my energy and ability to work immensely. I highly recommend this personable and CTM medical professional.“

“That has got to be one of the most incredible massages I’ve ever gotten! I didn’t have to tell her anything, she found all the knots on her own and firmly and specifically worked through them. Knots that I haven’t been able to get out in years!“

“Very fine service provided with care and respect. I have been receiving the benefit of John Kokko's talent, knowledge, and skill for over 10 years with much gratitude.“

“Wouldn’t miss the opportunity to go to whole family acupuncture. My back, hips, neck were really bothering me. Not anymore. Amazing service“

“I appreciate the availability that the clinic has for last-minute and regular appointments. The sliding scale is very accessible. The space is warm and peaceful and spacious, even just knowing that it exists is a balm.“

“I did dry needling sean is super thorough and does his absoloute best to help his patients“

“Unlike any acupuncturist I’ve seen, Juliana heals on so many levels—the physical, energetic, ancestral, and more. I also feel so comfortable in her presence bringing whatever is arising, and I always walk out feeling light than air. I am so grateful to have found her, and only wish I had earlier!“

“I've known many acupuncturists and herbalists. Shoshana has been my go-to for years now. Her herbal formulas and needling are effective and her knowledge is extensive. I'm pretty sensitive, but she's attentive, understanding, and calming. I look forward to my treatments and walk out feeling better than when I arrived. She's also treated my kid at various times over the years, showing them the same kind of calm and kindness that she gives to adults.“

“This place is such a gem! Everyone is so kind and intentional with their care. My pain has been significantly reduced and the sessions have never been too much for my body. I’ve been to several acupuncturists in the bay and this place by far is the best ? so thankful for them!!“

“Dr. Hana has been my PCP for over five years, and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. He harmoniously balances holistic medicine with modern Western medicine, providing thoughtful, personalized care. The clinic is beautiful, conveniently located, and supported by a great practice. Highly recommend!“

“Michael is one of the best, most knowledgeable Acupuncturists I’ve experienced. I respect him and appreciate how he shares what he is doing so that I can embody the treatment. I highly recommend him. ??“

“Charles has taken care of me whenever I've needed acupuncture for many, many years. He's helped injuries heal. He's helped my nervous system regulate in periods of overwhelm. Just today I saw him because I had a bad fall yesterday and needed some overall support for healing. He's such a gentle man and an expert at what he does. Highly recommend. He has a sliding scale and is priced very reasonably, generously so.“

“I've received traditional acupuncture sessions for 50+ years from a variety of acupuncture providers in Bay Area, and at last and none too soon, I discovered this superb and experienced acupuncturist! Her office is comfortable, clean and professional, scheduling with a receptionist in the office. Nancy herself is older and wiser than other acupuncturists-she just knows where to put needles after understanding what you need/want in a brief q and a health conversation. She "gets it" and gets to work! My primary reason for this review of Nancy's practice is Nancy-non-judgmental, very caring and experienced, she listens, providing the best possible outcome of presented issues. Also, she doesn't try to sell you herbs, teas, treatments that so many less experienced try to include. Just the basics with compassion, simply and powerfully, reasonably priced.“

“Dale has played a big part in healing two sports-related injuries. He's extremely knowledgeable and equally friendly, and I'd recommend him to anyone recovering from pain/injuries.“

“Abigail is a genius, a gifted healer, an encyclopedia of nutrition, Chinese medicine, and overall health. She listens carefully and with empathy, then uses her vast knowledge and next-level intuition to treat you and design a program for you if you want one. She refreshes and deepens her knowledge by digging in to your specific issue, often finding new resources to send you after your visit. She never gives up, no matter how elusive or mysterious your challenges.

I came to Abigail because I was so run down and my immune system was reacting all fall and winter long, every year. I had blood sugar and adrenal issues. I was exhausted.

I'm amazed to say I now don't get sick any more often than the average person. I generally sleep well and most of my blood sugar issues are gone. I no longer take adrenal supplements. And my energy is back.

Abigail also greatly reduced my (very) long Covid symptoms through acupuncture and nutritional changes.

She also helps me in the more traditional ways with pain relief when I have an injury or my chronic new problems are hurting me.

I would not have thought it possible that a practitioner of any kind could help me with my mystery problems. But Abigail is very very special. I can't recommend her highly enough.“
