Acupuncture in Santa Barbara

“I cannot recommend this place enough. I came in with a severe migraine during pregnancy after trying everything. Since I’m pregnant, my options were really limited and I was honestly miserable. I didn’t fully believe acupuncture would work, but I was desperate.

Dr. Mariko completely changed everything. She placed a needle in my temple and my migraine was gone. Like… completely gone. It felt life-changing.

She also sent me home with ear seeds, which I love because I can keep getting relief even after leaving.

I am beyond grateful and will forever recommend her to anyone dealing with migraines—especially if you’re pregnant and feel like you have no options.“

“I worked with Terra, using acupuncture and acupressure w/magnets before and after jaw surgery to help support my recovery. I of course can’t compare to if I hadn’t worked with Terra, but I do feel revitalized after every session and my healing has been going very smoothly. I also have noticeably diminished overall stress and anxiety after each session (lots of stuff about jaw surgery recovery creates low key background stress). I hadn’t worked with the magnets before but I definitely feel like they’re contributing to the overall improvements.

And as a person Terra is warm, calm, supportive, and easy to engage with. If you’re considering, I’d say try a session for sure.“

“I have been seeing Vishal for shoulder pain and back tension. He's excellent at identifying pain spots in the body that are not within my immediate awareness. And while he does address symptoms, he's ensures that he treats all of you: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Ultimately, I feel loads better!“

“Caroline is more than just a professional with excellent expertise and knowledge on acupuncture - she is a true healer. I have been seeing her weekly for a year and my quality of life has greatly improved seeing her weekly. If a take a break for a week I notice a difference. She is also so kind, attentive, and her quality of care is exceptional.“

“Matt is a fantastic healer. My shoulder hurt so much lying down that I could no longer read in bed. One acupuncture treatment from him was all it took and I can now read in bed. I now go in occasionally for a tune up or for various aches and pains. Matt's acupuncture treatment is more effective and soothing than a massage. I enjoy my time with him because he is professional, experienced, and caring. I cannot recommend him highly enough.“

“Jacquelyn is compassionate and very kind. I have been seeing her for around a year and her acupuncture has been very helpful for my migraines and inflammation. I feel she genuinely cares for my wellbeing and does everything she can to support my health.“

“Lori is the absolute best - I wish everyone could see her. She is so gentle, kind, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. I've seen her for a few years on various things, and am always amazed at how much better I am after her sessions. She truly has the magic touch. I could not recommend her more highly.“

“Minka and Kenneth are both incredible. I am pain free after a session with Kenneth for a 10 year back injury, and that has lasted 6 years. I continue to see Minka for relaxation/stress relief and hormone balancing. The herbs are amazing. Highly recommend this practice. The team is incredible!“

“Dr. Holt is the most knowledgeable, thorough chiropractor you'll find. I've had chiropractic care in Montana, California, and Nevada. I live in Nevada now, and if I could afford to go back and see him regularly, I would. He's helped me with my back, wrists, and even my breathing. I'm a dentist who plays a lot of tennis. You will not find a better chiropractor than Dr. Holt.“

“I have been seeing Jonathon for over six years. He has always been able to address my concerns. He is an important member of my wellness team. Needless to say, I highly recommend his practice.“

“My young daughter is in the beginnings of puberty with some hormone fluxes. Emotionally trying times for mother daughter relationship. She was quite nervous about acupuncture and the thought of needles being placed in her skin but Shana did an amazing job calming and comforting her and the treatment was incredibly effective in balancing her. Thank you Shana!“

“Excellent massage and acupuncture therapist. Other modalities, including herbs and cranial sacral.“
