Anya's learning began in early childhood with a passion for healing wild plants, mushrooms and berries. Her first teachers were Siberian Shamans who showed Anya (then 14 years old in Kiev, Ukraine) how to use herbs, energetics as well as acupuncture points. Since 1992 (when Anya immigrated to the US) she studied extensively with many distinguished masters.
From my heart, I'm honored, impassioned and looking forward to sharing this year's journey exploring the natural teachings of the medicine wheel. My journey started in my youth, being with, and learning from, the plants and herbs I was surrounded by-magic teachings of nature and kind spirits.
This, along with overcoming many physical challenges, I listened to and was led to follow a life of studying, exploring and understanding the healing potentials we each have within that are waiting to spring out like a sprout coming from a seed full of potential and what the possibility-once it's exposed to the sun-our journey might hold for us.This year long journey/course is coming from a weaving together of all I've embodied to this point.

Anya is an excellent healer. She read exactly what was the root of my health challenge and even found the center of the physical pain in my body. She went right to it and was able to reveal the root to me after many years of seeing a wide variety of medical professionals. Anya is amazing. She is very perceptive, knowledgeable, kind, compassionate, and generous. After my consultation and acupuncture session I immediately felt relaxed and better. I look forward to going back for treatment and health guidance. The herbs that she prescribed have also worked wonders.

Anya is an intuitive healer that listens intently to what is going on with me. She gets to the root cause of what is going on with my well being on a mental, emotional and physical level. She's made such a difference for me in my life where other modalities have failed. I've become so much more grounded in my ability to heal myself holistically since working with Anya.

I am a somatic psychotherapist in Palo Alto and Berkeley. I first came to Anya last year to work on my hormones. I had been to many acupuncturists but Anya is a true healer. And she has created a healing space in the midst of Silicon Valley. Yesterday, I saw her again. It's not necessary to tell her a lot because she is so intuitive that she knows right away what needs to be done. She felt my body with her hands and right away went to my gallbladder which has been causing me trouble. After a wonderful acupuncture session, she also gave me a Gua Sha massage for pain in my neck and back. I felt

I am not usually one to leave Yelp reviews, but after seeing even one bad review of Anya I had to come her to defense.Maybe the girl who wrote the bad comments just got up on the wrong side of the massage table I mean bed or better yet she went to the wrong address altogether. CAUSE THIS ISN'T THE ANYA'S PRACTICE I GO TO REGULARLY Jennifer's comments could not be further from what I have experienced countless times in my sessions with Anya
Anya has been a savior to me for quite some time now for my elbow pain and life stresses. I went to doctors, physical therapist, and nothing

Anya's practice has had an immense impact on my life. Yes, she does acupuncture but she's a healer in so many other ways. I've learned not only about meridian flows, nurturing foods for various conditions and to improve general health, numerous herbs and their healing properties as well as discovering my own healing abilities. Anya doesn't just treat the symptom, whatever it may be. She genuinely wants you to be well...body and mind. But she asks that you participate in the healing process - there are no magic wands here and that's what makes her so authentic and so

My manager told me about this place and I respect her opinion, so I gave it a chance. I really wanted to like Anya. I'm not sure if Anya was having a bad day, but I definitely did not feel comfortable around her. I did not get the sense that she was genuinely concerned about me. I used the term "period" for menstrual cycle and Anya was obviously annoyed and went on a long tangent about how it is not my "period". She actually made me feel very inferior and intimidated. My opinions were dismissed and I felt like a child that has just been scolded at. Yes, I'm sure she

Anya is a way more than an acupuncturist. She is a very powerful teacher and life guide. Anya's understanding of herbs, both western and Chinese, is of a depth that is extremely rare. She has taught me endless ways to heal conditions mental, emotional, and physical using herbs.
Anya uses not only needles but other forms of healing body work techniques she has learned along the way to help her patients, which are really unique and I enjoy. She takes all the time you need to listen to what is going on and to ensure that you leaves feeling better.

Anya is solid.
She embodies grounded holistic healing from her heart with the precision of her mind and divine wisdom that moves her hands. I feel so much better. My understanding, awareness and health has improved clearly from tests I took before seeing her and after. Nicky, her office manager, a welcoming wise woman who's mere presence will keep you on track.This is where I heal body,mind and soul as one. If you want the real deal, join me, but don't take my spot!!!
