I started seeing Amanda after my OB/GYN and RE told me that I had less than a 5% chance of getting pregnant - even with IVF. My AMH was less than 0.05, which is basically zero. I started reading books about adoption. And a mere two months after I began seeing Amanda, I got pregnant! And stayed pregnant.

I can't recommend Anchor Acupuncture and particularly Coreen highly enough. I started seeing Coreen on a regular basis after several years of struggling with fertility issues (5 rounds of IVF yielding only 1 embryo, 1 miscarriage). In addition to acupuncture, Coreen worked with me to modify my diet and overall health in an effort to improve my egg quality. She taught me how to better understand and predict my cycle and was incredibly kind and nurturing through a pretty stressful time. I always left the acupuncture sessions feeling relaxed and supported. I also saw Amanda on a couple of occasions

I’ve been seeing Coreen for sports injuries and overall well-being acupuncture. I improved a lot since the first session, Coreen is not only great at her work but she’s so caring and detail oriented that she’ll look at the smallest thing that could possibly help you get better. The place is also beautiful and calming , highly recommend, especially if you have a stressful life!

I have no idea how it has taken over 2 years to write this review. Every time I leave their office, I vow that I will write a review professing my undying love for these two but I am generally too blissed out to think about proper punctuation.
I have been working with both, Coreen and Amanda, since 2019. I initially started working with Anchor Acupuncture during my fertility journey. I have now worked with them through the death of my Mom, an awful hip/back/neck episode, headaches, stress/anxiety and some terrible asthma flare-ups. I always feel validated and cared for when I leave my treatments

Amanda is amazing! I had been dealing with years of gastrointestinal issues that were increasingly impacting quality of life. After undergoing a battery of tests and lots of poking and prodding with specialists who were pushing for an invasive next step. I decided to give acupuncture a try before committing to another procedure. After just 3 sessions with Amanda, I was doing much better, and now, at the 6 month mark, I genuinely feel like I have my life back. I've recommended her to so many friends and colleagues with chronic issues already this year!

I had lingering sciatica pain as a result of a herniated L4/L5 disc. After one session with Amanda, I felt instantaneously better & my pain decreased significantly (about a 5/10 to a 1/10). I proceeded to see her several more times for routine checkups / fixes & now my pain is completely gone. I had tried multiple ways to improve my pain including a serious PT regiment, but acupuncture & cupping were the main cures. Anyone I know that has similar issues, I refer to Amanda; she's incredible, listens intently, and is dedicated to getting her patients back to normal. I'm incredibly

I can't recommend Amanda highly enough. I have struggled with period irregularity, severe bleeding, and pain and inflammation as a result of endometriosis for nearly 20 years. I started seeing Amanda to help us prepare for conception, which I knew was going to be a struggle. Amanda is a compassionate care-taker, a great listener, and a passionate advocate for women and their health.
Amanda supported me with some adjustments to my diet, recommendations on stress management, and about a year of regular weekly appointments (and lots of herbs.) Within several months of her care my periods regulated

Prior to coming to Anchor, I had already been seeing another acupuncturist for months. We were having trouble conceiving our second child even though our first was easy as pie. A friend strongly recommended me to give Amanda a try, given the success she's had with her. I'm so happy and forever grateful I did! Amanda and Coreen are always calm and pleasant. They are always ready to listen to your concerns and worries. They take a customized, holistic approach in understanding your body's underlying needs physically and emotionally. I'm not sure how and what worked but after

This review is very long overdue. I cannot say enough great things about Amanda. I truly believe she is the reason I now have a beautiful daughter. I struggled with infertility for three years and I worked with Amanda for one and a half years. I had several rounds of IVF and coupled with my acupuncture sessions I know it is because of all the work I did with Amanda that finally led me to my goal. She is kind, compassionate, smart, and a great acupuncturist. If you have any kind of struggles with infertility or anything else please don't give it a second thought and see Amanda. She is by far

I am a cupping newb no more!!! Whoooohoo!!
A good friend of mine (aka my wellness guru) has been going to acupuncture and cupping appointments for YEARS now and always recommended it for tightness and pain in my neck and shoulders. I always said I'd try it, but never got around to it...but now enter Anchor Acupuncture and Wellness!!
I actually found them on Classpass because I was completely inundated with class credits from a 1 month stint of not going to Classpass classes..so rather than let them go to waste, my inner cheapsake yelled, kicked and screamed until I found a perfect wellness

Amanda is God sent to us! We tried to have a baby for 2 years with one year of infertility treatments. We had done 3 IUI's but none of them worked. Being 36 years old time was running out and we jumped on to do IVF. Two egg retrievals resulted in 5 2 days embryos and none of them took. We were heartbroken. Then we thought of giving Acupunture a shot before jumping into another round of IVF. My husband went on a mission to find the best acupuncture in Bay area and he stumbled upon Anchor Acupunture's yelp page and after going through the reviews we decided to go meet Amanda. We liked her

Coreen Gutierrez at Anchor Acupuncture is my secret weapon! I began seeing Coreen when I was still fairly new to acupuncture and she made me a true believer. Now any time I am feeling the slightest twinge of a sore throat or cold coming on, or if I'm just feeling plain run down, I immediately head to Coreen. Her treatments build me back up and her recommendations of herbs and tonics have me on the mend within a day. She is also the most compassionate and positive person you'll ever meet - you instantly feel at ease with her and know how she much she cares about you as an individual

Amanda Moler is the best support I received during my first pregnancy. I was looking for someone/something to help round out my maternity care and I started seeing her for acupuncture toward the tail end of morning sickness. She helped with so much more! She developed an entire treatment plan for me over the course of two and a half months - and the positive changes it made in my attitude, overall well-being, and future outlook is abundant. I am so happy I stumbled upon Amanda's practice and grateful for her encouragement and empowerment during this precious time.

I was in San Fran for a conference amd made an appt with Amanda Moler for persistent sciatica that I had been dealing with for years. I was unable to lift my foot to put my shoes on each morning. The next day after my appt I could lift m leg to put my shoes on. I was so impressed with her abilities. My most high recommendation for Amanda.

I could not have more wonderful things to say about Amanda and my experience at anchor acupuncture. After over a year or trying to conceive my doctor suggested I try acupuncture and a friend referred me to Amanda. Despite her being an hour drive away from me I gave it a shot and it was the best decision I ever made. I continued to go see her and now one year later I am 5 months pregnant with a baby boy! Her expertise of Chinese medicine is absolutely amazing. She is a wealth of knowledge and no question was ever off limits. Even after getting pregnant she has continued to be a fabulous resource

Amanda is not only a wonderful acupuncturist, but she is also a great mentor and advocate. She is such a kind soul and I always left my treatments feeling encouraged, optimistic, and more cared for than I had with other practitioners.
I started seeing Amanda on a weekly/bi-weekly basis and was amazed when only a month later I was able to shift from infertility treatments to 1st trimester pregnancy care.
I would strongly encourage anyone looking for infertility treatment, pre or postnatal acupuncture to seek out Amanda!

Amanda is so amazing and has made me an acupuncture convert. I recommend her to all of my friends for fertility nudges, pregnancy pains, miscarriage/post-partum recovery...all of it. I had an easy time getting pregnant with my first, but the journey was a little bit longer and unexpectedly bumpier the second time around. I didn't believe I needed the aid of Western reproductive medicine but felt that I could use a nudge from the East, even if the needles intimidated me initially.
Amanda is AMAZING--empathetic, a wonderful listener and so, so well informed. After our initial consultation

I highly recommend Anchor Acupuncture & Wellness. I saw Amanda to help me with fertility issues. When I tell people about her, I don't describe her as an acupuncturist. I say that she is a healer, because that is what she is. She seeks to understand what issues you are having and asks many questions about your health to arrive at the right plan for you. This plan goes beyond acupuncture to nutrition, body awareness and mental well being. She shares her advice, but never in an overbearing way. She shares it in a way that gives you power as a patient, which I really responded to. I came to Amanda

I've been working on and off with Amanda for nearly 5 years. She's one of the most thoughtful and compassionate wellness providers I've ever worked with. She always asks good, probing questions and is an equally good listener, adapting her technique based on your current health needs.
I sought out Amanda's services initially to address adrenal fatigue. She's helped me with her acupuncture technique, and she tailored the use of herbs and supplements to my needs. She also helped me improve my eating and sleeping habits. Her holistic approach to wellness taught me how to better care for myself.

I’ve been receiving acupuncture treatments from Amanda for close to 3 years. Amanda is able to quickly and intuitively identify and improve my health. She takes time to listen and support all aspects of my well-being and has an intuitive connection that helps me leave my treatments feeling balanced and relaxed. In addition to her sessions, she also helps continue care through specialized herbal recommendations and nutritional counseling. I am always recommending Amanda to friends and coworkers as she has truly improved my life in incredible ways. She is a true healer.

I'm so lucky to have found Amanda and have been receiving treatments from her! I I've started to see Amanda since the beginning of my pregnant in Feburary. I wanted to have a smooth pregnancy and make sure my body is at the best status for my baby, but was on the fence about acupuncture even though I heard it can help. After lots of research, I found Amanda, who has lots of great reviews on yelp as a female/fertility acupuncture expert and I decided to make an appointment with her. That's definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made! She is not only knowledgeable and talented at what she

Amanda Bilecki Moler is an amazing acupuncturist. She is very intuitive, kind, compassionate, and easy to talk to. A visit with her is like a little slice of heaven. I leave relaxed and calm, and feel better for days afterward.
She did a series of treatments to help me with various food sensitivities and allergies I had been suffering from that worked wonders. Later, I visited Amanda for help with my "unexplained infertility". I attribute both of my healthy pregnancies to her acupuncture work and her custom blend herbs.
I would highly recommend Amanda if you are looking for an acupuncturist

I can not say enough about Amanda's work. Words can not do justice to her gift and fertility knowledge. My husband & I have worked with Amanda for some time and she's literally helped in across the board. Everything from skirting surgery to delivering optimal results ahead of transfer.
