Services
Before: To have the most comfortable and effective treatment make sure you are well fed and hydrated before each session; your body needs fuel to heal. This also means no caffeine or cigarettes at least an hour before. After: if you are being treated for physical injury or pain, move deliberately and symmetrically for at least 8 hours after session- this allows your nervous system to integrate the change.

I feel so grateful to have found Susan. Susan is very kind, friendly and compassionate. I was experiencing a lot of back pain and body numbness and pain. She conducted an assessment and reviewed her treatment plan with me which felt very supportive. I got cupping and acupuncture to relieve that tension. I am now back to my normal self feeling happy and sleeping like a baby. Pain free!!! Definitely recommend! Thank you

Wow Dr. Susan is amazing. Where to even begin? I was recommended to see her by a friend and was not disappointed. I have been experiencing muscle tightness in my upper back and I went to her for cupping. I was very pleased she used glass cups and not the weird plastic suction cups. Her office is beautifully decorated and she was very attentive to cleanliness. Great bedside manner! Definitely coming back.

I can't tell you how fortunate I am to have found Susan for my body work. She is kind, caring, and compassionate. When you are in pain you definitely need these characteristics. I have been to others for body work and acupuncture sessions and nobody compares to her. The placement of her hands and the modalities she knows how to use go above and beyond compared to others, I have been to in the past. She released so much trauma from body and got me out of fight and flight mode that was taxing my immune system. My body is much more relaxed and all my organs and gut health are functioning so much

I visited Susan at the recommendation of my chiropractor. He suggested she can help me with acupuncture and a lot of the digestive issues I had been experiencing. I instantly connected to Susan, she’s warm and inviting and above all incredibly helpful in explaining the different supplements she recommends for you. I drive all the way from Irvine to see her and I can say honestly it’s worth the time. Investing in my health at her direction has proven tremendous results. I no longer experience bloating and heightened menstrual symptoms. I even visited her after a very emotionally toxic break

Susan is an amazing healer who really listens to her patients, and she is incredibly open to feedback, which is sometimes rare with medical care. Also, she will go beyond the table and work with you on movements, stretching, and exercise routines to build on your therapy. If you are tired of feeling like a number in the “traditional” medical system, give Dr. Jeffries a call, I searched for over a year to find help with my back and basically got no where until I started working with Susan, and the results have changed my life and made me feel like I can manage my condition.

Dr. Susan Jeffries is one of the most talented practitioners I have worked with! I have seen her for numerous sessions and each experience has been unique and healing in their own way. I have never heard of Jin Shin Shytsu until I met her. It's a very warm, sometimes hot, healing method that compliments the acupuncture treatments that I receive from her. Every time I leave Susan's office I feel so relaxed and peaceful. I highly recommend her!

Susan is an amazing Doctor. I was hesitant to try acupuncture at first, but after our first session i felt so rejuvenated. I was very impressed by her knowledge and understanding of my needs. My session was thorough and healing. I can see why she comes so highly recommended. Looking forward to my next treatment!

I came to As Designed Wellness for a reoccurring shoulder injury. I had been recommended by a friend that the deep tissue massage and acupuncture were both great for the kind of injury I had. Susan treated me so well from the moment I walked into the building. I immediately felt relaxed and at home. The room was warm and smelt so good. Susan made sure she found out what I needed from the visit and worked on pressure points and pain management first, always explaining what she was doing before and during the process. It was also my first time getting acupuncture so I was a little nervous at first

I have been a client of Susan's for almost 4 years. She is knowledgable about how our whole body collectively functions. She has helped correct what is not working whether I need acupuncture, massage, jin shin jyutsu, or help with nutrition or sleep apnea. She has truly figures out how to heal whatever is ailing. I highly recommend Dr. Jeffries.

Suzie is an amazing Acupinturist. She has a passion for helping her patients heal and feel welcome. Her sessions are like a spa treatment. She is very gentle, her voice is quite soothing and she gives you massage during the session. She checks on you to make sure you're comfortable. She offers you tea and other refreshments after you're done. I like that the office is very clean and has a warm and cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend her.

Susan Jeffries is my go to gal for all things health and acupuncture! She is truly a magician. I have gone to her for everything from hormonal issues to kickstarting my labor for both my pregnancies. Not only does she care, she checks in on you throughout the week and makes sure you are getting the best care possible! I highly recommend her to everyone I know. She's the best!

I have been seeing Dr. Jeffries for a few years now for Crohns and arthritis. She is genuinely cares and put together a custom treatment program that helps me manage my conditions without prescriptions. She is always taking classes and stays up to date on the latest advancements. I couldn’t recommend her more. She also helped me through a complication free pregnancy.

I have been seeing Susan for a little over a month now and I LOVE the results. I tried almost everything that my doctor told me to try to regulate my migraines; I decided to go and give acupuncture a try. Susan gives such a calm, wholesome environment that it really makes you almost forget that needles will be going into your body! I was a bit nervous at first but after the first few minutes with Susan, I knew I was in very good hands. Now that I have gotten a few sessions, my migraines are basically gone. Susan really helped me get to figuring out what the causes of my migraines are and used both
