First of all, I want to thank you most sincerely for your wonderful work on my Bell's Palsy. It is now five weeks since my attack, and I am just about fully healed. Your work on my face is the primary reason for my incredible recovery (plus lots of prayers). I went into Community Hospital here with the physical symptoms that I had had a stroke.

Dr. Stephanie is truly amazing. She listens and has such a calming presence. I cannot believe how much better I feel after each treatment. The office environment is soothing and very welcoming. We address a myriad of issues from prepping for my covid booster, muscle aches, stress, headaches...She is a wonderful presence in my life and cannot thank her enough.

I suffered with really bad GERD, acid reflux, and stomach pains for months before seeing her. I limited my food to bland food and still had pains. I went to a gastroenterologist who did the standard care and gave me strong anti-acids that decreased the acid reflux but the pain was still there. After realizing that standard care was not working for me, I went to see Dr. Stephanie and thank god I did. She listened to my complaints, gave a course of action, and patiently worked with me and my freak outs when I thought things were not getting better. Three months of working with her, I am back to

Stephanie is amazing! She is one of the kindest, empathetic, and intuitive doctors I have ever been to. I had never had acupuncture before and she explained the process so thoroughly, and her energy is so calming, that I felt a calmness take over my whole body. The whole experience was fantastic and I am very excited for my next appointment. My body feels amazing! Thank you, Stephanie, and see you soon.

You are so lucky Monterey to have Dr Stephanie in your area. We were so lucky to have her in Encinitas for years and when I'm up in the area I go to see her. Her special blend of acupuncture, Chinese and natural treatments is the key to living well and in balance. And she's one of the smartest and nicest people I know.

Stephanie is a wonderful acupuncturist. I work as a licensed acupuncturist myself, and she has been my go to girl- I was very sad to see her move from southern California! She is gentle, caring, intuitive, and very attentive to the needs of her patients. She is skilled at addressing a wide variety of different issues, and providing the best treatment for each individual patient. Her care for her patients is very apparent with each treatment, and I always left her office feeling relaxed, energized, and overall very well cared for. I would refer friends and family to her in a heartbeat.

Stephanie is an excellent care provider, with her winning combination of kindness, expertise, intuition, empathy, and genuine care! I was struck by how intently she listened, and how much she remembered about what was going on with me over the year I saw her. She not only expertly treats her clients with acupuncture, but she stays with you the entire session providing neck, shoulder, head, jaw, hand, and foot massage. I often left our sessions feeling completely altered, free of pain and stress. Stephanie's warm smile and energy is the cherry on top of an excellent session, each time. I honestly

I've used acupuncture to relieve stress/anxiety, improve sleep, heal from car accident injuries caused by others of course, relieve headaches, zap sore throats, and treat cold and flu symptoms. I've seen 8+ different acupuncturists over the last 8 years and Stephanie is stand out exceptional. I'm partial to Stephanie since she is my wife and business partner, but I've experienced many treatments from others to know the difference. If you are looking for a well informed integrative practitioner you will delight in treatments by Stephanie. She truly is exceptional at her practice
