Janet Thomson Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine

As caring a person as I have ever met. Dedicated, focused, and talented. I highly recommend Janet.

As a fellow heath coach, and someone who has struggled with their own pain and have seen mannnnnny people for help...

I really appreciated Janet's work!

My back feels noticeably better. Janet is also very thorough and knowledgeable, separating herself from others in the field.

I will recommend her to my clients :)

Janet has a beautiful mixture of knowledge and artistry. She is warm and welcoming and really easy to talk to, and she really listens. She is also very technical and really listens to the pulses, and from that she very great treatments, herbs and lifestyle recommendations that really make an impact on your health. Highly recommend!

I had the most wonderful experience here. Janet performed an acupuncture treatment for my shoulder and gut. I felt so much relief in my shoulder, really loosened up the mechanics and nerve issue I been dealing with that flared up during COVID. She pays so much attention to the background and really seemed to scope into the shoulder issue as well as provided me solid insight on how to alleviate my ongoing bloating. I highly recommend her.

Janet is just amazing. Hands down one of the nicest and most caring health care professionals. She really takes the time to understand what you're going through and how it's affecting your life.

Janet is wonderful acupuncturist and friend. She is knowledgeable, kind, inspirational, and truly gifted at what she does.

She was able to help me in so many areas. My lower back has had constant issues. Through her practice, Janet brought not only instant relief, but relief that lasted. She also helped me with menstrual issues along with helping me deal with stress.

I would highly recommend Janet to assist you with anything that your dealing with.

After an eternity of hyper behaviour, my son was diagnosed with ADHD. The drug prescribed to treat this condition was mainly Speed. This drug did not help as the side effects wreaked havoc with his moods and overall well being.

Enter Janet Thompson. Her care and empathy immediately put my son at ease, and within the first treatments he began to calm down; he is still under periodic treatment, and I look forward to when he does not need Adderall anymore.

Janet has a deep and extensive background in medical research and academics, and she incorporates that background into her acupuncture and

I recently brought my three month old son to Janet for a health tune-up. He doesn't have any major problems, but has some phlegm at night that we've been hoping to improve, but hadn't found any answers. I didn't really know what to expect from the treatment - but my son seemed to love it! She was so great with him, and used gentle tools to perform acupressure and massage over the majority of his body, which he seemed to really enjoy. She also showed me a useful back massage that I can do at home with him. The night of the treatment, his phlegm seemed much better. We look forward

I sent my best friend to see Janet for some chronic issues. She uses Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to help her patients with a wide variety of ailments. I recommend that you consult with her if you are considering treatment, and she'll help you determine the best course of action.

I saw Janet for a variety of issues, including anxiety, migraine headaches, arthritic pain, high blood pressure, among other things. Her demeanor is so caring and warm, it's easy to relax and be honest about what's going on. She took a great deal of time to listen and get an in-depth understanding of my various complaints and I felt she really understood my issues. She was careful to create an herb formula specificially for me that would address my problems, but also would not interfere with medications I am taking. The herbs have been working so well, I can honestly say that I would not be feeling

Janet sent my anxiety packing. The herbs were magic and her treatment was pure bliss. She really listens to you and does a thorough intake. It was quite impressive. I look forward to more!

I was alway so curious about the acupuncture. I trusted all the happy reviews I saw about Janet's services, so I've decided to give it a try.

Janet's studio is in a great location with lot's of parking around. It looks very nice and cute inside and it also smells great! The tea that she made for me during my visit was the best!

Janet was so thorough and detail-oriented when asking me the questions about my problems and needs. The sessions are so relaxing and calming - I feel very chill and happy after them. She helps me to support my female cycles (she even gave me a special

Janet Thomson is the most attentive and gentle acupuncturist I've ever met. She also has an excellent follow up in between the consultations. What I really liked was that Janet took me through a detailed interview before proceeding with any treatment. This not only gave me ample opportunity to talk about my case, but also made me feel super taken care of. From the very first moment with Janet I felt so comfortable with the whole procedure, that before I knew it she had all needles in position (and I'm afraid of needles!). After a very relaxing session (I almost fell asleep), the effects

Janet embodies a loving, nurturing spirit. If you want to feel like you can sink into a warm, loving hug, I highly recommend Janet. I've been going to her for strengthening my immune system. The work that I do requires that I stay highly tuned emotional, physically, and mentally. Janet's acupuncture has increase my physical energy, and strengthened my immune system.
I've also taken my 16 year old son to her, to help him heal through an injury. I felt so listened to and acknowledged. He could feel the energy circulating through his system. He was blown away and how effective the acupuncture was

Janet Thomson is truly as good as it gets! She is warm and caring, gentle and thorough, knowledgeable and resourceful, and she provides extraordinary acupuncture services. She's helped me with primarily neck and hip issues, but I've walked out of my appointments feeling better all over, both physically and mentally. If I could, I would give her 10 stars!! She always follows up to see how you're feeling after your treatment, too, which is much appreciated. Her new office in the Temescal district of Oakland is such a perfect reflection of her spirit and her practice - natural, soothing

Janet is so smart, dedicated and talented. I saw Janet for several sessions to relieve tension and to help with sleep. I felt so relaxed when I came off her table and the effects lasted for many days. Janet even checked on me later that day via text. I've never had an acupuncturist do that before. I highly recommend Janet.

As a novice accupuncture patient I was a little nervous heading into my first session with Janet. By the time she completed the thorough health & symptom history interview with me I was ready & had forgotten my anxiety heading into the office.

Janet has a mellow yet inquisitive energy that is ideal for her work, & as a distinctly *non* morning person, I woke up the morning after treatment at 5:30am feeling energized & Whole in a way difficult to convey in words.

TLDR: Janet rocks ! Need an Acupuncturist, definitely come to Janet!

I have visited Janet a few times for her medical services to help me with hormonal changes in my early 40s as well as acute pain in my neck, shoulder, wrists and fingers of the right hand. Every single experience has been incredible from the first session. My initial evaluation was done with a lot of attention to detail and carefully and I felt safe and comfortable at her office right away. The treatment and follow up helped me regulate the liver and stomach imbalance I was experiencing. I then went to Janet for acute pain and found her treatments to give me a lot of relief and release particularly

Janet Thompson is an unbelievably gifted and caring practitioner. She's worked on both my chronically ill 93-year old mother-in-law for pain management, and on me for mysterious hives. Not only is her intake thorough, but her follow up is without equal. Her high reputation is well deserved.

I've been treated by Janet several times as has my wife. Janet is knowledgable, thorough, and extremely talented. She spends time with her clients to figure out how best to treat them. And I didn't even feel the needles going in! I highly recommend her.

Janet is hands down the most caring and exceptional acupuncturist I've ever experienced. She truly cares, she asks such detailed questions, she listens to the answers and then gives you care like no other. I feel so held and heard in her presence and then I receive the treatment and walk out feeling so much better than when I walked in. Its one of the best things l've started to do for myself. I started seeing Janet 5 months ago on a consistent basis to feel more integrated emotionally. I feel like I breathe better, I have more consistent energy, I feel calmer and have handled some significantly

I had my first session with Janet yesterday to talk about herbs for some serious issues I'm having, and she was amazing! She listened carefully, paid attention, and asked relevant underlying questions. Her manner oozes kind compassion, and her time seems almost fluid. There was no rushing through any part of the consultation and when we were done I realized she'd spent over an hour with me. Afterward, she said she spends time going over her notes and concentrating about what herbal formula will be best for my specific issues and will be delivering them soon. I can't wait to start

Janet is a very gifted acupuncturist. She asked me a variety of thoughtful questions to get started, and it's obvious that she really cares about helping people to heal and lead healthy lives. I felt great after my session, and I will definitely be going back.
