“I first came to Monica with a curiosity (and zero knowledge) of acupuncture, hoping that she could help me with my lower back pain. Working with Monica has turned out to be so much more, in what I can only describe as the start of a long journey to understand what my body has been trying to tell me this whole time (because as it turns out, the body really does keep the score). I’d recommend her to any friend with my whole heart.”

“Monica has been so wonderful to work with. She has helped me with plantar fasciitis to injury recovery, headaches, stomach bug relief and more. She is super attentive to your needs and gentle with her practice.”

— Nicole

“My recovery had plateaued after traditional physical therapy, and I was getting discouraged. Working with Monica has been a game changer. She really takes the time to understand your body and even researched my specific injuries to create a treatment plan tailored to me. Since starting acupuncture with her, I’ve noticed real improvements in sensation, mobility, and overall body awareness.”

“I've been seeing Monica weekly for months and I firmly believe her work has helped my stress related ailments, burnout recovery, healing from a surgery, and slowly bringing my body back to a balance.

She is the best bodywork practitioner I've ever seen. She takes the same amount of time to check in at my 10th appointment as she did my first. As uncomfortable as talking about your body can be, she is empathetic, non-judgmental, and easy to talk to. She's given me herbs and recipes that have been a great supplement to the acupuncture. I've seen a lot of progress and fully trust her knowledge.

Seeing Monica is the best part of my week. I recommend her to anyone who is curious about acupuncture and/or anyone who is looking for a practitioner who is a true caring, thoughtful, expert healer! Cannot recommend her enough.”

    — Amber

  • "I love Monica’s gentle approach to acupuncture. I grew up getting acupuncture back home in Asia, so I’m pretty accustomed to it. But Monica has made me feel the most comfortable of any session. She’s also so attentive, patient, accommodating, and genuinely wants all of her patient to feel like they’re taken care of and is all around a wonderful human."

  • "Truly an exceptional experience working with Monica. As a fat queer person of color, it was important for me to find someone who could see me as human, and treat me in a holistic way rather than with judgement or presumptions. Monica has exceeded my expectations with her kindness and wonderful skill set. I always feel safe and heard and seen in her hands, and am so grateful for this medicine."

  • "I came to Monica, because I injured my knee from roller skating. I thought my injury will solve by it self but each week it was getting worse. So I went to Monica, and unbelievably she helped me to heal my knee after 2 sessions."

  • "Monica is honestly a godsend for athletes and dancers. It was my first time ever receiving acupuncture therapy and I’m already looking into booking my next session."

    — Kevin

  • "I’ve always had a tough time falling and staying asleep. I was running on empty. During my session, I shared my sleep issues and some joint pain from dancing. Monica was able to pick up on old injuries and tension I hadn’t even mentioned. She has a calm, grounding presence that made it easy to relax. I actually got some solid rest during the treatment itself, and since being back home, I’ve noticed a real improvement in my sleep. "

  • "My first time getting acupuncture and I'm grateful it was with Monica. I was dealing with a lot of internal inflammation and fed up with doctors not giving me any solutions. Monica gave me the most comprehensive and thoughtful review of my health history to understand what was going on. She was patient, happy to explain, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. After 4 months, my symptoms have improved — I feel so much better. If you are looking for a place for acupuncture, look no further. Monica is incredible."
