So glad I found Amy and her wonderful practice. So glad I don't have to see her very often as my back is so much better:-)
After experiencing extreme pain on two different occasions in the past year, Amy's diverse training gives her a perspective that crosses the worlds of traditional Chinese and herbal medicine with a contemporary twist that immediately provided me with relief. She has great perspective on how to appropriately suggest new changes to patients and promote their general well-being .
Hopefully my back will not explode again but if and when it does I know that Amy is close by in the Richmond. -

Amy's treatments have been amazingly helpful in keeping us healthy and energized. She has been especially helpful with digestion problems and general fatigue and increasing energy levels.
She has something extra special that keeps us coming back - it might be more love, more knowledge, more care, more expertise...? I don't know but her treatments have helped us keep going through very busy and exhausting times.
We see Amy so that we can thrive everyday! -

When I started seeing Amy about a 8 months, I had had little luck with western medicine creme for the Psoriasis which I had just developed as well as a bout with depression.
Within in a couple of months the spots that had covered my entire body had completely cleared up and my mood had been lifted. I was told this I would have to combat this condition with prescription-grade steroid creme for the rest of my life, but with just Amy's expert acupuncture, diet and herb recommendations I have it under control without the harsh drugs.
Not only has she been practicing for years, but she teaches acupuncture so it is no surprise she is familiar for all the various names of herbs and exceedingly knowledgeable about what points work with all different sorts of issues.
Finally the best thing about Amy is that she is innovative in her approach. She makes the time in the beginning of the appointment to really discuss your issues and how they have been handled up until that point, and then works different points and techniques. Its always exciting, whether it be a hot moxa box smoking mugwort on my stomach, electric pulses through certain needles, anti-smoking/drinking ear-seeds to keep on after treatment or even cupping on my back, I always feel relaxed and taken care of after my treatment. -

A few years ago I went to see Amy to treat an awful cough. I marveled at how acupuncture and Chinese herbs brought relief within hours. Amy is such a wonderful presence - very calm and peaceful. I liked her work so much that I see her once/month when she travels to Santa Barbara. She's worth my time and money!
