Blossom Acupuncture

Amazing experience! This was my first time getting acupuncture on my face and a Gua Sha facial with face cupping. I couldn't have been in better hands than with Serina! My skin looks phenomenal! The entire experience felt luxurious and so relaxing.

I've been seeing Serina for years, now, and working with her has been pivotal in my wellness journey. I can palpably feel her genuine care, love and excitement for her craft and for me as a client. The treatments I receive feel deeply nourishing, life affirming, and very affective in feeling more balance, ease, and flow in my body and system. I tend to be very sensitive, and she is able to set needles with such gentleness and precision- I never feel tension or a feeling of "too much" with her treatments. My experience is she is not simply following a protocol, but listening attentively to what my system needs in that present moment, each time I see her. She is especially amazing for all things women's health. What a gift! 100% recommend!

Receiving accuglow facial treatments from Serina has been a wonderful experience. After the treatment, I look more youthful and my skin glows. It feels so luxurious to receive her hands on care and then come out of it looking radiant. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to look and feel brighter or could use some pampering. Our regular acupuncture sessions have also been excellent for optimal functioning of my body and I feel the tension dissipate in my body during the session. Highly recommend!

I wasn't ... skeptical about acupuncture. But I wasn't necessarily expecting the profound results I had working with Serina.

Five stars may say enough.

But if you are skeptical. Or if you know about acupuncture and are looking for someone to work with in Santa Cruz, read on and I will share the reason I give five stars.

After enough years of living an adventurous lifestyle and the accumulation of injuries you earn and things that simply hurt. I shared the story and traumas of my body, current injuries and the injuries that never healed properly -- Knees that had seen three surgeries, hips that ache, but in particular I had a separated, shoulder from skydiving and a chronically sore Achilles tendon.

Long story short, between acupuncture and physical therapy, my shoulder is good as new. And I have forgotten to think about my ankle. But that is only where the healing begins.

With each session, Serina asked how I was, how my various aches and pains were doing. And along the way, as one who actively and empathetically listens, my divorce from two years ago came up.

It had been very traumatic, and I had been through tons of therapy and was dating. All good! But I realized that there was energy work that needed to be done for me to be fully able to be vulnerable again. Serina guided me through this.

I've learned an appreciation for what acupuncture can do. And I am so thankful for Serina's patient guidance along the way.

I've been seeing Serina since 2016 when I was completely overwhelmed by menopause. She was invaluable in getting me through those years which were sooo hard. I appreciate her calm, skillful and compassionate approach. When I go to see her I feel heard and confidant that I will get the help I need. I have been to other practitioners but Serina is the best by far.

I have been seeing Serina for facial Accupuncture for over a year now, and highly recommend!!!! Leaving the office, I feel so bright and refreshed on the inside and out. I appreciate how she takes a holistic approach, even though I leave with my face feeling great, it's really a full body healing experience. She bridges a spa experience with a deep expertise in eastern medicine. I'm excited for my next appointment :)

I've seen Serina over the last 6 years for various reasons, and have been so pleased with her caring and expert treatments. I initially saw her for post-partum support after my first child, and then to help me get ready to conceive baby #2 and with that second post-partum period. Her care helped me stay energized, aligned and strong through what are some exhausting years for a new mama! Over the years, we also treated various things like wrist pain and stress and sadness. Her treatments were super effective. She was key in helping me navigate these tender years feeling grounded and healthy. She's warm and truly cares about her patients. I highly recommend her.

Truthfully I didn't know what to expect when I started acupuncture, but I have always been interested, and Blossom acupuncture is my perfect fit! It has been a fantastic experience from the very beginning, and I enjoy every appointment. The environment is warm, soothing, and welcoming and Serina is outstanding and so so friendly. She always gets right to the perfect spot that I need support with the very first try, and I leave my appointments feeling centered, relieved, and renewed. Whenever anyones asks about my appointments or how acupuncture has helped me, I have nothing but wonderful feedback to offer as my experience has been phenomenal since my very first visit. Now I am continuing visits and support through my pregnancy, and am still happily enjoying sessions. 5 stars all around, I am very happy with services.

Serina is one of those rare practitioners who holds a lot of knowledge AND is constantly learning. I have concluded through a rigorous scientific process that I sleep better when regularly seeing Serina than I do without. Of the many acupuncturists I have seen in the past twenty years and two locations I can honestly say Serina is the best!

I am 56 was having horrible hot flashes multiple times an hour which also woke me up every night. Menopause was really making my life miserable. One treatment and hens from Serina and they were gone!!! One year later ( last month) they returned and again, one treatment later ( with herbs) and I have not had a hot flash since. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
