Testimonials

  • Kidney Stone

    “When I was visiting the Bay Area recently, I found myself passing a kidney stone. Seeking relief from extreme pain, I scheduled a session with Dr. Stewart. The effect of her treatment was remarkable. I felt no pain of any kind, no discomfort in any form, for the next 48 hours. I could sleep without medication, and my body was able to rest deeply as it continued the work of expelling the foreign object. I've never experienced such instant & sustained pain relief when passing a stone. I would've scheduled a second session before traveling, if time had allowed. I passed the stone at home without medication the following week. Dr. Stewart is currently prescribing herbs to treat another stone and maintain my kidney health. She is artful in engaging the body's healing ability, and she has my unqualified recommendation as a health care practitioner.” AHL

  • Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy

    "After many years of sports wear and tear, I developed an Achilles that was chronically stiff and painful, and that increasingly impeded my exercise for years. I felt as if I was literally dragging the foot along with me but I was determined to continue hiking the awesome Marin trails. Finally, after having to move at a snail’s pace and decrease the length and elevation of my hikes, I sought Dr. Stewart’s help and I am glad I did. Over the course of several sessions I was able to regain full elasticity in my Achilles and am back to hiking whenever and wherever I want. Hills and uneven terrain are no longer a problem and Mt. Tam looks more glorious than ever again! Thank you Erin!"

  • Neck Pain and Nerve Impingement

    "As a personal trainer, I’m pretty knowledgeable about the body, not only in regard to strength (or lack of), but also when it comes to injuries. I’ve definitely had my share and have tried quite a few different healing modalities in the past (including acupuncture). Most recently, I’ve been dealing with a stubborn radial nerve impingement affecting my entire left arm. I initially tried sessions of bodywork and chiropractic treatment in hopes to resolve the issue, but progress was really slow. Motivated for a quicker recovery, I decided to try acupuncture again and sought the expertise of Dr. Stewart. Dr. Stewart laid out a plan for treatment and in just a few thorough sessions, I noticed how well my body responded. Throughout this process, she was able to resolve the nerve impingement, as well as chronic neck pain I’ve dealt with for years. With all this success, I’ve continued to work with her to address other issues as well, such as TMJ and back pain. As a professional in the health and wellness space, I highly recommend Dr. Stewart’s practice and have so much gratitude for being able to experience her healing touch. Her kind, empathetic, and intuitive nature is truly complementary to her knowledge, approach, and skill as a doctor of acupuncture. She holds a permanent spot in my network of healers for both myself and my clients. One can only hope there will be more practitioners in this world just like her." JR

  • Post-Surgery Hip Tightness and Pain

    "I've been recovering from two hip surgeries this year and hit a point in my recovery where the tightness and stiffness seemed to be getting worse. Erin provided substantial relief after just one acupuncture treatment. She is very skilled, professional, and thoughtful, and she provides an extremely relaxing atmosphere. I've continued the treatments beyond just my hips and have been seeing major benefits relieving other lingering pain in my feet, shoulders, neck, etc. Highly recommend Erin - she is exceptional!" SK

Highly recommend." AB

  • Relaxation and General Wellness

    "Erin is a magician of sorts. Our acupuncture session left me with a calmness that I can compare to when I have come out after a rowdy surf session. A true peace, at land, in ease. It was as if she had fine tuned my body, like a magnificent piano-tuner, revealing the natural state of flow that my body can attain with proper care. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine and local plants have helped me jumpstart my wellness into a state of being that I have been looking for for many years.” GG

  • Sports Medicine

    "I highly recommend Erin as an exceptional acupuncturist. I have personally had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Erin after the race and I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and skill in the field of acupuncture. From the moment I spoke to her after the race, I felt welcomed and at ease. They took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, ensuring that the treatment plan was tailored to my specific needs. Give her a visit, and I am confident that you will be in excellent hands."
