Sabrina Marie Acupuncture

I’ve been seeing Sabrina for a few weeks now. I have had knee and shoulder pain for sometime now due to sports and competing. My brother highly recommended her, so I come in to give it a try. I tell you now, I’m hooked.
Beyond the Acupuncture, Cupping and Electric Stimulation… Sabrina is the real deal. She is easy to talk to, has all the answers when asked anything and works with you to get the best out of your body.
I will continue to see her in the forsee able future.

Suffice to say, I was not a big believer in acupuncture, traditional remedies, herbs, etc. I believe in evidence and proven results. I wanted something that would work, bottom line — and this does.
I came to Sabrina Marie, MS LAc because my doctor diagnosed me with some physical health problems and wanted to put me on medication. As an alternative (and a last resort), I decided to try something different, and I’m glad I did!
The Wellness Within office is relaxing and inviting, and Sabrina is clearly professional, educated, and very intelligent. She has a calm, soothing demeanor and gentle touch without being new-​agey or spacey. The needles barely hurt at all. She was also very attentive and knowledgeable about my issues. I even brought my blood tests from my doctor and Sabrina was able to analyze them and tell me essentially the same thing my doctor had. She even drew out a graph of what was going on in my body so I could visualize the problem. Instead of suggesting drugs, though, Sabrina instead formulated a weekly plan for me which combines acupuncture and Chinese herbal teas and does not involve medication or any more blood tests. Without getting too particular into the health problems, let’s just say after one week, I can tell it’s 100% working — and not in a wishy-​washy, placebo «I vaguely feel better» sort of way, this is a very black or white kind of issue that I have, and it’s obvious things have changed since I started seeing Sabrina a week ago.
I would recommend this place and this practitioner without reservation, and I will continue to get treatment here.

I have been going to Wellness Within weekly for a little over 2 months. The work and space Sabrina Salzer, LAc provides for me has become a regular part of my self-​care and I am forever grateful for her presence and knowledge of Chinese medicine.
I’ve been seeing her to process normal life stresses as well as an experiment in facial acupuncture. Every visit, she is attentive and gentle (even though having needles in your face can be kinda intense!). During each session she applies the needles, lets me rest and after removing the needles she does this AMAZING treatment on my face… kinda like a massage with various special tools and leaves my skin glowing. She’s also helped me with mild issues around digestion, tiredness, low energy, women stuff and not being able to sleep full nights. Just in 1 session I was sleeping solidly, and continue to do so!
She asks questions that probe me to look deeper at what may be working or not working in my life and is always very supportive. And, what’s even greater is she always has an honest, understandable answer for my many questions about energy flow and TCM techniques and philosophies.
Wellness Within is in a nice office shared with other acupuncturists and seems well equipped. There is a heating pad on the table and nice music for total relaxation.
Give Sabrina a call and set up an appointment for you and your family! I am sure you will benefit greatly from her professionalism and kindness in care.

Wellness Within is an essential part of my health regimen. I go once a week to see Sabrina for my issues with stress, headaches, ringing in ears, and any flare up under the sun. Sabrina is warm, thorough, gentle with the needles (while still using them effectively) and very knowledgeable of the practice and of Chinese herb medicine as well. The herbs she prescribes me advance my healing greatly and I highly recommend augmenting your healing with herb supplements.
It’s really affordable as far as private acupuncture sessions go. It’s also centrally located in Oakland and the Wellness Within space has a relaxing ambiance with dark chocolate, ricola, trail mix, water, and tea available to munch on, relax you, and get your energy back on point.
