Synergy Wellness Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine

I went to Tova to increase my milk supply (I’m breast feeding). She was knowledgable, professional, and listened to my concerns. After one acupuncture treatment and a few days of herbs I saw a significant increase in my milk production. When I returned for a follow up, I was able to appreciate the quiet space, her deft needle-​placing skills, and the heated table and heat lamps that made the session both relaxing and healing.
I would recommend her to my friends in an instant.

I use Unilocal all the time, but have always been one of those «free riders.» Until now.
My history with lower back pain is long and wild. After suffering intermittently for years, and chronically since the spring, I finally bit the bullet and decided to try acupuncture. I started seeing a practitioner in my town (Columbia, SC) who seemed great, but I had nothing to compare him to. I had a scheduled visit to Oakland early in the treatment, and would have to miss a couple of sessions. A local friend recommended I try Tova while I was in town, and I’m so grateful that I did.
Since her expert treatment, I have been getting demonstrably better faster than my local practitioner expected due to the severity of my pain and other conditions. Tova had cautiously recommended a more aggressive treatment than traditional acupuncture (basically meaning, when it came down to it, that it would potentially actually hurt). I was in such additional pain from the travel that I was willing to try anything.
She was right. It hurt. (But really only a little bit, at some points. In China, she told me, where culturally they have a different approach to pain, it’s a common technique; not so much stateside.) After Tova’s treatment, I saw immediate improvement in my mobility and speed, and noticed better results from subsequent treatments back home.
I would recommend Tova in a heartbeat, and am actively trying to rustle up another reason to go back to Oakland.

I highly recommend Tova of Synergy Wellness Acupuncture. She has been amazing working with my ailments. A big plus is, it is always a pleasurable and hassle free experience from making an appointment to the time spent during the office visit. Tova is very personable and professional, she makes it easy to speak with her and feel comfortable during the whole process. I am so grateful for finding Synergy Wellness Acupuncture — Tova when there are so many Chinese Medicine Doctors out there!

I am grateful to have Tova’s guidance and expertise. She has helped me heal issues including menstrual irregularity and digestive issues. Typical western treatments weren’t providing results and her special knowledge and care has helped me regain balance in a mumber of areas. She considers the mind-​body and emotional issues and uses a holistic approach to strengthen the immune system. I appreciate her compassion and specificlly that she takes her time to listen to my concerns. She has helped me learn how to listen to my body and achieve optimal wellness. I have recommend her to family and friends and recommend her to anyone seeking sustainable balance, health and wellness. It is well worth the investment and I see Tova as my primary health practitioner.

I can’t stand incense and shitty new age music, I have no idea why Chinese Medicine people, massage therapists, and acupuncturists have to play John Tesh and light incense or candles, but many of them do. So instead of relaxing, I get a headache and have to put up with flutes and waterfalls for an hour. If I wanted incense and flutes, I would have went to some hippie house and listened to Jethro Tull.
Ok, enough of my rambling. I have tons of shit wrong with me, chronic headaches, psoriasis, foot muscle issues and so I finally found someone who can fix me up in a comfortable, affordable, and knowledgeable fashion. Tova is a good listener and is unbelievable at finding just the right amount of pressure to hit with her pins and needles. She is also an expert with diet advice and telling me what sort of things I should change about my diet and what one could possibly gain from switching to organic if only a few items.
Chronic headaches have become a thing of the past, and I am currently being treated for psoriasis, I’ll let you all know how it goes.
