Tao To Wellness's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Kim is a miracle worker! I've had chronic back pain around my shoulder blade (where I hold stress) for over a year. I spent so much money on massage therapy and chiropractors but finally went in for acupuncture treatment and WOW, the pain is nearly non existent after one session! I can't express how wonderful it is to live pain-free because I forgot how it felt. Dr. Kim, and acupuncture made a believer in me and I am forever grateful to her practice! Highly recommend coming to see her if you have any ailments. She is so calming, and absolutely amazing at what she does!

I was passing through Berkeley when I had a flare up of pain from an old injury. I was able to make and appointment. Marny provided a skilled and effective acupuncture treatment that exceeded my expectations

Highly recommend Tao to Wellness to anyone seeking acupuncture and herbs, especially with Deanna. I started working with her when trying to get pregnant. She is warm, kind, and thorough in her approach. I appreciated all of our check ins and she takes great notes, as she always recalls the information the next time. Throughout my pregnancy, she supported with acupuncture and herbs, which I think really helped even with some of my high risk factors. You can tell she cares a lot and is dedicated to what she does as there are times after our sessions, she will check in and offer other ways to support during this pregnancy journey. I highly recommend working with Deanna if you are seeking acupuncture, especially for fertility needs!

I really appreciated my experience here. I think I was an "open-minded skeptic" coming for my first ever acupuncture. The approach to talking about my injury was "accessible" to my "western medicine" upbringing. And most importantly: my third visit was like turning the switch off for my pain. I probably had a pinched nerve in my neck, but due to delays seeing a pain specialist through my primary care, I was trying anything. I ultimately was seeing a "western medicine" doctor and Tao to Wellness at the same time. But the timing of my pain shutting off is strongly suggestive that acupuncture played a big part in shortening the duration (which my "western medicine" pain specialist had suggested would be possible). Deanna was my acupuncturist.

Woke up with an agonizing knot in the middle of my back that made doing anything including driving incredibly painful. Was recommended Tao to Wellness by a family member who had been there a few years before. Was able to book a same day appointment with Marny who took great care to talk through what was going on, make her own assessment and then begin treatment. Pain was noticeably less by the end of the session and after a second treatment (acupuncture and cupping along with physical manipulation of the joints and affected muscle groups) the pain had been massively reduced. Combined with physical therapy and weekly acupuncture treatments the pain is completely gone and I’m able to function normally again. Highly recommend Marny for both her warmth and professional demeanor! It’s been a pleasure to see her for the past month and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for an acupuncturist for pain management!

Had a great appointment with Deanna — we got right to business and I enjoyed her listening skills and the treatment was smooth. Will return again!

Dr. Kim Wu has been my acupuncturist for over a decade. She has helped me heal with everything from car accidents, ankle sprains and hormonal imbalance. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable within her profession but also fun and easy to talk with about life. I highly recommend booking an appointment.

Deanna is kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable! Our work together has already allowed me to feel better, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Christina and Tao to Wellness are an excellent support in my life. From acupuncture at the conveniently located studio in Berkeley, CA near the 4th Street shopping district, to the annual 3-week DETOX program Christina runs virtually, my life is better. Just about to complete DETOX now and I've decided that I feel better, have more energy and now willpower to follow through on some smart choices on how I nourish my body. Will be dropping caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and dairy from my day to day eating because I now know how I feel when I do so. Thank you Christina for your helpful videos and warm support! Oh, the community that evolves in the WhatsApp group is so supportive too. Love.

Deanna is a wonderful and I have been working with her over a year. She is responsive, supportive and an engaged practitioner. We have worked on a couple of different issues in our time together and I have defiantly seen improvements. The treatment space is very calming and cozy; I would definitely recommend the business and Deanna!
