Aimee Ruiz's Online Review Report Card

I had a very positive experience with Aimee. I am really not sure about acupuncture but I did it at my doctor's recommendation. I could feel something happening during Aimee's treatments (which does not always happen with other acupuncturists). She is compassionate and thoughtful and provides a warm space for patients who are often dealing with a very difficult process. Her work helped me feel confident as I supported my pregnancy, and my baby and I are very grateful for her.

There are certain people on this Earth who have been given the gift of healing. Aimee is one of those people. When I went to see Aimee, I was just starting to take my fertility journey seriously. My SO and I had been trying for a little over a year, I was in a stable place with my stressful job, but there was SO much that I just did not know about fertility and about myself. Aimee helped me recognize those things, helped me navigate our shit healthcare system (ahem, Kaiser) and shared her knowledge of local fertility clinics and IVF providers. Aimee helped me understand my bloodwork and identified my hypothyroidism before my REs. Aimee taught me about inflammation and helped me get my PCOS under control. Aimee let me lean on her when I had a hard week or experienced a loss. I'm really not sure how I would have gotten through those years without Aimee.As I sit here writing this, my little one is asleep in the next room. At 6.5 weeks, she is in her first growth spurt and I haven't been getting many breaks in the past few days. I am so tired and so grateful. Grateful for my baby and grateful to those who helped me become a mommy. I cannot thank and recommend Aimee enough.

I have never done acupuncture before, but it was recommended to me by a mom group during a baby shower. I was desperate to avoid an induction as my previous pregnancies had been inductions. I booked with Aimee and she contacted me to set a time that was more reasonable. She took down my concerns and discussed what I wanted. I told her I was ready to deliver as soon as possible. As soon as I left after the session, I basically went into labor. I was blown away. I had my beautiful baby 13 hours later naturally without any complications. I am a believer and Aimee was excellent and I would not hesitate to return for any other needs I have. Thank you Aimee!!! Cannot recommend enough.

I was referred to Aimee by my therapist during my first trimester of pregnancy when I was seriously struggling- I was peeing nonstop throughout the night, so sick, exhausted and constantly on the verge of a mental breakdown. I unfortunately did not get my act together until the start of my second trimester to start seeing her, but immediately felt so much relief. She helped my anxiety and to regulate my hormones. She is extremely empathetic, taking time to ask me how I am doing and feeling, I felt like I had someone truly on my team who cared. Her helpfulness did not stop at just acupuncture, there were a few times that I came up to significant hurdles during and after my pregnancy and she was there to refer me to incredible people or to send email to her network to try to help. I cannot recommend going to Aimee enough!

East Bay Acupuncture is a fabulous practice! Aimee is professional, skilled and highly knowledgeable in her field. Highly recommended!

I started seeking out acupuncture when a friend mentioned that it could help my fertility. I was nervous to try it but was willing to give it a go. I found Aimee and I am so glad I did. I owe her so much. Not only guiding me through my fertility journey but also my pregnancy. I tell everyone who will listen how much acupuncture has helped me. I've had an overall smooth pregnancy and I know it's because of Aimee, I can always tell when it's been too long between sessions. Not only do I appreciate her healing but also that she takes time to listen to my weekly woes and offer suggestions (things to eat/drink, books to read, products to try, etc.). I know I'm in good hands and have felt taken care of and supported every step of the way. I also enjoy that her office is very spa-like. I look forward to my quiet time there each week. If you're hesitating giving acupuncture a try, give it a chance and see Aimee. Personally, I've never looked back.

Aimee is amazing. I did about three months of acupuncture to get relief from back pain, knee pain, and Achilles/calf pain. It was my first time ever trying acupuncture. My knee and calf pain improved dramatically (and are more recent than the back pain, which is chronic). From the very first intake session through to the last, Aimee was professional, kind, inquisitive, and extremely knowledgeable. Her office is an oasis of solitude and warmth, which I deeply valued - especially in the beginning of my journey when I was living with housemates and feeling incredibly overstimulated. If you're seeking an acupuncturist, I highly recommend Aimee's practice!

Aimee is so gentle, caring, non judgmental and safe. Her office is calm and smells good too. I went to Aimee while trying to conceive while on my journey to become a single mom by choice. I never felt judged for pursuing a family in a non traditional way. I'm now holding (well I put her down to write this review) my almost 10 month old baby! -Jane Doe

Aimee is fantastic at what she does. Not only that, but she is so calm and kind, and her energy feels warm and inviting. I went to her initially for general wellness and so looked forward to my sessions of relaxation and connection with her. In the past year and change, I’ve gone to her while trying to conceive my first child, during pregnancy (omg go to her if you’re pregnant! And go often. I swear she helped me with so many things and especially helped toward the end of pregnancy to gently nudge my body to go into labor), and postpartum. I also went as soon as she opened up during the pandemic and felt incredibly safe. Her and her welcoming staff go above and beyond to ensure the office is squeaky clean and covid-safe. Speaking of the office, it’s absolutely beautiful and calming - a true healing sanctuary. All of this to say, go to Aimee to get your acupuncture! She is amazing!
