Lion's Heart Acupuncture & Wellness's Online Review Report Card

As a head coach, competitive weightlifter, and gym owner in Oakland, I can't sing Kim's praises more. She's got a calm energy that's perfect for the work she does and a casual knowledge that betrays how deep it is. She listens and caters to what's needed from injury rehab to better performance through sports acupuncture. Strong recommendation!

Kim Peirano is an amazing healer. Upon first meeting her, her energy was welcoming and peaceful and I felt immediately at ease with her. She’s one of the most intuitive and knowledgeable acupuncturists that I’ve ever worked with and I experienced great results during my time seeing her. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for an acupuncturist.

I had no previous experience with acupuncture when I visited Dr. Kim Peirano, primarily due to her proximity to me in Oakland. I was dealing with chronic shoulder pain. I had no idea what to expect, but Dr. Kim was great. She patiently discussed with me everything that was going on, learning enough to recognize that my shoulder pain was likely exacerbated by muscle tightness in my back from significant stress I was dealing with at the time. This was something that hadn't even occurred to me. The difference the first treatment made was immediate and profound- my back was super relaxed and my shoulder was virtually pain-free! I went in somewhat skeptical but am absolutely sold on acupuncture and Dr. Kim's care. She also recommended a local gym to me for continued strength work with my shoulder. Though I'd previously assumed that I might be destined for shoulder surgery like some of my hockey buddies, I am now living completely with my shoulder completely pain-free, something I couldn't even imagine before I started working with Dr. Kim. It's no exaggeration to say she's a miracle worker.

Kim's treatments rise beyond the level of skilled practitioner. When you work with her you also benefit from her deep knowing intuitive sense, her cross training and her sharp mind. You will be amazed by the transformation you experience after a session.

Kim's dedication to holistic care is very clear. She not only addressed my immediate concerns but also offered valuable advice on lifestyle adjustments to support long-term health. The combination of expertise, personalized care, and genuine compassion makes Kim at Lion's Heart Wellness an exceptional practitioner in the field. I highly recommend Lion's Heart Wellness to anyone seeking effective acupuncture treatment and a positive, holistic approach to health and wellness.

Dr. Peirano is brilliant! I have had the pleasure of working along side her in her old clinic in San Rafael, teaching for her non-profit, and being under her care for various ailments (dislocated rib and post-viral infection). Dr. Peirano is compassionate, competent, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her.

As a physical therapist, I was really appreciative of Kim's knowledge and willingness to explain what she was doing and why in detail. I appreciate her pacing as I never felt rushed and I always felt heard in her questions and history taking. She is very holistic and clearly a curious individual who I can tell constantly strives to know more for her clients. I felt grounded after my session and grateful for the profession of acupuncture as a whole.

I am so glad to find Kim in Oakland. She is professional and personable. I sought out acupuncture at Lions Heart for care for my stress, mobility issues, brain fog and ongoing pain. I wanted a holistic space that would work in conjunction with my western medicine regimen. She helped walk me through different procedures to decide what was best for my needs and answered all my questions in a way I understood. Kim makes me feel heard and supported in my concerns for my healthcare. I have used Lions Heart Wellness for many services including whole body acupuncture, nutrition review and facial acupuncture. I had never heard of facial acupuncture until I went in for whole body acupuncture and asked for input on the pros and cons of starting Botox. Kim suggested facial acupuncture, which is non injection, with results you can immediately see. I tried it and was so grateful for the suggestion the rejuvenating effects were instant and improved over time. I continue to use Lions Heart in Oakland since I feel so relaxed and energized after each session. Kim's focus on individualized care provides a comprehensive wellness experience.
