Clouds Rest Healing Center

After my car accident, I needed a place to help my sore neck and back. After researching, I found the perfect place and doctor. Her name is Dr. Green and she is my life saver. I went to her every week for 3 months. With her help and advice, I was able to play basketball again and use the exercises she gave me to help my lower back pain.
Thank you.

I have known Dr. Susan Green for about 18 years. She is the best I got to know. She is very caring, compassionate, and best of all, she will give you the best care for your needs. She. Puts me back together and back to normal with a combination of treatment and her recommended excersices. Nice to have tea after the treatment.

Count me in as a convert. Dr. Zaragoza has done wonders for me. My treatment circle of physical therapy, exercise, healthy eating and now active release is complete. I have the best of all worlds.

I want to preface this with: I had never been to a Chiropractor before and I wasn’t really a believer in alternative methods of healthcare outside of a doctors office. So, this review is for those fellow skeptics :). I decided to give it a try when I hurt my neck and was in so much pain that I literally would try anything/​do anything to make the pain stop.
After 1 session with Susan I would say that my pain was down by 50%. After 2 sessions it was completely gone. I really can’t say enough about Susan. Not only did she completely cure my debilitating pain… I really enjoyed her company while she was doing it. She is one of those people that you meet and think, «I hope that persons goodness rubs off on me.» She was sincere, knowledgeable and adorable. I will probably have to fake some back pain so I can go back and chat with her.

Janis Feichtmeir has done some amazing acupuncture work that has helped reduce my chronic pain in my lower back and shoulders. She also worked me through my daily vitamins and supplements to help replenish my body and aid in my healing. I look forward every time I go to the next visit.

Dr Susan Green and her receptionist, Nancy, are wonderful!
I went here for a workers comp related back injury and was taken VERY good care of even though it turned out workers comp barely covered any of the cost. Dr. Green cared enough to not let that get in the way.
Highly recommend this place!

The massage therapist that I go to here is good. She definitely knows her stuff. She knew my back issues go back in history… and she is strong. It’s not a comfortable massage since I have knots galore but that’s the point. To get them out. She has a history of healing people of their pains after many visits of course. It’s a decent price too. I may go poor from this but nothing beats being pain free. Staying positive!
Bring me to Cloud 9!

Delayed update but the owners of this practice actually took the time to reach out to me and apologize.
Though I still have not taken a visit to this practice, I appreciate their efforts to reconcile the situation.
Here’s another star for customer service recovery! :)

I am writing to say that I love going to Clouds Rest Healing Center. I have benefited from multiple practitioners there, from acunpuncture, massage, and chiropractic care. I find the offices clean and inviting. Currently, I am seeing Jane as my acupuncturist and healer. I think she is truely a miracle worker, and is very kind and respectful. If you are searching for a clinic to recieve great holistic care I recommend this place. It has been my neighborhood clinic for more than 4 years, and a huge reason why I don’t want to ever move!

I found this place after getting into a major accident in September of 2011. Dr. Susan Green is not only a great chiropractor, she is very knowledgeable is what is doing. When I first started visiting Dr. Green as a patient, she explained to me that if I had questions about anything she is doing, she would explain to me, in detail, what she is doing. She did exactly that. Every time I had a question, she would clearly state what she’s doing and why she’s doing it. Her help has helped me recover a lot and I would definitely recommend going to see Dr. Green for recovering from an injury!

Thank you Unilocalers! I’m glad I found Dr. Susan Green at Clouds Rest Healing Center.
So I was sick for two days with the worst cold that I’ve ever encountered. Lying in my bed for two days sick now has caused unbearable neck and back pain and also a incurable migraine. I was looking through all the of reviews to see if I could schedule a massage or something!!! ANYTHING!!! to help the pain… I called Clouds Rest Healing Center and Mia, the friendly receptionist, answered and scheduled a same day appointment for me since I told her I was in immense pain. I got there and was met by Mia who asked me to fill out some forms. I could barely fill out the form. I’m sure Mia thought… wow this girl has terrible handwriting but please understand. I had to take two Alieves to even be able to get out of the house and drive 1.5 miles… If you haven’t gotten the point yet… I was in pain… and my sinuses were still stuffed from my cold. I was miserable.
After having some tea in the waiting area, Dr Green invited me to one of the rooms. We sat down and she asked me about my medical history and also why I was there to see her. I felt that the entire time I was there there she was not just listening to my symptoms but how I lived and worked to gather the bigger picture. She gave a a slight adjustment. She gave me three options; 1. slowly massage the part of my neck that was in pain 2. using a tool she would click the pain in my neck 3. she would do one of the ninja neck cracks. I told her that I trusted her judgement and whatever she thought would work best. Dr Green is indeed a ninja. One breath in and then one breath out, one breath in… *CRACK*CRACK* all of a sudden the migraine is gone and my nose is no longer stuffy… AMAZING… I think I went grocery shopping next and even ran some chores that I was feeling so great!
We scheduled a follow up appointment to just make sure my neck was okay. I was a little sore and glad that I had another appointment. Two days later I went to see her and she gave me another adjustment on the same place. She said that it usually takes two times to really readjusted. She also took a look at my posture since I told her that last time was the first time I’ve ever seen a chiropractor. I sit at a computer at least 8 hours a day and it’s been tough on my back and shoulders. She showed me some exercises and encouraged that I go to the gym to strengthen some muscles to help my posture. I felt so relaxed the whole time I was there. That’s saying a lot since I’m a type A personality all the time…
I really trust Dr Green because she understands that I can’t go to her once a week to get an alignment or adjustment. I like that her philosophy is that she hopes that you don’t have to see her and she shows you exercise to help your current condition. She has a very holistic way of healing and never preaches more than you’re willing to listen. I won’t mind going to her once a month for her to give me an adjustment but currently since I’m paying out of pocket… I will refrain from doing that.
Long story short: She’s amazing, she’s not in it for your insurance money, and if you want to go to someone that is going to tell you that you need to go see them once a week for the rest of your life then she’s not your gal.

I normally come here for Fong. She rents a room from this place. I’ve been getting massages regularly and I’ve tried different accupressurist. She is the best one I’ve found. If you can’t speak Cantonese or mandarin, there might be a language barrier. She doesn’t speak English at all. But for $ 40/​hr of quality massage, hand gestures will do.

Clouds Rest Healing is a wonderful place to go. The atmosphere is serene and peaceful. Everyone I have spoken with is genuinely sweet and very helpful.
I have been seeing Angela Zaragoza as a chiropractor for years and years. Extremely personable and knowledgeable, Angela is the only person I want working on any injury I may have or if I just need maintenance. When you usually think of a chiropractor, you think adjustments and cracking bones. Angela works with both soft tissue and bones. She’ll give you exercises to help you on your way to healing or tips on how to move correctly to avoid re-​injuring. I leave there feeling great and it lasts!!!

Janis Feichtmeir has profoundly improved my life – and I am sure lengthened it considerably. After a very nasty, long-​term, misdiagnosed bout of intestinal parasites, I developed food allergies (sensitivities) to nearly everything under the sun: wheat, corn, dairy, garlic, soy, and numerous fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, and food additives. A naturopathic doctor had diagnosed the food problems where traditional doctors had not and I was grateful that I was no longer getting worse, but I was down to a skeletal body weight, several of my body functions had started to shut down, and I was so stressed that I woke up from it many times a night. It was nearly impossible to avoid all the foods I needed to and maintain myself well enough to keep up with key parts of life like work, friendships, and travel, much less improve from the very depleted state I was in. I had never tried acupuncture and found the idea of it incomprehensible – what does sticking needles in your body have to do with your health? But I figured it couldn’t hurt, and when a woman I met by chance with similar problems recommended acupuncture and her, I gave Janis a try.
I’ve been going regularly for 2.5 years now, and my food allergies are fully resolved. I can eat without fear at restaurants and friends’ houses, I’m back to a normal body weight, and my stress has resolved well enough that I can sleep the night through – a lifesaver because when your sleep is off, everything else is immeasurably worse. Janis’ skill in diagnosing and in varying treatments over time to match my current state, her knowledge of other treatment types and practitioners to pull in when appropriate, and also her personal gentle warmth and ease make me recommend her highly for digestive, stress, and general health balance issues.
My experience with Angela Zaragoza is more limited but just as positive. I saw her for several sessions to treat body alignment and muscle problems, and I still vividly remember my surprise once in getting off the table: for a few moments before my brain readjusted to my body’s new state, the room felt like it was at a slant because she’d adjusted me so that I stood straight at last.
San Francisco and I are both lucky that Clouds Rest is here.

I can’t recommend Clouds Rest strongly enough.
I have been going to Clouds Rest for 10 years, so to say that I am pleased with the results is an understatement. I originally started going due to a back injury. I had already tried many different therapies including other chiropractors, masseuse and accupuncturists.
I am now at a place where I am 90% pain free. I still do have occasional flare ups due to long plane rides or meetings. My strategy now is to schedule an appointment for the day after I return from a trip.
I walk in in pain and leave much relieved.
They are warm and professional and really know what they are doing.

My wife and I can’t say enough good things about Cloud’s Rest. We’ve been routine customers, about once per month on average, for about 5 years now. I see Jan Feichtmeir for acupunture, and my wife sees Jan and also Angela Zaragoza for work on tight muscles.
Prior to starting acupuncture, I had suffered from various digestive maladies for most of my adult life, and the inclusion of acid reflux in the list finally spurred me to take some steps outside of traditional medicine, which had never helped much. My wife convinced me to try acupuncture, and it’s important to note that I was quite skeptical at first. But seeing Jan was reassuring from the start — her approach is remarkably accessible for Westerners, and she radiates positive chi. The treatments themselves are *extremely* relaxing and calming — her needle technique is gentle — and I was feeling consistently better within the first few visits. Within the first year, I’d classify myself as completely cured of digestive problems, which means I feel much better all the time and am saving a fortune on over-​the-​counter medications. Acupuncture may not work as well for everybody, but for anything stress related, you’d be crazy not to give Jan’s art a try. Bonus: for those squeamish about needles, she can use magnets instead.
My wife Ellen has benefitted similarly from Jan’s treatments for assorted maladies that seem not easily or successfully treatable using Western medicine. She has also had a remarkably positive and unique experience working with Angela. After surgery for a frozen shoulder, followed by lower back surgery, it was clear that she needed regular work on joints and muscles. Angela fixes her up on a routine basis, doing things that go well beyond most people’s common perception of chiropractic practice (i.e., it’s not just cracking backs) — Angela is especially adept with muscle problems and misalignment of any sort. I should add that Angela has occasionally worked wonders on me as well, following skiing and other sports injuries. She has also cured our daughter (early 20s) of running-​related joint problems.
Bottom line: Try Jan Feichtmeir and Angela Zaragoza, even if you’re dubious about non-​traditional medicine and chiropracty (as was I). I strongly suspect you’ll be feeling much better after a few sessions. And you’ll really enjoy meeting them.

Seriously I would have maimed someone like my husband right now were it not for Janis Feichtmeir’s amazing acupuncture skills. Calm was never a vocabulary word used to describe me until I began seeing her. Originally I saw her to cure my migraines which went away after one treatment. Who knew a side effect would be the ability to deal with stress without killing someone?
I can’t say enough great things about Jan and her partner Angela Zarazoza who does chiropractic care. These women are outstanding at their craft! Love this business.

So… this is one of those occasions where I even hesitate to announce this… but Clouds Rest has yoga on Wednesday night. I go, and it’s more than just a class. It’s a community. There is a handful of us there every week– eight at the most– and I look forward to seeing these people every week. Since it’s nothing if not one-​on-​one attention, I feel like this is the «technical» practice to supplement my «practical» side in the «field» (i.e. a chain gym with very little personal attention).
The teacher, Eve Riebe, is a seasoned pro. She completely knows her craft inside and out, and is sooo enthused to teach our class. What’s so impressive is that she is able to work with such a diverse group of people (me, 24, intermediate; to 40ish, experts; to 80+, intermediate; etc.), and is able to find modifications to suit everyone. We’re all working and learning and growing together, always. Eve always finds a way to challenge the individual, while keeping us unified with the pose or sequence we’re working on.
I think Eve teaches a class at USF on Mondays (?) if you’re not willing to commute to the Outer Sunset on a Wednesday night. This is worth it for me, and I can’t think of leaving, despite moving to the East Bay in October and to the Mission very recently.
Again, I can’t believe I just posted this… I would love to keep this a secret to me and the little class, but if this sounds appealing to you, come on by!

Ouch! My back’s been snapped, crackled, and popped by many a chiropractor, many times.
Whew! Thank heaven I found chiropractor Angela Zaragoza. No more jerking and no more hurting; gentle is her approach. During the half-​hour appointment, she first uses her bare hands (better than an ultrasound wand) to massage, stretch, and thus, loosen up the muscles. Then, she makes the adjustments.
Angela’s got your back and your back will be happy for it. And she’s available on Saturdays too.
**************************
If I’m like a cat with nine lives, then acupuncturist Janis Feichtmeir has saved at least two of them. Thank you Janis!
I would say more, but I don’t want to get all mushy around here.

When I’m completely at the end of my Qi-​rope, I know that there’s no one else more capable than Jan Feichtmeir, LAc, to revive me. Jan’s been my acupuncturist for more years than I can remember (okay, 12 years!) and I know that I will always be well cared for. There’s no need to be needle-​phobic with Jan, as her needling technique is gentle, yet effective. She’s intuitive, knowledgeable, and oh-​so caring. If it weren’t for her TLC, I don’t think I would have made it through acupuncture school intact! Thanks, Jan!
Some other pluses: quiet, zen-​like space. Friendly staff. You can see and smell the ocean (they’re out in the Sunset @ Judah & 32^nd)…that’s a huge plus for me!
