SLO Community Acupuncture

SLO Community Acupuncture gets five stars without a doubt.
I feel so lucky that a place like this exists because I cannot afford acupuncture and it is not covered under my insurance. I am happy to have found this place.
They have decorated it very serene and comfortable. I leave every time feeling so much better than when I arrived. The room has nice white noise and is a perfect temperature along with comfortable chairs.
Katie is by far one of the nicest, most approachable, knowledgable, and generally wonderful clinicians I have come across. She is providing an excellent service to the community and nothing but good vibes should come her way!

I have nothing but good things to say about SLO Community Acupuncture and the wonderful, knowledgable Katie.
I was hesitant to try acupuncture when my former coworker used to talk to me about it back in October, but I was always curious– it was mostly my fear of needles that kept me from trying it, but it was also just the unknown. However, back in Winter I was experiencing multiple things that I sought relief from, including, but not limited to, menstrual cramps, anxiety, stress, and wavering immune health. I was sick of taking pain meds, taking NyQuil, and drinking tea as my own attempts to fix the problems… one day I just looked up the hours for SLO Community Acupuncture and just went in.
Katie was (and is) friendly, welcoming, a calming presence, experienced, sweet, smart, and caring. She let me know about her practice, how it works, how it would feel, and we discussed which points we would be focusing on for me that day. I laid down in one of the recliners in the dimly lit, serene room, and she got to work. Let me tell you, you can barely feel the needles at all! I wouldn’t even describe it as a «prick.» Within seconds I was feeling relaxed and I ended up falling asleep after 20 minutes. The average stay for an acupuncture session is 45 – 60 minutes, but Katie let me stay in my peaceful state of rest for 2 hours.
I woke up feeling calm, balanced, and immensely content with the world around me and myself in that moment. The things I was stressing about earlier that day had melted away and I was able to approach them without anxiety surrounding it. I fell in love with acupuncture and have gone back many times since. Now I go 1 – 2 times per week and it helps with everything from my sinus colds to cramps to back pain to general relief.
I brought a friend with me last week and now he is obsessed too and we are going in today. I always look forward to the days when I get to go in. And grabbing acai bowls from The Neighborhood (a couple doors down) afterwards is always a plus! 100% would recommend to anyone.

Super awesome! So incredibly happy to have Katie on the Central Coast and very grateful she is providing affordable acupuncture to the people! Being from Santa Cruz I know she has received a high level education from Five Branches University. Thank you Katie for helping SLO County feel better!

Fantastic experience! Katie the owner/​practitioner is very attentive and can treat the smallest ache to the more serious ailments. The new space on Foothill is two doors down from Kona’s Deli and has a very relaxing, quiet ambiance. At first I was hesitant to try acupuncture but after going to SLO Community Acupuncture I started going back regularly to help relieve my shoulder/​back pain, menstrual problems and stress. I highly recommend this place for anyone who needs more natural health remedies in their life!
