Jasmine Berke, LAc DAOM

Dr. Berke is really friendly, patient, knowledgeable and takes her time to really listen for what you need for treatment. Even at the same time she is taking care of multiple patients, she is too responsible and cares about what you need. She is also good with psychology and knows that the mind and body are connected to each other.

I found Jasmine through Women’s Care (a support clinic for women going through cancer in Santa Cruz California. I was impressed immediately with her professional, yet personal and caring demeanor. I found her treatments to help greatly with the nausea and pain that accommodates cancer treatments so I continued to see her over the course of my illness. At one point I could not drive, yet needed her help. She kindly agreed to treat me at my house a handful of times which is unprecedented for any practitioner that I know of! Not only did she help to keep my pain under control, she taught me ways to keep myself nourished (YAY PROTEIN SHAKES!) and my digestive system healthy when I could not eat and losing too much weight. A lifesaver! Another benefit was the ability to sleep without having to take medications. AMBIEN BAD… ACCUPUNCTURE GOOD! Whether you suffer from insomnia or not, her treatments will calm, relax, and maybe even put you to sleep!
I moved back to Arizona, but years later I was traveling through Santa Cruz County and stopped to see Jasmine because we had become good friends. I had come down with bronchitis during my visit there, so she squeezed me in to her busy schedule in order to treat me. I didn’t know at the time that acupuncture could ease the effects of a bronchial infection, but it sure did! I was feeling better almost immediately!
Jasmine has worked tirelessly over the years to perfect her skills and knowledge. I recommend her highly and suggest you go to her for whatever ails you!
Jasmine, I can never thank you enough for all you’ve done for me!

Dr. Jasmine Berke is an amazing practitioner! Highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also very caring and attentive. She has a big heart and you feel it through her treatment; she’s also so kind to accept many types of insurance. She has been a blessing to my wife and I and we always walk out her office better than when we entered. Thank you!

Jasmine is a talented doctor and healer. The treatments I received from her were wonderful, and I’m sure with more visits, I would have experienced even deeper healing. Even after one treatment, I experienced positive physical effects for chronic joint pain and anxiety. I also felt immediately relaxed, and almost euphoric (needle-​phobes, don’t worry a bit!) after acupuncture.
I know for a fact that Jasmine cares deeply for her patients. Her work is also her passion, and every person that steps into her office is her priority. She takes her time with every patient. This is not your typical 15 minute in-​and-​out doctors visit. She is a woman of great abundance and strength, and I’m glad I got to work with her!
**Office is clean
**Wide array of medicinal herbs and preparations
**Procedures and treatment rooms are hygienic and clean

Dr. Berke helped sustain my overall health and sense of well being during extensive cancer treatments. Dr. Berke spent a lot of time with me, getting a detailed picture of my health, lifestyle and needs. My treatments mostly involved acupuncture but she also performed some cupping and prescribed some herbal remedies for specific issues. I left each session feeling more calm and with an enhanced sense of well being. There were also times when Dr. Berke’s treatments produced immediate and specific good effect. This is a doctor with a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience, deep empathy and a genuine desire to heal.

I have been seeing Jasmine for more than a few months now. After being nearly 6 months along and losing my son I needed to get my health in order. I was referred to Jasmine from a friend. She is truly a healer. She spends time to discover what is ailing you with a consultation each session. So, don’t come in a hurry. She is very thorough. Then, you will receive one of her many treatments, I have had acupuncture and cupping. And then you have the option to purchase restorative herbs.
Bonus: She accept flex spending health insurance cards for treatment and herbs.

Have you suffered from neck, or back pain, and have tried everything western medicine has to offer? I have! CT scans, MRI, PT, muscle relaxers, — yet, nothing has worked! As a last resort (should have been the FIRST thing I tried) I decided to try acupuncture. I searched for acupuncturists with knowledge and many years of experience and came across Dr Jasmine Berke. I have to be honest and say that I went to see her, but was extremely skeptical. I seriously thought I would lay in her office, with my neck pain, and add more pain by having those needles poke me everywhere. However, I’ve had many people ask me, «Have you tried acupuncture?»…So, I gave in and tried it. When I went to see her, I couldn’t turn my head and my neck pain was so bad that I couldn’t even fill out the forms — the nice receptionist (Sonja) was so gracious and helped me.
Doctor Berke was very thorough with me. She took a lot of time asking questions, writing things down and listening to my medical history — then, she went to work! «How does your neck feel now?» She would ask, as she placed a needle somewhere, nowhere near my neck, down near my foot… surprisingly, I felt a little relief. Immediately, I told her, «This is crazy, how can this be??» To this day, I don’t understand how this works… but, I’m here to tell you, it DOES!
When I left her office, I felt a little relief, but wasn’t out of the woods, by any means. I really thought I was doomed to life of chronic neck pain. Later, that night, I was in complete shock — I could turn my head and the pain was almost GONE! I actually called and left her a voicemail to tell her she was a GOD! LOL… It was the best decision to go see her! Jasmine Berke is an amazing healer… I’m back to swimming, working out and I, truly, feel that she’s given me my life back:). I’ve seen her a few times now and plan on continuing to see her for any other health related issues that may arise. From now on, she will be my first call! Thanks Doctor Berke — I’m so grateful!:)

I found Jasmine six months ago… I had not slept well for close to 7 years! Like lots of us ladies I have been doing night sweats all night and daytime hot flashes that seem to be sucking the life right out of me. I had lost my medical insurance so did nothing to help myself for 7 long years. As soon as my Insurance was restored I found Jasmine Berke and NOW I SLEEP!!! I told her it was like she flipped switch on my body the very first visit! I started to have less night sweats and the ones I do have are less intense. I rarely have hot flashes during the day at all, I’m nicer too. My energy is starting to return more and more… I think I actually look younger than I did prior to seeing Jasmine. I’ve been holistic all of my adult life and Jasmines approach in treating me is exactly that, I am so thank full that I found her. She’s also helped with pain in my hands. Oh, the office is really nice too, good energy and a great place for a nap.

she is extraordinary. period.

Jasmine is awesome at diagnosing! She’s pleasant and kind and very knowledgeable! She treated me after a surgery and I was so amazed how much her treatments alleviated my pain. I highly recommend her!

I have been going to Jasmine Berke for acupuncture treatments for three years. She is like magic to me! Everytime I go now, I leave feeling completely better. It wasn’t like this in the beginning, though, because I was very sick. I had been in chronic pain and fatigue for several years. I remember my first visit to her was my last effort to get well. That sounds dramatic, but I’d tried every western medical treatment and nothing had worked. She took a long time talking with me about what was going on in my life. She suggested some nutrition changes right away, and drinking warm drinks instead of the iced drinks I preferred. Just the simple nutrition changes alone made such a difference and I started to feel better and more hopeful. After the first year of treatment, I felt much better. Since then, my health has improved and maintained to an optimal level, and I now plan on seeing her only once a month for maintenance – I feel that good! I am 60 years old now, and take no additional medications. I’ve lost over 50 pounds and have zero pain – anywhere. Not even headaches.
All this because Jasmine truly listens and follows up with you the next time you return. I mention needing to see her frequently in the beginning just because my level of illness was severe. Once I became healthier, her healing is almost instaneous. I experience this on a regular basis now. I go in with a mild symptom and leave happy as can be. After three years, I still just find her amazing!
I recommend acupuncture highly, and especially recommend Jasmine. I could write volumes, but must stop now. Please give your health a chance to improve naturally! Jasmine will help you meet your health goals. She did mine.

This woman is a true healer.
I have struggled all my life with throat and tonsil infections, and the good ol’ boys of Western medicine were ready and rarin’ to carve my tonsils out of my throat. «Hold up!» I said. «Before you do that, I want to try one more thing first…»
I came to Jasmine for my first-​ever experiences with acupuncture. I fell fast asleep during my first session — it was that relaxing and tension-​relieving. She spent a great deal of time with me, making sure to be complete and comprehensive in each session. She takes various insurances too, which is incredible, and I only had to pay my co-​pay each time.
In 2011, before I knew about Jasmine, I had 5 tonsil infections, and had to be put on antibiotics, steroids, and painkillers 5 times.
I started seeing her in the beginning of 2012.
In 2012, I had zero, and am still going strong.
I swear, this woman healed me. If you want a truly different experience from traditional Western medicine, I highly recommend seeing Jasmine Berke. You may just start believing in miracles!

She is amazing and on a whole different level than other acupuncturists. She really takes the time necessary to address everything and is very knowledgeable about all body issues. Her technique is different than other practitioners I have been to, much more «hands-​on» which might not be comfortable for some people expecting to just get the needles. But I think it is more effective in diagnosing and addressing the issues. Thank you Jasmine for working with me and helping my body to heal.

Jasmine is wonderful. I have been receiving treatment for more than 6 months and love every minute. She treats the Body, Mind and Spirit. She doesn’t rush the appointment, she spends time at the beginning of the session to listen to what is going on in your life and how it may be affecting your body. Jasmine’s table is the ONLY place I fully relax except when I’m asleep at home. I highly recommend her.

I promised myself that if I ever tried acupuncture I would only go to a Chinese practitioner. Well, then western medicine failed me and I found Jasmine. She wasn’t Chinese but I went to her anyway. Having a PhD in western nursing I was very skeptical about acupuncture but was desparate. Jasmine is a true expert, had patience with me and kept me off narcotics for plantar fascitis and for an infectious arthralgia. Both eventually went away and I am convinced I healed much faster – I even threw away the motrin. Unexpectantly, each treatment took away all IBS symptoms for 5 days! Now Jasmine is in my Rolodex.

I have been seeing Jasmine on and off for 10 years. When she moved to Capitola I didn’t want to drive so far to see her, so I attempted seeing several other acupuncturists. I couldn’t figure out why their treatments didn’t resolve my issues. So I drove out to Capitola for a treatment. Wow, she really is different than other practitioners. I now try and get to see her every other week.
She takes most insurances and everyone I have recommended her to loves her. She truly has a gift for healing.
