Anita Acevedo, MSW

I just recently met Anita and had my first treatment from her. She is extraordinary; incredibly intuitive, sensitive, aware and talented. I’ve been going to chiropractors, acupuncturists, and other therapists for years. Never have I experienced someone more sensitive and aware than Anita. I look forward with with relish for my next visit.

Anita is amazing, I’ve known her for years. My whole family has worked with her as have other people I know. She is extremely gifted on many levels and totally professional. She is kind, gentle person with rare talents.
(I would disregard the bad review below — sounds totally unlike Anita.)

I’ve been going to Anita for over four years. First I went through the entire Rolfing series of 10 sessions, which was amazing. Now I see Anita mostly for craniosacral with some muscle manipulation thrown in when needed. When I recently crashed on my bike, I called Anita and she put me back together — and also convinced me to take it easy for a while because I had been minimizing the seriousness of the crash.
Anita is incredibly gifted. All she has to do is stand behind me and put her hands on my shoulders for me to feel where I’m out of alignment. She is an eternal student in the best sense of the word, with a background in counseling, rolfing, craniosacral, osteopathy, and probably loads of other training I don’t even know about because Anita is also incredibly humble.
She is like a bodhisattva with a soft southern accent. We are very fortunate to have her in the Bay Area.

I don’t know what that other Unilocal reviewer is talking about! Anita is amazing. Her ability to heal with her hands is extraordinary. Her cranial sacral technique is the best I have ever experienced. She does a lot of osteopathy –traditional — so her ability to correct dysfunction of the body is pofound.
I highly recommend her!!!

I wish I could give her 12 stars!!! Anita is hands down the most intelligent rolfer I’ve ever found. She is one who never ceases to amaze me with her dedication to her education and her wide breadth of understanding the human bodies many different levels. She is savvy enough to know that they are all connected and need to be in harmony in order to heal. She has transformed my body in ways I could have never imagined, I can not recommend her highly enough!

I visited this person in hopes of finding some relief from the extreme pain that I had from heel spurs (you get these from overuse like running and dancing). The first time that I went, she seemed to be doing a lot of manipulations and my foot really felt better afterward. The second time I visited her, I realized that she is a hack. She didn’t seem to want to do the rolfing that I was there for – it seemed that she really wanted to try to experiment with being a counselor and there is no way that I will believe that she is trained, certified or licensed to be doing anything of that sort. I was going through a very difficult time in my life and she insisted on bullying me and saying the most strangely insensitive things without even knowing anything about me (i.e. after asking me what was going on in my life she said «why don’t you stop blathering on about your problems and do something about them!») The license on the wall says that she is a licensed counselor in Alaska. That doesn’t mean that she is licensed in California.
She also told me that I walk like Squarebob Spongepants. I think that she thought that she was funny, yet I was crippled with pain at the time.
