Inspire Family & Pediatric Acupuncture of the East Bay Area: Oakland

"I had a great experience with Inspire Family Acupuncture. I really felt like Janet heard me, understood what my concerns were, and thoughtfully provided a solution. I felt calm, relaxed, and supported for the rest of the day. I can't wait to also work with Navarre and explore some herbs."

"Janet is very thorough and knowledgable. She clearly cares deeply for her patients. I feel totally comfortable with her and trust that I'm good hands. She has helped me with muscoskeletal pain, digestive issues and respiratory health."

"I started going to Janet because my 10 yo son was experiencing eczema and trouble concentrating in school. As a hypnotherapist, we were doing our work at home but the hour or so that we spend in her office is like a total reset for him. In our first session she explained to him the difference between acupressure and acupuncture and allowed him to choose his preferred method, he chose acupressure. He was also able to check out and experience all her tools, which he talked about how cool they were later that night. During our second session he was so relaxed that he fell asleep on her table, and after our third session, he was so relaxed for the rest of the night that I got extra cuddle time and then he put himself to bed a little earlier than normal bedtime! BIG PLUS! As far as the eczema, we haven’t seen another outbreak, and his overall energy feels much more calm and collected. I highly recommend Janet, she’s intuitive, caring, compassionate, and great with kids! And the best of all is the feeling of starting your kid down a path of self-care. PRICELESS! I also personally experienced her acupuncture, she is always gentle and I felt heard as she took the time to review me as a whole system. Most notably though, I was having some knee pain and swelling after starting a new exercise routine which I super love and don’t want to give up! After seeing Janet, she worked her magic and the knee pain was resolved. I was able to continue with my program that next night. I really appreciate acupuncture as a modality but Janet brings that true healer energy of caring and compassion to her practice that you don’t always find. If you’re thinking about acupuncture or thinking about taking your kids, you’ve found the right person! She’s great! Thank you Janet for all that you do!"

"As a fellow heath coach, and someone who has struggled with their own pain and have seen mannnnnny people for help... I really appreciated Janet's work! My back feels noticeably better. Janet is also very thorough and knowledgeable, separating herself from others in the field. I will recommend her to my clients :)"
