Wellfit Studio

Had my first acupuncture and cupping treatment at Wellfit today. As a fitness professional myself, I couldn’t be happier with the service I received today. Anna and her staff are top notch and I don’t have any reservations sending over anyone who is seeking a knowledgeable and educated staff. Thanks so much Anna! My lower back feels awesome!!!

Anna Israel saved me from being knocked down by seasonal illness.
When I went to see her, I was expecting the typical acupuncture treatment (I have seen many acupuncturists in different countries) but I was really impressed by her use of breathing and relaxation techniques coupled with acupuncture. It allowed for a full-​body relaxation response that had me floating on cloud 9.
She took my pulse and informed me that I was on the brink of getting sick and that I should take the day to relax and forgo my gym plans. I really appreciated this and, after the treatment, really felt more rejuvenated and refreshed. Highly Recommended!

Anna has been helping me for almost a month now overcome a host of maladies (insomnia, herniated disc, cleanses etc).
She is gentle, warm, an amazing listener and one who brings a fresh perspective to the world you don’t see very often at all.
I have had great results with her. Additionally, her diagnostic powers are great. Before my back injury was diagnosed from an MRI she had already accurately predicted exactly what the MRI would later show weeks later.
I recommend her to all, and not just for acupuncture. In the near future I anticipate going to her center for massage, chiropractor and stretching.

Feeling run down, I made a last minute appointment for treatment, which the office accommodated right away. That was a nice surprise as I was already in the city.
One word, wowsas!
It’s not everyday you find a great healer. I’ve been receiving needles since I was 7 yrs old and I’ve experienced many different practitioners — Anna is world class. Her precise and gentle touch coupled with her wisdom of the body make the experience deeply cathartic.
If you’re looking for help with your health and wellbeing go see Anna.

As a busy entrepreneur, optimal wellness is not always easy to maintain… but of course, is of paramount importance. I’m very grateful to have found Anna and her team at Boston Whole Body Health, to support my health and energy levels, as I work long hours… (and head back into another long, cold winter!)
Anna is a wealth of information, and has an impressive array of training in various modalities — that address both the internal AND external aspects of wellness. During our sessions, Anna is always kind, present, and patient as she listens to my situation, and needs, taking time to customize solutions. She is a healer who «walks the talk,» and is committed to her own wellness and evolution, as well as her patients’. I look forward to future visits.

Wow! On the other side of the cleanse I did with Anna, I feel like a new person! My energy and vitality are back.
After being in Thailand for a month, I returned home and my body felt out of balance. I tried changing my diet, exercising and supplementing myself without feeling a change.
Now, I don’t feel wild energy dips in the afternoons or the food cravings I’ve had in the past. I’m not hungry at all between meals. The bloating I was noticing after meals is gone. I’ve also slimmed down, not my goal for the cleanse, but always nice to feel lean and ready for springtime! I’m going to keep eating like I have been on the cleanse because I feel SO good. :) Thanks so much Anna!

I had my first coaching session with Anna in December. Before, I wasn’t sure about how to proceed with an important decision regarding a possible career change. She helped me go trough this transition, helping me to turn my dreams into specific goals and designing a plan to make them real. In a supportive and professional way, she is bringing me out of my comfort zone to fulfill the plan I wrote. I started seeing the results and that makes me really excited.
During my sessions with Anna I had huge breakthroughs. One of the insights I gained was that I need to be kind to myself on my journey and at the same maintain a strong work ethic to materialize my goals.
Anna is perceptive and caring. She understands my spiritual and my material aspirations. I always feel at ease at our sessions and I enjoy very much her professionalism and her great energy. Her coaching helped me to focus my scattered energy into a worthwhile project.
I look forward to my next session with her!

Anna is the best. I was at my wit’s end trying to deal with my endometriosis, and was done trying to visit doctors (of western medicine) who didn’t help me at all. I’ve been seeing Anna for a little over two months and i’m so happy to say that I have little to no nausea during my period [sorry if TMI :)] and my previously debilitating cramps have relented significantly. She treats me body and soul, and provides diet, exercise and supplement regiments that make me feel good, and delivers them with a compassionate yet professional and cool bedside manner.
Anna also helped me kick my serious addiction to sweets, which I never ever thought I could do. That alone is astounding. And, as a nice aside, I lost some weight as well by following her diet and exercise recommendations, and I just feel so much better in general.
Like many of these other reviewers, I had 0 experience with acupuncture and was a bit skeptical, especially after being let down by other practitioners I’d seen about my endometriosis.
Go see Anna!

Working with Anna has been nothing short of life saving. I have been suffering from adrenal fatigue for a number of years, with accompanying weight gain and very low energy. After seeing Anna regularly for a combination of acupuncture and supplements I feel almost completely recovered from a condition that plagued me for a number of years and didn’t respond to other forms of treatment, both conventional and alternative. I’ve lost 15 pounds, have enough energy to have been able to resume exercising and am no longer experiencing symptoms that used to be incredibly disruptive. Anna is a very gifted and highly intuitive healer.

Being new to acupuncture and battling viral bugs for the past few years, Anna made me feel completely comfortable and confident. She’s super gentle and takes you through step by step. There is nothing stressful about this experience! Anna’s herbal coaching had me feeling better just days after my first treatment. I highly recommend Anna to anyone seeking a holistic healing approach.

This review is an update on my last visit. I just had my second appointment with Anna and am excited by the results I am having. She gave me some herbal supplements after my first session to help treat adrenal fatigue, a metallic taste I was having and to treat an imbalance with my gallbladder. The herbs worked perfectly. I am so glad that I decided to try acupuncture and herbal remedies. I look forward to my next appointment with Anna.

I’ve been nothing but thrilled with my experiences with Anna and Wellfit Studio. Having never done acupuncture before, I sought it out while trying to get pregnant. I’d read it might help and I wanted to make sure I was doing everything possible to make our dream of having a child come true.
Anna was understanding and welcoming. Her offices are modern and clean. Not only did I find the acupuncture relaxing and remarkably pleasant, Anna also offered helpful tips for nutrition and vitamins. Anna has a very gentle approach and at no time did I feel pressured in any way. I was happy to become pregnant 3 months after starting to see Anna.
I then continued to see Anna throughout the first trimester to help with my early pregnancy nausea. The treatments were very helpful and it definitely helped to decrease my sickness.
I’d highly recommend Anna to anyone considering acupuncture.

Anna has helped me recover from several injuries and so much more through her amazing acupuncture and fantastic advice beyond from exercises to supplements which across the board all helped me to feel better and continuously do so.
I admire her holistic approach in analysis and treatment such as her aura and positive energy. My well-​being is in great hands with her.

Anna provides a holistic approach to treating my lower body pain the incorporates acupuncture, stretching, and nutritional supplements. She strikes the delicate balance between being compassionate, yet professional and tough (in a good way). Most importantly, her therapy has brought a degree of relief that is unmatched by my previous (mis)adventures with chiropractors, physical therapists, orthopedists, etc. Anna is good with male clients. As an athlete, she understands problems surrounding acute and chronic injury and she has plenty of physical strength to adjust/​move larger bodies any way she needs to. My pain hasn’t flipped off like a light switch but it definitely has become more manageable. At the same time, she has addressed problems related to fatigue, stress, and anxiety that I didn’t even think were problems — I just though they were part of the ‘new normal’.
The practice is in a lovely part of Back Bay with decent parking and elevator access. Treatments aren’t exactly cheap but I think they are worth every penny. As other testimonials have stated, Anna truly is a healer who has mastered her craft. Branch out, go see her.

Wellfit Studios is a unique healing center in Boston that combines the best of Eastern and Western natural healing traditions.
It is rare to find a clinic that combines exceptional acupuncture with the highest level Whole Food Nutrition and Western Herbal Medicine. The combination of these different healing modalities allows for the widest range of support for anyone coming here. From wellness and prevention to a more serious health challenge, Wellfit and Anna have the tools to help everyone.
There is truly no place in Boston like Wellfit and can be a great choice for anyone starting and finishing their path to wellness and healing.

I like to think of myself as a modern viking. Invincible. With a strong constitution and a general weariness for trendy new age elitist healing methods. Yoga… pfft! Pilates… pfft!
Well, I am stupid. Obviously there is nothing new-​agey about Accupuncture. Or those other healing methods. My so called strong constitution is another way of saying I don’t pay attention to what my body is telling me. I am not actually well. I need help. I need healing.
And I know I have come to the right place.
Wellness is alive here. Fitness is alive here. Anna is capable of dialing into YOUR needs. Which for me is critical. I know she is equally capable of helping all walks of life. From the super fit, to the diabolically unhealthy. I always feel strangely oddly beautifully better when I leave. And Anna is a cross between my biggest fan and my toughest couch. She wants to be better. Healthier. She wants me to live.
This is one of the best rooms you can walk into. Calm. Warm. Soft and open. Relaxing and thoughtful. With a strong capacity to diagnose and alleviate.
Run, don’t walk, to Wellfit.

When I was recommended to Anna for treatment, I was seeking pain relief, increased mobility, and a head start on my recovery from an acute back injury. To be honest I was nervous and excited to try acupuncture. I came in for my appointment at her pleasant office. Anna is polite, punctual, and professional. She greeted me with a smile and began my intake interview (normal stuff). A few things I loved about her interview:
— she remembered why I was seeing here without having to have me remind her of basic details
— she asked questions
–she accurately and concisely answered my questions and explained my treatment
–I didn’t feel rushed
Anna succeeded in making my first acupuncture appointment comfortable, helpful, and a pleasant experience. I really feel that acupuncture aided in my recovery to my back injury both immediately and now 1 month later. I would not hesitate to return to Wellfit to see Anna again and I am very curious/​optimistic about her treatment for chronic issues. Good job!

I experienced an infectious malady with my left ear 7 months ago. This has left me with tinnitus, frequent ear clogging episodes, and odd sensations. Two trips to the PCP and three to the ENT have left me with little relief. I am intellectually a believer in Eastern thought and thus it’s medicine, but have yet to actually give a real try, my beliefs we’re confirmed by Anna.
So, I made an appointment with Anna and I am very impressed with immediate results. My ear has not clogged once since seeing here and the weird sensations are at near zero and the tinnitus has reduced to a bearable amount. I am looking forward to continuing acupuncture sessions and improved health. If found the acupuncture session extremely calming, revitalizing and fascinating. I was blown away by how could readily feel my Chi being released as she inserted the needles. Anna also massaged and worked my head and ear area, which I so sorely needed, it was a great release of suffering and anxiety for me, as this condition has been weighing me down. I found the whole experience very pleasant and it’s nice to know there are effective treatments out there beyond the traditional western medicine that really work!

I called Anna because I was in need of repair after a daunting year of marathons, obstacle course races and Crossfitting. She understood how to treat me using acupuncture and whole food supplements. Her understanding of the body being very fit herself, she is able to explain the procedure in a way you can understand and also keep you calm if you are new to acupuncture. Injuring herself in the past and told by doctors she would not fully recover, gave her the motivation to learn everything it took to get back to healthy. She believes in her practice and it shows! I have been in treatment twice a week for a month and I’ve already seen improvements.
I highly recommend Anna for acupuncture, body and nutrition awareness!

I saw Anna well after I started to resign myself to a lifetime of chronic fatigue issues that had been plaguing me for 3 years. In spite my best friends considering me a bit of a health nut, I figured maybe better diet, more exercise, and more rest would help. Unfortunately, that just left me with less waking time to do all the other things I needed to function in this world.
A friend recommended Anna to me and while skeptical, I took the plunge. She found a lot of buildup of toxicity in my body (chlorine, et al). She had me go on a cleanse and gave me an intense pill régime, but shortly after seeing her I could already tell my energy levels were returning; I was no longer brain dead/​exhausted at 10 pm (or any other time in the day), dragging myself through exercise, etc. While I still had to sleep, eat well, and workout, I was reaping rewards for these things rather than just burning time on them!
Would strongly recommend giving a try if you have been having issues that you are having a hard time finding a solution for.

Acupuncture by Anna, how I love thee? Let me count the ways…
The quiet relaxation that makes you feel totally refreshed,
The notion that the person that’s treating you actually cares,
The heightened sense of well-​being and feeling centered,
and the desire to dance every time you float out of the room.
For all of the above reasons I would highly suggest a session with Anna Israel. As a total eastern medicine neophyte, I appreciated that Anna took the time to describe the various procedures and their intended benefit. She also does a thorough and thoughtful assessment of your condition and mindset, in order to provide an informed and personalized therapy.
(And if your chock full of toxins, you may want to consider the cupping… It leaves a mark, but you’ll thank her for it!)

Anna is truly a pro with the care that she gives!
This has been my first experience with Western Medicine and I came to Anna’s studio with multiple issues that have been affecting me in my daily life. Including a sore lower back and a lot of tension due to stress. She was very understanding, and kind, taking the time to work with me on breathing and relaxation techniques. Her warm bedside manner and gentle hands were extremely comforting.
I have now been coming to see her on a regular basis, and am amazed with the difference that i notice day to day.
I highly recommend Well fit, and give a lot of praise to Anna for her professionalism and skill!
