Chalita Photikoe Acupuncture

Chalita is a miracle worker.
I had an office visit over the weekend, and as a result of my visit, had TWO great nights of sleep and a lot of relief from my sciatica. Chalita has a gift! Thank you Chalita for your professionalism and listening to my needs.

I was referred to Chalita from a friend of my sisters. I’ve been seeing her for a couple weeks and I can see and feel a difference. She knows her stuff and is very caring. I will definitely continue seeing her and would highly recommend her. It’s a convenient location, clean, comfortable and affordable.

Chalita is fantastic! She is a healer, a listener, and an amazing woman. I was first referred to her while I was dealing with infertility. Then, before I could organize myself to make an appointment, I got pregnant. I had terrible morning sickness so I sought out Chalita again.
I was anxious about being still enough to receive an acupuncture treatment — not so much about the needles but the time! I just don’t usually sit still. My fears were put aside after a thorough and thoughtful intake and a wonderful and effective first experience. I was amazed how relaxed I felt afterward. To be honest, the morning sickness was not completely relieved but it took the edge off. The most miraculous thing to me was so centered and «right.» I felt after each treatment.
I have seen Chalita to treat morning sickness, anxiety, a repetitive stress injury (that was not dramatically healed by physical therapy and rest but was tremendously relieved by acupuncture and bio puncture). Chalita and Amie have been amazing throughout some the most challenging transitions of my life.
Now that I am finally out of the «new mama» woods I am making time to take care of myself just for me. Regular visits to the clinic provide effective and safe relief from a variety of specific issues but I most appreciate the feeling of wholeness that I feel after leaving. I have an acceptance of myself where I am and feel ready to take on life’s next challenge. What could be better?

Tamalpais Community Accupuncture provides a wonderful service to the community in a comfortable environment for a very reasonable cost. I have been to many other providers throughout the Bay Area, costing far more, and this group rates way above the others. Chalita, my practitioner of choice, and the other associates I have encountered are very professional, effective and caring. Due to a chronic disability, I live with intense pain and have taken varioius «pain killers» that endanger my life expectancy. Chelita has provided me with timely relief that actually lasts and I no longer take «meds» for pain. I agree with Ondina Nandine that she is «smart, intuitive and generous.» She is also kind and generous.

Hi Chalita,
I wanted to let you know that after seeing you yesterday, I started having contractions — low intensity, about 5/​hour. That went on until 9:30pm when they picked up in intensity and by 10:30 I was in active labor. My baby boy was born 3 hours later (1:23am)!! I had a waterbirth at home and it was amazing and intense. Thank you for your energy to help him come into this world. It was such a pleasure to meet you!
Best,
Alicia

Chalita is amazing. I’ve been to her many times for various things. I was not able to become pregnant after 1.5 years and she got me pregnant that was just astonishing. She’s helped with stress, depression, repetitive stress, she’s really great. She also really nice, relaxed & calming. I feel lucky to have found her and have her to continue my well being.

The concept of acupuncture was new to me; though was willing to try it as was having trouble getting pregnant. From the start, Chalita created a warm, nurturing, trusting environment that allowed me to learn, relax and focus on creating an optimal environment for conceiving. We worked together to balance eastern/​western approaches and managing my work stress levels. Within 6 months I was pregnant and both my husband and I grateful to Chalita. I’m still addicted to acupuncture, better than getting a massage! Only wish we were still ‘local’ to continue seeing her.

I have been to a number of different acupuncturists all over the Bay Area over the years and hands down Chalita is my favorite.
Not only has she managed to ameliorate various ailments ranging from the emotional to the physical to the hormonal but she is smart, intuitive and generous.
Her idea to set up an affordable acupuncture clinic in Mill Valley means I can refer my clients to her confident in the knowledge that they will be in good hands and able to arrange ongoing treatments as necessary.
I highly recommend Chalita if you are looking for a 5 star but affordable acupuncturist in Marin!

Chalita was the first acupuncturist I’d ever visited, and I was in dire shape when I came in to her office back in 2006. She helped me heal from shellfish poisoning, and with a combination of acupuncture treatments and herbal remedies, I was able to make a complete recovery without resorting to antibiotics. Admittedly, I was wary of needles at first, but Chalita’s gentle, sensitive treatment put me quickly at ease. I have continued coming in since then for «tune ups» — which are very helpful for my menstrual cycle, digestion, and general circulation. I personally prefer taking advantage of the private treatment room, where I can relax completely. Afterwards, I feel exceptionally renewed! I love her.
