Attune Acupuncture

I feel extremely lucky to be a client of Sarah. I have insomnia, night sweats, depression and throw in some every now and again joint issues from running. She has helped me with all of my problems through accupuncture, Chinese herbs and experience in her field. I look forward to my appointments I wouldn’t go if it didn’t help me, although she is fun to talk to.

Sarah has been a wonderful addition to my general wellness and preventive care. Whether it is a physical or emotional issue, she is an avid listener and excellent practitioner. Sarah’s space is warm and comfortable and I always leave restored and well cared for. Highly recommend!

I cannot give enough positive feed back to Sarah and Attune Acupuncture. Sarah has literally changed my life with her practice. She has helped with my allergies, weakened immune system, anxiety and more. Her approach is holistic, touching all parts of your mind, body and spirit. She implements and suggests multiple modalities for care. Sarah is also wonderfully empathetic and wholehearted in how she cares. It is exceptional.

I have been seeing Sarah for acupuncture for several years now. She is wonderful!!! When I first started seeing her I could barely move my neck and I had a headache. She put a needle in my foot and I instantly felt something in my foot. I asked her about it and she said that that needle was for my headache. By the end of the session my headache was gone!
More recently, I had been having allergic reactions to preservatives which resulted in scales (literally!) on my face, hairline and back into the scalp. Once I had the allergies figured out I could not get rid of the scales on my scalp. Between the acupuncture and the herbal remedies prescribed by Sarah the scales were gone within a month!!!
Give acupuncture with Sarah a try. You will wonder how you ever went so long without trying it!

So, you know when you see solidly raving Unilocal reviews? And you’re like… this Sarah girl just can’t be THAT good at sticking people with needles. Well, she’s pretty dang good.
Not that many people know this about me, but I actually studied pre-​med and for a moment I thought about going into holistic medicine (which, in hindsight, was a crazy idea because at the time I had never experienced any holistic treatments). Anyway point is: acupuncture, naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine… it’s fascinating to me. Fast forward many years and I finally wise up and try acupuncture at Attune and really like it.
I’ve been seeing Sarah for a little over a month now. We started with weekly sessions for about four weeks and now have moved to monthly-​ish sessions. I liked her from the get-​go, but I feel like am starting to feel real results too: less back/​shoulder pain, lower stress levels, clearer skin. I’m sure it’s a combination of other things too, but I’ll definitely give her some credit where it’s due! :)
We had a very thorough consultation right before the first treatment – she asks more questions and gets into more detail than ANY doctor you will probably ever have (she even had me record a 7-​day diet log). She’s a very good listener and checks in on numerous things before each regular session too in order to figure out if anything should be adjusted in the treatment plan. I’m a curious cat, and she’s great at answering my weird (and sometimes technical) questions.
The actual acupuncture isn’t scary at all. The only time it actually felt uncomfortable for a minute was when she did the points in the ear, but even that wasn’t so bad after a few minutes. In fact, the whole thing is so relaxing that I almost always fall asleep with the needles in. As a frame of reference, it takes me a minimum of a half-​hour to fall asleep normally. The immediate after-​effects vary, but the first treatment I was so relaxed afterwards that I just kinda drove home in a cloud. And I almost always sleep better the night after a treatment.
I feel like acupuncture is something that can seem inaccessible to some people. One of the best things about Attune is that it’s not so far over on the alternative spectrum that I feel out of place wearing mascara and carrying a leather bag (for lack of a better example). Her office is small and calming, sans patchouli.
Costs vary a bit, but the initial session is $ 90 and then it’s $ 70/​per follow-​up session. My blessed California health insurance covers acupuncture, so I feel lucky to be able to afford this kind of treatment with only a reasonable co-​pay. Sarah doesn’t bill insurance companies directly (some acupuncturists do), but she is helping me put together the paperwork I’ll need to get reimbursed.
In addition to the acupuncture treatments, Sarah prescribed some herbs through an online pharmacy too and was cost-​conscious in keeping it under $ 1/​day. (P.S. From someone who tried to concoct her own herbal tinctures a few years ago, it is ill-​advised to DIY like a mad scientist. See a professional who knows what they are doing, for your own sake.)
One last thing I like about Sarah is that unlike some practitioners (in any field), she doesn’t seem to WANT to see you. She seems to genuinely want you to feel healthy and need treatments LESS often. It’s refreshing.

I’m so glad that I found Sarah. I saw her initially for a stress-​related outbreak of shingles, and have been back since for other issues (stress, PMS, etc). She is not only an expert in Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but also just a really kind, caring, awesome person. I completely trust her recommendations and have definitely seen improvement after being treated by her. Plus, it’s soooo relaxing — she puts the needles in and I just drift into a calm, relaxed place where time stops as my body heals. Plus, she knows some really cool things. Case in point: If you have too much heat in your body, stick to wheat beer! Good to know, right?
Thanks Sarah!

I was very skeptical of trying acupuncture, but after I was plagued with injuries in my back that wouldn’t go away, I decided to try it. Why not?
After having a few sessions with Sarah, I think it is safe to say I am seeing results! I am feeling better. What I like most is that Sarah takes the time each session to ask how I am doing and answer any questions. She genuinely cares. I never feel rushed when I’m there.
I would DEFINITELY recommend Sarah for acupuncture!

LOVING THE RESULTS! First off, Sarah is the highest quality human being out there. I know that I can trust her every step of the way. She is so kind and caring that beyond the Chinese medicine and wisdom, I feel that I am spending time with someone whom is genuinely interested in my well being. She is a SUPERB listener. That means that she takes in the information I am giving her and translates it into the proper protocol for that day’s session. Her technique with the needles is excellent. I just lay back and relax knowing that I have thirty minutes to rest, heal, and restore my body toward optimum health. Immediately, I have noticed reduced back pain (a chronic problem I have had for over ten years) and reduced P.M.S. symptoms. She even helped me the day I had a hangover! Now that’s talent. I highly recommend Sarah and Attune Acupuncture.

I’ve been to several acupuncturists and Sarah is the best. She has excellent technique, makes you comfortable and most important she considers ALL of my symptoms and history when treating with needles and herbs. She is clearly highly intelligent and very empathetic. I live in LA now so can’t see her regularly, but I continue to consult with her and always run my treatments and herbs past her. I trust her with my health, which isn’t something I often say.

Because of Attune Acupuncture, I am no longer having monthly migraines. Sarah Larson really listens and tracks the various health issues I bring to her to make sure they are improving or remedied each time I come in. Sarah offers holistic suggestions to complement the acupuncture treatments but does not suggest more than is necessary. A nice side benefit is that I leave every session feeling at ease, content and relaxed (as someone who was originally nervous about acupuncture, that came as a very pleasant surprise!).

Sarah is one of the most enthusiastic and passionate people I have ever had the pleasure to see for acupuncture. Her energy and knowledge of this form of healing makes you want to keep learning more about what she can do to help you. Some might not believe this form of healing really works, but I have experienced it and fully believe it can in so many different ways. If you are on the fence or want to find out for yourself, please go check her out. It will be worth the trip.
