Larkin Acupuncture

I saw Jonah for acupuncture after I popped my shoulder out of it’s socket.
I had never done acupuncture before, but after just 6 appointments I felt significantly better. I have popped my shoulder out before and was healthy and strong in about half the time (3 months with vs 6 months with out acupuncture) and was able to be active again.
Jonah has a thorough knowledge of the body and was very helpful to me with my injury. I highly recommend him.

I’ve seen Jonah for a number of issues over the years: infertility, stress, muscle pain, fatigue, insomnia. He is amazing. Whilst we normally go for acupuncture, he has occasionally chosen cupping or hypnotherapy. He takes most company insurance, and so I continue to see him even when I am perfectly well and healthy (he is better than any therapist). As well as being a skilled healer, he is a truly interesting and good person. His office is professional and comfortable. Parking and booking are both easy. I don’t hesitate to recommend him.

Jonah is your go-​to person for acupuncture and coaching! He is an extensively trained practitioner with a solid background of experience working with a wide range of issues. In his practice of functional medicine — including sports medicine, mental health, transformational acupuncture or herbal/​nutritional therapies, Jonah provides highly skilled help specifically designed for your particular issues.
As a psychotherapist, I’m comfortable referring my clients to him as I know they will be well taken care of.
I’m also personally aware of how important it can be to work with a healer intimate with the physical and energetic bodies to guide and facilitate comprehensive recovery and growth from various injuries and challenges. Jonah is very dedicated to his work and he walks the walk. I highly recommend him.

Jonah is simply wonderful. For nearly a year I suffered through plantar fasciitis. As an Ironman triathlete, it was devastating. I did everything possible to recover from this awful injury. Enter Jonah, from the very first appointment it was obvious he truly cares about his patients. It’s always very relaxing and informative visiting his office. He’s a true healer. He realized I had an imbalance making the recovery process difficult. After regular treatments and a few tests, the proof was in the pudding. I followed what he prescribed (all natural) and trusted that it would improve. Fast forward, I am now FREE of debilitating foot pain and I’m getting better daily. Jonah was my first acupuncture experience, an excellent choice!

Jonah is a world class specialist and our elite athletes and clients get seen by him when they require his amazing skill sets and expert knowledge.
In my 15 years working with some of the best medical and injury management specialists around the world Jonah would fit right in with them and hold his own.
He has provided us excellent results and continues to be part of our Intergrated team of specialists here at SFPT (Simon Fathers Performance Training)

I couple years ago I was curious about acupuncture, so I figured i’d give it a try for no particular reason. It made me feel good, but I saw no reason to go back. Not long after, I had a series of high-​stress events take turns slapping me in the face. I was really at a loss on how to deal with this stress in a healthy way. Usually running has done the trick, but not so much this time. I remembered acupuncture, so I decided to give it a try. It is really hard to put into words how much Jonah helped me deal with my stress and got me back on track to feeling in control of my body. His easy going nature and calm demeanor are icing on the cake, but his secret sauce is the holistic approach he takes to healing. Ask him about the Mastering Your Energy course and custom software he’s developed to support it. Really, really interesting. I cannot recommend Jonah Larkin more highly!

First off, I want to mention that my skin cleared up after my acupuncture treatment with Jonah. That is no small victory, lemme tell you. My adult acne has been a doozy, but I like to think that it keeps me young. Ah, how I feel like I’m sixteen! Anyhow, that wasn’t even the point of my treatment, as I went to him for an overall immune booster during flu season. I’m currently caring for an immuncompromised loved one and I NEED to NOT GET SICK and that’s where Jonah came in. He practices out of the Well Clinic, which I’ve already said that I like. Now I’m even more of a fan because of Jonah’s skill. Jonah has a calm to him, yet a clear enthusiasm for health. He exudes that health and strength and I thought, this is the guy to keep me on the up and up. I was right. I kicked whatever virus or cold I felt I was coming down with. He asked me gently what my goals were, why I came to him, a brief medical history. He did this cool cleansing smoke thing near my ear, which I can’t remember the name of, but was the most relaxing, fantastic thing. If you go to him and ask him for it, he’ll know what I’m talking about. Just say this random girl on Unilocal told you to ask but can’t remember the name. (Disclaimer though, I’m not even sure everyone needs it.) I have had acupuncture before so I thought I knew the drill, but Jonah brought a whole new energy and approach that I totally appreciated. I will definitely be going back very soon.

I have known Jonah for many years. He has helped me on a number of occasions. I have called him when I have concerns with overall health or just want someone who can listen to my health concerns and explain viable treatment options in a concise way.
When I’ve been to the doctor and gotten blood tests I’ve sent them over to Jonah. He’s taken a look at them and actually explained the results unlike my MD. When I’ve wanted to improve my brain health, my stamina and my focus Jonah has ordered functional medicine tests and then suggested treatment options. When I’ve been sick I’ve taken herbs he’s ordered for me.
Jonah has not only helped me. He’s helped several of my friends and family members as well. He’s pretty much the first person I call when I have health questions.

Jonah is amazing! Super smart, patient and a genuine healer. I’m getting so much out of my sessions with him. I HIGHLY recommend him!

Jonah is a wonderful and talented healer. When I first visited Jonah, I was working at a startup super long hours and a little bit of wrist pain.
I went to see Jonah for the wrist pain and within two or three treatments it really improved. He also suggested some basic relaxation exercises in order to keep my arm and wrist pain free.
I highly recommend giving Jonah a try — you won’t be disappointed!

I met Jonah in a group we both belong to. My wife has been going to acupuncture for years and I was curious to experience it for myself and trusted Jonah.
I have to say it was surprisingly relaxing. I don’t know if I was just tired or it was from the needles but the relaxation felt like it came in waves.

Jonah explained that acupuncture works to relax the body and relieve stress by calming down the nervous system. It’s basically like an operating system reset. Overall, a great experience and I slept great that night as well.

I hadn’t had acupuncture done for a long time before going to Jonah a few weeks back. We met in a taichi class last year and I was really curious to see how he worked. I didn’t really know what to expect, but I told him I wanted to feel more relaxed, focused and less stressed, and didn’t have any other major complaints.
Before we started Jonah walked me through what he’d be doing and why, and that was actually very good for me. I have a slight fear of needles, and it set me at ease that he was walking me through what he was doing, the purpose of it all, and how it could help me.
When he actually put the needles in, he kept talking to me and helped me identify a few areas in my body where I had been holding on to some tension, possibly due to unresolved emotions. Once those areas were identified he worked to help me release them. It was certainly different than what I was used to with other types of physical therapy or chiropractic work, but still heplful and something I’d do again. The needles weren’t painful, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the process ultimately helpful. I walked out of his office feeling a bit lighter and happy to have experienced something new that had helped me release some bodily tension.
The office itself (the well clinic) is actually also very nice and inviting. The modern touches were nice, and the whole place had really good energy/​vibe about it. I look forward to visiting him again for future acupuncture work.

As a license acupuncturist, I can be very selective of who I get treatments from. I was fortunate to have been introduced to Jonah years ago before he became an acupuncturist, so when I needed a treatment on my visit in SF, I knew who to go to. Jonah is patient, attentive and easy to connect with. He is incredible genuine in his interest in natural medicine and acupuncture. I was completely intrigued by his commitment to a healthy lifestyle and the way he experiments with putting all his advise to practice in his own life. His experience and knowledge comes from not just reading about it, but actually experiencing things first hand. Jonah is a diamond in the big city, a rare find and I’m fortunate to have him as my acupuncturist and my colleague.

I work for a startup and as you can imagine I am under significant pressure to be «on» and perform. I was curious to see if acupuncture could help me deal with some of the stress of my work.
I saw Jonah in the SOMA/​Potrero location which is really nice. The office has a number of complementary practitioners including therapy and psychiatry. I wasn’t really sure what to expect with Chinese Medicine. Fortunately Jonah explained it in a clear and understandable manner. My understanding is that the body is treated as an integrated system, not a collection of parts like you might expect from your favorite doctor. Secondly the acupuncturist works to understand the root cause of whatever problem you are having. Once the underlying imbalance is addressed, symptoms will disappear.
The acupuncture was pleasant, pain free, and relaxing. I walked out feeling calm and energized, more so than I ever expected.

Jonah knows how to get results. I’ve known Jonah for a few years and was consulting with him about weight loss. He’s in great shape and I figured he’d have some ideas that could help me lose the spare tire I’ve acquired over the past couple of decades (I’m 52). Well, when he recommended a Paleo diet (low carb) I weighed 178 lbs when we first spoke, and I had basically given up on the idea that I could get back to my college weight of 164 lbs. About 2 months later I’ve lost 12 lbs and I’m now aiming to be leaner and meaner than I was in college
New goal is 158 and I’m well on my way. I owe it all to Jonah and his recommendations for diet and how to stay on track and stay healthy through the process. Looking better than I have in years! And I feel great, too. Thank you, Jonah.

I had no idea how relaxing Acupuncture could be until I spent an hour on Jonah’s massage table one day. I have a pretty stressful job and when I need a good reset, Jonah is the first person I call. He’s calm, exceptionally smart, nurturing, funny, positive, warm and has a genuinely fantastic soul. I leave feeling refreshed, awakened and ready to take on the world.

Jonah is hands down the most skilled acupuncturist I have ever been treated by.
He was able to help me with my Multiple Sclerosis symptoms, decreasing numbness and fatigue as well as clearing mental sluggishness.
He also was able to treat my insomnia and anxiety so predictably well that I always knew I would be able to sleep and generally function better after I saw him-​I would plan around it!
Jonah is a kind, present and thoughtful practitioner, he really listens and cares for the well-​being of his patients. He often did extra research on my case outside of our sessions, and was concerned with being current in his knowledge of treatment possibilities.
He’s also hilarious and fun to talk to, having that rare combination of serious thoroughness and humor that makes one feel at ease.
In short, he’s the ‘ninja’ acupuncturist, and that’s how I describe him when I refer people to him!

Jonah is great at what he does. When I did my first session with him, he set the expectation of what to expect in the session & how much improvement I should expect afterwards.
And I have to say that he was spot on! This was my first experience using acupuncture and I have to say that I’m definitely going back!
If you’re looking to try acupuncture for the first time, you should definitely hire Johan Larkin!!!

I’ve been seeing Jonah for 2 years now and during this time he has helped me with a lot of issues. My boyfriend calls him the «magic man» because whenever I come home from seeing him, I feel tremendously better.
Jonah has helped me with the following:
Lower back pain
Leg pain from a past injury
Minor whip lash
PMS
Nausea
Clogged sinuses
I’ve really gotten a lot of relief from my visits. Jonah has always made me feel really comfortable and I can tell he genuinely cares about my well-​being.
Jonah has been an important part of managing my health. I highly recommend him!

Jonah is a caring and compassionate healer. He goes above and beyond with his truly holistic approach. I have been to several acupuncturists, but Jonah is really much more than your average needle man. He seeks to truly understand your issues and makes and exhaustive effort to find a solution. I suffered from some chronic tense shoulder and with a combination of acupuncture, massage and herbs, the pain went away and I regained my range of motion.
Jonah also makes the effort to really check in at the beginning of each session and also brings up suggestions for additional treatment options that show he’s done his homework and thought about the patient. The Well Clinic is clean and full of other very competent practitioners. He’s also a really genuine guy with an extraordinary positive attitude. Thanks Jonah for your help!
