Rose Glavin

Rose helped me yet again with my third pregnancy! After Rose helped me with my two miracles, I assumed I could carry on my own the third time around, but unfortunately, I lost the pregnancy quite early and went to Rose in refuge. Her clinic is a true haven. She is such a kind soul who gives hope to those who so desperately need it. After a few months of visits/​herbs, I became pregnant and gave birth in the fall. My family is now complete and I owe it all to Rose. Thank you Rose for everything you’ve given me-​peace, serenity, health, and my 3 biggest blessings.

This review is long overdue, but I was thinking about how much I enjoyed my sessions with Rose the other day and decided better late than never to sing the praises of such gifted practitioner and warm soul. I started seeing Rose when I was trying to get pregnant. It was a rough time for me in my life, and not only did Rose go through great lengths to help me conceive, she also was a trusted warm presence and gentle ear during our sessions. She took into account everything that was happening when devising herb formulations, and my sessions with her were a wonderful reprieve from my hectic day and life. Although the odds were stacked heavily against me and my partner for getting pregnant, we did manage to conceive (he went to another practitioner in Oakland recommended by Rose). I stopped seeing Rose during my first trimester after developing hyperemesis gravidarum, which kept me out of the city. I missed our sessions, though, and am so grateful to Rose for her assistance in bringing my daughter into the world.

Rose is a wonderful resource for anyone who is trying to get pregnant. She was also a great help for me during both my pregnancies and with various ailments afterwards as well. She’s knowledgeable, approachable, clear, and comforting. Her office is an incredibly soothing space and she has a gentle touch with the needles! I cannot say enough good things about Rose and her practice.

This review is long over due.
First and most importantly, I started seeing Rose in June of 2011 and by November 2011 I was pregnant.
Before seeing Rose we had been trying to get pregnant for over a year and although we did get pregnant it was followed quickly by a devastating miscarriage. When I became pregnant again in November having Rose by my side was just the calming I needed, she is so knowledgeable and kind. I feel extremely blessed to have her as part of my «team.»
I am now 24 weeks pregnant with my first little boy and I couldn’t feel happier and more grateful.

She is absolutely fabulous.
Her energy and touch just make everything seem so much better. I feel calmer and positive every time i see her. Thank you, Rose!

I’ve been a patient of Rose’s for over 2 years and will not miss an appointment. First of all, there is an incredible amount of peace and calm that surrounds her. That paired with her amazing knowledge and gifts makes acupuncture a necessity in my overall health.
I have had chronic migraines all my adult life. I have only had one since I started seeing Rose. That is major for me. I have had many ailments & she has been able to help me address all of them. I know that no matter how I feel, after seeing her I will feel better.
You have to give in to acupuncture. Once you do, you will feel amazing, especially with Rose’s wonderful touch and her thoughtful practices.

Rose is absolutely the best. As an MD, I came into the whole acupuncture thing somewhat skeptical, saw a couple of people I did not like, and then met Rose. She is an outstanding clinician, a great listener, and very good with the needles. She is very comfortable with a combination of western and acupuncture approaches, and knows a lot about reproductive medicine. Although I can’t say for sure whether it was the acupuncture that helped me get pregnant, I can definitely say that I don’t know how I would have gotten through all the fertility angst without Rose. My baby girl is nine months old now.

After seeing other acupuncturists in the city that I was not happy with, I feel VERY lucky to have found Rose. She is extremely knowledgeable and kind — the exact type of person who helps you get the most out of your acupuncture treatments. Here are a few (of the many) specific things I have found helpful from her:
— She understands western medicine and wants to work with it and compliment it when necessary.
— I was eating healthy when I went to her, but he helped guide my diet to suit my specific needs. This made a big difference for me. Other acupuncturists never worked with me on this.
— She is a great listener and is very observant to you and your body’s signs making each treatment even more effective.

Rose is fantastic. She is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable with women’s health and fertility issues.
She is always very positive and makes you feel at ease right away. Her sessions are always very relaxing and you will end up falling a sleep during one.
I am happy to say that I am now 9 months pregnant after spending over a year trying to conceive.
Thank you Rose.

Rose is a gifted practitioner. It’s easy to tell she loves what she does when you see her — she’s an excellent listener and has a very caring and professional manner. And of course, she’s also incredibly knowledgeable and insightful. I highly, highly recommend her!

Rose is kind, gentle, and determined to help you figure out what’s really going on with your health. I’m always impressed by how well she listens to me and how compassionate she is.
I’ve seen her for sports injuries, and she quickly got me out of pain while her treatments sped up my healing process. She has also helped me deal with a sluggish thyroid and the onslaught of symptoms that came with it. Each visit was relaxing and encouraging. I especially appreciate her nutritional insight and effective herb supplements — they make such a difference. Ultimately, Rose has put me on the right track several different times over the last few years.
The best part: Needles freak me out, but Rose’s needle work is mostly pain free.
She never makes fun of me for being a scaredy cat, but we do laugh about it.
I’ve also sent a few friends her way. The best was when I encouraged one friend to pursue fertility-​related acupuncture, and with Rose’s help, she was able to get pregnant after 12+ months of unsuccessful attempts.

Absolute sweetheart!
I’m shocked that more people haven’t written a review for Rose and her incredible capabilities.
I’ve done my share of acupuncture and let me tell you, Rose is the best. She very gentle, very encouraging, and totally professional. She puts all your worries at ease and always makes you so relaxed you will literally fall asleep with needles in various parts of your body with no problem at all.
She’s very educated in woman’s issues and is always very clear with all the explanations and questions you might have.
If you’re looking for true professionalism, a gentle touch, and personal experience, what are you waiting for? Call Rose!

Rose manages to make acupuncture feel more like a spa treatment than a medical procedure, which would seem impossible given that sharp objects are involved. I hate, hate, hate needles (who likes them, really?) but Rose is incredibly patient, explaining each needle’s purpose and always asking permission before needling a new location. She also gives you an eye pillow and plays calming music while you rest during the treatment — I’ve fallen asleep every single time (with needles in!). Extra stars for the Chinese herbs and dietary modifications she recommends which are helpful supplements to the treatment.

These are the times when I love Unilocal — acupuncture is one of those things that works best through word of mouth, since most people don’t have experience with acupuncture, or how to tell whether someone is really good. As the daughter of an acupuncturist (and someone with an aversion to needles — go figure), I have pretty high standards. Rose really is worthy of all the rave reviews — I started seeing her about a year ago to help out with some insomnia, and have kept going not only because she is effective, but because you leave there after half an hour feeling like you got a 90 minute massage.

I too had a wonderful and very effective experience with Rose. I highly recommend her. She’s a very straight forward practitioner, compassionately understanding and quite practical with her recommendations. We’d been trying to get pregnant for 6 months for baby no 2 when I went to see her. She asked me to wait 3 more months to see what she could do before consulting my OBGYN and possibly seeking other methods. After two months of altering my diet according to her suggestions and a few fabulously relaxing sessions — I was pregnant! Our daughter is due next month.

Rose is fantastic! It is always a very relaxing experience going to see her. I love getting acupuncture for my allergies, but I have lots of questions every time. She is a great listener and always takes the time to answer all my questions.
My other favorite part about seeing her, is if you elect to take the Chinese Herbs, you don’t have to worry about what is in them. She always uses high quality products.
She does not take insurance– but will supply you with all the forms your need to submit your treatment to your insurance company. So easy!
