Elaina Greenberg, MS, LAC

Elaina is a true healer. I had the pleasure of having her as my Clinical Supervisor for two semesters at my Chinese Medical school. I was beat up in my neighborhood and really needing some of the emotional trauma healed and released. Elaina is caring, compassionate, nurturing and genuinely cares about her patients. Her office is very welcoming, soothing and a calming space in such a busy place. Elaina has brought a sense of calm back to my well-​being and I have not felt this safe in weeks. She is extremely intuitive and gets to the root of whatever is going on right away. She emailed me a few hours after my appointment just to check-​in and see how I was feeling. Elaina is very special and I cannot recommend her enough.

Elaina is absolutely amazing!!! Her acupuncture has helped me immensely. She is warm, welcoming and makes you feel completely comfortable and safe. If you need acupuncture or are curious, I highly recommend seeing Elaina!

I’ve been seeing Elaina for the last month regarding migraines, anxiety, sleep issues, stress management and other stuff.
I had the residual effect of a migraine from 2 days prior the fist day I came to see her. She took 2 hours to learn all about me! The session was so relaxing. I put my sunglasses on in fear of still having residual issues from the migraine but I felt so clear. I was thinking normally and get so relaxed.
Last time I went it was preventative as I seem to get migraines every month with my cycle. It worked. I felt a migraine come on and it ended up resolving itself no doubt from the preventative acupuncture.
Every time I leave I feel, «clear». Less foggy.
Ive been to other places and none has been as connected to the individuals spirit along with the body. Truly, I feel like she is so knowledgable about how the body works under certain emotional stresses. Specifically what parts of the body will suffer.
Along with the mind, body and soul interconnectedness she was able to help me with a stiff neck.
So wether you need help with an injury or have medical ailments, she seems to be an expert at healing through acupuncture.
She is incredibly compassionate, calm and thorough. I highly recommend a visit.

Elaina is the most amazing acupuncturist and her caring, professional manner will put anyone at ease. After only two sessions with her, I have already a remarkable improvement in my condition, and I wish that I could see her everyday because every time I leave her office, I feel amazing! There are some rare individuals who were born to do what they do and they do it with a passion, and Elaina is one of them! I feel she has healed me on so many levels. She is also very knowledgable and can teach you about ancient Chinese wisdoms or refer you to other specialists as needed. I highly recommend any one in need of healing to go see her. You will come away with a new outlook on life, be empowered and realize that you can help yourself. She truly is wonderful!

Elaina is the most soothing, loving, calming presence I’ve ever encountered. Just entering her office brings a feeling of relaxation over you immediately. She has helped me exponentially with night sweats, anxiety, and many other problems I’ve had over the years and have never been able to fix. She is spiritual and emotional with all of her patients, and her hands and healing powers are truly like magic!!! I love her. I cannot say enough amazing things.

Elaina is a wise and invested healer. Her ability to define sources of problem areas in the body and connect them with the interplays of acupuncture points is thorough and comprehensive. Her knowledge is evident. She holds a healing space where you feel at ease so that you can truly let go and feel supported. I highly recommend her.

Elaina has changed my life as well as my kids lives. I have an auto-​immune disease that causes inflammation of my joints and my kids of a list of food allergies. She has been able to address all of our difference issues with such care and understanding. I haven’t felt this good in years, maybe even a decade. And the wisdom she has brought to figuring out how to help my kids is unparalleled. She understands the human body on a whole intuitive level that I have not encountered before. I am so grateful that I found her.

I’ve seen a lot of acupuncturists, but Elaina is something special. She has an uncanny ability to see right through to the heart of the matter and you leave her table feeling absolutely wonderful. She is caring, intuitive, and incredibly good at what she does. If I hadn’t left the city, I’d still be an eager patient!

I have had the pleasure of working alongside the amazing Elaina Greenberg for about 2 years now. She has been a huge addition to our space and I value, trust, and admire her as a fellow practitioner and associate. She has been very thorough with every patient and effective at treating any diagnosis. I’ve also have been seeing her regularly as a patient for about once a month now & she has helped me with a number of ailments. Some chronic problems that I had for years no longer bother me at all. Her treatments are healing physically and emotionally. I would highly recommend Elaina Greenberg. She is the most professional and caring acupuncturist I know. I am just fortunate that she is in our office. If I could give 100 stars, I would.

I had always wanted to get acupuncture and I am so happy I found Elaina! I had been struggling with getting consistent sleep along with chronic issues with my cycle. I can see such an improvement with my quality of sleep and my cycle is starting to resemble a normal one since coming to Elaina.
Elaina is so thorough and knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable and at ease with the process. She is so calm and has such beautiful energy. I always feel centered and refreshed after seeing her. Highly recommended!

I had never received acupuncture before coming to Elaina, and I am so glad that I decided to try it! I was diagnosed with IBS and leaky gut two years ago, and I am happy to say that I feel like a new person after working with Elaina for a few months. Not only did she help me through acupuncture treatments, but she also suggested the right supplements and diet to heal my gut. She has so much knowledge to share! I never imagined living life without digestive issues, and I’m so grateful to Elaina for getting my health back on track. Elaina is not just an expert in her field — she is one of the most kind and supportive practitioners I have ever met. Thank you, Elaina!

I’ve always been skeptical of a non-​Chinese practitioner of Chinese medicine, but Elaina works magic. She brings Taoist knowledge and a loving, compassionate heart to her work and transfers all that goodness into your body with every prick of a needle. I walk away feeling balanced, nurtured and all-​around happier and healthier. She embodies a unique wisdom and sagacity that far exceeds her youth, and it’s a tremendous relief to know she has a long practice ahead of her (because I, for one, will need her for a long time to come!).

I’ve seen many providers over the years in the natural healing arts, and I have to say that Elaina’s bedside manner is above and beyond the norm. When I learned that Elaina was moving her Seattle-​based practice to Los Angeles, I thought to myself «Seattle’s loss is LA’s gain!»
Finding a great health care provider can be a challenge, and that’s why I’m taking the time to write this review for fellow Unilocalers. If you are in the LA area and looking for a wise accupuncturist with a solid academic background, Elaina Greenberg is the woman for you.
Not only is Elaina VERY SMART, she is exceptionally compassionate. Elaina always listened to what I had to say, and developed a treatment plan that helped me manage and eventually get rid of chronic migraines and other women’s health issues I’d been dealing with for years.
I am forever grateful for the pain management and herbal remedies that Elaina brought to my life, and think about her warm, optimistic, and intuitive spirit often. If there were 6 stars on Unilocal I would give them to Elaina!

I’ve been to Elaina twice with excellent results, first when my back went out, then to help ease nicotine cravings when I was quitting smoking cold turkey.
One of the first things I noticed that makes Elaina a great provider is the amount of time she took on my first visit – I’ve been to other acupuncturists, and she has by far the most in-​depth first visit that I have experienced. She is very easy to talk to & I really felt like she understood me and my health history after this. It is very comforting to have a health care professional that is so involved in getting to know their patients.
I also appreciate that she’s had experience working in a Shanghai Hospital, and currently is a supervisor the clinic at Yo San, a Los Angeles University that teaches chinese medicine.
I’m writing this review as Elaina is building her practice in Santa Monica after running a successful practice for more than a decade in Seattle. I hope that you’ll go see Elaina, she truly stands out from the myriad of other providers in the area.

I’d never been to an acupuncturist before I met Elaina. I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous during my first session. Elaina has this warmth and sense of pure compassion that really puts you to ease. Her depth of knowledge of her skill is evident from the moment she starts speaking and I trusted her to take care of me within the first minutes of meeting her. Since I don’t have anyone to compare her to, I really hope anyone else out there receives the type of treatment Elaina has to offer. If not, you’re missing out!
