Wish I could give them more than just five stars! The care I receive has been tremendous - the staff is wonderful and the doctors are focused on providing you with the best possible care.My acupuncturist Guillermo Gomez is wonderful, he is very experienced and very knowledgeable. I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years but no luck. After several treatments from Guillermo I just found I’m pregnant!!!I’m so grateful to have found this wonderful practice and highly recommend them to everyone.

Guillermo is fantastic!! Im visiting my family from NYC. Guillermo has been treating my mom for the past few years, and she raves about him. Im a recent graduate from acupuncture school, was in terrible need of a treatment. He was extremely patient and explained in detail the points he chose to needle. I felt fantastic afterwards and HIGHLY recommend Guillermo. Do you know how lucky you are to have such an accomplished acupuncturist in your area? Honestly. I took a pile of his business cards when I left and Ive recommended him to all of my Bay Area friends.

This is a place for healing, really healing, Staff is so friendly, kind, and mindful. I walked into Numo a a couple months ago with unbearable pain thanks to acupuncture, cups, yoga really made a change in my body and my mind, if you are in pain and want to avoid pills (painkillers or anti inflammatory) this is the place to go.

I had pretty severe back pain in my mid to upper back on the left side, most likely due to break dancing. Went here to get it treated with a massage and after the first day, it already felt significantly better. However some of the pain was still there, so I went back for a second session and the results were pretty wild. The next day I felt 90% better, and that last 10% of pain faded over the next few days. So in total, Id say the treatment was very worth.Chuck was the one who treated me and let me just say he definitely knows exactly what hes doing. Its really nice because hell talk to you as hes performing different techniques, explaining what they are and what its good for. Hell also identify problem areas and how to fix, so youre not just left in the dark on whats happening. Chucks a real personable guy with a friendly personality, and calm soothing voice which fits with the overall feel of the place. The facility itself is very relaxing and nice to be in, very zen. It was my first time getting any serious massage treatment and Im glad Chuck was able to make it a comfortable experience. Will definitely be returning when I need to!

I just wanted to write this review to thank the staff at Numo. I have experienced upper back and chest tension for almost a decade now. I have had several physical examination and had manual therapies from multiple therapists over the years. However, none of them worked well and I have not felt much better. Jonathan is my acupuncturist and he is experienced and heart-warming. This is the first time i tried acupuncture and I find it so effective and powerful! They also have an amazing massage therapist: Chuck palpated my troubled areas and provided a thorough treatment plan including message therapy, cupping, and guasha therapy. After a few visits i have seen a lot of progress and hope i could get treated more often after this quarantine.

Ive had hundreds of massages in my life, and Chuck is one of the best massage therapist Ive had the honor and blessing to work with. He is deeply intuitive, diversely skilled, and genuinely compassionate. He customizes each massage to whatever your body needs at the time- whether it be healing a soft tissue injury, increasing range of motion, correcting muscular imbalances, reducing stress, or simply relaxing.He is wise to give the exact pressure necessary to break down the scar tissues, meeting the tissues where it is at. His approach is soft yet strong. He has a variety of skill sets to do whatever your body needs to feel and performa at your best.He understands that the issues gets trapped in the tissues, and holds a safe, sacred space for you to express yourself and be yourself. Ive had many inspiring, eye-opening, life-changing conversations with this tremendous healer.Perhaps the most impressive trait of Chuck is that he is always evolving, constantly educating himself with new information and experiences to be better and better. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Give him a try, you will be happy to find your new favorite massage therapist.

The first time I visited Numo acupuncture was 3 years ago. I had come in with a severe back pain and I was not able to stand/sit comfortably. I had also never tried acupuncture before, so I wasnt sure if acupuncture would be effective in treating sciatica or herniated disc in the lower back. Faye treated me for this and I was back to normal and pain free in a few days. She is very thoughtful, calm, knowledgeable and has given me a lot of great advice. To this day, me and I my husband visit Faye for any of our health issues and I highly recommend them.

Faye is our family’s first point of contact for all health related situations. I have known Faye for well over 10 years. Her genuine sincerity, deep kindness and empathy for humankind and well being , integrity, impeccable knowledge in Traditional Chinese Medicine and healing foods/herbs/plants/overall nutrition, excellent and practical understanding of western medicine, and sound experience in the holistic mind, body and spirit exceeds all expectations. She is truly, without a doubt, a one of a kind healer whose fundamental core is to serve and help all.Faye has treated my immediate family, work colleagues, and friends near and afar for a myriad of things from the common cold, children’s ear infections, torn meniscus, degenerative spine/neck issues, seasonal allergies, joint pains, dry eyes, fertility, hormonal and immunity issues, etc. Our 5 and 8 year old have been seeing Faye since they were 6 months old. The power and effect of acupuncture with or without needles, cupping, herbs (coupled with the right nutrition and diet) in children is incredible. Our children experience the benefits every single time.Faye is an amazing listener and always makes time for us. She is an effective communicator who clearly explains her perspective and practice every step of the way, and is always responsive to any questions or concerns.Faye’s positivity, knowledge and experience makes for an inspiring leader and role model to her staff. She has built a solid team of like-minded practitioners.We are forever grateful to Faye for her unconditional, loving care in keeping my family in optimal health so we can always be at our personal best.

So what do you do when your on lock down because of shelter in place(SIP) and your in a ton of pain? Well I jumped on yelp and looked for acupuncture place that is open. I make an appointment with Faye and she asked what are the symptoms. I tell her where it hurts and she places a few painless needles accordingly and hour later I’m back to my normal self. I feel very lucky they were open and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend them!

I was desperate when I came to Victoria in the beginning of January, she gave me a lot of great recommendations, and doing acupuncture with her have improved my state significantly. Even though my condition is chronic, and lasted for years without improvement she was able to get me in much better state.I didnt interact with the rest of the Numo Acupuncture staff, but everyone is welcoming and friendly there. Im generally very anxious person, coming to this place feels comfortable.

Victoria is a unique practitioner with specialized skills and knowledge of both sides of the spectrum. She has a background in pharmacy which enhances her treatment plans to encompass Western and Eastern philosophies. She is very patient and is quite passionate about what she does which shows in the treatment style and professional advice she provides.After several visits with her, I realized the treatment plans, nutritional advice and lifestyle modifications that she recommends have been much more relevant than many typical medical office visits Ive had for many common chronic issues.

Great place. Veronica is fantastic. She has a great vibe, saved me from pain and low energy, and is generous to teache how acupuncture and health works. I like to get an acupuncture session followed by cupping. Numo had a community-style room, a couple personal nooks, and a smaller private rooms.

Best back pain relief during SIP for covid 19. The clinic is clean and disinfect before and after every session. Faye luong is very knowledgeable. She not only give treatment but also advise me on how to maintain and tips on how to reduce future flare up. Such a blessing to be treated by acupuncture instead of relying on pain med.

What makes this place great is the people that work here. It’s obvious that the staff really enjoys working together and that family-feel is obviously extended to all of their patients. Faye is my favorite :) She is knowledgeable and extremely warm. She is always looking to help you understand your health instead of just simply treating you. I would highly recommend Numo to anyone looking to invest in longevity and wellness.

I am always so relaxed and feeling well cared for when I leave Numo! I see Jonathan when Im there, and his intuitive care is always spot on for me. Sometimes I dont even know what I need, but he somehow manages to tune in always provide the best possible care and encouragement in that moment. He is a calming, and attentive presence.

Review №18

I decided to try acupuncture for the first time the other day. Thanks to Victoria Leung, I had such a wonderful experience and will be sure to come back again. Victoria was extremely patient and understanding of all my questions as a first timer. She clearly explained the process of everything and the benefits that acupuncture has. She made sure that I was well informed and that I was always comfortable. She listened to all my concerns and helped me feel as good a new.I could not recommend anyone better than her to have as your acupuncturist.

Have been going to Numo Acupuncture since they were called Living Room Acupuncture. This is a place of healing, where the practitioners care deeply about their patients. I appreciate how they make acupuncture more affordable and available to the community. The staff is excellent. I have been working with Guillermo, and he has helped me become healthier. I give him and Numo Acupuncture my highest recommendation.

I have had numerous injuries from years of martial arts and strength training, and the staff here have been a big help with the various services they offer, especially one of their newest therapists, Chuck. He went the extra mile by trying to understand the root of the dysfunction causing the back pain i have dealt with for years, and I felt the best I had in a long while after his massage and Gua Sha treatment.

I have had a few seasons with Sarah now and just want her and folks to know how truly gifted she is as a therapist. Her technique and skill have always left me feeling great and refreshed, she always has some additional tips for me to try and home with different stretches and things I can do on my own, and she is just so dang friendly and nice and welcoming. She truly has a healers energy which she shares and I’m grateful!

I was desperate when I came to Victoria in the beginning of January 2020. I had a bunch of conditions that needed attention and my regular PCP treatments were failing on me. I didnt have big expectations and hopes when I came to Victoria.However her treatments have drastically improved my state, she helped me to get off my old meds that were not helping me anymore, but causing more problems.Even though my condition is chronic, and lasted for years without improvement she was able to get me in much much better state.Big thing - Numo Acupuncture is open during COVID19, and being able to get a relief at these times been tremendous opportunity to stay healthy and happy.Thank you, Victoria!

Review №28

Faye and the entire team are great! I started going because I hurt my back not knowing if acupuncture would help but I went everywhere else and no one else could help me and I tried (dr., chiro, massage) everything. I still dont understand acupuncture but I am a believer! Faye does great explaining things. My jaw was hurting from tmj and Faye made the pain go away instantly. Hard to believe but its crazy and cool how acupuncture works. I strongly suggest giving it a try and seeing any of the wonderful staff members at Numo!

Review №33

Great and friendly staff. Jonathan has been helpful from the start. Came in with a super stiff neck and was recommended some cupping with acupuncture. After that I was able to move my neck around which was great, because I had a Spartan race event coming up in the weekend. Also have been seeing Sarah for Myofascial massages for my back. My back has never felt so good. She got all the tightness out and I will be coming back for those at least once a month. If your looking for something that’s not going to break your pockets and give great results. I highly recommend this place.

I heard bone broth can help speed up recovery for surgery patient. I bought for my wife. She cranked bone broth approximately 1 week before surgery and continued to drink after surgery. She had a speedy recovery compared to the surgery she had two years. My wife was energetic post surgery and was on own by the end of the week. The bone broth was tasty and easy to make. All I had to was open the bag and add the contents into the slow cooker with water.

I absolutely love Numo Acupuncture. Ive been coming here for about 7 years now. I have had success with fertility, plantar fasciitis, inflammation in my knee because of ligament issues, and vertigo. While I find myself going when Im in pain I wish I could go all the time for overall health and peaceful feelings. I am so grateful to the healing energy that the skillful acupuncturist and the Numo space brings.

Review №36

Ive been dealing with mild anxiety and paranoia in certain situations in my life for the past 15 years. It wasnt until my friend recommended me to try alternative therapies, specifically acupuncture and massage. Sort of skeptical, but why not. I searched for acupuncture clinics near me and Numo Acupuncture was on the top of the list. I took a look at their website, seems legit. So I booked an appointment using their online scheduling system, which was nice because Im the sort of person who wants hassle free booking.There were a lot of therapies I havent heard about so I went straight for first time acupuncture.I never had acupuncture done before, but I wasnt afraid of needles or anything. It was actually a very relaxing experience, and I felt my body tingle in various places when he put the needles in. I asked him about it and he said it was the energy moving, and rebalancing.Where Numo truly shined was after the treatment. My body felt lighter, and I was less occupied in my head. Compared to before, I felt like I was a very heady person. A few days after the treatment, I still felt nice and evened out. I plan to go back and get regular treatment once quarentine is over, since my last treatment was just before shelter in place started. Next time, I plan to do a 60 min massage. I will update the review after massage therapy.Overall, very clean clinic, nice staff, and surprisingly effective treatment.

Victoria Leung came out to our school campus to help us teachers relax a bit on one of our PD days. I was blown away by how incredibly helpful acupuncture was to help my neck and shoulders. I was very apprehensive to try this as I dont tend to do well with needles but it was not painful and Victoria explained the whole process and the thought behind it. Very happy with my experience, will need to make another appointment soon. Thank you!

The team at Numo Acupuncture is fantastic! My family has been going to Numo for over a decade (even before it became “Numo”). Faye has done wonders for the entire family from fixing anything and everything from aches and pains, a sprained knee, colds, fever, male issues, female issues...you name it.I believe firmly in the healing of needles and herbs, but equally in the joy and positivity that Faye and the team give every day.Sarah is also an awesome massage therapist.Check them out!

I have been a client for + 10 years! Faye is awesome. She is so knowledgeable and takes the time to explain why and what might be causing my pains. Furthermore, she gives practical advice on how to improve my condition. I used to be very scared of needles but Faye really makes you feel comfortable and its amazing how painless her acupuncture actually is! Ive had such a great experience with this group that Ive send both my aging parents, uncle, co-workers and other family members to her. Shes taken great care of everyone!!! Thanks Faye and the NUMO team for their holistic approach to keeping us well!!

Victoria has been healing me from the inside out with every session. I have suffered from high levels of anxiety and depression my entire life, with the loss of my father my depression and anxiety worsen.Victoria started treating me with acupuncture sessions targeting many points and explaining everything in the process, It’s been about three months of regular sessions with her and I no longer feel depressed. I have the occasional anxiety here and there from work and everyday life, but nothing like before. I am so grateful for Victoria and Numo acupuncture, it saved me! Thank you

I am so happy I found Numo! I had a place I was going to in San Diego for years. I recently moved to San Jose and went on the hunt. After reading the yelp reviews I took a chance and beyond happy I did. Dr. G is amazing. I am a yoga instructor and an active human. I have hardware in my right leg and deal with occasional body alignment issues and pain. Through my injury rehab, which was extensive I have visited many offices like Numo but none of the doctors are like Dr. G. She takes in your whole body, has many different processes to bring to the table, asks the right questions and gives you homework. She can only do her part, so make sure you do yours and you will feel like a whole new person! Writing this review reminds me, I need to make an appointment!

Review №46

I came in to Numo due to my lower back pain. I’ve decided to get cupping as I’ve heard that many athletes are getting cupping to relieve muscle tensions and help circulate the blood. Faye from Numo affirm the benefits of cupping and was very detailed about procedure. It did not take long and I was out of there in about 30 mins. Faye has a vast knowledge alternative medicine and remedies as well! I will definitely come back to see Faye!

Highly recommend Numo Acupuncture for any health needs. The environment setting is comfortable and cozy. Staffs are super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.Faye never failed me when I come to her with all of my health issues...such as adrenal fatigue, eye twitching, allergy, amenorrhea, fertility and more. With Fayes expertise in acupuncture treatment and prescribing individualized herbal formula, she eracticate my health problems from the root.Ten years ago, Faye assist me with my fertility issue. I had no result from trying to conceive for 2 years so Faye prescribed 3 months of herbs for me to take. Surprisingly, after taking the herbs for a month and a half I was pregnant with my precious little girl. Thanks to Faye, I have a smart, happy and healthy 9 year old now.Faye gives me hope when I feeling down, helpless and frustrated because I dont know what is going on with me and why Im feeling ill. Especially when all the blood work-up are normal and diagnostic testing are unremarkable.Faye blown me away with the way she diagnosed my health problems via her her fingers and my wrist. Shes amazing!Regardless of Faye or her Numo Acupuncture team, they all are sweet, naturally caring, and highly qualified professional. Dont take my word for it, try them for yourself..

Ive been graced with Jonathans care for my chronic neck and shoulder pain. Just seeing Jonathans smile makes me feel better! Ive had three sessions and look forward to future use of NUMOs services. Jonathan has always listened carefully to what issues Im having, explains his treatment clearly, and has a genuine sense of caring. Im experiencing less pain than when I started my treatments, have more mobility in my neck and shoulder area, and I always leave feeling relaxed. Ive been to other acupuncturists through the years, but as an overall experience of professional care and atmosphere, NUMO will continue to be my go to place.
