Acupuncture Reviews

Laura’s acupuncture patients say…

Thanks to Laura, I was able to get pregnant and stay pregnant!

I started seeing Laura for acupuncture because I have PCOS and a history of miscarriage and was ready to have a baby. Laura’s knowledgeable, warm, and caring presence made me feel comfortable and genuinely cared for, starting with our very first appointment. Thanks to Laura, I was able to overcome infertility, get pregnant, and stay pregnant! During my pregnancy, she helped to relieve the morning sickness and headaches I experienced in the beginning and helped induce labor at the end and everything else in between. Laura is amazing at what she does; what I’ve experienced has been relaxing, healing, and transformative!

The difference she has made in my life is immeasurable.

Over the last 13 years, Dr. Laura Paris has treated me for migraines, allergies, and stress. The difference she has made in my life is immeasurable. I was a total skeptic before my first treatment and very nervous about the needles, but Laura’s peaceful demeanor and professionalism set me at ease and I ended up so comfortable that I fell asleep! I’m so grateful to have such a positive and kind acupuncturist who really knows what she’s doing. I recommend her to everyone who asks, she is so worth the hour+ drive for me and I love her to her new office in Capitola.

Every time I get off the table I feel like a new me.

I am a firm believer in using natural ways to heal the body and mind and I found acupuncture is one of those ways. Dr Laura provides a magnificent quality of natural care, and every time I get off the table I feel like a new me.

One visit and I was moving pain-free again.

Laura is an incredible acupuncturist, intuitive and thoughtful. I came in for an emergency visit with severe shoulder blade pain–one visit and I was moving pain-free again. Highly recommend!!!

The pain I have experienced for nearly 25 years is less and less with each visit.

With each visit, I’m finding the shoulder neck pain I have experienced for nearly 25 years is less and less. Thank you Laura for making my days nearly painless!!!

I went into labor within 48 hours of receiving the treatment.

I have received acupuncture treatment from Laura Paris twice now for the purpose of inducing labor, and I went into labor within 48 hours of receiving the treatment. Having these appointments has given me peace of mind that I could have some concept of control as I was constantly hoping to avoid hospital-induced labor.

The FIRST provider I have been to who didn’t make me feel rushed.

I was referred to Laura for acupuncture to help with fertility and she was the FIRST provider I have been to who didn’t make me feel rushed. She was patient, empathetic, and informative–in such a way that even the average person can understand fancy science-y stuff, kind, and approachable! I make sure to see Laura as often as possible. Something hurts? Go see Laura! Self-care? Go see Laura! Acupuncture initially scared me, but I laugh at that fear now because she is so gentle, and explains everything as she goes. Her website also has the BEST articles and her goal is your health!

Laura assisted me in getting pregnant with my son (I have PCOS).

Laura is an incredibly gifted practitioner who assisted me in getting pregnant with my son (I have PCOS). She saw me all throughout my pregnancy and into the postpartum period which was so so needed! My husband goes to her for his moderate/severe arthritis as well! Laura has a deep knowledge base that seems to flow effortlessly from her fingertips. She is compassionate, witty, and smart, and combines treatment modalities like diet, lifestyle, herbs, and movement with acupuncture to give you a comprehensive care plan. She is thoughtful with her recommendations and doesn’t try to upsell you on anything that may not be in your best interest. She’s always current on the latest research, and forever taking courses and conferences to increase her skill. I can’t recommend her enough.

I am now in complete remission.

I appreciate what Laura Paris is doing for my health. When I started seeing her, I was suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease. Through Laura’s acupuncture treatments and gentle guidance in making dietary and lifestyle changes, I am now in complete remission. Laura has given me the tools to take control of my health, and I will forever be grateful.

I had the best rest I have ever had.

This was my first experience with acupuncture, and an OBGYN in the Monterey area recommended Dr. Laura. She was so thorough and explained each step to make me less nervous. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I had the best rest I have ever had during the resting portion of the experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Laura to anyone, especially anyone new to acupuncture! It was life-changing, and I will continue to go here!

Laura has brought me through some of the toughest times of my life.

I have been seeing Laura for almost 15 years and have always had amazing care and compassion. She has brought me through some of the toughest times of my life, including now, while I’m battling some very difficult health issues. She always provides me with alternative methods to regain my health and has successfully kept me off of powerful Western drugs.

She is a wealth of knowledge.

Laura listens (even when you think you sound crazy), she cares, she looks at the entire picture and not just the symptoms, and she is a wealth of knowledge. I’m now on the right track and have made huge strides. For ten years I’ve bounced from doctor to doctor, tried to self-diagnose and self-treat my symptoms but I never found a real solution. I found Laura online and knew immediately she knew what she was talking about. I learned more about my health and body with her website writings alone than I did through years of jumping from doctor to doctor.
Sarah

A refuge for self-care and relaxation.

Dr. Laura is gifted at helping her clients with solid recommendations for supplements and treatment advice. Her practice has quickly become a refuge for self-care and relaxation. Highly recommend.

Dr. Laura Paris takes the time to listen and make you feel comfortable.

Dr. Laura Paris takes the time to listen to your needs and make you comfortable, I highly recommend her! I have been receiving acupuncture for chronic migraines for about three months now, and it has been very helpful, so relaxing, and I feel better afterward.

I left her office in a blissful state.

Laura was the first (and only) acupuncturist I have visited. She spent lots of time talking to me about my issues and asking good follow-up questions. She was the first person to point me in the direction of going gluten-free, which has been revolutionary for my health. The treatment itself was relaxing and very enjoyable, I left her office in a blissful state. She has also treated my husband successfully for migraines. I highly recommend Laura!
Caroline

I have 80-90% movement restored.

I am so thrilled to work with Dr. Laura Paris, a true and gifted healer. I had come down with a case of Bell’s Palsy and other doctors were giving me steroids, anti-inflammatories, and a 6-8 week projected recovery time, with no real guarantee that it would EVER heal. I was amazed at how confident, professional, and reassuring Dr. Laura was. Within two very relaxing & actually enjoyable acupuncture sessions, I have 80-90% movement restored. Even my doctors were amazed. I will be seeing Laura for anything that ails me from now on! She is a true blessing.

Dr. Paris has changed my life.

Dr. Paris has changed my life, and I leave her office feeling better than when I went in. She is one of the most compassionate, genuine, and thoughtful providers I have ever seen, quickly addressing concerns in a way that removes pain and worry, which is a huge win for someone who struggles with chronic illness and pain. Acupuncture has completely changed my experience, and even my friends and family have observed a difference in me which speaks volumes. Dr. Paris’ is a talented educator with an informed and caring approach, she has so much beneficial information to offer and does so in such an accessible and inclusive way.

Laura Paris is outstanding.

Laura Paris is outstanding. I went in with the weight of the world and felt like I left half of the world and its burdens behind. She is a class act. I thank God for her.

I cannot praise her highly enough.

After a couple of treatments with Laura, I felt better results than what I’d experienced with chiropractic care in the past. I now see her regularly for my myriad of old “old bones” ailments and cannot praise her highly enough. She has in-depth knowledge of many facets of health care, especially digestive health, and is very generous with her time and sharing of this knowledge.

Pregnant at 40 thanks to Laura!

Pregnant at 40 thanks to Laura! I had a difficult time conceiving my second child. After two consecutive miscarriages, I knew that I had to go back to Laura. Over the last five years, she has helped me tremendously with my many allergies and with the fertility of my first child. She knew what to do right away and with her support and wealth of knowledge, I became pregnant soon after my first visit with her. Laura is kind, caring, and very knowledgeable but above all she is patient. I am the type of client who comes in with a list of questions and often I am received with frustration by others. Not with Laura! She listens actively and always has an insightful response to my every question. Her healing center is warm, clean, and relaxing, and for these reasons, I look forward to my appointments with her. I recommend Laura to anyone needing a health tune-up to those of us with difficulty conceiving. She is a hidden gem!

One session with Dr. Laura Paris and I feel 95% better!

I’m so glad I found Dr. Laura Paris. Her office is calming, and inviting, and she made me feel at ease. One session with Dr. Laura Paris and I feel 95% better! It was comfortable and painless, I got up and I felt like I had just had a 60-minute massage…when in reality I had 20 minutes of relaxing on the table with the acupuncture needles in my upper back. I’m officially a believer in what acupuncture can do. Highly recommend Dr. Laura Paris, she really made me feel at ease for my first time, and overall, it was a great experience.

Dr. Laura listens carefully to your needs.

Dr. Laura listens carefully to your needs and then determines the right course of treatment. She’s knowledgeable and caring. She recommends exercises to use at home to get more from your treatment. The office is comfortable, clean, modern, and in a great location with plenty of parking.
