  • "Super stressed? I leave zen! Back's gone out? Fixes it! She's my go-to!!!"

    Nancy C. - Yelp

  • "Mo is hands down the best acupuncturist I've ever been to. I suffered with debilitating chronic illness & long covid for nearly two years, and it was only when I started seeing Mo that I began to make progress towards recovery. She is not only kind, but incredibly smart when it comes to addressing issues in the body. There's no other acupuncturist I'd recommend in Santa Cruz!"

    Ashlie C. - Yelp

  • "So wise and kind. She knows exactly how to help you and improve your well being. She listens and always finds a way to relieve symptoms or make you feel at your best. A blessing to have her in my life!"
