Caution for those seeking acupuncture for mental health: I booked an appointment to try acupuncture as a supplemental treatment for a current episode of bipolar depression as my aunt with the same condition swore by acupuncture. I booked with Ran and in our initial consultation conversation right before the treatment began, she dismissed my concerns and conditions, went on about how she essentially doesn't believe in mental illnesses, equated them to general problems that everyone gets day to day, and that my professionally diagnosed bipolar disorder I've had for a DECADE is probably caused by every day stress, hormones from periods (which I don't have), and maybe even the meds I take for it. Then she decided all I needed was to "relax" and that we'll do acupuncture to "relax". I felt very anxious, but I'd already booked the appointment and had to pay so I decided it's easier just to give it a go. I had the session (not relaxing for me) and felt the exact same during, afterwards, and days later and had a couple bruises to boot. I will say the receptionist Julie was lovely and Ran seemed nice enough if you ignore the harmful mental health/illness denial and ignorance. Possibly worth a go for physical health issues but definitely NOT for any mental - ignore the website listing a few mental health issues they can "help" with.
