"Adrian Bean is hands down AMAZING!!! If you are looking for a practitioner who truly cares, look no further. Absolutely life changing!" ~ Tania M., San Diego
"I was a little skeptical at first. My wife has been seeing Adrian for years, and she was always trying to get me to go see him. For some reason I was closed off to Acupuncture, even though I saw firsthand what it did for my her. About a year ago I injured my back. I tried so many things, but nothing would make the pain go away. I was getting desperate, so I finally decided to see Adrian. After the first session I was hooked. The first appointment consisted of acupuncture and hands-on work. When I left, I felt better than I had felt in months. I've been seeing him for months now and my back is getting better every week. It feels like it's getting better from the inside out, and I rest very deeply when I am there. Adrian is so present, and I feel grateful to have him in my corner. I have never met someone more skilled at helping people heal.  He seriously saved me when I felt I had exhausted all other options. The staff is great, always helpful. I highly recommend this place!"
"I have been coming here for the past couple weeks due some long term leg issues and recent foot surgery, and I'm so thankful for having a friend recommend this place. Adrian and Rachel are both absolutely wonderful individuals who have really taken the time to get to know me in order to help ease any pain I have and speed up my recovery. My leg issues are kind of come and go so it's hard to report on that, but my doctor says my foot suture is healing very well and to keep it up! On a side note, I once came in here with a bad head cold, and Adrian fixed me right up. All the other staff I've interacted with are very friendly and caring- great place!" ~ Isabella N., Sacramento, CA
