Alisa Galvan, L.Ac.

Alisa is incredible and I wish I found her earlier in my pregnancy! If you are experiencing anything uncomfortable at all, do not hesitate - you DO NOT have to suffer! I found Alisa after trying everything for my pelvic/lower back pain the the third trimester. Nothing worked and I could barely walk or get comfortable. Alisa was very attentive and thorough during our first session, really taking time to understand all my symptoms and to validate me. I am pain-free and she's been able to ease all my third trimester symptoms overall, making this period of time most women dread much easier. Since this is my first pregnancy, I feel a bit lost due to the overwhelming amount of information out there. She is gentle, calming and very supportive as she educates you on things you can do to further help yourself with confidence -- an invaluable tool. I am now doing the birth sessions and I feel confident in my body vs. being terrified about labor and delivery. Overall, I feel so much better physically and mentally than I have most of my pregnancy. I look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come and I am grateful for her guidance, kind spirit, knowledge and her ability to heal!

I wish I could give Alisa more stars, she is truly amazing. I first met Alisa when I was 4 months pregnant, I was having daily headaches and feeling a bit stressed due to an IVF pregnancy. After a few sessions my headaches were gone. I kept coming to her mainly due to her ability to calm me and make me feel very relaxed at every session. She was able to help me with every pregnancy symptom I developed, including heart burn, back pain, insomnia, constipation and more.

My baby was breech and Alisa was able to work her magic and help my baby flip. I’ve had a few postpartum sessions where she continues to help me deal with any stress and allow my body to heal. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is. She is very knowledgeable, personable, easy to talk to and she just has a way of knowing “what’s wrong with me”. My sessions are always wonderful, I feel so rested and rejuvenated.

I had a wonderful experience with Alisa. She used acupuncture and herbal medicine to prepare my body for conception and support me throughout pregnancy. So thankful for her help (and our adorable success!). I highly recommend her, especially for prenatal, pregnancy, and postnatal support.

Alisa is an INCREDIBLE acupuncturist and overall caring human being. I've been seeing her about 6 months while pregnant and now as I heal in the postpratum phase. What I love most about Alisa is that she truly cares about her patients and is so PASSIONATE and KNOWLEGEABLE about maternity, pregnancy, and postpartum (including being a certified lactation consultant).

I came to her with a history of chronic pain and issues before pregnancy so there was a lot of different things I wanted address (rib cage pain, headaches, digestion, swelling, carpal tunnel, jaw pain, etc etc). She would come up with treatment plans (including incorporation moxibustion, cupping, gua sha, etc.) until I saw results. Sessions with her have done wonders for my overall health, well being, and pain. She also genuinely cares and will ask questions about my nursing and give me advice on how to help my baby breastfeed. She also offers that service as well.

Go to Alisa. You will not regret it!

Alisa is so sweet and really took the time to discuss my symptoms and concerns before our first session. She walked me through her process while placing the needles. Our communication was so open, I really appreciated that about her! She even spent time discussing different stretching techniques that my husband could help me do at home to prolong the side effects of the treatment.
I’m 40 weeks pregnant and came to her clinical so that we could initiate labor. The next day, I could feel a difference in my hip mobility and overall mobility. Before seeing her, I was extremely swollen and had difficulty getting up and moving around (despite exercising throughout the pregnancy, drinking plenty of water, eating well, walking, and stretching). My husband commented that I looked like a different person only a few hours after the treatment! The next morning, the swelling in my hands, feet, and legs was completely gone! The carpal tunnel symptoms in my hands had all but diminished as well.
No sign of baby yet, but we are hopeful that it will be soon! We are going to see her again in a few days. Either way, Alisa has literally given me new life. I was so uncomfortable before seeing her, I wondered how I would make it through labor. Now, I feel so rejuvenated and strong. Would highly recommend any treatment from her!
