Sage Acupuncture

As a new patient to acupuncture, I had been recommended treatment to help with fertility. I found the Sage South location and began treatment with Katie. I highly recommend her and her team – Katie is also a registered nurse – she made me feel completely comfortable, often going above and beyond her role as an acupuncturist and offering advice as I began my new journey into motherhood. Furthermore, Katie was a champ when it came to calming my nerves. Being new to the world of acupuncture as a form of medical treatment, the idea of needles made my palms sweat! Within just a few treatments, I was enjoying the relaxing environment and my fears were nothing but a memory. Thanks to Katie and following weekly treatments, my husband and I found ourselves pregnant and blessed with the greatest gift of all, our baby son.

Sage Acupuncture is simply wonderful! I’ve been a client for over two years, before, during and after pregnancy. I now have two amazing twin boys and I know Sage had a lot to do with my getting pregnant. Kendall has been my primary acupuncturist and she is incredible. She is kind, personable, patient, gentle and an expert on the human body and acupuncture. I’m especially needle sensitive and Kendall always makes me feel at ease so I can relax and enjoy my treatments. I’ve seen almost every practitioner at Sage and they are all wonderful professionals. I highly recommend this particular acupuncture practice. You won’t regret becoming a client.

These ladies are great– very knowledgable, kind and gentle. I saw Abigail mostly, though I really loved Charlotte and Kendall as well. I started a year ago to help with fertility, my progesterone was extremely low. Within a few months it was within normal range, and I was pregnant. I then continued all throughout my pregnancy for maintenance and comfort. At the end of my pregnancy, I had symptoms of preeclampsia. I increased my visits to 2 – 3 times a week to keep it at bay and it REALLY helped keep my blood pressure in check. Had the hospital allowed it, wanted to have Abigail at my delivery.
I was scheduled for an induction at 37 weeks, and despite my difficult 3^rd trimester, delivered a robust little 7 lb and 8.9 oz boy. Thanks to Sage for having a huge hand in that.
One thing to note: be careful with the herbs– they’re just as strong as medicines. I used a fertility tincture given to me there before getting pregnant and asked if it wold raise my blood pressure, and was assured it was probably fine. It ended up doing so and it raised my bp and gave me a panic attack! (I’m likely WAY more sensitive than others.) So just be careful if you know some things give you strong reactions and do your own research.
Also I wished they had a loyalty program of some kind– I went so often (not on insurance), I think some kind of discount, even if just a few dollars would have been nice.
Overall though, it doesn’t get better than Sage for acupuncture in Austin. They really are wonderful.

I can’t express my gratitude enough for Sage, and especially Charlotte Sobeck. I started going to weekly acupuncture sessions at Sage in September of 2014. I was coming off of a very disappointing 2^nd IVF attempt, and was willing to try anything to improve my chances. I have a heart condition that makes pregnancy unsafe for me, so my husband and I were attempting IVF with a surrogate to carry our baby. Unfortunately, we ran into lots of obstacles on my end of the process. I had gone through 2 IVF cycles and only had one frozen 5 day embryo to show for it. Egg quantity and quality were an issue for me at only 32 years of age. My weekly sessions with Charlotte gave me a new clarity and focus, and Sage became my safe haven. Through Charlotte, I learned so much about my body, how to read my own signals, and that there were things I could do to improve my egg quality and over all health and fertility. I felt empowered and revitalized and I committed to Charlotte’s recommendations for 6 months before attempting a final IVF cycle. We were able to do a 5 day fresh transfer with our surrogate, and she is currently 25 weeks pregnant with our baby boy! This absolutely would not have happened without Charlotte’s care. She made the difference for me and made this possible for us. Charlotte is so knowledgeable, calming, understanding, supportive, and genuine. I just knew I was in the best hands and I trusted her completely. We were in it together, and she treated the whole me, not just my fertility. My emotional, spiritual, and physical health all improved through her guidance. I saw most of the wonderful ladies at Sage including Abigail, Kendall, Sadie, and Michelle and would highly recommend all of them. Every session at Sage was a peaceful, healing experience and was exactly what I needed. I can’t thank them enough for making motherhood a reality for me.

I worked with Sage accupuncture because I knew they worked on women’s issues. I didnt go for fertility issues, but rather to be treated during my 1^st and second trimesters of pregnancy. I had a lot of difficult symptoms and so i looked forward to my weekly visits there. I worked with Abigail who was terrific and kind and always very professional. We worked on many different issues that arose and I believe it was very helpful. I wouldnt hesitate to see her again if other issues arise. She did extra special touches like remembering i didnt like music and that i needed to be propped up. And the foot massage at the end however brief was always heavenly! I highly recommend both Abigail and Sage accupuncture for anything!

I love, love, love the gals at Sage! After a miscarriage and many months of attempting to get pregnant, I am wholly convinced that regular visits to Sage helped me to conceive naturally, and maintain my pregnancy. I have primarily worked with Kendall, and she is wonderful — warm, personable, knowledgeable, and hugely therapeutic. She is an excellent listener who exudes empathy and takes time to explain each treatment. Aside from getting pregnant, I have seen overall improvements in my mood as well. There is a point for every ailment or complaint that acupuncture can help remedy. For those afraid of the needles, let me tell you — they are no big deal! It took me a couple of times before I could zone out during the treatment, but I am so, so glad I kept coming back, despite initial anxiety. Sage is wonderful, and I plan on remaining a regular there, even after my sweet boy is born. Thank you, Sage!

100% hands down THE best thing I could have done for myself during our fertility treatments. I worked with Katie and she is always patient, asks me about details and remembers things I tell her, patiently answers every question I have about fertility or otherwise. Since she is a labor and delivery nurse too she has a lot of knowledge and works super hard for her clients. Going to acupuncture became like a haven for me to relax — I swear it is better than a massage and completely worth the price. The staff and the experience of actual acupuncture make it an essential part of trying to get pregnant in my opinion, or for anyone who might benefit from acupuncture. When you book your appointment ask for Katie!

I went to Sage’s sparkling new south location weekly seeking to relax and prep for delivery during my 3^rd trimester. Katie was fantastic. She was skilled, friendly, and genuine. I felt I was in good hands each session. If you find yourself hesitating about the needles, don’t worry, they are teeny and don’t hurt. They feel a bit like a very mild pinch or a flick of the finger for just a second and the effects are well worth any little discomfort. I’d definitely return.

I have seen Michelle and Kendall — both are amazing!!! After a year and a half of failed infertility treatments (including Clomid, Femara, IUIs and a failed IVF), I turned to Sage Acupuncture to try something different to help w/​conception. I am SO happy I did because I am now 17 weeks pregnant and I owe it to all to Michelle and Kendall at Sage. I had never done acupuncture before but I am a huge believer now! They focused on my overall well being and made suggestions on dietary changes to make based on what my body was telling them. They told me me more about my body then any other health practitioner ever did and I immediately noticed changes in my body. After taking their suggestions on board, I did an embryo transfer and got my first ever positive pregnancy test 10 days after. I did acupuncture for a few months before transfer and then weekly through my first trimester (it helps support blood flow and overall wellbeing to reduced miscarriage chances). And on top then all of this, they are so emotionally supportive and understanding throughout the whole process — it was like having therapy to help with the emotional side of everything. Thank you Michelle and Kendall for getting me so much closer to my lifelong dream of being a mother (just 23 more weeks to go!) Cannot thank you both and the whole Sage team enough!

Sage Acupuncture is awesome! If I could give them 10 stars I would. Kendall is the absolute best. One of the most caring and compassionate people I’ve ever known. She is also very knowledgeable and dedicated to her patients. I saw her for almost a year to help with my PCOS and stress from my job (I’m a nurse practitioner). She definitely knows her stuff. Always treats all of you, not just one issue. I can’t tell you how many times she saved me, whether it be I was beat down from work, sick with a cold, or just plain emotional. She listens and cares deeply for the whole you. I couldn’t recommended a better acupuncturist or practice.

I’ve seen all of the acupuncturists here… because I was having to fit appts into my schedule when I first started going. I’ve been working with Charlotte regularly through my efforts to get pregnant. I truly believe that if it were not for my treatments here at Sage, and Charlotte, I would not have been successful!

I went to Sage because I was having problems with menstruation, ovulation, hormones, etc. I started seeing Kendall (on a friends recommendation) and following all of her suggestions and within 4 – 5 months everything went back to normal and I no longer needed to take hormonal supplements that had been prescribed by my doctor. Kendall is very sweet and caring and made the whole experience very positive. I always looked forward to my visits and would recommend her to anyone looking to try acupuncture.

I started at Sage after it was recommended to me by my RE about 3 years ago. I had suffered a miscarriage and had no idea about the many benefits of acupuncture. I started seeing Sadie and Michelle, who are both absolutely wonderful. After they moved to the Steck location my schedule was such that it was easier to see Kendall. I have been seeing Kendall for quite some time now, and she has now seen me through 12 weeks of my first successful pregnancy! I can’t say enough good things about these ladies, their bedside manner, support, and how you truly feel how much they all care! I will continue to see Kendall throughout my pregnancy and to prepare for birth.

I was recommended to Sage Acupuncture by a friend, and by my team at Texas Fertility Center. My initial appointments were with Sadie, who I loved, but due to scheduling I transitioned to seeing Kendall on a bi-​weekly basis for several months. She was everything I could have hoped for – warm, funny, caring, flexible, and a great listener. She not only helped increase my fertility, but worked on other related issues like my digestion and anxiety as well as periodic headaches and allergy symptoms. I will continue to visit Kendall throughout my pregnancy for a myriad of reasons, and consider Sage an irreplaceable part of my wellness team!

I love going here for acupuncture. I did it before and after my IVF transfer for 2 different cycles & everytime, I got pregnant! Acupuncture is no joke. Sadie & Michelle know what they are doing! We previously did
4 other IVF cycles with no acupuncture and IVF only worked ¼ times. Highly recommend Sage!

Kendall is an absolutely amazing acupuncturist. I was immediately comforted by her caring and warm manner, as well as her extensive knowledge about Chinese medicine, the human body and various ailments. I initially came to Kendall for hormone related issues, which she was able to heal, along with various other ailments that came up along the way, teeth grinding, congestion/​cold, stress, anxiety and even a knee injury. At the start of each appointment, we would sit down to discuss new developments and reflect on the items that we were focusing on. She was always kind and gentle, with a comforting word when I needed it. Per my request, she always explained what exactly she was doing, what points she was choosing and why. I immensely enjoy my experience at Sage Acupuncture with Kendall and know that her work with acupuncture and herbs has helped me immensely. I would highly recommend Kendall to anyone experiencing any type of issue that could be improved with acupuncture.

I visited Charlotte Sobeck for several reasons: migraine relief, allergy relief, fertility care, prenatal care and I go back for as needed treatments still. She’s a great acupuncturist who listens to you and your body’s needs then diagnoses from there. She was recommended to me by a few friends who all have seen her and all gave great reviews and now I can confirm their recommendations. Thank you Charlotte!

I would highly recommend Sadie for your acupuncture needs! I began seeing Sadie following our third miscarriage… and admittedly, was very skeptical. After my first treatment, I knew that Sadie was a great fit and the treatments left me with a sense of calm, and even a sense of hope for the future. Not only is the acupuncture treatment great, Sadie is a great «therapist» as well :) She listens and is very compassionate and sincerely cared about us and our situation.
We became pregnant 3 weeks into treatment and I continued until the end of the 1^st trimester. I am already looking forward to going back for labor prep in a few short weeks!

I am an acupuncturist myself so I’ve had my share of the wide spectrum of possible acupuncture experiences — student interns, Chinese masters, you name it. Michelle is the absolute best — gentle, warm, intelligent, kind, and super skilled. Her treatments incorporate bodywork & acupuncture & leave me feeling completely cared for & happy. She’s wise, intuitive, & insightful & gives me excellent advice every time. In addition to her acupuncture degree she’s also a massage therapist, a nutritionist & she’s studying to get her PhD in Chinese Medicine. Amazing!
So, go see her — she’s brilliant & you’ll thank me when you’re so relaxed that you forget how to dress yourself after your session (this actually happened to me today :))

«Sadie is a wonderful, personable health care practitioner. I have had the pleasure of using, as well as recommending, her acupuncture services for years. Sadie through the years has helped me with several health issues. All to great success. She is incredibly professional as well as knowledgable!
She also helped my very dear friend Claudette become pregnant. Our joke, much to the chagrin of Claudette’s husband, is that Sadie knocked her up! Their amazingly beautiful daughter is 2 ½ and we are all so grateful!!!»
