Denise Platt Lichtig, MS, LAc

Denise is incredible! She is not your typical acupuncturist that just put needles on your body — she addressed your problems in a holistic way and takes the time to explain everything she does with the needles. She also gives dietary recommendations and provides a wide array of herbs (from traditional Chinese herbs to Amazons’ plants) that work in synergy with the acupuncture treatment. She is very meticulous and acute observer of minor changes in your body’s response to treatment — changes that can have huge effect on the overall well-​being. She is extremely knowledgeable, and always willing to share a few pointers to improve people’s lives. The treatment is personalized and the peaceful environment of her home is very conductive to healing and relaxing.

Denise has been an integral part of my emotional, mental and physical healing over the past 2 years. When I moved to Davis I quickly realized I needed to find an acupuncturist to replace my SF acupuncturist. Denise has been so helpful while I healed over the past 2 years.
When I first saw her, I felt like I was in a million scattered pieces. She helped me find all those pieces and put me back together. I feel loved and cared for when I see her!
Today I feel better than I have in years! I still see her for tune-​ups but she has given me so much help to get to a good place! I could not have done all this healing without her.

Denise is one of the most caring, genuine people I have ever met. She sincerely listens to you, and it is clear that her first priority is to help you feel better, if not your best. I noticed a difference in my pain level after my first visit and I have been experiencing positive results ever since. Denise has preformed acupuncture, cupping, and provided me with herbal tea. The facility is serene, comfortable, and clean. I cannot help but sing her praises to everyone I meet. I strongly recommend Denise and her extensive knowledge of Chinese medicine. She is a true healer.

I have seen Denise on and off for at least 10 years now. I have used acupuncture to treat hay fever and help with some other health issues. She is wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and caring. And treats the whole of you — mind, body and spirit.
I used to have pretty severe hay fever every year since moving to the Central Valley 20 some years ago. By improving my health and the use of acupuncture I hardly have a problem with hay fever any more. What a relief — I don’t dread spring time anymore! And I haven’t used medications to treat it for years.
Denise has her practice in her home, which is very peaceful and relaxing. She uses bed linens on her massage table, and has relaxing music in the background. Definitely a healing, relaxing experience.
Denise was very supportive and helpful when I was dealing with a serious illness. She was a very important part of my health team. I have also seen her to enhance my well being, health, and spiritual growth. I highly recommend her.
Denise also teaches tai chi and meditation.
