Tatyanna Teeuwisse, LAc

What sets Tatyanna apart from other acupuncturists is that she not only treats the pain but treats the root of the problem. She starts off with an eight page evaluation that is quite comprehensive in getting to know your medical background history. Tatyanna has in-​depth knowledge and understanding from a traditional chinese view of Qi flow and blockages.
I went to see Tatyanna to get the edge off a pulled back muscle. I wasn’t able to sleep soundly for three nights. After treatment, I slept like a baby. I’m not one to use medications and I like to be treated holistically without Advil or other pain relievers.
A big thanks to Tatyanna for her healing hands!

I can truly say that I have found a jewel in alternative health care! She is truly dedicated and gifted in her healing call. She has a strong and calming presence! She can pinpoint the issues you are having and works with Western medical practioners to provide you with a holistic perspective. I have been seeing her for about 2 – 3 years for various health issues! She also has a great new location!

Tatyanna is as wonderful as they come! I have suffered from chronic pelvic pain for years and have tried everything to find relief. Tatyanna took the time to understand my history. She formulated a treatment plan that I am happy to report has been successful! I will be eternally grateful to her for providing me with relief from my pain that I haven’t been able to get through Western Medicine :)

Tatyanna put my life back together after an awful work related experience. Her knowledge, depth of concern, wisdom was the only thing that saved me from my vital organs completely shutting down. I am forever indebted to her.
She is constantly learning, growing in her knowledge of Chinese remedies, and is an inspiration to those who know and love her.
she’s simply the best.

Sometimes in life we meet people that will change our life forever.
Tatyanna has had a profound impact on my life. Her knowledge, skill, and judgement compounded with her compassion rates her at a 10 rather than a 5.
I sustained a spinal cord injury almost five years ago and have been treated by Tatyanna for about four years. She has been and continues to be very instrumental in how and why I was able to continue my career of nursing.
Her dedication to the healing profession, her communication skills, and her caring demeanor are outstanding!
Sometimes in life we meet people that will change our life forever. Tatyanna is one of those people!

I started going to Tatyanna for massage over 5 years ago. Truly the best massages I have ever received. I now go her for acupuncture. Tatyanna has so much love and knowledge about her work. She has always been dead on for me.
Last year I went on a vision quest. and fasted for 4 days. I was very ill when I came back. I was not able to eat. I had to go to work that evening. I went to see tatyanna, and by the evening I was fully ready to work all night.
I don’t need to see an acupuncturist regularly only when I am not feeling well. I wouldn’t see anyone else but T.

I have suffered for years with thyroid problems, migraines and sleep disruption. I have been to countless MDs, PTs, nutritionists, holistic practitioners and 2 other acupuncturists before finding Tatyanna.
I was impressed with Tatyanna the first time I met her. She has so much knowledge, about the body and how it works, and she shares her information readily.
I feel completely relaxed around Tatyanna, and her office environment is completely zen. It is clean, quiet and has beautiful, soothing colors and images on the walls. She has all types of herbal tea in her waiting room.
During an appointment, she meets with me first and we talk about how things are going for me on the protocol that she has set up. The entails taking a tincture of Chinese herbs and really cleaning up my diet. We also talk about yoga and which instructors have helped advance our practices. She also talks with me about advancing my meditation practice and incorporating Qigong, which I have been trying to get myself to do for a while. She is a very good communicator, and do not feel any judgment from her. Even when I lapse (say, with my diet), she just talks about getting back on the right path. She always mentions recipes that she makes or talks about her organic vegetable garden, which I think is very cool. I am going to start my own!
I specifically chose a health insurance plan that covered alternative medicine, because MDs simply do not cut it, as far as I am concerned. I have Blue Shield, and they pay her office, and I just pay a $ 26.00 co-​pay for each office visit. This is completely worth it. I see her once a week, and I have never had any problems with the billing in the months that I have been seeing her.
As far as the needles go, she has a gentle touch, and she explains which meridian she is stimulating or what she is doing with the stimulation. I always feel great after a session.
My health has definitely improved since going to Tatyanna. My headaches have virtually disappeared, and my sleep is WAY better. Tatyanna is a very smart lady, and she not only talks the talk, but she walks the walk. As a patient, I learn so much from her that will bring me to better health, help me live longer and help change the lifestyle and eating habits of my family.
In summary, Tatyanna is an outstanding health practitioner and human being. I love to talk to her and be around her and I know tons of people who feel the same way. I was in Whole Foods yesterday talking to a friend I ran into, and I mentioned Tatyanna, and another customer in the produce isle was like, «Oh, I know what you mean! Tatyanna’s my acupuncturist too!» It is common knowledge that she is awesome :) !

Tatyanna is difficult for me to communicate with. We have miscommunicated four times and have trouble understanding each other’s point of view.
Tatyanna rushed me into a slot she had free, treated me constitutionally rather than directly for the pain in the area that was bothering me, and did not warn me about the amount she would charge me if my insurance did not cover her fees. I left the office in pain with no relief and a bill almost double from what I was expecting based on comparison shopping. I switched to a therapist who treated me directly for my pain and charged a competitive price and gave me control over submitting claims to the insurance company.
Since writing my first review, Tatyanna emailed me to better understand my concerns. It took us two exchanges to clear up our respective points of view and move from misunderstanding to compassion.
Tatyanna is not my style of healer. But maybe she works for you.

At 48, I am a newby to Oriental Medicine and Accupuncture and came in as a confessed skeptic of CAM practitioners in general. I also was seriously concerned that I’ve exceeded the recommended life-​time allowance of NSAID’s.
Dr. Tatyanna was not at all dismayed by these proclamations. In fact she’s been exceedingly gracious about assuring me that my faith and her work are complemented by the transformational healing that is taking place.
I say transformational because having spent the 80 – 90’s as a competitive athlete I’ve had eight various surgeries and have exhausted my trust of conventional western medicine and their orthopedic practices.
After just five acupuncture visits complemented by Oriental med’s I am experiencing life pain free for the first time in decades. I arrived with a Dx of chronic osteoarthritis [lft knee] and similar joint discomfort in my lft shoulder… but even with this dreary wet weather I feel GREAT.
Of course her quick disclaimer this morning was that healing and recovery is cyclical and i am likely to feel OLD again [my words not hers] at some not too distant future.
We are onto something here. I haven’t had to take a single advil in weeks… Thanks Dr. Tatyanna!!!

I’ve been seeing Tatyanna for acupuncture for more than a year. Tatyanna is amazing and helped me a lot. I came to see her after my pregnancy/​delivery which was very tough, and she helped my body heal. She also helps me cope with stress and pain management.
She has a soul of a healer, when you see her you feel relaxed and calm. The atmosphere in her clinic is very inviting.
She also sells herbs and alternative medications that I took for a long time which really complemented the treatment.
I really recommend you go and see her. I thought that acupuncture isn’t helpful and I didn’t really believe it that, but Tatyanna proved me I’m wrong.

With my second child, I started having «pre-​term labor» at 35 weeks. These often very intense contractions did not stop until the day I had her, at 40 weeks + 2 days. My midwife had suggested I consider acupuncture to help with some muscle pain that I had been having, and by the time I got in to see Tatyanna I was 2 days late. Tatyanna assumed I was there for an «induction», and I decided whatever she might try would be fine-​contractions every 3 – 5 minutes for most of the last 5 weeks was really taking its toll on my mind and body.
Long story short, I got to the Artemis at 3pm, had 3 needles inserted by 3:10pm, and started having «active labor» by 3:20. At 4:14 we were in traffic, about 5 minutes from home, and I told my husband I needed to push! My husband had our midwife on the phone, who by this time was also on her way to our house, but she was stuck in traffic. The midwife told my husband that he might have to deliver this baby. Now that the event is over, I really wish I could have seen the look on my husband’s face when she said that. At the time I was curled up in the back of the van, on the floor, dealing with labor.
As it turned out, my daughter was not born for another hour and a half, so there was plenty of time. But quite frankly, if I had not gotten out of the van when I did, I may have seriously had the baby in the van!
It was not until after the birth that my husband and midwife discussed the details of the acupuncture visit. When I started active labor, I ask Tatyanna to call my husband and get him back to the office (he had taken my older daughter out for a walk). Tatyanna was so super duper calm, that when she said, «things are RAMPING up here», he thought she said, «things are WRAPPING up here», so he took his sweet time coming back! My husband says that when he got in the room, and saw me crying, he thought I just had «an emotional session». Even the midwife said she didn’t sense the urgency in Tatyanna’s voice. With me, she didn’t mince words. Tatyanna looked me straight in the eye (and with a very calm voice) said, «I think you’re in active labor!». When my husband did finally get back to the office, Tatyanna ask him how far the drive would be to get home, and when he said 15 minutes, Tatyanna had a very concerned look on her face, and I think she said something like: try to hurry!
Of course, everything worked out perfectly. My midwife was at my house in plenty of time to get set up and my doula lives close by, and she was able to drop everything and be at my house within just a few minutes.
Someone has since ask me if it could have been a coincidence that I went into labor while having the acupuncture treatment, and my answer to that is that it was definitely NOT a coincidence. Tatyanna noted a «change in my energy» when she checked my pulse before and after putting in the needles. At the time, I thought it was a little hokey-​pokey that she noticed such a big difference, but since she produced results, now I’m a firm believer! My midwife says she’s never experienced anyone responding THAT quickly to acupuncture treatment. Tatyanna told me that only one other time has a woman gone into active labor during treatment, and she ended up driving that woman to a hospital. So I guess my results were a little «unusual», but Tatyanna believes I was already «ripe and ready», and that was just the little nudge I needed.
I admit to being somewhat of a skeptic at first. When we arrived at the office, we parked behind a car with a license plate frame that said, «acupuncture works!». I told my husband, «ha! we’ll see about that!». I also said that if it DID work, I would get one of those frames and put it on my car. Now I have to find one of those frames!
I have been to Tatyanna a few times since giving birth, and I ALWAYS feel better after the treatment.
I really like Tatyanna’s approach to health and healing, and she’s a very warm and caring person.
The facilities are very nice. Serene colors and relaxing atmosphere. Perfect for healing!
Obviously, I do whole-​heartedly recommend Tatyanna and Artemis Healing Center!

I heard acupuncture could get labor going and I’m 8.5 months pregnant. I want it to happen naturally rather than via induction. I still have 3 more sessions scheduled to try and convince the baby to come out, but I have to review Tatyanna now. She completely healed my horrible sciatica (back pain) in one session. I had tried a chiropractor and masseuse, but neither worked. I’ve never done acupuncture, but WOW, I am a believer now. The place is clean, very nicely decorated, and soothing. Tatyanna is professional, warm, and very grounded. I’m hoping my insurance covers most of the price because I had no idea acupuncture is so expensive. Check pricing before you go if you have any concerns. After the results, though, I am willing to pay any price.

I’ve been seeing Tatyanna for acupuncture on a weekly basis for the last 8 months. I first saw her to treat some post-​pregnancy issues and later to treat energy and blood deficiency issues. Tatyanna made me feel much better, she is amazing. You can feel her healer skills when you just enter the room. The treatment is so relaxing and helpful.
I’ve seen other healers but no one was as good as Tatyanna. She is patient, a great listener and very helpful. I never thought that acupuncture works, I don’t tend to believe in these treatments but I was really surprised — it works!

I went to Tatianna at Artemis for acupuncture treatment for my carpal tunnel and she was simply amazing! The facility is clean and relaxing and the personal attention is amazing. It was my first acupuncture experience and she was very good at explaining the process and how it worked. Her treatments not only elimintated the carpal tunnel (the other option was surgery), but also helped reduce my migraines and overall stress. A couple of friends of mine have gone to other practitioners and experienced major pain and even had some of the needles draw blood! This NEVER happened with Tatianna — she was always very gentle and I never felt more than an energy ‘zing’ when a needle was inserted — no pain, no blood. She takes your overall well-​being into consideration, not just the problem for which you seek treatment. I now recommend Tatianna and Artemis to all of my friends!

Tatyanna is an amazing healer. I came to her after an accident, and in great pain, and found her to be caring, empathic and knowledgeable. She helped me understand the nature of my injury and repsectfully treated me as a partner in the healing process. I walked out of our first visit together with an amazingly increased range of motionand reduction in my pain. Tatyann combines a sound knowledge of her craft with a caring and intuitive touch. She effortlessly balance science and magic to help her clients achieve optimum health and balance.

I love Artemis Healing Center. The office is relaxing, calm and welcoming. Tatyanna (acupuncturist) is professional and helped me immensely during my pregnancy. When she takes my pulses, she always knows what I am experiencing even before I tell her. I highly rec. this office. Also, I have received both massage and acupressure from Kerry. She is the most intuitive massage therapist that I have worked with to date. (Previously I received massages at Spa of Los Gatos and Burke Williams.) I highly recommend this office.

Artemis Healing Center was the best! I injured my back pretty severly (I could barely walk), and I was referred to Bryn, the massage therapist, who did wonders on loosening my back, neck and shoulder through her deep tissue stone massage. I have also been to Marilyn for chiropractic care as well as Tatiyana for accupuncture. Each of them were very professional and helpful, since I had never done either of those treatments before. In just 2 days I was back to normal. I am now using all three on a regular basis. They’re so nice and so good!
