Gina Renee L.Ac.

The very first time I walked through her door 4 years ago, I was in extreme pain from a sports injury and could hardly even walk. I was a hot mess and was desperate to try anything that would help ease the pain and bring relief. My physical therapist aid recommend I try acupuncture and to walk do the street to see Gina. So I did just that with some reservations because I had never tried acupuncture before but needed to find a way to lessen my discomfort. I walked in off the street to met her and make an appointment. I was welcomed with open arms, a warm smile and her sweet dog. She was going on a holiday break but offered to fit me in the very next day– I was relieved.
After my first appointment 4 years ago, I have been consistently seeing Gina to help ease pain, get better sleep, balance my hormones and relieve digestion concerns… needless to say, she is amazing at what she does. Gina has been the one constant support throughout my 4 year recovery who is always there to offer guidance, support and a listening ear. Her recommendation on my first appointment of changing up my diet helped relieve my sciatic pain within weeks after months of suffering, among other concerns I was facing. I honestly don’t know where I would be in my recovery process without her help. I have come in with a laundry list of symptoms and she is always open and willing and offer support and assure me I will heal.
Now I am pregnant and she accommodates my changing body with lots of pillows and always makes sure I am super comfortable and relaxed. After 4 years, she is more than my acupuncturist, she is my friend. I recommend her highly as she is equipped to help many different bodies, injuries, health concerns, and so much more– like supplementation and nutritional guidance. Gina saved me life and I am forever grateful for her dedication to her practice and patients.

I came to see Gina with my Fiancé on the recommendation of a friend — specifically for IVF treatments and relaxation — I was not disappointed. Gina’s personality and professionalism is top notch, It is the best spent hour of my week — I feel like I am getting exactly what I need every visit. Typically afraid of needles, I am not here — and nor should you be, she is gentle, and the treatment is painless. Reasonably priced, and located conveniently in the heart of Monterey, I recommend Gina, and will continue to see Gina long after my fertility going needs!

A few years ago, I started having a range of symptoms related to a change in hormones (hot flashes, insomnia, general feeling of stress, some weight gain). I concurrently developed a work-​related arm and shoulder injury and have long had trouble with allergies. I can’t emphasize enough how much Gina has helped me with all of these issues and how highly I recommend her. She is a friendly, gentle, empathetic, and very knowledgeable practitioner who offers the most restorative acupuncture session I’ve ever experienced. I also appreciate her expertise and guidance within other related wellness areas, such as nutrition and exercise. I am so grateful to have found her, as I have access to greater happiness, health, and strength through Gina!

Gina Renee saved my life. I found her through a good friend in a really bad time in my life. I had just been diagnosed with RA and was in a lot of pain. I had also just had a foot surgery that wasn’t healing well and I was miserable. Gina worked with me to find the right supplements to help with the inflammation in my body, and guided me through the best change ever which was diet and nutrition. What a difference that made! With the new diet plan, the supplements and her acupuncture treatments, I am now pain free, happy, calm and at peace again. I don’t know what I would have done without her. I thank God every day that I found her when I did. She is a warm and loving person and genuinely cares about her patients. I always look forward to my appointments. I couldn’t recommend her more if I carried a sign on my back, which I would do if she asked me to. She’s that good.

EXCEPTIONAL!!!
Before I started seeing Gina I was horrendously stressed, sleep deprived, and steadily gaining weight. She has helped me tremendously with the relaxing acupuncture sessions and terrific nutritional advice. I am now sleeping better, feeling less stressed, and eating more nutritiously than I have in years!
The acupuncture session itself is like a dream. (The needles are completely painless — you can’t even feel a prick.) It’s akin to a spa session that makes you feel better long after the appointment is over. Her office is my refuge. After each session I leave feeling both relaxed and empowered.
I was hesitant to write this review because these sessions are so important to me, and I’m unenthused about her appointment book filling up even faster :) Still, I couldn’t help but share my story. Gina is truly exceptional, and I’m so grateful to have found her practice.

Finding Gina has been a blessing. I have been seeing her for two years and Gina has helped me tremendously by treating my chronic pain through acupuncture and has guided me through necessary dietary changes. She will listen to your needs with compassionate ears and an open heart. She is very knowledgable on nutrition and has helped me create a healthy diet to counter inflammation. I come out of her acupuncture/​nutritional counseling sessions feeling happy, calm and full of life. Gina has a beautiful soul and has not only helped me physically but also mentally and spiritually.

I’ve been seeing Gina for over 3 years for migraines, neck/​back pain, stress, etc and working with her has alleviated these issues and has really helped me feel well balanced and healthy. She’s very caring and non-​judgmental and will work on your health with you using methods tailored to the individual. Her treatments will help with pain and she will also help you improve your overall health with dietary suggestions. Her approach is very loving and warm. I always look forward to treatments with her and so do many others who have been fortunate enough to find her.
