Modern Alchemy Acupuncture

I absolutely love Carlyn she is so sweet and kind. I feel great every time I see her. She is a warm open person and her acupuncture is on point the oils she uses is very relaxing as well. It’s only been my third session and I am feeling great, more and more… so I will be seeing her again of course

I went to see Carlyn for acupuncture because I’ve been in pain with a frozen shoulder for almost a year. Physical Therapy didn’t help and neither did a cortisone injection. Although I am phobic of needles, I found I was quickly able to relax because Carlyn is so gentle. I was able to trust that she wouldn’t hurt me. I was amazed at the end of the session to find that my pain was totally gone! Although some of it came back after a few days, it was not nearly at the level it was before the acupuncture. The second treatment gave me even more long lasting results. Carlyn is knowledgeable, gentle, kind and very caring. I am a massage therapist, and will only recommend the very best practitioners to my clients. I have recommended Carlyn to many of my clients because I am sure they will get the very best treatment.

Over the last several years I have been fortunate enough to be able to call Carlyn and be treated for various different problems. Whether it is when I am feeling sick or have a physical injury, I always leave feeling relaxed, stronger, and much better. She makes you feel very comfortable and listens to everything you have going on. It is clear that she understands how the body works and connects. I cannot recommend seeing Carlyn enough!

What a treat to oneself! Acupuncture is one treatment I give myself ones in awhile. I met Carlyn at a Monday night meditation meeting in Spirit Rock in Marin several years ago, and immediately I felt very comfortable around her. I learned she facilitate one’s well-​being through acupuncture and nutrition. I finally got myself into one of her sessions yesterday. My body just responded beautifully. I woke up early this morning feeling so refreshed, and I took the time to observe my entire body. When my alarm sounds off in the morning, it was a struggle just to open up my eyes. I woke up early with no alarm, and I was refreshed and wide awake! I’m feeling really good! When you’re ready to take your body, I call it my temporary vehicle while I’m on earth, to the next level, incorporate Carlyn’s acupuncture and nutrition regimen to your path to healthier living! The entire session is very relaxing. Her clinic is easy to find with lots of parking. She will recommend this nice café afterwards (I did ask her where I could get a great meal), you have to go and eat there too — your body will thank you for the whole package! I highly recommend Carlyn’s services to all my friends and family members! Carlyn, keep doing what you’re doing, and thank you for your work and passion in facilitating healthy living to those who are ready for it!

Carlyn is a wonderful person. We called her when my husband threw his back out on Christmas Eve and even though she couldn’t see us because she was out of town, she spent 20 minutes giving me the names and numbers of people she trusted. We are looking forward to working with her after the holidays. Thank you Carlyn.

I love Carlyn at Modern Alchemy Acupuncture. I was pretty neutral on alternative medicine until I had a condition that my Doctor’s were unable to resolve. Their solution was lots of prescriptions to mask the problem. I decided that I had nothing to lose by trying Acupuncture. Carlyn did an intensive pre appointment work up Q&A plus a pre treatment evaluation. After my first visit I received a detailed report of findings and FINALLY someone had an idea as to what my problem was. It took fewer than 3 complete appointments to begin to feel relief from my 4+ year ailment which had negatively affected my sleep and life in general. Carlyn was so knowledgeable and helpful. I was able to make different food and lifestyle choices to manage my issue. I truly believe that Carlyn wants optimal health for each of her clients to the extent that they are able. She shares nutritional knowledge, her choice to be vegan and her passion for wellness in a nonjudgmental way. I also love that Carlyn is an animal guardian.

In the world of health care practitioners, I feel fortunate to have discovered Carlyn, both for myself and for my life coaching clients who are looking for solutions to their health care needs. I only refer my clients to other professionals I am completely confident will provide the best possible services. As an Acupuncturist and Nutritional Consultant, Carlyn is top flight in her dedication, her breadth of knowledge, her responsiveness to each individual, and of course her treatment skills. I can’t recommend her too highly!

I recently sought the help of Carlyn Montes De Oca, a practitioner who specializes in Acupuncture and nutrition. Besides the fact that she is extremely intelligent, professional and thorough, she also scores off the charts on the integrity meter as well.
I am just beginning the process of redesigning my lifestyle and diet to enhance my comprehensive health, but for the first time I am excited about the process. Carlyn is very sensible, she likes to deal with one issue at a time. She maintains a careful attention to the individual symptoms and how they relate to the whole person, in terms of physical, emotional, and nutritional health.
During my first appointment she must have spent almost two hours with me, meticulously investigating each of my concerns and then clarifying my goals for treatment.
At the end of the appointment, I realized I had forgotten my check book. Embarrassed, I told her that I would rush home and get a check to her in the mail immediately.
She said not to worry, «it’s not the most important thing.»
REALLY?!
To me, that signified that the most important thing to this very talented practitioner is her practice. How refreshing, encouraging and assuring. Five stars for the practice. Ten stars for Carlyn!
