Abundance Health

Grace is a knowledgable practitioner and a gifted healer. She is patient and treats me holistically, listening attentively and addressing all my concerns. While I see her routinely for acupuncture to address pain in my neck and back, she has also adjusted me in yoga postures to ensure I am benefitting from my practice without causing stress on my ailing vertebrae. In the flu season, she has helped me cope with my high-​germ work environment by advising me on eastern herbs to boost my immune system. In a time of grief and high anxiety, she did cupping on my back to ease my weary heart. I feel so fortunate to have found Grace’s darling business, nestled in a cozy Victorian in the Little Italy section of downtown, along the Guadalupe River Park. Her business partner, a gifted esthetician named Christina Christner, keeps my skin radiant, while Grace helps me shine from within.

I am terrified of needles, but Grace is incredible. I injured my back (herniated disks and pinched nerves in my spine), after seven months of being pretty much incapable of doing anything (even opening a door), the neurologist at Stanford suggested I try acupuncture and a chiropractor — in addition to physical therapy (he did say no surgery for me). I have to admit, I put off acupuncture because of my needle phobia and started with the chiropractor, but that only did so much and the chiropractor said I should definitely try acupuncture. I’m really glad that I did, but that I chose Grace. The first time I was terrified, but she has a really great way about her where she made me feel okay and understood how much pain I was in. If you’ve been in a lot of pain, that’s kind of a big deal to know that someone understands just how much pain you are in. This isn’t one of those things where I went in and the first session made a miracle — I went twice before I really noticed a lot of change. One of the sessions made a whopping huge difference and that had me completely floored, in disbelief and doing a happy dance. Honestly, I have no idea how this works, or how she does this, but it’s been amazing. I went from not being able to do use my arm to suddenly just opening the fridge and grabbing the milk — what?! I literally had to rely on my husband and others to do everything and now, I’m just doing things — like normal. I still have a ways to go, but I just wanted to post this so anyone even on the fence — even a scaredy cat like me – will give it a go and call her. Also know, the pills do help — that’s where a huge and major impact happened for me. I don’t know how they work, but it’s been crazy to go from western medicine giving me pills that knocked me out, to these herbs that make it so my hand/​arm works and I have quality of life.
I really don’t know if I would have stuck with it if it hadn’t been for Grace; she’s been really great and has made me feel like I’m not alone in this — that it will get better — and to me the crazy thing is, that is has, and in such a short amount of time! After suffering so long I had to write this and say seriously — give her a call!

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Grace in the past three weeks to help get rid of muscle spasms in my throat (around the larynx). These spasms have affected my work (as I am a vocalist and I perform, on average, three days a week) and have been getting worse over the last two years. I was nearing desperation. I went to three american medical doctors that prescribed me medicine that didn’t really help me much and they pretty much sent me away thinking that it was just a problem that was eventually just going to go away. They were wrong.
Enter Grace Bolton —
Over the past three weeks, I’ve received three treatments and my throat spasms are happening much less frequently than ever. Last month, they were happening a few times every day and would last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Now, they’re only happening a few times a week maxing out at around 15 – 30 minutes. I can’t tell you how happy I am!
Grace is sincerely concerned with your health and she really takes care of you. I always feel relaxed during her sessions and the facility is VERY clean and calming. Parking is easy (metered — they have quarters at their front desk for you if you need them!), and the location of her office is in a cute area of downtown San Jose — Right smack dab in little Italy!
If you’ve been curious about Chinese Medicine or acupuncture, please see her. She can treat anything from allergies, to diabetes, to stress, and can even give cosmetic treatments! She is extremely skilled and has been taught by the best! Make an appointment with her ASAP!

I went on October for an acupuncture session with Grace Bolton. The session was the best I had so far from other experiences before.
As always, when you go to an acupuncture session, the procedure is quite the same (questions and trying to make you comfortable) with Grace I felt peaceful and not nervous at all.
Grace started her session and let me meditate for the last 15 to 20 min. And I found peace and energy regenerated in my body again. Feel like new!
She also recommended and gave me tips –which I still follow– on matters of how to prevent to happen again and take care of my well being.
It was a great session and I’m planing to comeback really soon.
Highly recommend!
