WELCOME!
Amanda Sapirstein, L.Ac. offers acupuncture, cupping, and Chinese herbal consultation. Bookings are now being accepted for private treatment at Autumn Dream Clinic in Goleta, as well as for travel sessions in Santa Barbara and surrounding areas.
If you're looking for acupuncture covered by your insurance plan or shorter appointments at a reduced cost, please inquire about receiving acupuncture through Santa Barbara Neighborhood Clinics. Amanda will be offering acupuncture (only) at the Eastside, Goleta, and Isla Vista Neighborhood Clinic Locations as of April 2023.
*NOTE to patients transitioning their care from the recently closed Downtown Community Acupuncture: You may book a return visit/follow-up appointment, but please fill out the New Patient Intake Form.
Feel free to reach out with any questions!
I am looking very forward to seeing and working with you all.

Offerings
Choose just one, or mix & match
Acupuncture
Tiny filaments, commonly referred to as "acupuncture needles" are inserted a few millimeters into the skin in an effort to mobilize and move our internal energetic resource, or "qi" in a way that recalibrates our body's multiple dynamic processes.
The quick version: improved sleep, reduced pain and stress, an undefinable quantity of benefits; Simply, a more joyous day.
Herbs
Chinese Herbal Prescriptions are carefully chosen based on your needs and presentation at the time of visit. We mostly stock encapsulated formulas based on patient preference, although may prescribe a custom granular formula if necessary.
We also carry an array of supplements and herbal skin products which can be purchased without an appointment.
Cupping
Cupping utilizes suction to draw upon muscle, connective tissue, fascia, and stagnant blood, creating space for nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to flow through areas handicapped by heavier and "stuck" deoxygenated blood.
This increasingly popular technique (thank you Michael Phelps) not only boosts the immune system, but breaks up muscle adhesions and improves range of motion, thereby relieving acute and chronic pain.
