Santa Barbara Chinese Medicine

I received some very soothing and effective treatment for a nerve pain issue. Kristen was really genuinely so kind and helpful and went the extra mile when it came to researching my needs and coming up with treatment strategies. She will listen to your concerns. I found the space she uses to be comfortable and warm, so easy to get in and out of. Highly recommend giving acupuncture a try with her, especially if it’s your first time and you have any anxiety about it. I also sought treatment via cupping that was great for blood flow after workouts.

Kristen is an amazing and knowledgeable provider of Chinese medicine. The constant back pain after multiple weekly sessions has allowed me to resume normal daily activities. I'm a walker and yoga enthusiast. Kristen also has a extensive knowledge of herbal medicine and offers comprehensive solutions for a variety of sleep disorders, energy and immune boosters and so much more at VERY reasonable prices. I HIGHLY recommend Kristen. A very warm, beautiful and comfortable office allows a positive and rewarding experience.

Today I went to Kristen for an acupuncture treatment, and had a wonderful experience. The location was easily accessible with plenty of parking. The space was clean and peaceful. I enjoy self care and practicing the energetic arts, but I was very surprised at the results of my appointment today. Kristen integrated a few different modalities, such as reiki and cupping with the acupuncture session. I felt a beautiful new flow of energy during the session which continued into the early hours of the same evening. And wow! It was just amazing. A cool, crisp sensation of prana energy began flowing up from my heart center all the way to the neck and throat area. It was calming and pleasant. I am full of gratitude as I think about how wonderful that session was. Kristen is amazing!

I decided to try acupuncture during a very tough recovery from ACL surgery that was not going well. I had never tried before but Kristen's site said she works on sports injuries so I went for it and I'm glad I did. She's very good and considerate and has been helping my knee feel better and the sessions are very relaxing for my mental as well

Awesome experience with Kristen Swegles. Went in for stress and tension in my neck. Three treatments later, I was a new person. I go in for tune ups every month now and was able to stop my stress medication. I highly recommend Kristen for acupuncture and herbal supplement recommendations.
