Adrianna is amazing!! I feel so nourished and taken care of when I’m in her treatment room. She is so knowledgeable and attentive to my needs and worries. She also gives an amazing massage, different technique than I’ve ever had but so amazing!!!

The first time I went to Adrianna was for a kink in my neck. I got so much relief even after one visit. I know after one visit that she was going to be my go to girl!

I was having a very stressful week and my nervous system was all out of whack. I know I needed to contact Adrianna immediately!! She got me in and worked her magic. I already feel much more grounded!!

Adrianna has been my acupuncturist for several years, and I highly recommend her. Her combined skills in acupuncture, therapeutic massage, and cranial-sacral work are exemplary. She has helped me a great deal. Adrianna has treated me for multiple muscular/skeletal issues, especially lower back pain and sciatica, as well as for fatigue, stress, and various other complaints. I really appreciate the way she combines a heartfelt authenticity and upbeat energy with her expertise. Her balance of compassion and professionalism make me both comfortable with her and confident in her treatments and recommendations. The support staff in her office are also friendly and helpful. I have gone to several acupuncturists in Santa Cruz over the last 40 years; while all were helpful, Adrianna definitely has been the best. I look forward to continuing with her treatments for many years to come!

Adrianna is a true healer! She has a warm and caring energy and instantly makes you feel heard and partners with you in your health journey. She thoughtfully tailors each session to what's coming up for me and uses her modalities (Acupuncture, TCM, Cranio Sacral) to best support me. I've had significant improvement in my hormonal health, GI and allergy challenges under her care. I send all my favorite people her way and cannot recommend her more highly.

Dr. Adrianna Gonzalez is the most incredible, intuitive, wisest and effective healer I have ever had the honor of knowing. She has led me on a true healing journey for the past four years, and I am forever grateful to her for her wisdom and deeply profound understanding of the body, spirit and mind. She not only treats her patients in relieving pain and emotional blockage, but she provides individualized tools that resonate with each specific person, so that they can begin their own journey and flourish on their own. I try to harness the wisdom that Adriana teaches me on a daily basis to live my best version of self. Hands down, Adriana is the most gifted healer there is. Thank you, Adriana, for your prowess and wisdom!

I have been fortunate enough to have been a patient of Dr.Adrianna Gonzalez , for the past 11 years. She is so much more than an acupuncturist and herbalist. She deals with the whole patient and looks at all aspects and possibilities. I look forward to my weekly acupuncture sessions with great anticipation and gratitude. She has helped me not only with my physical ongoing challenges, but also has been phenomenal in dealing with some different injuries that have happened through the years. . Adrianna is also a concerned listener and imparts her compassionate knowledge with gentleness and effective solutions.Dr. Gonzalez has many patients who feel as I do and was actually voted as one of the two best acupuncturists and Santa Cruz a few years ago. She focuses on the whole person not just the symptoms.

After my Acupuncturist of 30 years retired, I spent 5 years looking for a new practitioner. I finally found Adriana, and after the first visit I knew she was everything I was looking for to address chronic intestinal, neurological, and back issues. She is highly skilled, intelligent, kind, compassionate, intuitive, has a terrific sense of humor(so important when treating chronic issues), and possesses a remarkable ability to impart healing advice without judgement. I always leave my appointments feeling calmer, relaxed, inspired to improve my healing journey, and grateful to her for my improved health; physically, spiritually, and mentally.

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Dr. Adrianna Gonzalez. Over the time I’ve seen her, she has worked wonders on my health. I started seeing her for help with uterine polyps and a chronic respiratory illness that I’ve suffered from for a year since getting Covid for the first time. In fact, my first visit with her was on day five of yet another cold that was clearly turning into a respiratory infection. During that initial visit, I was blown away by her thoroughness and attentiveness. She took so much time to explain what was happening with my body and what we could do to work on it together. I felt so taken care of and trusted her implicitly right away. The treatment was delightful and relaxing, and I was sent home with a plan, some big lifestyle changes to make, and some herbs.

In the three months that I’ve seen her, I have not had a single cold or virus, which for me feels like a miracle because I had been sick every 4 to 6 weeks for an entire year. Additionally, the symptoms from my uterine polyps have completely disappeared, and my cycle is now regular and balanced, sparing me from the need for surgery! On top of all this, I’ve lost 20 pounds, which has helped tremendously with back and joint pain that I had been dealing with.

Dr. Gonzalez's attention to detail, deep knowledge, and genuine care for her patients set her apart from any healthcare professional I’ve encountered. Her approach is warm and never judgmental, making every appointment a pleasant experience. We often laugh through our sessions about the concepts of coldness, dampness, and slipperiness, which makes the healing process even more of a joy.

She takes the time to understand every aspect of your health, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan. Through her treatments, I’ve learned so much about my body and maintaining overall wellness, not just healing illness.

If you’re looking for a compassionate and skilled acupuncturist, I highly recommend Dr. Adrianna Gonzalez. She truly has a gift for healing.
