Momo Acupuncture - Mo Vargas, L.Ac.

Maureen is wonderful! She’s warm, funny and highly skilled. I had tennis elbow for nearly a year before I finally turned to acupuncture. She had me fixed in just a few sessions. I’m impressed with her practical knowledge and experience and will definitely seek her out much earlier next time!

Id never had acupuncture before (not being a fan of needles), but was having a lot of pain and problems with range of motion in my shoulder area. A friend of mine suggested that I try treating it with acupuncture and I went to Mo. She took a health history and asked me to show her which movements were causing me pain. Every time that she placed a needle, she checked in with me and had me try movements with my arm (to be sure she was hitting the correct area) and the results were immediate. I didnt look at the needles, but felt quite comfortable and the process was surprisingly relaxing! Mo is warm and funny, which also helped me feel more comfortable. I will definitely try acupuncture for future issues!

Mo is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I have had acupuncture a few times over the past 25 years for chronic pain and an episode of numbness in one of my arms. I always left feeling that the acupuncture didnt help my pain but made me much more relaxed (possibly from lying down in a dark room for 20-30 minutes). With Mo, my near constant neck pain was gone by the end of my first session. If you have tried acupuncture unsuccessfully before and are considering trying it again, I highly recommend Mo!

I have been working with Mo on many different issues including migraines, over active bladder and hormone balancing. Mo is so knowledgeable and warm. She explains what she is doing and why. I have seen improvements in all of my symptoms and I feel like I am always listened to and safe. Mo also is extremely knowledgeable about herbs but does not push them on you. You meets you where you are at and understands exactly what is going on with your body. I love working with Mo and highly recommend her!

I went to see Mo for PMS and after my first acupuncture session my back pain was gone! I left feeling incredibly relaxed and balanced. I had no idea acupuncture could be so effective. Mo was easy to talk to and even shared some helpful tips on how I can reduce my future PMS symptoms. She is a very thoughtful practitioner with a wealth of knowledge for women struggling with hormone issues. Thanks Mo!

I saw Mo after hurting myself weightlifting. After only one session my pain had been cut by more than half and I was able to get back to the gym the next day! If youre active and prone to hurting yourself like I am I would highly recommend seeing Mo she will help you get back to an active lifestyle so much faster than just trying to work it out on your own!

Mo was very thorough and asked very specific questions regarding my back pain. She had many suggestions on how to improve my body aches outside of acupuncture. Her energy and the room was very relaxing. Thats right, the needles were relaxing and I almost fell asleep. I highly recommend her. She also has an array of healing teas!

Stop reading this review and call Mo now! You will not regret it.I have gone to Mo multiple times for things that I couldnt get relief from any other way... pain in my leg from fallen arches, tennis elbow, tingling and pain down my thigh, allergies and sinus issues. And every time the issue is gone after one visit for most things!Since becoming a Momo fan, Ive had the occasion to refer friends for their aches and pains and hormone issues. And everyone sings their praises after!Even if you dont like needles, dont let that stop you. Mos approach is gentle and comforting. I usually fall asleep on the table and am awakened when she checks on me 30-45 minutes later.GO SEE MO SO YOU CAN BE MO-BETTER, TOO!

I saw Maureen for tennis elbow which I had earned by playing tennis 3-4 times per week for many years. It was apparent from the first meeting that Maureen had a clear understanding of both tennis and tennis elbow. She is warm and genuinely interested in seeing improvement. I received more benefit from Maureens treatment than I had from all other efforts. I am back on the court and I will not hesitate to see her again for this or any other problem for which acupuncture is appropriate.

I highly recommend Maureen for any type of sports related injury. When I first met her I had a lot of pain in my elbow - it was very stressful because I was used to playing tennis several times a week. I had just had surgery to correct a tendon tear and the Surgeon told me that the pain would probably flat line at the level I was experiencing. When I was referred to her I didnt know if she could help but after the first treatment my pain had reduced 80 percent. She was very clear how many treatments I would need but she discharge me from care 4 treatments before her estimation because I was pain free. Ive been able to play tennis for 5 years without pain in that elbow. I have know seen her for a bad knee and shoulder with similar results. I have gone to many acupuncturists but her technique is unique and the most effective that Ive found thus far. Thank you Maureen!

I came to Momo for my first acupuncture experience, I didnt have any specific issue but I loved the relaxed and also energized feeling I got after all those needles. I was also surprised over Mos knowledge within holistic medicine, she taught me a lot.

Mo Vargas is a very talented and caring Acupuncturist. I originally went to her with a number of issues that I needed help with and through a combination of traditional acupuncture and nutritional supplements she was able to address my concerns in a timely manner. I will definitely utilize her services again as required.Caleb L.Santa Cruz, CA
