Transformational Acupuncture

I am so grateful to the AMAZING team at Transformational Acupuncture! They have been INSTRUMENTAL in my recovery from a significant health issue. THANK YOU SO MUCH Adam, Lorraine and Hanna! I cannot recommend them highly enough! They truly are the best!

WORST SERVICE EVER. Make sure to double check with your insurance before going and don’t count on their website. This one visit turned out to be a nightmare with multiple follow up calls for almost a month. Finally they turned out to be out of network, despite stating the opposite on their website… Claim processing was a total mess too, they charged me AND my insurance the full amount and took forever to refund me even though my insurance reimbursed them.. Won’t go again, I don’t have time to deal with misleading businesses nor attitude and won’t recommend. Otherwise my acupuncturist Lorraine was really nice.

Heather is a life saver. I was dealing with a lot of new health issues and she brought me back to myself and cleared those issues. I am forever grateful for her calm, grounding, and intuitive approach to caring for her patients. Thanks a million!

This is my second round of treatment with Transformational Acupuncture for pregnancy migraines. I saw them during my first and now second pregnancy and have found it to be the only thing to provide relief. I love that it’s a drug free, safe solution. I don’t know what I would have done without their expert treatment. I highly recommend them for pregnancy related treatment.

I have been going to Transformational Acupuncture off and on since 2016. I have seen a variety of clinicians in the practice and have always been happy with the results. It is the first place I go to with running injuries and I have also received herbs for a lingering cold. The team is always professional, thorough, and gets the job done. I highly recommend this practice if you’re looking acupuncture or herbal medicine.

Transformational Acupuncture is a fantastic, professional, and welcoming healing center. Ive worked with all of their practitioners and have had good experiences with everyone on staff. Its easy to make appointments and manage bookings, always a smooth process during treatments, and the staff is great at helping with short- and long-term treatment plans. 5/5, definitely recommend!

I cant give enough praise to Transformational Acupuncture! As a new patient of acupuncture, the staff made me feel right at home: the setting is serene and calming, and the attention to patients is first class. My experience with Courtney has been one of the best client/care relationships Ive ever had, and I look forward to my treatments each week. Ive become less lethargic and any acute issue I have is solved once I leave the studio. Each person Ive referred to the practice has also given rave reviews. A big thank you to the entire staff!

Transformational Acupuncture has changed my life! In just a few weeks of treatment, I was on a steady path to recovery. Also, the staff there is wonderful. They listen to what is going on with you and treat you uniquely each time to address your ailments. Their facility is clean, tranquil, and conveniently located. I always look forward to my acupuncture appointments!

Adam is truly wonderful! I was VERY pregnant and was dying to go into natural labor and my scheduled induction was coming up. Adam was so professional, warm, and kind throughout the entire process from start to finish. I successfully went into labor ONE DAY before my scheduled induction so YES acupuncture works!!! I highly recommend and cant say enough positive things about this business.

Transformational Acupuncture is a wonderful place to go to for healing and increased well-being. I received treatment for several issues and injuries from Jeremy, Courtney and Andrei over several months. What a talented and compassionate team of health care providers! I have used acupuncture for many years, and always find it helpful and healing. The team at Transformational Acupuncture didn’t disappoint, and consistently provided me with thoughtful, careful healing and great peace of mind. I highly recommend them.

Im so happy I found Transformational Acupuncture. I always look forward to my weekly appointments with Courtney because she is super calming and never fails to make me laugh. She takes a holistic approach to pain management and emails me articles based on our conversations about different treatments or methods that might help. The office environment is so serene, its like a spa. The music is always different and very soothing. Ive never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment. The entire team at Transformational Acupuncture is kind and welcoming. I recommend Transformational Acupuncture to anyone who asks about acupuncture.

Conveniently located in Dupont circle, this quaint office is super peaceful and serene, Dr. Adam is very caring and meticulous about the car that he gives. Healso very attentive and the front desk staff is very pleasant. My need for acupuncture resulted in a positive outcome. I highly recommend this place.

I started going to Transformational Acupuncture last year when I felt like my immune system was not very strong. I did some research and found that acupuncture was suggested, so I figured it was worth a try. I worked with Amy over a few months and now go about once a month. I have not gotten sick since I started going. It is incredible. I knew nothing about acupuncture beforehand and now recommend it to my friends. I primarily see Amy but have also seen the other technicians there and they are good, too. Nina at the front desk is lovely. Cant recommend enough!

This is a great place to get care and acupuncture. Acupuncturists take their time to talk through what you are there for. I saw Andrei and Jeremy and both are great! The session is tailored to meet your needs and adjusted over time and a set of sessions to really target the problem. I started going regularly due to chronic and quite debilitating joint pain accompanied by hives. Now you would think needles when you are rashy are a bad idea - true.... But Andrei worked with me minimizing needle placements and still getting results. I normally walked out of the session more mobile than when I went in. Also, the support staff are responsive, and very professional. Not only are they one of the few places in DC that take insurance, they are affordable if your insurance does not have that form of coverage. At $55 a session - it is accessible acupuncture (its a little more for the first session since your acupuncturist will spend time just getting to know you first). Just go price shop around, its pretty cost effective. And they know what they are doing.... Thumbs up all around!

I dont even know how to begin describing how amazing Transformational Acupuncture is. There simply arent enough superlatives in the English language! I had been going to acupuncture for a year before switching to this clinic and Im so happy I did. Everyone is so warm, friendly, and inviting and the ambiance in the space is tranquil and calming -- the perfect place for healing physically and emotionally.I go to Marianna and to say that she works miracles is the understatement of the century! She is so knowledgeable, caring, and skilled. She also prescribed Chinese herbs for some of my issues and it has absolutely changed my life. I have sessions several times a week and they have become a sacred part of my self-care ritual.Not only that, its super easy to submit your health history and insurance forms through the website as a new patient and booking appointments online is a breeze. I also love that I can always find parking, which makes getting to the clinic way less stressful. They have gift cards, too -- holiday shopping just got way easier for me! ;)Also, shout-out to Erin who is the loveliest front desk hostess!I tell everyone who will listen (even random strangers!) about this place. Stop what youre doing immediately and go to Transformational Acupuncture!

Quickly transport from traffic, street noise, car fumes, and work stress, into the urban oasis that is Transformational Acupuncture. I have been visiting the clinic for several years and I am always impressed with the level of service and the clean, relaxing atmosphere when I arrive. The staff is friendly, professional, and incredibly skillful. Each acupuncturist is unique and highly skilled in their work. I feel safe and supported from the moment I enter to when I leave. If you have a chance, I highly recommend attending some of their additional offerings like Qi Gong, meditation, and tea ceremonies.

Ive been coming to Transformation Acupuncture since last Fall. Initially to address pain in my foot, but have seen so many benefits from acupuncture that I try to come in once a week! Ive only had sessions with Courtney and Andrie, but the ENTIRE office is SO friendly, attentive and simply great.Ive also purchase herbs and other products from them. Pricing is great and I appreciate being able to use my flexible spending about for these services. They now offer cupping! I am looking forward to trying to this.I ALWAYS feeling more relaxed and overall yummy. Highly recommend acupuncture to everyone and this office for great personalized and friendly services!

While I dont have experience with many other acupuncture clinics, I dont see how another provider could be better, more caring or more reasonably priced than Transformational Acupuncture. I sought help primarily for stomach issues, and while Ive seen and liked all three practitioners -- Jeremy, Courtney and Andrei -- Ive spent the most time with Jeremy. He worked with me to arrive at a thoughtful treatment plan with goals and a clear timetable to check progress, and every time I visit, we go through a careful assessment of how Im doing to fine-tune treatments -- which I really appreciate. The treatments have significantly helped my health and well-being, and just being in such a calming, friendly atmosphere is a benefit in and of itself. Their location is convenient; theyre kind, caring and calming; its affordable, and most importantly of all it works. I cant recommend Transformational Acupuncture more highly!

Acupuncture is an absolute treat for me! I enjoy every moment laying on the mat and feeling my body relax and open up. I have been doing Acupuncture for stress relief with Joe and he also helped me with a short and easy every day meditation which I am able to do anywhere I go or stay. The practice is beautiful and calm. The moment you step through the door you automatically slow down and you feel the calmness and quietness of the place. After every session I feel extremely grounded and calm! I can recommend this to anyone who is up for something new to try or to get back into the Acupuncture routine! Enjoy and relax!

I have a Type A personality and am always on the go. I constantly feel I need to be productive and have a hard time relaxing. Additionally, I studied psychology in college and feel that psychological therapy is good for everyone (whether you need help or not) to receive a professionally, unbiased opinion on ones life and have the opportunity to vent. Im originally from New York City and when I moved here, I hadnt found a therapist that I enjoyed seeing. Therefore, a friend of mine who was a patient of Jeremys suggested I see Jeremy for the 1 hour therapeutic session which includes 30 minutes of private conversation then 30 minutes on the acupuncture table. I honestly never thought to do acupuncture (I thought it was too hipster for me); however, BOY was I wrong! Ive been seeing Jeremy every month now for the past 2 years and its been life changing. It allows me the opportunity to vent about life and then actually take the time to relax and be in my own thoughts while Im on the table. My body and mind also feels incredible after each session. I would highly recommend Transformational Acupuncture to anyone!

I started coming to Transformational Acupuncture for treatment for a variety of issues because I heard from friends and colleagues that acupuncture was effective, even though I was skeptical that it would actually work for me. It ended up being extremely helpful.I was seeking treatment for a range of chronic issues, where medications were helping to some degree, but not completely. I started noticing results fairly early on in the treatment for some issues, while some took longer to treat. I also noticed that if I could feel a migraine starting, acupuncture would help to prevent it or at least make it milder than it likely would have been without acupuncture.Ive been coming here once a week or every other week for approximately 1 year and I consider it an important part of my health regimen. If you have not done acupuncture before, its important you know that its not something that you notice quickly and drastically. For me, its effectiveness built up over time and the effects were gradual. Transformational Acupuncture gets 5 stars for the facility, location, and expert practitioners. I have been treated by Courtney, Andrei, and Jeremy. (I switch practitioners because my schedule changes frequently.) One thing that stands out about this place is that all of the practitioners meet together regularly to coordinate and develop a plan for each client. So, I could be treated by Courtney one week, and Andrei the next, and they will have a discussion about what type of treatment would be best or what adjustment might be needed for me. I find this to be very valuable because its important for whoever I work with to fully understand my situation. I have not worked with Amy yet, but Im confident that her level of expertise is comparable to the others.All of the practitioners have been really helpful, and it is clear that they are all very experienced with acupuncture, and also with a range of other holistic treatments and alternative medicine, as well as an understanding of western medicine and approaches. I appreciate that they try to get an idea of the complete picture to develop a treatment. The admin staff are also very helpful and pleasant, and try to accommodate scheduling challenges (and I have them often). I recommend getting an insurance policy that covers this treatment if you intend to make it a regular part of your life, because it gets expensive if youre paying out of pocket. The admin staff are very helpful in talking this through with clients. I highly recommend this place, and have referred/will continue to refer friends of mine here for treatment.

I have been getting Acupuncture for about 3 months and Im really satisfied with the results/experience. Jeremy is a great acupuncturist, he is very knowledgeable, caring and helped me on identifying the specific areas of pain, and pain level. I really appreciate that Jeremy takes the time to understand your needs and give you a customized treatment every time. Ive been to other acupuncturists that just do the same thing on every session, which doesnt make sense to me because your pain and your body are in constant change.It is super easy to make appointments online, the place is very clean and the location is perfect. The staff is very welcoming and always attentive to your needs. I highly recommend and refer my friends here.

I came to Transformational Acupuncture when my coworker said he got great relief from a back muscle he pulled playing squash. My issues are different (worsening back pain, especially in the am) from chronically tight muscles). Massage alone (even with a credentialed therapist) was no longer helping. After confirming with my GP that my issues were muscular (not skeletal or a pinched nerve) I thought I’d give it a try. Acupuncture is proving to be the missing piece I needed to complement other changes I was making.Courtney explained the “Practice” approach, and how the team works together so you can see any practitioner to stay on track if your schedule is unpredictable, as mine often is. The team takes detailed notes, asks questions regarding progress and status, and trims the proverbial sails of the treatment accordingly.Courtney set a course that she explained would be like “peeling an onion” given the layers of muscle involved, but it has been steadily helping since I started in November. My sleep has improved considerably, my pain has gone from hard-to-get-out-of-bed to mild and temporary discomfort. My flexibility and mobility continue to improve. Thank you to Andrei and Courtney for all the great work so far. Jeremy and Nadia, you have assembled a great team.Good availability for scheduling (though a preferred time may be best secured in advance) and you can usually get seen quickly if you can be flexible. Nina and the front desk team manage a waitlist brilliantly. Location is very close to DuPont Circle metro (north exit) and this is hugely helpful for me. Facility is terrific.

Ive been to lots of acupuncturists and I know they can go really wrong. Transformational Acupuncture is just the type of practice I love and recommend. Its really professional, clean, and peaceful. Both Jeremy and Joe are great acupuncturists that make things flow and heal without hurting. Nadia is very helpful with bookings and insurance. I cannot recommend it enough.

Through my treatments with Jeremy, Leanne, and Elyse – primarily, Jeremy – I have seen a complete transformation in my attitude on handling stress and a great improvement in my sleeping patterns. Overall, I feel that I have become a more well-balanced person. The staff also has great suggestions on a wide range of issues, including accessing resources for handling stress to starting herbal treatments and incorporating certain exercise and mindful meditation practices all of which have strengthened me. Perhaps most significantly, the staff’s friendliness, including Nadias upon arrival and departure and those of each of the treatment specialists, as well as the staff’s continuing creativity and healing energy make you want to return again and again. I would recommend Transformational Acupuncture treatment to any friend I know!

I have had a truly excellent experience at Transformational Acupuncture.Acupuncture was recommended to me by a trusted friend as a potential solution for anxiety, and I was open to trying it but cautious and, truthfully, a little skeptical. I met with Jeremy for a holistic health counseling session and my first acupuncture session, and he was absolutely wonderful--compassionate, an attentive listener, and proactive. I have had four or five sessions with Jeremy since and am well on my way through the anxieties I went for originally.Transformational Acupuncture works with a lot of major insurance companies, though my specific plan isnt covered. I thought going to as many sessions as I wanted to would be too much of a personal financial burden, even though Transformational Acupunctures fees are the lowest I found in the District outside of co-op acupuncture clinics, but Nina and Nadia, the office management staff, were amazingly accommodating and kind about making a payment plan that worked for me.Ive recommended Transformational Acupuncture to friends going through similar issues, and one has already followed up with Nadia. The staff here has created a beautiful, peaceful space that is welcoming and nonjudgemental and provides a restful, honest place for healing.

Ive been getting acupuncture here weekly for the past two months to address a variety of issues including insomnia, sinusitis, and joint pain, and the treatments have had a powerful and positive impact on my overall health and well-being. Its a nice space with a relaxing ambiance in a good location, and its affordable. Jeremy is an intuitive, knowledge practitioner and takes a whole-person approach to working with clients and developing treatments plans that are individualized and realistic. The staff are very helpful and friendly and its easy to book appointments. I have and would continue to recommend TA.

I don’t know if I can recommend Transformational Acupuncture enough. I have been going to TA on and off now for about 6 months and every time I leave, I feel a significantly better. I had been having some lower back pain and it would be tough to get up some days because I was so stiff. Though I had tried massage therapy before, I wasn’t seeing consistent results and I decided to give acupuncture a try. I think it was the best decision I’ve made for myself since moving to DC. The staff is friendly. They don’t try to oversell you and they genuinely care about getting you better. If you are looking for a unique gift idea, you don’t have to look further than Transformational Acupuncture.

I absolutely love getting acupuncture treatments at Transformational Acupuncture. It is an oasis of healing for me. I feel extremely blessed to have discovered such a healing haven. I have been going there for pain related to two surgical procedures, fatigue, and insomnia. I have been helped tremendously on all my issues.All of the healers are wonderful. I have tried Jeremy, Andrei, Courtney, and Amy and was extremely pleased with each one. I love it that they are open on Sunday because it makes it easier to schedule an appointment since I work long hours during the work week. My oncology radiologist was so impressed with the lessening of my side effects during and after radiation therapy that he has requested that one of the healers speak to the doctors at GW University Medical Hospital about the positive healing effects of acupuncture for oncology patients. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Transformational Acupuncture.

The team at Transformational Acupuncture has become my wellness family! Their amazing care and dedication to their clients is unparalleled. My sessions with Jeremy are always the highlight of my week; he is, without a doubt, one of the reasons that I have been able to face a recent health diagnosis with positivity and strength.

After months of chronic pain follow a traumatic injury and being passed along from specialist to specialist, I finally made the decision to pursue acupuncture services. Walking into TA in the New Year is one of the best personal decisions I have ever made. It was a turning point in recognizing that my body was out of balance, but that it had the ability to heal itself with acupuncture facilitating it. After dealing with clinical western medicine doctors offices, TA is somewhere you will want to be and look forward to going. Not only is the spaces aura peaceful and bright, but the staff could not be more mindful and kind. The co-founder, Nadia, runs the clinic more smoothly than any other office I have ever visited.To date, this clinic - not a specialist or my GP - has my most complete clinical history and has helped me to address the root cause of my symptoms, compared with western practitioners that want to mask symptoms through prescriptions. First and foremost, the acupuncturists actually listen to their patients and re-evaluate their situations during consults prior to every session. No western medicine doctor has ever provided me the space to talk about my symptoms and their evolution over time. The result is that with an acupuncturist you actually feel like you are working *with* someone on your medical concerns. Although I came to the clinic looking to address specific pain presentations, I ended up addressing the root of more persistent symptoms that I previously overlooked because my GP and GYN told me they were normal. Crucially, the beauty of working with an acupuncturist is their ability to recognize and adapt to your evolving symptoms and make recommendations (such as through herbal consultations) to address them in a more systematic way. In other words, the practice takes a whole body approach to address root issues, rather than masking symptoms, for long-term health.In addition to all of the progress I have seen thanks to the help of the clinic, there are times the staff have gone above and beyond and for that I could not be more grateful.

Transformational Acupuncture is truly a healing sanctuary! After dealing with multiple chiropractors and PTs over the course of 6 months to try and fix a lower back/SI joint chronic issue, I happened upon TA. I thought I would give acupuncture a try after exhausting other forms of treatment because I was still suffer daily from pain. Upon entering the clinic, you are immediately transformed, as the environment itself is calm and peaceful, and the friendly and warm faces are there to greet you. After just one treatment with Andrei, I experienced a profound relief from the pain Id been suffering for so long. I have continued my acupuncture treatments to reduce my pain and also added in herbal medicine to combat insomnia, stress, etc. I cant express how grateful I am to have found Transformational Acupuncture.

I have been coming to Transformational Acupuncture for a couple of months now and it has been a lifeline for me. In my search for an acupuncturist, I initially was looking for a female because the issues I have been struggling with seemed to me, at the time, better suited for a female to assist me with. But when I found Jeremy Riesenfeld online and read about his journey, my inner spirit knew that he was the one I needed to go to. It took courage for me to share my innermost self with him in our very first session, but I also knew that I needed to have courage and trust that he could only help me if I bared my soul to him. And I was right! I have had many acupuncture sessions over the last 20 years, but none of them have been as profoundly effective as Jeremy’s. He has and continues to engage in his own deep, transformational work which makes him a truly effective counselor and acupuncturist. Jeremy always presents very grounded in our sessions. He is an incredible listener with deep insights to share and invites others to view obstacles and struggles from different perspectives rather than with judgment or black/white thinking. I feel safe, heard and understood in a session with Jeremy. And I always walk out feeling like a million bucks on every level. Jeremy’s wife, Nadia, who is a co-owner and manages everything behind the scenes, always offers a calm, kind and joyful energy when I walk in the door. She is such a delight! Jeremy and Nadia make an amazing team and are such a blessing to me and all of their clients!

I love Transformational Acupuncture, both the staff and the place. Once there, one can feel a good energy growing and settling. At first, I was looking for a natural treatment for my ankle. And with Jeremys guidance I was able to learn and treat much more. I strongly recommend Transformational Acupuncture.

This clinic has changed my life. I had been to several doctors, an internist, and all had told me that medication was the only solution for a condition I was dealing with. Finally I did some research and stumbled upon Transformational Acupuncture. I called and they set me up with a a practitioner who specialized in my area of need. We had one consultation and immediately Courtney gave me the confidence that wed be able to work through my condition. We started on acupuncture and herbs and within 3 months I was completely healed. I now go once a week to see her, or any of the other fantastic practitioners. I honestly couldnt imagine what would have happened if I had not found these people - they are wonderfully capable and kind and never gave up on me. I am so grateful for everything theyve done for me!

I have had an excellent experience at Transformational Acupuncture. Prior to starting acupuncture at Transformational Acupuncture, I was having almost daily right upper back pain. I am now going more than a week without any pain and when the pain does occur it is less severe than before. Several of the practitioners at Transformational Acupuncture have gone above and beyond to provide me with additional modalities of relief including at-home exercises and ergonomic videos. This is a great place with wonderful practitioners!

I first went to Transformational Acupuncture when I was faced with spine surgery and in serious pain. Dr. Riesenfeld and his staff were amazing. He takes the time to listen at every session not only to the pain Im experiencing but also to what is going on in my life to contribute to it. Its rare to find a place where they will spend the time listening before treating. He has helped me so much I stopped going to my other doctors and only go to Transformational Acupuncture. They also offer many other services all in one place for a complete holistic approach. I wouldnt go anywhere else.

I started going to Transformational Acupuncture since April 2017. Since then, I have experienced more energy, no fatigue, been able to manage stress, and I no longer have back pain.I have seen all the acupuncturist, very professional and equally wonderful to work with.

Its a little slice of comfort and relaxation. The space is clean and cute and everyone who works there is extremely kind and patient. I chose Jeremy as my acupuncturist and he has been a huge help in bettering the various issues for which I do acupuncture. Definitely recommend incorporating an acupuncture session into your weekly routine!

I cannot speak highly enough about the treatment and staff at Transformational Acupuncture. I first visited because of a lingering back issue. After my first appointment with Andrei, I felt like a new person. He listened to me and created a treatment plan to get to the root of the pain. Together, Andrei and Amy used a combination of cupping and acupuncture to get my pain and injury under control. Theye incredible!Ive gone back to Jeremy, Andrei, and Amy for follow up appointments and recommend each of them to friends. Andrei even treated a bad cold/sinus problem for me once. Im convinced they can cure anything. I much prefer their holistic treatment than a traditional doctor, if I can help it.

Excellent place! Had a lovely relaxing treatment here today. Dr Adam has a lovely manner, hes very easy to talk to. Instantly made me feel comfortable. During and after the treatment I felt extremely relaxed. Highly recommended.

I go to Transformational Acupuncture currently for chronic lyme disease treatment, which is VERY complicate to treat especially as its mostly in my nervous system. I picked Andrei to try on my first appointment because his bio emphasized nervous system knowledge, and now I see him almost every week! So empathetic and knowledgeable. I feel noticeable better after each and every appointment. Andrei will remain my guy as long as I live in DC!

I love transformational acupuncture! they have a beautiful, relaxing space, know what they are doing, and also take time to listen to you with care and kindness. getting acupuncture here has been an essential part of healing my body and my self care routine. much recommended!

I was skeptical of acupuncture, but a colleague told me to try Transformational and see if it helps with my condition. I have found a remedy to my condition and I have been able to take lower doses of my prescription which is leading me to my ultimate goal of not having to take medication at all. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. Ive worked with Courtney the most and she always makes me feel better about myself and my progress. I honestly suggest anyone who doesnt know if it is for them to give it a try. Whats the worse that could happen? Youd either still be in the same condition you are, or youll start to feel better. I will say the changes took about 6-8 weeks to take effect but if it means that I can live my life better than Ill take it!

Courtney was amazing. Very professional, listened well, and adapted her therapy to meet my needs when I was not initially seeing results. I started with hip pain due to bursitis and quad muscles issues as well as neck and back stiffness. The neck and back mostly due to stress. After 2.5 months of therapy I am pain free with my hip, my quad issues have been resolved, and my stress levels were greatly decreased. I am a believer and will use acupuncture again in the future. I would strongly recommend Transformational Acupuncture as a business and Courtney for treatment. However, everyone else there seemed nice and Im sure are just as good as she is.

I have been going to Transformation Acupuncture for a few months now. I came across their flyer while sitting at the Teaism on R Street and was feeling very low at that time. Wanting to raise my energy levels and feel good again, I was hopeful for some kind of healing in the non-Western sense. Lots of things were going on in my life, just as many other people. I have used acupuncture many times before and have had great results with the previous people I worked with. But I was worried that if did try this place out, it would be a waste of time and maybe more of my already depleted energy.I called and made an appointment and it was a very good decision. Since then, I have been seeking treatment for energy and emotional issues and have always left feeling so good and refreshed. I feel like I am being listened to with regards to my ailments and the treatments are such that they match and exceed any bad or tired feelings I went in with. I worked many times with Courtney and Andrei. They are really attuned to their skills and I feel like they give me something new each time and it always works. I dont usually have the same issues so I think it would be challenging to work with someone needing different levels of treatment for me. I love this place.I continue to work with them at least once a week. I am in good hands always and they always make it work for me to come in. I love Nina at the front desk and the owners are just as sweet. I can tell they really want to provide a very healing and nurturing place for the busy people of DC.I love their book selections and have personally bought a few after leaving (I think they now have the books on hand to purchase as its awesome to keep reading when you leave!) The office and space is always clean and bright with fresh water to drink and healing books to read. I think they nailed it with everything.I dont want to say too much about this place as I want to be able to keep this my little secret. I have been sending their link to my yoga students and health clients (I teach yoga and work on healthy living with my clients) because they are always in need of healing emotionally, physically and spiritually. I cant say enough about this place. I hope you check it out soon!

Transformational Acupuncture has friendly, caring, warm, and knowledgeable staff. From day one they listen, get to know you, are just interested in you as a person. They offer many avenues to address your problems and take the time to explain everything in depth. The environment is welcoming and peaceful. I highly recommend Transformational Acupuncture.

Transformational acupuncture is an extremely healing place and I am so happy to have found it. Acupuncture here has really mitigated some health issues I have experienced and is an overall stress reliever. Jeremy is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I couldn’t recommend enough!

I started visiting Transformational Acupuncture almost a year ago for severe, debilitating menstrual pain after visiting several gynecologists and being told the same thing--that my only option was hormonal therapy. After my first acupuncture treatment with Courtney, the debilitating pain that Id endured subsided, and this was pain that was unresponsive to oral pain relief medications. I have had the most encouraging and uplifting experience with Transformational Acupuncture, feeling so relieved knowing that there is a treatment I feel comfortable with that is effective, and practitioners who validate my pain experience and preferences for healing.

Transformational Acupuncture, and the warm and caring team at the clinic (big shout-out to Marianna and Courtney), has transformed my life! I started going there in February in search of migraine relief and pre-conception hormone balancing. Ive struggled with near-weekly migraines for the last 5 years and, having tried Western medicine solutions on and off for years with no real relief, was ambivalent about whether acupuncture would have any effect. The acupuncture and herbal treatments have greatly diminished the frequency, severity, and duration of my migraines and my only regret is that I didnt commit to this modality sooner! Ive also experienced relief from a variety of hormone imbalance symptoms that has left me feeling prepared and healthy in trying to have a baby. And, my seasonal allergies and digestion are much better, mostly as side effects of treating my other ailments. The treatments have improved my life in a very unexpected way -- which is by modifying my level of stress. I no longer feel chronically stressed or like I have an overactive stress response: this has greatly improved my marriage, my work life, and my relationship with myself. Im very grateful to the clinic, especially Marianna and Courtney, and even though the ailments that I originally started going for are much improved, I know Ill continue to go for weekly treatments. Thank you, Transformational Acupuncture!

I did something wonky at the gym and 5 hours later I was walking like Frankenstein and had trouble sitting or standing, and moving in general was very painful. A co-worker recommended acupuncture, and while I had never tried it before, I was willing to try anything to help the pain. I called Transformational Acupuncture. They spent a lot of time to understand what caused my situation and educate me about their treatment process. The pain relief was practically immediate, I could move so much better leaving their office than when I walked in. And any trace pain of the original trama was 95% resolved after my treatment series was completed. I highly recommend Transformational Acupuncture, they are aptly named.

Ive really appreciated working with Courtney. When I moved to D.C., I was looking for an acupuncturist who could talk through my current treatment plan and pick up where I left off. Courtney did that beyond my expectations -- both incorporating parts of my plan and adapting/modifying to fit current needs. I highly recommend Courtney.

Totally improved my quality of life. I have lived with chronic pain for many years - seen several different doctors and went through two rounds of physical therapy - and acupuncture has made the most striking difference in how I feel every day. My rheumatologist recommended that I try acupuncture, and though I was skeptical at first, it has completely altered how I feel every day.

This place has changed my life! I am so grateful for the pain relief in my neck/head/shoulders/upper back that I have experienced in a very quick period of time. I felt a major change after just one visit. It has made me a better person, even helping relieve other pains in my body, such as the stomach, due to the stress relief.I tried the chiropractor, massage, stretching and yoga, but there was never any lasting real relief.My insurance covers a big chunk of the cost. The facility is super clean and welcoming, and you cant beat the location. I have had treatments from all 3 of the specialists, and everyone including the support staff is super friendly and genuine.The temporary pain of the needles is worth it a million times over; besides, only a couple of spots are a little painful. I will be a patient for as long as I am in D.C.!

Ive had acupuncture here with Courtney and Jeremy and find that they really take the time to listen and understand my physical issues from a multidimensional perspective. Both have offered great insights and the sessions have given me much relief. The space is a peaceful oasis in Dupont Circle and there is a fantastic library of books to browse while youre waiting. The front desk staff is helpful and appointments are easy to book and always run smoothly.

Transformational Acupuncture is truly transformational. I had been suffering from debilitating, chronic back pain for several years. Ive been avoiding surgery and after finding TA, Im glad that I held out. After the first several acupuncture treatments, I experienced several days of heaven (as I like to call it). Not only physically, but mentally as well.I took it a step further, after discussing with Jeremy, and decided to try a paleo diet to help with inflammation. Not only did my pain subside further, but I also managed to lose 11 lbs in 2 weeks.I recently started cupping with Amy and I cannot say enough. My little slice of heaven has been expanded to a week at a time. Bonus, Im no longer having to take pain meds as frequently. Amys also worked with me, showing me ways to exercise within my limits with qigong and yoga.For anyone looking for relief of any kind (Amy has helped with my stress/anxiety/migraines/earaches/etc.), I recommend Transformational Acupuncture. Ive been lucky enough to see Amy, Jeremy, Courtney and Andrei... all with excellent results. Not only is the location key (right next to DuPont metro), but the environment is extremely clean and you get a lot for what you pay for (especially as most places in DC charge double). Even better, the staff is not only welcoming but truly cares about what is going on in your life and with your body. I truly look forward to my weekly session and would recommend Transformational Acupuncture to anyone seeking acupuncture/cupping/spiritual assistance.

Transformational Acupuncture has been a fantastic addition to my self care and wellness routine. My doctor suggested I try acupuncture for my migraines and lower back pain that I have struggled with for years (bonus - they take insurance!) I have previously used meds and a combination of physically therapy and dry needling to deal with these issues - all which work in their own ways and depending on how much work I put in. A few months ago, I found myself overworked, over-stressed and so muscularly tense I wound up with a three day migraine that meds couldnt cure. I was ready to try an alternative. Enter Transformational Acupuncture.I have worked with Andrei at least once a week for months and I cant rave about him enough. He is generous with his spirit and healing. We start each session with a quick check-in about how I am feeling - which often leads to suggestions of kombuchas, herbs, books, stretches - to supplement the treatment plan we create. He has been generous enough (and remembers our chats!) to bring me samples of tonics and kombuchas we have discussed in prior sessions. He is incredibly knowledgeable about ancient Chinese medicine, among many other things. I truly feel like he cares and is invested in me getting the best results I can.The billing team and office are GREAT! They do a fantastic job of communicating via email information about my insurance, my benefits, my claims and remaining balances. They are delightful to chat with when you check in. The entire office has a relaxing, clean and light atmosphere. I leave each session feeling unbelievably relaxed and recharged. I think the prices are totally in line with others charge across the city and you get a really great end-to-end experience!I DEFINITELY have and will continue to recommend Transformational Acupuncture to my friends and coworkers. Thank you team for all that you do!!

I started visiting Transformational Acupuncture in the first trimester of my pregnancy due to constant nausea and migraines and have been extremely happy with the results. Its the only intervention that helped alleviate the symptoms. I really enjoy seeing Jamee, hes knowledgeable, competent, and has a calming demeanor that I appreciated on days I wasnt feeling great. The location just a few steps from the Dupont Circle metro is convenient. They recently switched to be an out-of-network provider with my insurance and that resulted in increased out-of-pocket costs (from $25 to $45), but Ive continued receiving treatment because the alleviation of migraines and headaches is absolutely worth the cost.

I had a tremendously positive experience with Jeremy’s acupuncture services. I had taken my dog to acupuncture for years to treat her hip issues and saw amazing results (there is no placebo effect for dogs!) but I had not ever experienced it myself. I had extremely painful tendonitis in my elbows for over two years. Countless doctors could not help heal the pain I was experiencing, they just wanted me to medicate the pain away. I was at the end of my rope, but then I found Transformation Acupuncture…and boy was it! Just a couple sessions with Jeremy reduced my pain by about 90%. I continued going to him for a long time after to help me heal some other emotional and physical issues – everything from relationship problems, sleep issues, improper diet, and plantar fasciitis that I suffered with for 10 years. I used to tell my friends that he was my “acupuncture therapist” since I would tell Jeremy my problems and he’d heal them with acupuncture. He has brought contentment back to my life on so many levels. He is truly an amazing person and I’m so thankful to have found him. He literally changed my life and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Also, if you are concerned about the needles, don’t worry, I was a total chicken when I first went. The rewards far outweigh the pin pricks!

I cannot compliment this place enough. I’ve even recommended Transformational Acupuncture to several friends and classmates. The work Andrei did in helping me with my upper back and neck made a very real and lasting difference in my day-to-day life. Before coming here, I was in so much pain from all my sitting, reading, and poor posture that it was hard to think about anything other than how much my back hurt. I felt a ton better after just a few treatments; I continued going for several months, and all the while, I kept noting how much better I was feeling. After a couple months, I no longer needed treatments because the old problems had gotten so much better, and I stopped making things worse for myself by using the techniques Andrei taught me to keep myself in shape. If I ever have back problems again, I will not hesitate to come back here. I was always impressed with every single person who works here, the cleanliness, the timeliness, and how easy it was to make an appointment online or via phone. I’ve been to acupuncture places before, but this is the only place I’d ever return to or recommend to a friend.

I cannot recommend Transformational Acupuncture more.Jeremy is a great practioner. His ability to balance long term health goals with short term needs was excellent. His coaching sessions definitely help you look at medicine in a slightly different way so that you feel more empowered to look for more answers to your medical issues and raise new questions with doctors. He also works with in a network of other health professionals so he is able to research problems and recommend people to assist you further.Its been a great experience and I would recommend Jeremy to anyone whos ready to try acupuncture.

This practice is a gem hidden in plain sight (and Metro-accessible too).Their mission is to make Acupuncture accessible and they do it quite well, even for those with no coverage. And beyond that: the practitioners are excellent. I should know: my neighbor in PA was a professor of acupuncture in Shanghai. I came in with digestive problems, all the nerves in my twisted intestines screaming (or at least grumbling) in pain. The folks took time to talk, to get to know me, and added a few extra points for the mental stress I was in. . . If youve never tried acupuncture before, Transformational Acupuncture is a great introduction.

I had a wonderful acupuncture experience. I came in with major back pain as well as other issues. After the first session, my back pain was miraculously reduced and has continued to improve. Now, after 5 sessions, I am beginning to feel more peaceful and relaxed. The entire staff and office environment is very welcoming, as well.

Treatments are rushed and not worth your time. Youre thrown in a room with multiple other patients separated by cubical dividers. Cupping technique is outdated.Additionally, I reached out to my Acupuncturist, Catherine Walters, to provide feedback on my experience and never got a response. I have been to multiple other acupuncturists (located in NY, PA, etc.) and this was by far the worst. My advice, stay clear.

If you’re looking for the Premier Acupuncture Clinic in Washington D.C., look no further. I’ve been to several acupuncturists over the years to treat conditions ranging from acne to depression to brain trauma to adrenal fatigue. There are tons of acupuncturists out there, most of them are helpful, some of them are able to listen and connect and few are able to do it all. Through Jeremy’s hard work, this clinic has become part of my weekly routine and a place I call home. You’ll know what I’m talking the minute you walk in. You’ll be greeted at the front with big smiles, followed by a discussion with your acupuncturist to truly understand what’s going on. And then, of course, you’re likely to walk out the door feeling somehow magically better then you did when you arrived. (Whether that’s actually the acupuncture or just Jeremy’s jokes or Nadia’s smile, feeling better by the end is almost guaranteed!). Good luck with your journey, and hope you enjoy the same benefits I’ve been so privileged to receive.

What a lovely space for healing. Just coming into the reception area, the energy and atmosphere is one of warmth, peace, support and non-judgement. The staff was very helpful in answering all of my questions in a complementary consultation as I was new to the practice. The acupuncture treatments have helped in reducing the severity and occurrence of my migraines and given me the added benefit of lowering stress. I would highly recommend working with Courtney Codina, acupuncturist, as well as any one of the staff. Many people have acupuncture benefits through insurance and dont realize it. Even without insurance coverage for acupuncture, Ive found the out of pocket price is very reasonable, especially for the high quality of care and treatment Ive received.

After a year of working full-time and attending graduate school part-time, my body became so weighed down by stress that it basically stopped working. I had mono in college, and that’s exactly what this felt like. From roughly April to August, I was constantly exhausted. I couldn’t exercise, I could barely function at work (if I could show up at all), and my social life came to a standstill.I saw several doctors over the summer, and I was tested for everything from mono and Lyme Disease to hypothyroidism and diabetes. Everything came back negative, so they sent me home without any guidance or help. A friend of mine suggested I try acupuncture, so I scheduled my first appointment with Jeremy in late August.It’s difficult to describe the change I felt. It wasn’t sudden, like you would experience from popping a pill. I can’t say I noticed anything in particular my first time, but on my third visit, I fell asleep on the table. When I woke up, I felt a calm in the center of my chest that I’ve only felt once or twice in my life. It stayed with me for the rest of the day, and over the next few weeks, I began to notice that along with increased energy, I was much more capable of handling stress—which seemed to be a major factor contributing to my fatigue in the first place.I saw Elyse for a session, who recommended that I cut out all alcohol and caffeine for a while, which I (mostly) did. I also worked with Leanne a couple of times, and I could always feel the increase in energy afterward. I’ve been going to the clinic for about three months now, and my body has steadily gotten stronger in that time. I haven’t felt the debilitating fatigue come on since I started my treatment, and I have no doubt that this is in large part because of acupuncture.

Jeremy offered a responsive, caring, and professional experience from start to finish. Jeremy responded to my initial inquiry promptly and we were able to make an appointment within the week. During the first session Jeremy listened with empathy to the issues that had brought me to him and gave me a treatment. For the few days after my muscles felt tight and tired but then I felt much more energetic. I had a variety of ailments and Jeremy used needles to pinpoint (pun intended) the points to help heal those issues. In particular, my sleeping and resilience have been much improved since I saw Jeremy and expect to visit him every few months for a refresher treatment.

Before trying acupuncture, I had no idea how effective it was. Last year my shoulder pain was diagnosed as rotator cuff tendonitis. My doctor gave me a cortisone shot for it, but after a month the pain returned. He then recommended physical therapy. I was a bit hesitant because Id done physical therapy for another condition and it didnt really work. So I decided to try acupuncture. I searched the web for a practice with good reviews and one that I would be comfortable at. I choose Transformational Acupuncture and was not disappointed. Everything about them wowed me. The fact that everyone made an effort to properly pronounce my name, the friendliness of all the staff, the layout and cleanliness of the facilities, and most of all the expertise of the staff. They accept insurance and made the processing a breeze. My co-pay was minimal and Nadia suggested an easy payment process that worked well for me. She is a wiz at dealing with the insurance companies and made the process painless. Nina, the office manager is a cheerful, friendly, person. It was always a pleasure to meet her when I came in for my appointments.I was treated by Jeremy and Courtney and once by Andrei. They were all fantastic. Courtney handled most of my treatments and she is a master at healing. Very knowledgeable, skillful, with a zen-like demeanor. When I first started treatments, I still had some residual pain from another condition I was in physical therapy for. Well, after a few treatments, that pain went away. It took a bit longer to get the rotator cuff tendonitis under control but Courtney did. Now I can lift my arm, sleep in peace and know that the pain is no longer a threat to my daily routine. I am grateful to them for their assistance and treatment. I will return to their care if needed in the future and will recommend the practice to others. I am now a true believer!!

Ive had a lot of acupuncture over the years and am delighted to say that Andrei at Transformational Acupuncture is among the absolute best practitioners Ive ever experienced! From plantar fasciitis to knee pain to overall well being, hes created improvements with every treatment. Too, his knowledge of herbs and other natural remedies has also been of special help.

I have been doing acupuncture for a couple of weeks to help with rehab pain and life stress. I really recommend this place. The lighting and decor is very soothing. Jeremy and Nadia are warm, knowledgeable, and nurturing folks. Im always glad I went.

The real thing! Had my first session with Amy and it was incredible. I had cupping and acupuncture after what I call a therapy session. My body feels so much better since falling down the stairs last week. Amy is very warm and caring. She really listened to me. I cannot wait to go back!

I received acupuncture treatment from amy Bab early this year. The treatments I received are for plants fasciitis and sciatic nerve pain, and performis syndrome (butt pain). After previously had three cortisone shots three times on my foot and physiotherapy for both my foot and my back, and butt. I was not able to move beyond very limited exercise. This was genuinely painful for me both physically and psychologically - because I am a gym bunny.After about three weeks treatment by Amy, I was able to walk with much much less pain and, slowly increased the intensity of my training in the gym.I can genuinely say that Amy and acupuncture had improved my quality of life and turn me back to a happy bunny.I have everything good to say about acupuncture and Amy.

Joe has been treating.me for irritable bowel syndrome and stress. Ive gone to different acupuncturists on and off for over 25 years. Never have I received such powerful treatments. I can feel my meridian channels opening. My last treatment was Sunday 2-3-19. This Thursday 2-7-19 in the afternoon I was resting and was revisited by the treatment as if I was actually on the acupuncture table.

The acupuncturist here is great but the front desk is so terrible. I’ve been coming here all year and all i get is laziness and incorrect information from the front office staff. Management really needs to find good front staff because it makes you not want to even come to this office and deal with this non sense.

Transformational Acupuncture is great - highly recommended! Like many avid (mid 40 year old) tennis players, I have long suffered with tennis elbow. Mildly annoying but with taking enough Advil, something I could deal with. Earlier this year, I suffered a severe biceps strain playing tennis that kept me off the courts for several months. That was very annoying. I tried rest and rehab to little avail. At the suggestion of my physician, I tried acupuncture at Transformational Acupuncture and the results were extremely positive and immediate. Since that initial visit, I have played a good deal of tennis with no discernible pain (even while forgoing Advil prior to playing tennis). Again, highly recommended!

Jeremy is a wonderful acupuncturist. He went above and beyond to tailor an approach to help with my symptoms that went beyond the work in sessions. I also love that he is now offering Community and Auricular Acupuncture, workshops and free meditation sessions!

Great place, very affordable and excellent acupuncturists. Everyone is really nice and they make you feel very comfortable. The location is also extremely convenient. I keep going back and its the only thing that seems to help relieve my seasonal allergies. Coming here is a very relaxing treat!

Really enjoyed going to transformational acupuncture. I have sciatica in my lower back and used acupuncture, cupping, and Chinese massage in order to support the healing process. Recommend this place to anyone healing with sports injuries that are muscular or neurological! I will be back!

I was treated by Joe. After multiple visits to the doctor and physical therapists due to lower back injury and PTSD, all I was left with was various toxic medications that didnt solve the issue. This was a challenging and scary moment for me. Joe to the rescue. After several treatments from Joe, the lower back pain not only diminished, the pain was completely eradicated. I am a true believer in alternative forms of healing. Also, working in an extreme high pressure work environment, the stress was taking its toll on me. Joe also taught me various methods to combat stress. His compassion, humbleness, calmness and excellent bedside manners, are just a few of his traits I look for in a doctor. Im a very satisfied client.

I highly recommend Transformational Acupuncture. All of the providers Ive seen (three in total) are good, but I prefer Jamee and have always had an excellent experience. I went for migraines, and I think the treatment I receive really helps.

The benefits of the Transformational Acupuncture clinic in general and ofpractitioner, Andrei Stoica in particular, are trulylife-changing. I am more physicallyadept and emotionally balanced. I now feeladequately equipped to face any challengelife may present.Rod Grigsby

I had my very 1st acupuncture experience this week! Not knowing what to expect, my experience was a very calming and relaxing. Thanks to Jeremy and his staff who were very professional and patient with me!I will be going back for additional treatments!

Transformational Acupuncture is fantastic. Ive seen them for insomnia, seasonal allergies, plus random colds etc. Theyre effective, very reasonably priced, and I always leave feeling better than when I came in.

I LOVE transformational acupuncture! Jeremy and Nadia are wonderful .. from the moment I walked into the office I knew I was in good hands.The best in DC !!!

I’ve had good experiences here with both Dr Adam and Dr Moon. Lots of appointments available, and I found the treatment to be effective. And they take insurance!

This place has a great vibe. Jamee and Joe are both amazing. I thoroughly enjoy blissing out for an hour of self-care during the week at this sanctuary of healing in the city.

Such an evangelist for this place. Theyve worked wonders on my aches and pains and boosted my energy levels in delightful ways. The staff is absolutely wonderful.Give it a try — do it.

My Name Is Kenture & I Am a Transgendered Person & I Find So Much Love, Peace & Help Everytime I Walk Through The Door......This Place Is Amazing Affortable & Just What I Needed In My Transition To Help Balance Out My Energy!

I’ve really enjoyed my sessions and feel much better!

Loved the place, Nadia is the sweetest person ever! Very relaxing environment and friendly staff!

The sessions have been effective and staff is very welcoming and attentive.

Such a wonderful, clean environment. They really care.

A great place, everyone is very professionnal. I totaly recommend this place.
