Island Acupuncture / Tracy Zollinger L.Ac. — Local services in Alameda

Tracy is fantastic, for so many reasons! I came to Island Acupuncture for fertility support, once we decided to expand our family with baby #2. I had never gotten acupuncture before, and I'm so grateful to have found Tracy. It took us 7 months to conceive our first child (within average but still grueling!), so at the young age of 36 I wanted to do all I could to improve our chances with baby #2. So to Island Acupuncture I went!

Long story short - We got pregnant on our very first try! I started weekly sessions with Tracy about 3 months before we planned to start trying, to prepare my body for a healthy conception and pregnancy. We weren't expecting it to happen right away, but we conceived on our first attempt after 3 months of treatment! I'm now 24 weeks along and have since moved away from Alameda, but I definitely would have continued with Tracy through the pregnancy if I could.

In addition to acupuncture, I got so much more than I expected out of the experience. Tracy demonstrates such kindness and empathy in her treatment, seeking to understand not only your physical needs/concerns but also the emotional side. She takes time to help you understand what she's doing and why, and went above and beyond to advise on my holistic fertility journey - not just the acupuncture and herbal supplements she provided. She recommended a free fertility app to track temperature, ovulation, and menstrual symptoms, and took time before each session to review that week's chart and help me better understand my own reproductive system. I also appreciate that she never claimed her tools were the definitive answer to fertility - she was honest and research-driven in her approach, often explaining that these were simply drops in a larger bucket, contributing to a healthier reproductive cycle. She's a kind and brilliant practitioner and I cannot...

If you're looking for the best acupuncturist on the island, look no further than Tracy from Island Acupuncture! Seriously, she's a gem and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment you walk into her clean and comfortable facility, you know you're in good hands. There's ample parking, which is always a plus.

Tracy is incredibly knowledgeable and empathetic. She truly takes the time to listen intently to your health concerns before crafting a personalized treatment plan. You never feel rushed, and it's clear she genuinely cares about your well-being. During your session, she goes above and beyond to make you comfortable, offering a blanket, heat lamp, and soothing music.

Her flexibility with appointments is fantastic, though her schedule does fill up quickly – a testament to how amazing she is! I once had a really severe case of vertigo, and Tracy was able to diagnose and provide immediate relief, which was truly remarkable. I've never encountered a service provider who is as caring and attentive, especially when you're not feeling your best. She even allows patients to text her with questions anytime and is always quick to respond. The level of care she provides feels more like a close friend or family member, and that's something truly special.

I'm incredibly grateful to have found Tracy and Island Acupuncture. If you're seeking an acupuncturist who is not only highly skilled but also deeply compassionate, Tracy is absolutely...

A week ago today I met Tracy by complete accident. I injured myself very badly, playing with my daughter at the park. I was laid up due to head and shoulder trauma. I knew what had happened to me was very serious. I took a chance at the more holistic approach to my pain and recovery. Tracy was hesitant at first to work on me, however I'm very thankful she did. Her treatment not only gave me a burst of energy, that I didn't think was possible. She also, helped me emotionally try to process where I was in the healing stage and how long it can take for my traumatic situation to heal. I felt very blessed to have ended up in her care. I did a google search and five other names came up before hers. I called everyone in order and she was the only person to actually answer her phone. And she worked her magic to get me in that day. While I was on her table she called several places trying to get me in for an X-ray or CT scan. She even offered to drive me. She also knew I was here on vacation with my 2 year old and there was no way I was going to care for my child by myself, so she called around to help me connect with a baby sitter. What an amazing woman. Thank you God for...
