Testimonials

“When I was visiting the Bay Area recently, I found myself passing a kidney stone. Seeking relief from extreme pain, I scheduled a session with Dr. Stewart. The effect of her treatment was remarkable. I felt no pain of any kind, no discomfort in any form, for the next 48 hours. I could sleep without medication, and my body was able to rest deeply as it continued the work of expelling the foreign object. I've never experienced such instant & sustained pain relief when passing a stone. I would've scheduled a second session before traveling, if time had allowed. I passed the stone at home without medication the following week. Dr. Stewart is currently prescribing herbs to treat another stone and maintain my kidney health. She is artful in engaging the body's healing ability, and she has my unqualified recommendation as a health care practitioner.” AHL

"After many years of sports wear and tear, I developed an Achilles that was chronically stiff and painful, and that increasingly impeded my exercise for years. I felt as if I was literally dragging the foot along with me but I was determined to continue hiking the awesome Marin trails. Finally, after having to move at a snail’s pace and decrease the length and elevation of my hikes, I sought Dr. Stewart’s help and I am glad I did. Over the course of several sessions I was able to regain full elasticity in my Achilles and am back to hiking whenever and wherever I want. Hills and uneven terrain are no longer a problem and Mt. Tam looks more glorious than ever again! Thank you Erin!"

"As a personal trainer, I’m pretty knowledgeable about the body, not only in regard to strength (or lack of), but also when it comes to injuries. I’ve definitely had my share and have tried quite a few different healing modalities in the past (including acupuncture). Most recently, I’ve been dealing with a stubborn radial nerve impingement affecting my entire left arm. I initially tried sessions of bodywork and chiropractic treatment in hopes to resolve the issue, but progress was really slow. Motivated for a quicker recovery, I decided to try acupuncture again and sought the expertise of Dr. Stewart. Dr. Stewart laid out a plan for treatment and in just a few thorough sessions, I noticed how well my body responded. Throughout this process, she was able to resolve the nerve impingement, as well as chronic neck pain I’ve dealt with for years. With all this success, I’ve continued to work with her to address other issues as well, such as TMJ and back pain. As a professional in the health and wellness space, I highly recommend Dr. Stewart’s practice and have so much gratitude for being able to experience her healing touch. Her kind, empathetic, and intuitive nature is truly complementary to her knowledge, approach, and skill as a doctor of acupuncture. She holds a permanent spot in my network of healers for both myself and my clients. One can only hope there will be more practitioners in this world just like her." JR

"I've been recovering from two hip surgeries this year and hit a point in my recovery where the tightness and stiffness seemed to be getting worse. Erin provided substantial relief after just one acupuncture treatment. She is very skilled, professional, and thoughtful, and she provides an extremely relaxing atmosphere. I've continued the treatments beyond just my hips and have been seeing major benefits relieving other lingering pain in my feet, shoulders, neck, etc. Highly recommend Erin - she is exceptional!" SK

"Dr. Erin Stewart is the only practitioner that has provided measurable relief to my chronic pain condition - both immediate relief and sustained. I feel hopeful for the first time in years that my condition is curable with the proper acupuncture treatments along with my other physical therapy. I feel very well taken care of in her hands. Highly recommend." AB

I highly recommend Erin, her technique is sound and her manner is warm and inviting. I look forward to continuing treatment for other needs." KO

"Dr. Stewart is a truly gifted acupuncturist. She has helped me with several medical issues including GERD that were not responding well to medication. She is also just a lovely person and easy to talk with. I highly recommend her!" ML

"Erin is a master at her craft. I’ve seen her now a handful of times for relief of pain in my Achilles. After every session, the pain lessens and I feel overall relaxed. Thank you!" EO

"Erin is a magician of sorts. Our acupuncture session left me with a calmness that I can compare to when I have come out after a rowdy surf session. A true peace, at land, in ease. It was as if she had fine tuned my body, like a magnificent piano-tuner, revealing the natural state of flow that my body can attain with proper care. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine and local plants have helped me jumpstart my wellness into a state of being that I have been looking for for many years.” GG

"I highly recommend Erin as an exceptional acupuncturist. I have personally had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Erin after the race and I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and skill in the field of acupuncture. From the moment I spoke to her after the race, I felt welcomed and at ease. They took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, ensuring that the treatment plan was tailored to my specific needs. Give her a visit, and I am confident that you will be in excellent hands."

"I highly recommend Dr. E for expertise in acupuncture, acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I’m being successfully treated for lower back pain after surgery and peripheral neuropathy. Erin is a keen listener, calm and kind. She leaves you feeling relaxed, improved and ready to go!" RS

“Came into Alamere Acupuncture because of a sports injury: soreness in my hamstring. As a distance runner, I was concerned about this getting worse and impacting my ability to continue training. Dr. Erin was highly knowledgeable and was able to assess tight points both in my hamstring and other muscle groups. This was my first time seeking out acupuncture and I was amazed at how effective it was. After the needling, the soreness in my muscles felt relieved and my legs felt more recovered than what I can typically achieve by rest and stretching alone. I know many people who have not tried acupuncture are concerned that the needles would hurt, but it was not painful at all. Furthermore, the environment was very peaceful and relaxing, I left feeling deeply tranquil. I would highly recommend Alamere Acupuncture to others managing sports injuries or looking for additional tools to aid in post workout recovery.” JL

“Erin is my go-to acupuncturist when I seek out treatments in Marin. Her new space is a little sanctuary tucked away off Miller. As soon as I stepped in the door, I could feel my body relax. Erin is such a gifted healer, every time I go to her I leave feeling better. Today I walked in with acute neck pain, when the session was over it was gone. Thank you, Erin!” KL

“I cannot recommend Erin and Alamere Acupuncture enough! Erin is incredibly thoughtful and always takes the time to really listen to my concerns. She tailors each treatment to what I need in that moment, and always knows exactly how to support my body. Her approach is both grounding and healing, physically and emotionally. She melts away the tension in my shoulders and helps me leave each session feeling calm, clear, and balanced.

The space she’s created is incredibly calming and filled with such good energy. I make the trip from the East Bay to see Erin, and it’s 100% worth it every time. I highly recommend Alamere Acupuncture to everyone!” CA

“Erin at Almere Acupuncture is far beyond a typical acupuncturist. She has a rare gift, not only for helping with physical pain, but for creating a space where real healing can happen on a much deeper level.

From my very first session, I could tell this was different. I came in carrying so much pent-up stress and emotional weight that I ended up crying through most of the treatment, not because of discomfort, but because I finally felt safe enough to release it. I barely felt the needles at all. What I felt was a profound sense of calm, relief, and emotional release that I did not even realize I needed.

Erin has an incredibly grounding, compassionate presence. She radiates warmth, kindness, and empathy, and that energy carries into every treatment. After seeing her, I feel lighter, more centered, and physically better.

I have referred many friends to her, and every single one has thanked me. Without exception, they’ve come away feeling helped, supported, and genuinely better, both physically and emotionally.

It is hard to explain exactly what makes Erin so special, because it goes beyond technique. She is deeply intuitive, deeply caring, and truly exceptional at what she does. If you have the chance to work with her, take it.” LM

“I woke up with a stiff neck, unable to turn my head. I was in Mill Valley for a wedding and needed relief fast. One hour with Erin completely turned around my weekend. She knew exactly how to deal with my discomfort and tailored my treatment with precision. She is a talented healer and practitioner.”
