Amazing heart and skill. John identified an underlying cause to symptoms that seemed unrelated. And improved issues that I hadn’t realized I was having. A great East Bay resource for health and wellbeing. ❤️🌈💫

Awesome healing center for Chinese medicine. They specialize in sports medicine so if you have aches, pains and injuries, you should absolutely get a treatment here.

Couldn’t recommend the care, professionalism, and depth of expertise enough. Would encourage anyone suffering from an injury to seek treatment from Dr. Luna Sparks.

I always feel truly seen and cared for at White Magnolia, which has been rare in my healthcare experiences! I came for a sports injury, which is now all better, and kept coming back for other sports injuries, help with digestive issues and better sleep. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.
