I\'ve been seeing Janet for almost 2 years now and this is my first review. If you are looking for an acupuncturist, you should know that Janet is truly a healer in every sense of the word. I came to her for assistance with back pain and related issues. Together we worked on the root of the problems to address the pain. Janet also provided me respiratory relief that I was unable to get through Western medicine. I now consult with her on a routine basis for preventative medicine and even though I have moved to the East Bay, I still make the trek into San Francisco because I think so highly of her. For more than 30 years I suffered from seasonal allergies that forced me to take allergy medications on and off year-round. I am happy to report that after my treatments with Janet - I\'ve now been over a year without allergy medications and feel healthier than ever. Through our discussions about health, stress and nutrition, I also have a better understanding of my own body. I highly recommend Janet to anyone that is looking for a healer to help them address specific health issues and generally become more knowledgeable about their body and health.

I have been a patient of DIWA acupuncture for a year and a half. I first came to DIWA via Groupon back in 2010 and have been coming back ever since. Janet Co, and the treatments that I\'ve been receiving have been amazing! I was not very familiar with acupuncture or Chinese medicine when I first starting coming to DIWA. Since then, I have learned so much from Janet. She is extremely knowledgeable in the many modalities of Chinese medicine. She also immediately put me at ease with her attentive, down-to-earth, calm manner... plus she makes me laugh! Janet always checks in with me at the beginning of my visit and before suggesting treatment, she\'s always very conscious of asking about my comfort level related to treatment options. She has been working with me on an individualized wellness plan and has helped me with ongoing anxiety, allergy testing and treatment, and right now my wellness plan includes acupuncture, acupressure and Chinese herbs. When I leave my appointments, I always feel an immediate sense of calm. I\'ve also sent my aunt to DIWA for treatment for chronic pain due to Fibromyalgia. For my aunt, this was her first experience with Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and she loves Janet! It\'s also been a blessing that she\'s been so flexible with my crazy schedule - I do lunch time appointments. Her location is perfect -- right off of muni and BART, at Market and Powell - super easy to get to! To sum it up, I feel really lucky that I found DIWA. Janet is fantastic! She\'s patient, attentive and the upmost professional. I trust her completely when it comes to mine and my friend\'s and family\'s health and well-being. I highly recommend Janet Co and DIWA Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring health professional.

I started going to Diwa in May to be treated for insomnia caused by anxiety. Janet is great and took the time to listen to my ailments and provide a treatment plan. She has a great energy about her which helps me to feel calm and relaxed everytime I come for treatment. I responded very well to accupunture and my symptoms subsided in about 6 weeks. I continued treatment every few weeks for maintenance which helps me feel balanced and refreshed. Janet was also very understanding and patient as we tried to work out issues with my insurance. I would recommend Janet in a heartbeat to anyone looking for great alternatives to western medicine. Cheers!

I went to see Janet after suffering chronic headaches for years and relying on the OTC headache/pain relievers. I really wanted to try something to help the pain so I no longer needed to take medication.

I\'ve been seeing Janet for almost a year. I\'ve never done acupuncture before and I was open to try alternative medicine. Janet listened to my feminine issues and got me to where I wanted to be.
