Welcome to Heavenly Stems Acupuncture! Melissa Margolis L.Ac. MSTCM is a licensed acupuncturist in practice since 2005. We offer an array of services including acupuncture, cupping, and herbal formulas.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Heavenly Stems Acupuncture has been on hiatus for acupuncture sessions thus far during the pandemic, which meant saying to our office location of the last 10 years.

NEW UPDATE FROM MELISSA: I have begun searching for a new office location on the island of Alameda to resume practicing in person. Location and Opening Date TBD, estimated sometime in mid-spring of 2021. I look forward to reconnecting with my community and providing quality care for your health needs!

Upon reopening, full Covid precautions will be taken for as long as is recommended by infectious disease experts, including pre-screening for respiratory symptoms, use of HEPA air purifiers, increased time between patients for room cleaning. Melissa will use a KN95 mask and face shield, and face coverings will be required for all patients. No exceptions. We are thankful to the scientists and epidemiologists who have provided so much hard work and expertise to control the pandemic, and we will continue to follow their guidelines for safety.

All insurance networks and out-of-pocket fees will remain the same as before. Thank you Alameda for your support all these years, since 2008!
