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 temporary hiatus for acupuncture sessions thus far during the pandemic, which meant saying goodbye to our office location of the last 10 years.

NEW UPDATE FROM MELISSA: My search for a new location has been interesting and informative, there are many spaces out there on the island, and I am confident I will be able to find a private office, not one shared with other practitioners as before. However, the sudden spike in the delta variant has put this search on hold. I am happy to provide referrals to other local acupuncturists whose practices are open. I look forward to reconnecting with my community and providing quality care for your health needs, hopefully soon! I urge everyone to get vaccinated, and wear your masks when gathering!

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 an N95 mask and face shield, and face coverings will be required for all patients. No exceptions. Melissa is fully vaccinated. 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! We love you!
