"Ronit is an outstanding
acupuncturist who provides professional level service, with customized courses of treatment,
expert knowledge, excellent follow up care with a personal interest in your case. She was
able to improve pain, feeling and circulation in an injury that was more than 10 years old
in a very short period of time.
Her services are an excellent value. I have recommended her
services to anyone looking for a great acupuncturist."
"My first acupuncture
treatment with Ronit was in her office. I found it very helpful
for my allergies.
When I started feeling pain and loss of mobility in my shoulder
(too much time on the computer), I was very pleased that she had
created Community Acupuncture of Marin. It was much more convenient and less
expensive than private acupuncture. It is still a quiet, restful
environment, and her excellent skills are still fully focused on
my treatment. From the initial insertion of the needles, I felt
the pain greatly reduced, and my range of motion much improved.
I only needed a few sessions to feel fully recovered.
I have recommended Community Acupuncture of Marin to many of my
friends."
"I have been amazed and delighted at how my shoulder,
neck and upper back have responded to your healing work. ALL the crunching and popping in my neck is gone.
I attribute that to your "touch" with the needles.
I would recommend you to anyone seeking acupuncture. I consider my results nothing short of miraculous.
That neck issue had been
going on for about a year. My chiropractor's opinion was 'get an MRI, you probably have arthritis and bone spurs.' I can't tell
you how happy I am to have no more popping or pain in my neck . . . without spending money on an MRI or other interventions that
would not have resolved the issue.
You have designed a wonderful business model, and your care for the people you treat is very apparent. Blessings flow out . . .
blessings flow in!

"I went
to Ronit with some foot pain I was having and I was amazed at the
results from just one acupuncture treatment. I walked out of there with
virtually no pain, so needless to say, I was happy I went to her. I have had
subsequent treatments and she is thorough, comprehensive and looked at the whole
picture, including my diet.
"About 17 years ago I had two accidents resulting in knee injuries,
but am very much opposed to surgery as the answer. The knee that
was most severely injured started bothering me again about two
months ago. I am a big believer in chiropractic
work but had never tried acupuncture, so thought, why not give
it a try. I was truly amazed that after my first session the knee
was 80% better and the knee continued to get better with each
session. After five sessions, the knee was 100% better and I have
not had any reoccurrence of problems. Ronit does not do "cookie
cutter" acupuncture but rather assesses the situation each session
and adjusts her treatment accordingly. She also has a very gentle
and caring way about her."
"Ronit is a knowledgeable
and caring acupuncturist whose heart is always 110% in her healing work. If you have
concerns about needles she is the person for you with her explanations of what is going
on plus a feather-light touch. I highly recommend her."
"Ronit, thank you so much for
my first acupuncture experience. It was enlightening and so very successful!
It's been
three months and my back feels completely healed. Not having much experience with acupuncture,
it seemed strange to think that I could heal a twenty year old "twinge" in my back with only 2
treatment sessions and the physical therapy exercises that you helped me define. But here I am
hiking, kick boxing, and feeling like my old self again!
In addition, your recommendations on
herbal treatments for my ADHD have proven very effective. Your patience, combined with your deep
knowledge and trust in your intuition have made a positive impact on issues which have nagged me
for years, and have granted me a greater quality of life. Thank you!"

"I had incurred
a severe hit to my elbow several years ago that damaged the bone
and tendons that connect my fingers to my elbow. All non-invasive
treatments were ineffective, so I resorted to surgery, which helped
to some degree, but did not heal well.
I wish I had tried acupuncture before the surgery.
I didn't notice great improvement until about the third treatment
when my persistent elbow pain began to diminish. She had also
prescribed a special blend of herbs that are intended to supplement
and enhance the treatments. After about seven treatments my pain
was almost completely gone.
I also had problems with daily headaches for over a year that
I could not completely eliminate. I had determined I had food
intolerance to certain foods and had eliminated those foods, bringing
some relief, but I still had headaches. Ronit again took the time
to look for a root cause and with her guidance determined that
I was allergic to Oranges and O.J., of which I had a big glass
every morning.
All in all I am very happy with the help Ronit has given me through
her expertise in acupuncture, her knowledge of herbs and non-traditional
treatments and with her compassion and sincere desire to help.
Thank you Ronit."

"Ronit, it
all started 4 years ago when my right knee was hurting so bad
I could barely walk and you fixed it. When my back was hurting,
you put needles here and there and the pain was gone. Last
week, I described my symptoms of a cold and you gave me some herbs
that made me get back to normal health in 3 days. I would not
let another put a needle in me. Thanks."
"I have been seeing Ronit since the Fall
of 2007 for wellness & life coaching. I was introduced by a coworker who has been a long-time client of hers.
My main concern in meeting Ronit was to address anxiety issues that I have suffered long since my early teens.
I tried pharmaceuticals and traditional therapy, but never felt those approaches were beneficial to me.
This January I had the opportunity to attend an amazing event in San Diego featuring several of the authors from the book,
"The Secret", along with Tony Robbins and other motivational speakers. The title of the event was, "The Secret to Having
Your Best Year Ever" (which coindicentally Ronit and I had already decided that we would work together to make 2008 my best
year ever). Halfway through the event, I realized that this blend of various speakers, who bring healing through personal
empowerment, spirituality, and affirmative prayer, I already had with Ronit! I thought, 'Oh my gosh, Ronit brings each of
these talents to me, all in one person!'
I believe that Ronit is guiding me to "the secret" within myself, with warmth,
patience and understanding, with a healthy balance of knowledge, experience, common sense, and true spirit. I feel blessed
to be working with Ronit.
"
"I have been
working with Ronit Gesundheit off and on for four years. She has
helped me find solutions to physical problems with PMS, stress,
food allergies, and some leg pain through acupuncture and Chinese
herbs. In each instance, Ronit provided treatments that resolved the issues.
We also discussed the root or origins of the ailments and she helped
me make adjustments in lifestyle and thinking through healthier
food choices, exercise, and attitude.
Ronit's knowledge and
expertise in Chinese herbal and acupuncture medicine, other healing
methods, and her deep, intuitive understanding of the human psyche
and what throws us off balance combine to create a really ‘whole’
approach to addressing personal and physical maladies. I highly
recommend her.
Ronit is also insightful about communication issues and the patterns
people develop. She has helped me see my actions from another perspective
and has helped me understand how my choices are affecting my life
from a more spiritual point of view.."
"Ronit is great, she
is very talented and I enjoyed working with her very much. She helped me through
some tough times and tough blocks. Her compassion is deep, her skill is honed and
she has the ability to bring the truth to light, challenging as that may be, with
love and creativity."
"I found myself
in the hospital several times with what seemed like acute kidney
infections. I had all the symptoms but my kidneys always checked
out fine. I was fed up, after 5 years of different tests and too
many antibiotics, I decided to pursue an alternative approach.
Ronit was highly recommended to me by a good friend (who is also
a nurse) so I crossed my fingers and made an appointment. WOW!
I was so happy to have someone sit and listen to my health story
coupled with my life's experiences to aide in diagnosis. Ronit's
approach was refreshing and highly effective. We discovered that
what I actually had was an allergy to dairy and sugar and
I haven't had any of the original symptoms since.
But my visits didn't end there, Ronit has continued to aide in
my healing whether it is as an acupunturist, counselor, pilates
instructor or spiritual guide. Ronit is a healer of the mind,
body, and soul and this soul is blessed to have her in my life.
Thank you Ronit!"
"Ronit provides her services by listening to the patient
and then using her knowledge in acupuncture, herbal medicine and
other disciplines to determine a course of action. As such, she
is not one-dimensional in her thinking. It is because of this that
she has great success with her patients."
"I have
been receiving regular acupuncture treatments from Ronit for several
months. In addition, she guides me on "Journeys". I began my work
with her out of pure curiosity. I find Ronit to be amazingly intuitive,
knowledgeable, skilled, and "in-the-moment" during my sessions.
She has awakened new vistas within my perceptions, and gently
challenges me to gaze inwards and outwards - with reverence and
attention. Plain and simple, Ronit is a healer, and she has the
ability to awaken the healer which resides within all of us.
With thanks."
"Ronit, when
I first came to see you I was suffering with lots of health problems
(back and neck pain, headaches, chronic yeast infections, heartburn,
and anxiety). The western medical doctors had prescribed medications
for each individual symptom but I really didn't want to be on
so many drugs. You were able to get to the root of the problem
naturally, and in a short time. The acupuncture quickly relieved
my pain, and the herbs and vitamins I now take have me feeling
much better. From now on instead of calling Kaiser when I have
a problem I will call you instead! Thanks for all your help."
"Ronit, after
waiting 11 years to truly commit to trying complementary and alternative
medicine to treat my Multiple Sclerosis, I am so glad I did and
wonder why I waited so long. I had no idea that I had food allergies
and am amazed how quickly my vision improved after quitting
the foods I was allergic to. Thank you also for my vitamin and
supplement plan. You are very knowledgeable and always take the
time to research new things that might help me. I would not have
known any of what I am doing on my own, so thanks."
"Thank you
Ronit for curing me of my chronic suffering from my IBS problem
brought on by living in Thailand. Literally in one session and
adhering to your regime of herbs for 2 weeks I was magically cured!
Being in the health field I can't believe I allowed myself to
suffer unecessarily for so long! I've been to a lot of TCM practioners
both locally and all over the world and you're the first person
to read me (my qi) so accurately. I thank you for your intuitive
nature, talent and integrity!"
Christina G., Massage Therapist, Yoga & Pilates Instructor, San
Rafael, CA
"Ronit, you
are a saint. Thanks so much for helping me to finally quit smoking
and getting off my nightly addiction to Xanax. The combination
of acupuncture, herbs, tea and supplements made all the difference.
And you know I was cynical and skeptical going in. Now I believe!"
