Healing Sanctuary RSF - Rancho Santa Fe, California

Healing Sanctuary RSF is a very special place. Let's start at table stakes. There are a lot of places that you could go to get this kind of treatment. Some care and some are in a business that focuses on getting people in just to fill their quota. My personal experience has been that HS is in business of the caring part but with a side note. The knowledge they have and the amount of time they have spent to understand their craft is next to none. I'm talking about a phd X 10.

Let' talk about the knowledge part which I think is a major differentiator. I'm a lifelong learner and like to understand everything I do or take part of, so I'm always asking questions. Chelsie, who I have had my treatments with is incredibly well versed in what she does. Not only does she understand the why, which is important but she has taken the time to truly understand the aspects that would normally be overlooked or simply not addressed.

During my first treatment I outlined the issues I had. Hyper extended finger, bad knees and sore muscles. I've been to hundreds of massage therapists and outlined similar issues and this is the first time I can say those issues were completely fixed. Again this comes down to a true understanding of how our bodies, tendons and muscles all interact but also something beyond that.

Every session has been amazing and I can't recommend them enough!!!

After seeing a physical therapist for over a year, I went to Chelsie for prolonged back pain. Her integrative approach to healing using acupuncture, cupping and massage have changed my life!

Chelsie is a wonderfully gifted intuitive healer! She has not only cured my back pain, but reduced my hot flashes, helped resolve knee pain and even transformed my skin through micro-needling! She is an incredible listener that asked thorough questions in order to create a treatment plan specific to my needs. Not only do I trust her with my own health, my sons have also seen her for various sports injuries.

Chelsie greets me with a smile and a hug. The next day she checks in to see how I’m feeling. She is TRULY passionate and genuinely concerned about my health. I leave feeling relaxed and like a new person. I am so blessed to have her in my life!

Chelsie is a skilled acupuncturist with a great personality. You can always rely on her professionalism, expertise, and care for her patience. After her initial counseling session she'll outline a plan to address your health concerns, and she'll continuously inquire about your health status onwards so that the quality of your sessions are never compromised. Also her clever remarks with their roots in Chinese medicine provide a refreshing new way to learn about the inner workings of your body. I'm very satisfied with my experience at Acupuncture RSF, and strongly recommend it to anyone seeking such service.

I first went to Chelsie for help with my allergies to various environmental elements; I have been dealing with these since I was a child and some of my worst allergy attacks leave me sick and weak. I was nervous about going to acupuncture because I was uncertain about needles and if it would hurt, but my sister had been a long time patient for a sports injury and encouraged me to go. From the start, Chelsie was patient and gentle. She spent time asking me about all of my symptoms so she could develop the best treatment plan. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that acupuncture does not hurt, and was even relaxing! With Chelsie’s acupuncture treatments, and some suggested herbs and natural ointments from her, my allergy symptoms have become much better and I have not had a serious attack since I began treatment.
I have since continued going to Chelsie for other problems; this has really helped me with my anxiety, frequent nightmares, back pain, digestion problems, and low energy. She really does do it all! Chelsie exudes calmness and care and she is always so focused on helping my physical and emotional health when I come for an appointment...her care is part of what helps me feel better!

I was referred to Chelsie Black from a friend for a debilitating neck and shoulder injury plus myofascial pain syndrome that had been causing me pain for 9 months and left me with muscle spasms, tingling down my back and arms, fiery burning pain in my traps and neck, and many sleepless nights. I was apprehensive to try acupuncture again because of a bad experience I had in the past, but man am I grateful I found Chelsie. She made me feel so comfortable and calm during every treatment. She is SO knowledgeable and very experienced. After only a couple treatments I started to see obvious results of healing and less and less days encompassed by pain. Chelsie treated my deficient blood, digestive problems, sleep problems, and TMJ in every treatment as well. Not only does she do regular acupuncture, she does a little bit of massage, cupping, and facial cupping for every treatment. If you are looking for the best acupuncturist in San Diego, I highly recommend Chelsie Black at Acupuncture RSF. You will get quality results! You will not be disappointed!

I can't say enough positive things about Healing Sanctuary RSF. I came in for an acupuncture appointment without evening knowing what I really needed to be seen for. I am a new mom and have been having problems with lactation. Chelsie suggested I consider getting treated to promote milk production. I had no idea it could be done and would have never thought of being seen for lactation concerns. She was so professional and knew exactly what I needed. She helped me relax and feel so comfortable. I walked out of my appointment with a sense of ease. The next day (within 12 hours) I had doubled my milk production. I was completely amazed. I will definitely be coming back and I recommend acupuncture for any new moms dealing with lactation problems.

I love Chelsie. I have been going to her for over a year and she has helped my pains so much. Started with her having lower back pains, shoulder pains and side pains. All gone now. You can tell she loves what she’s doing and she’s so knowledgeable and ready to help. She really cares about making her patients feel better.
