Mama Lounge SF

I had the most amazing experience with Amy. I had never done acupuncture and honestly I never thought I would even try it. But being 4 months pregnant with sciatica, I needed some relief. Luckily I found Mama Lounge and after 2 sessions I felt like a new person. Amy was so caring and attentive. She made me feel so comfortable! Im so thankful for her and I plan on being back throughout my pregnancy!

I am a mom of two and like most moms prioritizing myself and my health is hard. I had a very rough October hormonally and I knew if I wanted to be the best mom and wife I could be that I needed to get some help.I started seeing Amy at Mama Lounge every week for acupuncture and what a difference it has made in my life. I feel more in tune with my core and self now - my kids are still my first priority but I also understand and prioritize the need for self care.What I get at Mama Lounge is a female-centric, understanding and empathetic approach. They give you time to vent and they listen well, and in the end really, really help. Plus their admin process is easy, the treatments are affordable and they are super organized. Every moms dream.

Mama Lounge is the place to go for any mommy in the planning stages, pregnant, or after! I saw Amy for fertility and pregnancy treatments, and Im honestly not sure if I would have gotten pregnant without her help along the way. She and her team really take the time to understand your needs, to understand your body, and to treat you. The environment is warm and friendly, while also calming and relaxing, and I found it well worth the 45 minute drive each way to see them!

Mama Lounge provides a very relaxing environment. I had never done acupuncture until ML and I have loved every session. Amy is always very attentive and provides great feedback/advice. Give them a try if youre struggling with infertility!

I love the team at Mama Lounge. I discovered them while overdue with my first and while acupuncture didnt coax him out (nothing would!), I was eager to start earlier with my second pregnancy. Rachel has helped me tremendously through several hormonal issues that have come up this time around and I always feel a million times better when I walk out of there. The Mama Lounge team is a great partner to have through pregnancy!

What a special place this is! The moment you walk through the door you know youve entered a space of support, respect and healing. I chose Mama Lounge for their deep commitment to womens health. This is a space where you will be truly listened to - it seems like a minor detail but we all know what it is like to be shuffled through modern medical offices. Amy is gentle, understanding and has the best laugh! I have seen both her and Anne guide and support so many women in issues of hormones, fertility, prenatal and postpartum care. Before going to Mama Lounge I had never tried acupuncture - in fact I was a bit skeptical and nervous. But now I have experienced and felt the very real difference it makes. Plus the massages at Mama Lounge are seriously amazing! If you are a woman interested in taking control of your health and wellbeing and doing so in a supportive and healing environment then Mama Lounge is the place for you.

Im a big fan of Mama Lounge. I have enjoyed prenatal massage with Katie Sutherland, prenatal acupuncture to help encourage labor post-due date (with both Amy and Stephanie), and now most recently post-partum massage with Jill. Each one of my services has been incredibly relaxing as Mama Lounge provides both the calming expertise around childbirth and the welcoming environment to feel nurtured and cared for. My baby is now two months old, and I continue to take advantage of the services that Mama Lounge offers!

Mama Lounge is a wonderful sanctuary! I found this practice from a google search, 3 weeks before my due date when I found out my baby was in breech position, and I was desperately trying to encourage him to turn. I came in for acupuncture and moxa sessions with Amy and Anne, and found them both to be incredibly compassionate, warm and, most importantly, skilled.While my baby did not end up turning, the acupuncture sessions and, lets face it, gentle therapy/coaching from Amy and Anne, helped me relax and find acceptance of whichever direction my birth story would go. I believe I was better prepared for birth because of my last minute sessions here; even after just one appointment. I am so grateful for having found Mama Lounge.Making appointments is easy, and they will work with you to get you in when you need to be there. Whether you are looking for fertility assistance, prenatal care, or just an acupuncture practice that is focussed on compassionate care for women, Mama Lounge is your place.

I love seeing Melani! I never tried acupuncture prior to coming to Mama Lounge, but their entire staff makes you feel very welcome and their space is always clean and peaceful. After describing my situation to Melani, she takes your pulse, checks your tongue and explains every step of the way. She went straight to work in placing the needles around my abs the first visit and my back the second. She also prescribed herb tincture, it doesnt taste great, but I can feel that its working. Thank you Melani!

I did eight rounds of acupuncture with Melani while preparing for an IVF cycle. She is one of the smartest, kindest, most knowledgeable professionals Ive ever encountered in any industry. Not only did she listen patiently and compassionately whenever we checked in about my physical and mental well-being, but she also added a much-needed dose of levity to every appointment. She was also always gentle and thoughtful about needle placement, so I never had any physical discomfort during the actual acupuncture process. Thanks to Melani, I felt encouraged, heard, and nurtured during a very stressful time in my life. I cant recommend her and Mama Lounge in general highly enough.

I received an acupuncture treatment at the Mama Lounge in hopes of having my baby promptly at the 40 week mark. The staff was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. After my first treatment, I got cramps and by Wednesday was in labor! My baby girl was born on her due date. These ladies are either magicians or my baby girl is just as punctual as her mom.

There is not enough gratitude for Mama Lounge and the beautiful, supportive community that Amy has created. Melani is my acupuncturist, but I have seen Amy as well and they are both expert practitioners. Melani has a depth of knowledge and a warm, compassionate approach. No matter who you see at Mama Lounge you are in great hands.

Mama Lounge is a calming sanctuary for all mamas and mamas-to be. All of the women here are warm, welcoming, and make you feel at ease. I started coming around 35 weeks for acupuncture and its been so helpful in relaxing my body and mind in preparation for birth. I plan to continue coming after baby as well!

Mama Lounge has been a critical resource for my pregnancy. Ive been going for acupuncture weekly then monthly starting around 8 weeks. Its helped to greatly reduce headaches, morning sickness, pains, and when Ive been stressed its recentered me so I can have a good healthy pregnancy. I still have a few months to go and I plan to continue treatments there until I deliver. I think its been worth every penny and has done more for me than I had expected. On top of that, its a clean environment and everyone Ive worked with there has been extremely nice. The entire experience has felt personal and Im greatful I found Mama Lounge!

I dont know what Ill do without Mama Lounge. I discovered them randomly in 2018 as I was looking to do some acupuncture to put my body and energy back on track (after going through an important liver surgery), and with the desire of having a baby. I was amazed by the serenity of the place, and I immediately felt welcomed, relaxed and at ease. Melani is a wonderful acupuncturer, and a great listener. I would recommend her to anyone. Also, every treatment she did on me, worked wonderfully. I used to go there once a week for my me moment and relaxation time. This is my oasis of calm and serenity. Since I had my baby, I still manage to go once a month, and have been amazed by how well they adapted to this new covid era. Everything is clean, sanitized, we wear masks and use hydroalcoholic gel, so overall it always felt very safe. Thank you to the Mama Lounge team!

Amy Gordon at Mama Lounge SF is an excellent acupuncturist. I have been receiving treatment by her throughout my last trimester with optimal results; I was concerned about baby coming early but here I am now at 39 weeks and doing very well, Ive had decreased swelling in my feet and ankles, baby was breech and he did flip head down (yay), and she greatly reduced back discomfort I was experiencing due to scoliosis. I am very happy to know I can continue postpartum treatment with her as needed -- its very reassuring. Bonuses are that the office is spotless and beautiful, parking has been easy and the administrative staff is warm and professional plus you get auto-email appointment reminders. Couldnt ask for anything more.

Most simply, Im just so damn glad this place exists. The world needs more of these kinds of mindful, loving, aesthetically pleasing healing centers. Brava, Amy and the entire staff!Amy is a true healer with a comprehensive understanding of the realities of modern life. I saw her for an overall health boost (not related to fertility) and felt oh so good and incredibly taken care of.Lisa is one of the absolute best massage therapists EVER. Anywhere. I adore her.I havent had the chance to work with everyone at Mama Lounge, but based on all my experiences there, theyre all sublime. Go… and Enjoy!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Melani during my first pregnancy. Its a weird time to be pregnant with Covid and the state of the country, but my experience at Mama Lounge was incredibly positive, comforting and memorable. First, I felt extremely safe in their space. It was clear they were taking every precaution during Covid to keep the space clean and keep their clients safe. Second, Melani was a great source of support during my pregnancy. She was extremely knowledgeable about every stage of pregnancy and the changes my body was going through. She treated me for an existing injury and also the many symptoms that come with being pregnant. I was able to go into delivery feeling comfortable and confident. I would highly recommend Melani and Mama Lounge!!

Im such a huge fan of Amy Gordon. For years Ive been sending my doula clients and prenatal yoga students to Amy and now as a mama myself Ive been seeing Amy throughout my pregnancy. She has helped so many of my doula mamas have smooth and efficient labors, find emotional peace, and work through physical challenges.Personally, before seeing Amy I tried acupuncture about 12 times with different practitioners and always found the sessions uncomfortable and often painful. Amy is so gentle and the sessions are always a pleasure. Her care has helped me stay balanced and healthy.Thank you Amy for all that you do to support mamas.PS: The new space is so lovely and Ive always found parking within a block or two for day time appointments.

I developed a skin condition during my pregnancy called PUPPS and the acupuncture that I got during and post pregnancy was fantastic! The owner Amy did my acupuncture a couple weeks after delivery and she was awesome! Very knowledgeable and helpful. My yoga instructor and friend Erica highly recommended this place and I would do the same for all mamas and expecting mamas!

I went to Mama Lounge for a Moxa treatment when I learned my baby was breech at 37 weeks. My OB recommended Mama Lounge to me and I had heard of them through my pre post natal trainer at The Lotus Method too.My experience and results were very good! While being treated with the moxa, I could feel baby moving very actively more than I had ever. And the take home instructions were relaxing and I supplemented it with spinning babies exercises. Im happy to report a successful flip! While I did do other activities too, I feel the treatment at Mama Lounge was helpful and the overall experience was relaxing and gave me an overall sense of wellness and balance. I plan to go back for post natal massage. Highly recommend!

I was recommended acupuncture at Mama Lounge SF by my doula when my water broke to induce labor. I had never experienced acupuncture before, but became a true believer when I started getting contractions an hour after my incredibly intense/relaxing acupuncture appointment and had my daughter 10 hours later. I returned several times after giving birth and met with Amy for acupuncture for sleep deprivation, breastmilk production and overall help with balancing crazy postpartum hormones. Prior to this experience, I had tried several different places for pre-natal massages and even a chiropracter, and I felt very uneasy at these places and not sure how much they really knew about the pregnant body. I felt completely comfortable and pampered at Mama lounge where they specialize in women and their individual needs. Im now pregnant with my second child, and look forward to going back soon!

Acupuncture wasnt my thing until I met Amy. Now Im a believer!When I told my OB about my plan to have an unmedicated birth, she immediately recommended two things: acupuncture and a doula. I found Mama Lounge on Yelp (and our doula through Mama Lounge), and was hooked from the moment I walked in the door. The vibe is just like a power yoga class... hippie healer meets the modern world.On my first visit, which was at 15 weeks, Amy took the time to get to know me, my health, and where I was at mentally and emotionally. Then she got to work.Over the course of my pregnancy, Amy continually checked in with every aspect of my well being, from aches and pains to the emotional roller coaster of pregnancy, then worked her magic with those needles until I felt centered again. I left every appointment feeling healed, blissed out, and invigorated.As if that werent enough, Amy made me feel like a part of her Mama community. She has a ton of resources and sage wisdom on all things natural pregnancy and birth.In the end, I was able to have an unmedicated birth at 40 weeks and 4 days. My only regret is that I didnt start with Amy sooner. (I bet she wouldve worked wonders on that first trimester morning sickness!) Next time... ;)I recommend Mama Lounge with my whole heart and soul. Go here!

Had a massage from ms.Jenny as one of the nicest treats ever. It was like whole body therapy. We first talked about the intake and my body situation, she mentioned the tools she had to work with and nurtured my body with deep tissue and some Cranio, great bedside manner. Some things I felt could use updating with the services are less pushing in making a schedule and letting my afterglow be without pressure for another appointment.I get that mama lounge is a rarity and gem in a culture so far removed from mother worship. I wish this kind of place were more common and in every house and corner!Big ups to the communal mama herb jar_diy teabags :-*

I’m SO glad I found Mama Lounge. They helped expedite my postpartum healing and provide a beautiful and relaxing space to retreat and rest. Everyone there is so nice and helpful, I look forward to my next visit as soon as I leave. Definitely highly recommend Mama Lounge for any and every stage of mamahood.

I adore MamaLounge. Melani is just wonderful and Im convinced she is the reason I didnt end up needing to use IVF to get pregnant. Since Ive used Melani, Ive referred 3 friends and theyve all become pregnant in short order! Outside of fertility, Melani worked with me on various aches and pains and always helped. My weekly sessions are relaxing and almost therapeutic.

When I started having trouble getting pregnant with my second child I knew Amy at Mama Lounge was the one to turn to. My first appointment was part answering a lot of questions and her reviewing my labs, part education and part therapy session. In the first 30 minutes she had taught me more about what was happening with my body, my PCOS condition, my hormones, etc. than my OB had over the past months. She has such a warm, calm, comforting demeanor and huge listening ear that I found myself immediately opening up about the fertility challenges I was facing and the emotional roller coaster that goes along with it.We started seeing each other weekly and I instantly started feeling the results of the acupuncture and herbal treatments. She truly healed me - I felt less anxious about the whole process, my hormones leveled out and she armed me with tons more knowledge. She also urged me to get more lab work done so that when I did get pregnant again (yay!) we knew my progesterone levels were low and I needed to take supplements to help keep the baby.My husband and I are SO incredibly grateful for her! 16 weeks pregnant and I know I wouldnt be here without her help. She is absolutely amazing.Oh and she thought I was having a boy... and she was right!

My experience at Mama Lounge has been excellent! Amy is very knowledgeable about womens health issues and hormone balancing. I love how informative the sessions are and how relaxed I feel afterwards. It is truly a special place.

Mama Lounge is such a wonderful place! From the moment you walk in you are greeted by name with a smile. The environment is so calm and relaxing. Amy has been wonderful and really takes the time to sit down and listen. She has such a calming and patient demeanor.

Amy Gordon is a gifted acupuncturist and a delightful person, too. Highly recommended!She has incredible knowledge of womens bodies and cycles -- I have learned so much from her. Plus shes encouraging, sensitive, and funny. I always looked forward to my appointments with Amy. Go!

A peaceful sanctuary in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the urban life, what San Franciscan does NOT need acupuncture as part of his/her preventive health regimen? Not to mention what an absolute *joy* it is to enter this beautiful and well-maintained space and work with any and all of the practitioners/staff at Mama Lounge. They are such an asset to our city! I have been working with Amy Gordon for about two years now on a regular basis. I did not enter into the world of Chinese Medicine with a specific ailment in tow... fertility issues... or hormonal imbalances-- all of which are great prompts to pursue this line of healing-- rather, I was looking to complement some of the other daily/weekly practices that are a part of my plan for optimal human functioning (e.g., yoga, cardiovascular exercise, massage, conscious dietary decisions) and achieving more balance and harmony within. I am keenly interested in preventive medicine, rather than waiting for a glaring or more intractable disease or constellation of symptoms to emerge. I have found Chinese medicine to be a nearly irreplaceable way of achieving this aim! Amy Gordon is an incredibly knowledgeable, warm, compassionate, and intuitive practitioner; more importantly, she is a TRUE HEALER. You will NOT be disappointed with this wise, loving Old Soul on your side, I can not recommend her highly enough!

Mama Lounge definitely deserves all 5 star ratings. It has a calming environment and an incredibly knowledgeable staff plus the online booking option makes scheduling super easy. Perfect for pregnancy, postpartum or ttc.

I have found the hairstyle goddess. Not only is Denise is amazing color and hair stylish, but her warm and positive energy, love of life, conversation, and learning, and her huge heart makes a hair appointment not only a feel good in my head, but a feel good because I’m spending it with a wonderful friend. It you are looking for a stylist, look no further than. Denise.

Had an acupuncture induction treatment here after my son was 5 days late...started to go into labor ~10 hours later! The staff here were super nice and professional. Would highly recommend going here for any induction/pre-labor support.

Amy is amazing! Coming here is the best part of my week. Its made such an impact on my overall health. The space is beautiful and calming and the practitioners are not only knowledgeable but they really care.

Talk about feeling safe, when I talk to Amy Gordon over at Mama Lounge SF about my health issues, I know she is listening. Womens health issues are so overwhelming and having someone such as Amy with so much patience and experience with fertility, and well womens health is simply a miracle! Thank you Amy.

Warm, nurturing acupuncture clinic for women dealing with pregnancy and fertility issues. Amy and Rachel are fantastic acupuncturists who deliver high quality, personalized care.

Fantastic resource. Rachel is an incredible acupuncturist and overall health mentor. Appointments are easy to make online. Relaxing and inviting space. Absolutely recommend!

I enjoy coming to mama lounge for its cozy atmosphere and cool mama vibe. I hope they start adding in more activities such as pre-natal yoga and meditation. I think it would fit very well in the community.

Mama Lounge has calm, serene vibes and very friendly staff. It has been a comfortable place for me to receive fertility support.

A tranquil setting with a truly wonderful Accupuncturist. It is hard to find someone better than Amy. I cannot recommend her highly enough. 👍❤️

Have only had one acupuncture session here so far but was REALLY impressed and happy with the whole experience. Great environment, friendly staff, and really knowledgeable and caring acupuncturist.

Gentle calming atmosphere and the first relief from my migraines in weeks. Thank you!

I felt very understood here, and believe the services helped me!

Great place!
