If you are looking for a Center for acupuncture, this is it! The center is conveniently located on Beacon Street in the heart of Coolidge Corner in Brookline.

Chi was a wonderful support to my post-C section recovery. Even after pelvic floor PT I had issues with my scar and Chi helped improve it a lot. I would recommend her to anyone recovering from a c section!

I can not say enough good things about Chi if you’re looking for fertility support. After trying for baby #2 for quite a few months, a good friend referred me to Chi.

Before every appointment Chi takes her time to discuss how you are feeling and customizes her acupuncture toward your current needs.

If you are looking for a Center for acupuncture, this is it! The center is conveniently located on Beacon Street in the heart of Coolidge Corner in Brookline. There is always parking and the office is so pretty and relaxing. They have two practitioners and I have been seeing Sharon now for the past 2 months, weekly. Sharon is extremely qualified, having worked over 25 years in the field. She listens deeply and cares so much about your comfort, care and progress. Every time you go, she listens to your health update and specifically targets what you want to address. She remembers everything from the last visit and checks in to see how you are feeling. If you are considering going to acupuncture, you have to give them a try. It is the most relaxing experience that will help address your health conditions!

I can not say enough good things about Chi if you’re looking for fertility support. After trying for baby #2 for quite a few months, a good friend referred me to Chi. Chi is thorough, so educational, supportive, sometimes it felt like a refreshing short therapy session lol. Aside from fertility needs, she is incredibly insightful about general women’s health & nutrition. I left (not only pregnant after ~6 weeks) with more knowledge & understanding about my body’s needs than I could have imagined. If I could recommend Chi 10x over I would. Believe everything you hear!

Chi is an incredible provider who guided me through pre-conception and my pregnancy journey! Before every appointment Chi takes her time to discuss how you are feeling and customizes her acupuncture toward your current needs. Her vast experience with pre-natal care is incredible and if you are looking to pair your traditional OB-GYN experience with something more holistic I would highly recommend. I look forward to seeing Chi everytime!

I highly recommend Turning Leaf Acupuncture! Both Sharon and Chi are amazing—caring, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable.
I mostly see Chi, and she has been such a wonderful source of support throughout my fertility journey. She always took the time to listen, answered my questions, and gave me helpful advice on so many aspects of my health and wellness.
I'm so grateful to share that I became pregnant at 40, and I truly believe their care and support played an important role in my journey. I can't thank Chi and the team enough for everything they've done.
I'm still seeing Chi during my pregnancy, and she continues to be incredibly supportive, offering guidance and helping me feel cared for every step of the way. If you're looking for compassionate and experienced fertility acupuncture, I wholeheartedly recommend Turning Leaf Acupuncture.

She followed up with me after each of my 2 sessions with helpful information that we discussed during our session. The office is very clean and calming. I really enjoyed my time and will absolutely make another appointment if my pain comes back or if I need help with a different issue. I highly recommend Chi!

I have been seeing Sharón since the end of 2025 for fertility-related care, and it's been a wonderful experience. She's incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the overwhelming world of treatments and supplements. While I don't yet know what the future holds for my fertility journey, her care has made me confident that I'm doing everything possible to maximize my potential for conception.

Acupuncture has been a part of my wellness routine for many years, and since I started seeing Chi last year it has been clear that she is an absolute expert who truly goes above and beyond to treat her patients. I trust her implicitly and always feel better after an appointment with her. She is kind and thoughtful and even provides additional treatments and recommendations to enhance a session if it is in her patients best interest. I feel so lucky and grateful to be in her care!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Acupuncture Leaf in Brookline, and especially Chi, who has been an absolute game changer for my wife’s health and well-being.
From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed to put you at ease. But what truly sets this place apart is Chi. She is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely cares about her patients. She takes the time to really listen, understand your concerns, and tailor each session specifically to your needs.
Her approach is both professional and compassionate, and she explains everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident in the process.
Each session feels restorative—not just physically, but mentally as well. You can tell Chi is deeply passionate about what she does, and it shows in the results.
If you’re even considering acupuncture, this is the place to go. Highly, highly recommend!
