Testimonials
I believe the best testimonials come directly from the people I've helped. Simply give me a call and I'll be happy to connect you with them.
“For several months I tried everything – chiropractors, osteopaths, acupuncturists and rolfers - all of the top names in each field. Even with all of their help I was unable to walk even a short block without having to rest several times.... AND the pain just kept getting worse. I was terrified of having to have back surgery, as was being recommended by the doctors.
I began working with Janet Culp, intensively, just according to her recommendation - four times a week for two weeks and then twice a week for a couple of more weeks. Before the end of the first week, I knew that I was in great hands. By the end of the second week, I was nearly pain free, and in three weeks, I was back to walking four miles, five days a week. Janet truly did miracle work on me.
After more than three years, I am still pain free. I continue to receive treatment from Janet on somewhat of a regular basis, just for general maintenance of my overall health. I am deeply indebted to Janet and her caring hands and the strength of her commitment to getting me out of pain. Thank you, always, for helping me when no one else could”. B. Wright

"Janet is able to connect more deeply into the core of my being than any other acupuncturist I've been to over the past four decades. Her hands-on listening skills combined with her gentle yet powerful needling techniques, border on the magical...truly transformational." S. Bruce
"I've been treated by several talented acupuncturists in the Santa Cruz area, however, the Janet Culp experience far surpassed my expectations. She doesn's just poke you with needles and leave; she ddicates 100% of herself and her attention to your session, adjusting her techniques and therapy modalities as the session progresses, to gently guide your body back into balance. Quite honestly, I limped into my first session with Janet and floated out 90% pain free!"
- Kim Durham
Philosophy
Wellness is not just an absence of pathological symptoms or a defined dis-ease process, but is instead the very ground of our existence. It is that which is already within us and naturally occurring as it resides within every cell of our body. For this and many other reasons, wellness is forever within our reach and the foundation of a radiant and joyful life.
Modern medicine’s obsession with fighting disease and eliminating symptoms, without considering its origins, expresses a basic misunderstanding, or mistrust of the body’s intelligence. From a holistic viewpoint, however, every disease process can be seen as the most intelligent way the body has for organizing itself in accordance with prevailing circumstances. That is why the emphasis of this combined method of treatment is to support the health that is always present, rather than fighting the disease. Our most fundamental resource for health is the “potency” of what is called the “Breath of Life” by the originator of cranial sacral osteopathy and its corollary in Traditional Chinese Medicine as “Qi” (pronounced ‘chee’), or life force. When this intrinsic resource is accessed and supported, then more wholesome and efficient expressions of wellness can emerge.
