Christine is a miracle worker. I had knee problems and she worked with me to get me back in the game. She is caring and a great listener. My knee has not felt this food in a long long time. She has taught me a lot. I was happy to find her and so glad she is close by and very accommodating. Wish I could give more stars.

There are so many good things to say about Christina. I have worked with several people in the medical world for the past 4 years dealing with stomach/​digestive problems. I’ve never met someone so caring and helpful. My first visit she listened and gave me hope. I am still going to her months later and have had amazing results. She still pays just as much attention to my concerns and is always so willing and helpful to point you in the right direction. I’ve emailed her a couple times and she will email right back with an answer. She takes her job to a whole other level with her caring nature and amazing treatment. I would highly recommend Christina if you want the best care.

Thrive is an accurate name for Christina’s practice. I am recovering from chemotherapy and when I came in office for the first time, I was in pretty poor shape. With her care, I am feeling quite well and it has only been 2 months! I can tell I am on my way to thriving. I have come to trust her diagnosis which is amazingly accurate and her treatment. I am so glad I found her and I recommend her highly.

All the wonderful things the previous Unilocalers have already said about Christina Ness-​Hawks are true. She is professional, and still warm and caring. She cares for me as an entire, whole person. I am more than just my illness. Her attentive approach has minimized my chronic pain, and nearly cured all of the maladies that are associated with my condition. She goes above and beyond by providing resources & recommendations for optimum results so that I can heal. I started out seeing Christina 3x a week for several weeks. I began the first week of January, 2015. I am now seeing her 2x a week. I will keep going for as long as she is practicing! She is saving the quality of my life!

I called Christina after checking out lots of places online. Even though it was her day off, she called me back right away and spent a long time answering all my questions and discussing her approach to wellness. I have been going to her for almost a year, and I am so glad that I ended up with her on my team! She is very friendly and welcoming, and her approach is gentle and nonjudgmental. Plus, I really like her on a personal level! She’s just a pretty amazing person, as well.

I love Christina! Not only are her treatments awesome but she creates a truly uplifting experience with each visit. She checks in attentively, listens well and asks questions that quickly get right to the heart of the issue. Her communication style is direct yet super friendly which is a perfect combination of lets-​get-​this-​job-​done and lets-​enjoy-​getting-​the-​job-​done. And her office is so peaceful and relaxing I look forward to every visit, those mid day naps laying on the table are amazing!

I highly reccommend Christina at Thrive Acupuncture in Santa Rosa. Her space is relaxing, she’s a pleasure to be around, and she’s excellent at treating whatever complaints you may have. She listens and is thorough and gentle. I went to see her for muscle tension and aches, and her treatment was quicker and longer-​lasting than massage. And this is from someone who was skeptical of acupuncture! Not any longer!

I went to visit Christina after experiencing extreme pain in my neck to my shoulder blade. Christina was very quick to see me on a Saturday and made my experience very easy! Her office is warm, inviting, and calm. The whole experience was new to me and I was a little nervous. My concerns were addressed and I was ready to get my treatment.
I was expecting a pain full experience? Not at all! Far from that, after she placed the needles I fell asleep! She checked on me to make sure I was comfortable about ten minutes after we started, and I was instantly asleep. Most importantly, I felt ease in the area where my pain was centered. The next day and weeks to follow, I was pain free. I highly recommend Thrive Acupuncture and Christina Ness If you have muscular pain. Take the advice! you’ll feel better I promise. Thank you Christina!

I was a skeptic walking into Christina’s office, and came out a believer. I was frustrated with Western pain relief, and not getting any relief in my shoulder. A friend suggested acupuncture.
Thrive acupuncture and Christina Ness made me feel at ease. A professional but relaxing environment, with a great cup of tea. A clinical zen garden.
After a couple of sessions my pain is gone. No pills. No surgeries. The numbness in my fingers is gone.
If you are a beginner to this world, Christina is the way to go. If you are a seasoned acupuncture receiver, you will appreciate her knowledge and application.

Christina was referred to me by a friend for massage and tui na when I had an acute pain in my low back. Christina was willing to fit me on very short notice and her treatment made all the difference. She listened really closely to me when I explained my body’s particular sensitivities, injuries and needs — and kept checking in with me throughout the treatment to make sure I was comfortable. Tui Na is SO cool. It’s not like any technique I have ever experienced. It brought me joy! I will also add that Christina’s professionalism is extraordinary and I have felt very cared for during all my treatments with her since. She is kind and knowledgable and knows how to put you at ease. I recommend her highly and look forward to getting acupuncture treatments from her as well soon!
