What People are Saying.

  • I was referred to Steffi when my nerve pains were not getting any better after nearly 3 years suffering chronically from it. At one point my entire right side from tip of my head to tip of my fingertips started to lock in places. Steffi has incredible knowledge on where she has to apply the treatment. I myself know how much work needs to be done on me regarding this nerve pain. And it was so hard to pin point it, I have been to so many different doctors to figure it out. After last several sessions now I very much understand I needed this therapy. The places where I did not even know that my muscles were so tight that no blood circulation was happening so they became numb, now often I feel the warmth which shows that finally blood circulation is happening at those paces. This has been incredibly helpful for me. I would very much recommend her treatment

  • In my opinion, Steffi is the best acupuncture specialist in the Boston area. She has had a huge impact on my life, as I have been suffering from asthma and allergies.

    Before I saw Steffi, I went to numerous physicians and allergy specialists to get treated weekly with injections that were supposed to keep my asthma and allergies under control. However, the results were short-lived and ineffective. After the first couple of acupuncture treatments by Steffi, both the allergies and asthma improved significantly (about 90%). Now I don’t have to receive injections at all or use the asthma inhalator as often as before.

    I also broke my arm in 2017. After 2 months with a cast, my mobility was very limited, and I suffered from shoulder pain upon every movement. Steffi’s acupuncture helped me with pain management during the recovery process. I regained all of my mobility, and I’m fully healed. Steffi is the best! Her treatment is very effective, and she really cares about her patients!!

  • I was recommended to Dr Steffi for help with some muscular pain I was having. I couldn't be happier with the results!!

    Dr Steffi is amazing. She listens and truly wants to help you feel your best. She is attentive and can see things even before you do!

    I have had pain in my shoulders, knees, and hands - all are nearly gone! I feel far more mobile than I have in a long time. She also suggested herbal tea to help with some night issues and it has been life changing!

    I was very skeptical as first about acupuncture and herbal medicine - I am a believer now. She really wants you to be as mobile and pain free. If you have pain that you are not sure what to do next I highly recommend seeing Dr Steffi!

  • Steffi has been a godsend! I came to her with very intense hot flashes that were almost ruining my quality of life. I had so many of them every night and every day. I had to change clothes multiple times each day. I had tried every pharmaceutical and herbal remedy I could find to no avail. I figured that accupuncture would be at least worth a last ditch effort. Of course it did not happen immediately, but after about 10 or 15 treatments I began to notice them getting both less frequent and less intense. Then one day I realized that I could not remember when I had one! This was after 10 years of having about 20 each day and 20 each night. Thank you Steffi from the bottom of my heart. This stuff works!!!

  • Steffi is a spectacular acupuncturist! Steffi is caring and knowledgeable but most of all her treatments are transformative. I left her treatment feeling the best I have in years. I look forward to seeing again soon.

    -Jessica

  • My chiropractor recommended Dr. Koerner yo me in order to treat a nagging shoulder imbalance. Much to my surprise, we were able to treat much more than that! We dealt with some digestion issues, knee issues, hip issues and stress. We dealt with stress in such a way that I am now able to keep my peace and energy up during what has been a pretty busy and taxing time! I’m so glad I got this recommendation.

    -Jeff

  • Steffi is beyond amazing — she is a true healer. I can’t say enough about the impact she has had on me and my family. From the very first session, her warmth, intuition, and expertise made me feel completely safe and cared for. She has a unique ability to listen deeply, not just to what you say, but to what your body and energy are communicating.

    Her treatments are thoughtful, personalized, and incredibly effective. Whether it was stress, chronic pain, emotional balance, or just the need for deep restoration, Steffi always knew exactly what was needed. She’s helped me through challenges I never thought I’d find relief from.

    We all trust her implicitly. She’s not just an acupuncturist — she’s part of our wellness journey and someone we feel lucky to have in our lives. I truly believe anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will walk away feeling more whole, more grounded, and more connected.

  • I've received acupuncture from Steffi for many years and absolutely love visiting her and her practice. Even if I'm feeling no aches, pains or tight muscles it's such a relaxing experience and I leave feeling so much better. It has been great to get accupuncture during my pregnancy. Highly recommend Steffi and her services!

  • When I went to Steffi with rheumatoid arthritis pain two years ago, she suggested that I get off the methotrexate that had been prescribed. She then started treating me every other week and I improved immediately, and now feel much better than I did when I was taking the drugs. Steffi is perceptive and talented, and her holistic approach to health has worked wonders for me. Steffi has a PhD in Organic Chemistry and has superb knowledge of natural remedies. I am lucky to have found her.

  • After 8 years of worsening IBS symptoms, several visits to GI specialists, and a handful of prescriptions, I made my first visit to see Steffi. That was the beginning of April 2018. I was experiencing GI distress with every meal and didn't have much hope my chronic issue would ever be resolved. After 5 sessions my symptoms began to noticeably improve; after 25 sessions, I am a new person. Now asymptomatic, my energy and mood have stabilized and my belief in the practice of acupuncture has surpassed many other forms of true health care. My conclusion: the practitioner is what matters. Steffi is compassionate, dedicated, reliable, and a true student of her trade, prepared with more knowledge and ability with each visit. She cares about her patients, treats them with respect, and is focused on sustainable resolution of ailments rather than long-term care. I recommend Steffi to everyone I know seeking acupuncture, and would encourage any stranger to do the same.

  • Steffi is my first (and only) acupuncture experience, but has truly changed my life. I had some digestive issues that came out of nowhere in my mid-20s. I went to a GI and tried medication, but it had side effects I was not a fan of. I decided to explore acupuncture as an alternative.

    At my consultation, Steffi took time to understand my triggers, symptoms, when they were at their worst, and my overall health. She truly is a whole body healer -- and asks lots of questions each session to be sure she's targeting what I need at that moment. My digestive issues are virtually gone, and I continue to go monthly to stay on track.

    I love that she can help with anything else that's going on when I'm there -- headaches, colds (and avoiding them), and more. I really don't know where I'd be without Steffi and her practice.

  • Steffi was an amazing find! I was looking for a practitioner who was very knowledgeable, would attack my issues head-on, and close enough that bad traffic wouldn't undo the work. It had been too long since having acupuncture since those are tough criteria to satisfy! After my first visit with associated treatments, I felt a difference. Some of her treatments were new to me and my body responded so well. Appointments became a little oasis for my body and mind during a very stressful period. She suggested some lifestyle changes, and actually explained why they might help (while she felt strongly about them, I never felt pressured, so actually implemented a few that made a lot of difference!). One of the things I appreciated the most was there was no one-size-fits-all plan, and each session she would check-in thoroughly and adjust where needed. Steffi is amazingly conscientious, kind, and concerned about her clients' safety, well-being, and health.

  • I have always loved being active, but due to a bunch of physical problems I found myself more and more and more restricted with what I'm able to do. Now my knee pain is gone, completely vanished, my shoulder pain is much improved and my hip is on the mend. I can't begin to describe how grateful I am to feel like I can do things again😍
    Steffi is an incredible practitioner, like nothing I have ever seen. I'm so so so grateful to the person who referred me.

  • Dr. Steffi (PhD in Chemistry, with a list of patents and publications longer than your arm) is your only choice for acupuncture in greater Boston, especially for those skeptical of/ lacking exposure to non-western medicine. She cured my chronic neck pain and overactive bladder, and we are making significant strides towards stroke healing and remediation of chronic fatigue.

    -Adam

  • Just over a year ago I suffered an allergic reaction to the antibiotic I had been prescribed after major dental surgery. It developed into a chronic condition that doctors thought might be an auto-immune disorder and continued tests showed worsening results for several months. As a last resort before beginning immuno-suppressant therapy, I decided to try acupuncture. Steffi treated me for the liver issues and related stress. After a few treatments, my tests began to get better, and a few months later the disorder abated and cleared up completely without the use of any drugs.

    - Bruce

  • Was living with lower back pain for 5 years that became more painful as time went on. Thanks to Steffi and her acupuncture expertise, knowledge and techniques I am happy to say I am now pain free. I highly recommend that you don't hesitate and live with pain. Steffi will take good care of you. Acupuncture is very relaxing and it works!!

  • I’ve been treating with Steffi since June of this year. I suffered from extreme chronic pain in my neck, back, low back mostly on my left side, “leftitis,” for decades, and severe swelling in my left ankle since a hiking injury at age 13. I had some success with chiropractic care but I was not giving enough effort to stretching excercises to facilitate the spinal manipulations I received. After I began acupuncture treatment, the pain decreased significantly and lasted longer each time I treated. I do need to be treated four times a week but my pain is almost totally gone. I am now looking forward to a yoga class I’m starting next week per Steffi’s advice that I use other modalities in conjunction with acupuncture and that I do so in a way that I find enjoyable and sustainable. So I’m happy to begin my search with this new class. Besides the lack of pain that I finally have now on an ongoing basis, I am sleeping more soundly, and, I am much less stressed out as a result! Whatever the scientific explanation is in regards to acupuncture aligning one’s chi or energy, I only know that it is incredibly free-ing to feel far less pain, more stamina, and less stress! “It’s not a miracle! It’s Chinese Medicine,” as Steffi would say!

  • Steffi has put me back together over and over again! I've dealt with all sorts of injuries and Steffi has been instrumental in helping me heal one the past few years. I'm forever grateful!

    -Ariana

  • I saw Dr. Koerner for my chronic neck pain. I had been experiencing worsening symptoms and was in a lot of pain. After 3 treatments my neck pain was completely gone (!!) and stayed that way for more than a week. Minor symptoms have returned (after 2 weeks) and I plan to continue with her treatments because the results are astounding! I have complete trust in her, and am so grateful to be pain-free from her treatments.

    - Lisa

  • Steffi is the best! She has helped me immeasurably with chronic pain issues. I don’t live in the area any more, but whenever I’m in town I make a point to visit - she’s that good!
