I have been going to Points for Wellness to see Beth for a few years now. Not only is the office the most beautiful + inviting space, but Beth is such an amazing practitioner! She is a wealth of knowledge + creates such a healing space for her patients. I am thrilled that she offers functional medicine + creates such individualized care plans. I look forward to these visits.

This place is fantastic. Ive been working with Olivia for over a year and attribute her support to a successful pregnancy. She treated me during my IVF journey, from egg retrievals to implantation and throughout my pregnancy. Im due in two months and feel like her treatments have helped me so much during this journey. She is gentle, kind, funny and thorough.

Olivia is a miracle worker…I was curious about acupunctures potential benefits for fertility and am so glad I discovered Points for Wellness. Ive been seeing Olivia for nearly nine months, and I cant recommend her highly enough! After trying to conceive for over a year, I became pregnant after just three visits.Olivia is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to truly understand you and your specific symptoms. Each session is tailored to my cycle and any current concerns, and I find the appointments deeply relaxing—its become one of my favorite weekly rituals.Ive also had fantastic results with Olivias cupping therapy for my lower back pain. Points of Wellness is a truly amazing place.

The staff are wonderful, professional and super responsive if I have any questions or change of appointment. I have been seeing Dr. Beth Dorsey (for quite some time), whom I feel is one of the best in our area and I have tried many acupuncturist. She listens, is empathic, supportive and is super in tuned with what your body needs help with. My body has improved with her treatments. I am super grateful🙏 to have her treating me, esp because my body can be complicated at times. And her location is ideal.I highly recommend her and her wonderful staff. She has many other amazing healers on staff as well. Please check them out.

Clean, friendly, well lit, calming, beautiful, knowledgable, helpful, and relaxing. I had a very good experience with Olivia as my acupuncturist. I will definitely be coming back. I went from 10/10 pain to a 5/10 in just one visit. And my range of motion has improved! So grateful.

I started working with Beth when I had concerns about my fertility moving into my late 30’s. VERY soon afterward, my husband and I learned we were pregnant! I continued to see Beth throughout my pregnancy, and she was a constant source of reassurance, guidance, and simple strategies that helped me boost my prenatal health without feeling overwhelmed by all the pregnancy “should’s”. She is truly an expert in her profession and a gift to the Santa Cruz perinatal community!

I went to Olivia Baker at Points for Wellness after a year of struggling with peri-menopause symptoms. I was miserable. She was the first person who didnt make me feel crazy. She came up with an incredibly personal treatment plan and within weeks I was feeling so much better. I am SO thankful for her and recommend Olivia to anyone who wants a kind, thoughtful and incredibly capable practitioner. I cant recommend her enough!

I started seeing Dr Beth Dorsey almost two years ago. She has the best temperament of any medical professional I have ever been around. She wants to know how your feeling, whats changed, anything and everything to get you feeling your best. From sore arms to tight calves and everything in between she’s got an answer for it all. I have recommended her time after and time to employees, customers, and pretty much anyone I come across that I know would benefit from going to see her. If this doesn’t sell you enough on her services. Then I’ll just say this I recently turned 37. I feel younger today than I did at 30. Dr Dorsey being the difference!!Pro Tip: in addition to Beth’s services they also have great skin care staff and products !! And the best people!! Love Points for Wellness

I’ve been seeing Beth Dorsey for the past year for acupuncture. I originally went in to start getting my body prepared for having a baby and within a month or two I was pregnant. She’s so professional and knows exactly what she’s doing. I highly recommend for any fertility or just getting body balanced with Accupuncture. I also just received a prenatal massage by Mairin Torr at 36 weeks pregnant and it felt amazing. She was so sweet and also seems very educated in massage. The Office is also very aesthetically beautiful. Always feels very clean and gives all the zen vibes.

From start to finish you are taken care of with the greatest care and compassion. The whole front desk staff is amazing, Carmen is a rockstar and you are always greeted by multiple smiling and friendly faces. Beth and Olivia are both amazing! I have mostly seen Olivia and she is so sweet, knowledgable, fun and an extremely skilled top-notch practitioner. You cannot get any better than Olivia and Beth. Olivias treatments are gentle yet powerful, and she has helped my health in so many ways. I always feel better after seeing her, and she has provided so many concrete results for me.

She has such a wealth of knowledge on how to handle a diverse set of problems. I can’t recommend her enough!

BethIs a very compassionate heath care professional. After multiple visits to doctors to help address some health concerns to no avail, I went to Beth. Beth took her time and helped me get to the bottom of what was going on and helped me heal my body. I will always be grateful for her knowledge, professionalism. I would highly recommend Beth!

Beth is absolutely fantastic at what she does. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable in her field, but she is also incredibly kind and supportive as a practitioner. I have been under her care since 2020, and I truly cant imagine not having her as an integral part of my self-care and health routine.

Dr Beth Dorsey offers care and healing of a very high standard, which starts with listening and understanding what is going on for you.She is very intuitive as well as science based.I very highly recommend her.

I absolutely love Dr. Beth and her office staff. They are welcoming and sweet. I have been working with Beth for quite a few years going for acupuncture or my aches and pains. More recently I have had digestive issues. Beth has done a system overhaul working with not only acupuncture but with supplements too. I have had the best digestive functions I have had in years.

I started my wellness journey with the goal of regulating my cycle and addressing some general health concerns, and I am thrilled with the results I have seen since working with Beth.

So many things to say about Beth and how much shes helped me through the years. I have problems with vertigo, anxiety and hormone imbalances and Im a firm believer in acupuncture helping with all these things! Beth really listens and will get down to the roots of the issues. Highly recommend!!!!

BETH HEALED ME. This review is way overdue. It seems silly to even be able to put into words through one little review to explain what Beth has done for me, and how she has changed my life. I struggled for 6 years with fatigue, anxiety, acne, hormonal imbalance, jaw pain and more; also I am currently only 26. I have gone to MDs, NDs, acupuncturists and other practitioners and no one could find the root cause to all my symptoms. I refused to give up on my journey towards health, and then I finally found Beth in the Summer of 2019. At the first appointment she attentively listened to my story of the past 6 years, which had started with the removal, and consequent infection, of my wisdom teeth. She suggested that I may still have infection trapped in my jaw, and this could be the cause of my symptoms. She referred me to a local biological dentist to get it checked out. Sure enough, there was infection trapped in both sockets of my bottom jaw! Within 2 months I had two oral surgeries to get the infection removed. This whole time Beth was right by my side, guiding me through the hardest detox and healing process I had ever been through. I truly could not have gotten through it without her, she is the prefect blend of being extremely knowledgeable, while also being empathetic, sweet and available. She truly cared about getting me better! Over the past few months she has put me on a healing protocol to get rid of any remaining infection and heal my body from the damage the infection had done. I am not exaggerating when I say I am a brand new person! I am finally feeling like myself again, and a thriving 26 year old! No more anxiety, barely any fatigue, my periods are completely regulated with no cramps, my acne has completely cleared up, and the jaw pain I experienced for 6 years that people told me was TMJ is GONE. I was so ready to heal all I needed was for someone to believe in me and listen to me, and to help me figure out what was really going on. I recommend Beth with my whole heart, and truly believe that she will do everything she can to heal whoever walks through her doors. I wish I found her sooner, but I am just so grateful I did! My advice to anyone reading this is to let Beth help heal you, and never ever give up on your journey to health!

I always receive Beth’s full attention, knowledgeable responses, compassionate concern and excellent treatment that sustains my health and enriches my emotional wellbeing. Couldn’t ask for more complete care.

Beth Dorsey was kind and thorough. I really appreciated how much time she spent with me. I definitely recommend.

Beth Dorsey is absolutely fabulous! She is so skilled in her profession and knowledgeable about so many aspects of health and well being. Beth treated me for with acupuncture and massage for a sports injury. Her attention to detail and calm comforting demeanor as well as her treatment left me feeling better than ever. Beth is a wonderful acupuncturist. If you are looking for someone who knows what she is doing look no further. Beth is the person to call!!

Beth at Points for Wellness is a wonderful healer, herbalist, and exceptional acupuncturist. I have had great success with her Natural Allergy Elimination Treatment, and my teenage daughter simply loves Beths work on her. I highly recommend Beth for both chronic and acute conditions, as well as for great nutritional counsel and general health tune ups. Yay Beth!

Beth’s care has given my husband and myself pain relief and healing and strength allowing us to live strong in our late 70s. The treatments are amazingly restorative.

Beth is such a knowledgeable and warm practitioner. Her acupuncture skills are amazing! I refer many patients to her and see her myself! We are so lucky to have such a gem of a practitioner right here in our community.

I love Beth for her attention to detail, deep listening and supporting me with acupuncture, massage, nutrition advice, and supplements. Ive been a steady client for over ten years. Beth is experienced and professional, handles scheduling and insurance billing is a breeze!

Beth Dorsey is an absolute treasure, and I am so grateful to always have her in my corner. I have gone to her for nutritional guidance and acupuncture for several years for every health adventure Ive been on, from hormone-balancing/thyroid autoimmune issues to sinus issues, to adult acne issues, to support before and after brain tumor surgery. Ive taken my kids to her as well, and every test shes ever ordered for any of us have all revealed valuable information that our Western doctors missed or chose not to explore. Shes easy-going and fun to visit, and has become a friend. The combination of her vast knowledge, clever detective skills and love of her work have landed me as a client for life! (Ive lost count of how many other people Ive referred to her, and they all love her, too.)

Beth is the real deal. Her expertise and her experience make her the perfect choice for your acupuncture needs. She is easy to talk to, funny, and gets to the root of the issue. I highly recommend her.

Felt cared for and truly understood by the questions asked and care received.

Highly recommend.
