Adam Atman, L Ac

Los Gatos Acupuncture and Qigong is a wonderful place to really get in tune with your body through the classes they offer as well as the acupuncture, massage, and meditation practices. I was referred from a friend and I could not be more pleased. This place is run with integrity and grace and the services are personalized to meet my individual needs. In the short few months I have been coming I am more energized, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Adam takes the time to tune into an individuals needs with nurturing devotion to implement a plan of action to alleviate pain and give additional tools for better diet, lifestyle, and overall health. Adam implements these skills of action in a fun and integrative way so that it feels like a fun, action plan, full of adventure for self improvement and self love in the most interesting of ways. With much thanks and appreciation to the person who referred me as well as the whole staff at LGAQ! Wow!

If you are looking for both acupuncture and healing, you will be glad you found Adam. Adam helps me with a variety of issues — back pain, stress, fatigue, and some others. However, beyond just helping alleviate the symptoms, Adam helps me move through these physical issues and experience a deeper level of emotional or spiritual growth. I have worked with him during some of my most difficult times and have been incredibly grateful for his support and guidance.
I even took my teenage son to him and my son is a tough sell on alternative things like acupuncture! Most son thought Adam was terrific. The health guidance he gave my son made a very big difference for him.
I recommend him highly. He is a rare gem. We are lucky to have him here in Los Gatos.

Adam changed my life! That’s as good as it gets. I was suffering from migraines and after my first visit and his recommendations the occurence of migraines dramatically dropped. Also, as a lot of reviews state, Adam is an accomplished healer. He’s helping me understanding how my body works according to my emotions. And it doesn’t stop there! He recommended me some books to educate myself on the body and mind. Those books are changing my life as well. I am more aware and in tune with my body and spirit. And last but not least, the Qi Gong class is one of the most positively challenging class I ever experienced. Thank you Adam!

There are doctors, and then there are healers. Adam is a healer — someone who will work with you personally and specifically, getting to know your comforts and discomforts, and will use any of a large arsenal of tools to help you to heal (breathwork, chinese herbs, acupuncture, meditation practice, counseling, etc.) Highly recommend seeing him for nearly all your health needs.

Adam is an amazingly gifted healer! He is a warm, peaceful, generous, gentle soul who has amazing knowledge of many healing modalities including acupuncture, qigong, herbs and much more. I feel so safe and cared for when I am in his presence. He has over twenty years of experience and is clearly a healer who continues to learn and grow in order to support his clients. I just love going to his clinic! It has peaceful, healing energy and draws amazing people. Do your body, mind and spirit a tremendous gift and go see Adam! I am so happy that my friend told me about him, and I continue to pass on his information to anyone I know who is interested in healing and expanding life!
Adam has helped me with physical issues and on building my inner strength, resilience, joy and peace! He is incredibly intuitive, supportive and genuinely caring. He also combines solid knowledge and experience with a holistic spiritual dimension. I am so grateful I found this wonderful healer!

I was looking for a new acupuncturist (my previous one was more of a «woman’s» doctor), and was recommended Adam by someone I trust. I’m pretty much a western type of guy with fibromyalgia, diabetes and mood problems. I got there, and he had two students with him taking notes. He passed his hands over me looking for energy and I thought «Oh, he’s one of THOSE type of doctors». Then I felt a sort of warm rolling pin over my body and I thought «Oh, he’s a GOOD one of types of doctors».
He’s very personable with a good sense of humor. Great bedside manner and makes you feel at ease. He has an insatiable curiosity about all sorts of medicine, western and otherwise, and the curiosity extends to the patient. He’s interested in you as well as your condition, and asked me all sorts of questions that no one else had.
I’ve been telling people that Adam speaks several languages well. He speaks New Age, Taoist (spelling?), Chinese and Western. He is quite comfortable talking in whatever terms the patient seems confortable with. As I said, I’m pretty much a Western guy with a western medical doctor for a father and I’m an engineer. I also have a daughter learning chinese medicine in Boston. So he will talk to me about meridian lines and Qi, along with how the endocrine system works and getting moving so the lymph nodes get some exercise. When I talked about sleep problems, he talked to me about the latest research on «dark therapy» for sleep and mood (check it out on Google). He’s fine with letting other doctors and chiropractors do their thing without hassle, though of course he wants to know what medications you are on so he doesn’t interfere with their treatments. I’ve never felt rushed
He has a degree in chinese medicine, generally has a number of students working with him, and teaches Qigong several times a week in his spacious studio across from Vasona Park.
I’ve been seeing him once a week for several months. My wife and I just finished a weekend Qigong seminar and we’ll both be going again.
I have to say that Adam is one of the best health care professionals I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I recommend him highly.

I have been under Adam’s care on and off for over 15 years and have followed him from clinic to clinic. This new center, Los Gatos Acupuncture and QiGong Clinic, is also aptly nicknamed «Adam’s Place» and truly mirrors Adam’s innate spiritual sensibilities and highly trained methods and modes of healing. You get a nice surprise when you enter the center as each treatment room is a unique environment capturing a single element through Feng Shui directed lighting, color and scent.
Adam’s acupuncture and herbal treatments help me when my life is not making sense and my body is trying to tell me something is wrong. I always get more out of my acupuncture sessions than expected. More what you might ask? More awareness, more pause for reflection, more healing; and I leave with a greater sense of peace and balance.
He always starts the session with «How’s your body?» I love that question. Half the time I don’t know. But I want to find out. You see, Adam has an uncanny ability to unlock the connection between how my life is going and how my body is feeling by checking pulses, tuning into my body and asking a few questions. He then methodically applies acupuncture treatment, writes down the treatment and leaves me to ‘rest’. Depending on my condition, he may recommend QiGong movements and or Chinese herbs to supplement acupuncture.
Western traditional medicine has its benefits but none can compare to the healing and knowledge I receive through Adam’s care.
