Holly B. Goguen, LAc

Holly and her team are amazing! I have gone here for acupuncture for over a year and she has a true talent. She impressed me since my initial visit. She is extremely thorough and really takes the time to understand your goals and what is going on with your body. She is charismatic about her work and her patients and it shows within her work. I constantly leave her office feeling refreshed and 10 times better than when I walked in.
I started seeing her for ongoing back pain from a slipped disk and she has helped me manage my pain to nearly no pain and I am able to maintain my physical activity level.

I saw no real improvement with my knee pain after several sessions.
After one of my sessions, I had some pain and it felt like something was tweaked. It took over a week for that discomfort to go away. I mentioned that the pain came after my appointment and was right where one of the needles was inserted, but she dismissed it and felt it couldn’t have been something she did.
On a side note — does anyone else see the humor in her name? Holly be gougin?

An unhappy experience all around

I highly recommend Holly! I chose her because of her positive reviews when I was looking for some to treat me for infertility. After seeing her for 2 months I became pregnant. She had a way of relaxing me and she was always so positive. I felt very comfortable talking to her and she seemed very informed and knowledgable. I’m so grateful to have been treated by Holly!

Irma Irma Irma!!!
So my mom, Brother, Sister in law, and boyfriend have been trying to get me to go to Irma for about 2 years. I Finally caved and now I’m just as sold as they are. I love her attention to details and positive attitude.
I would highly recommend Irma to anyone.

Back again to see Holly for a bit of stress and sleep problems. She is working her acupuncture magic once again. Thanks, Holly. The fact that her office is in such a relaxing setting, spa music and dim lights really help to make the experience all the more enjoyable!

Love Holy! She is easy to talk to– listens and suggests things to actually help you with

I have had some chronic problems with my neck, but what really inspired my visit to Holly was my recent hip strain, which I got from running. She treated both my neck and my hip — it’s so amazing how needles in your feet, hands and ears can work like they do! — and they are both feeling much better. Last visit, I literally limped in, and walked out with zero hip pain for over 24 hours. And even though it’s back to aching a bit, it is WAY better than it was before I got treated. And also on the second visit, I asked Holly for some help with my TMJ (I’m a teeth-​clencher, and I get periodic aches and pains in my jaw as a result), and I have had no aching at all for several days.
This is only my second experience with acupuncture, and it amazes me how well it works. If you’re not a believer, you will just have to try it for yourself!

I have a friend that recently got so sick that he could not walk. We went to the emergency room and no results. My sister is an acupuncturist in NY and recommended that my friend be treated to help with the pain. I called many places to ask if they could do house calls and finally spoke with Holly. She was very concerned and helpful. She told me that she was booked for the day and to continue calling other people, but if I could not find anyone, that she would come over after work (she does not normally do house calls). She later called with the name of a mobile acupuncturist and had him stop by. That was greatly appreciated and I just want to share this. This is someone that cares and was willing to go above & beyond.

Holly is amazing. I first started coming to her when I had a strange issue where I couldn’t smell properly (I kept smelling a chemical smell). I knew that if I went to my GP he’d just tell me it was an allergy of some sort and give me medication. I thought I’d try a different approach and try acupuncture. I’m so glad I did!
Holly is a great listener, very patient, gentle and knowledgeable. After my first session, the chemical smell went away the following day. It was amazing, especially because I was worried about how long this condition would last and it really bothered me!
I have also come to her for neck pain, anxiety and just about anything you can imagine. It is amazing what acupuncture can do! I highly recommend her!
The office is beautiful too, very clean, tranquil and welcoming. Jenna at the front desk is very friendly as well!

Simply put– Holly is the BEST acupuncturist I’ve ever been to (I’ve tried several), not to mention the nicest and most attentive. She healed an acute and reoccurring back injury that usually takes two weeks in only two treatments (with one day in between). She is heaven sent and extremely talented at what she does.

I have just started treatment for stress and getting constant colds and flus that last for, well, what seems like forever. I was a little nervous about acupuncture but nothing else has worked so far so I was pretty much up for anything at this point. Holly was really nice about it and made me feel a lot more comfortable than I thought I would be… and to be honest… it was pretty relaxing considering what it is. So far I’m feeling a lot less stressed, but still waiting to see how the colds go once I get one. Hopefully I don’t! Overall I was pretty impressed with the amount of time she spent with me, and I think she had a lot of good suggestions for things I can do to help treatment. Definitely going back, hopefully she can cure my constant sickness!

I found her through a google search and so grateful I did!!! I have never had acupuncture done before and I am growing tired of popping pills for every ailment. She was very patient and waited for me to come into her office after I got off work late for my first treatment. She could’ve easily told me to reschedule but she didn’t. She is fantastic and the treatment was unbelievably relaxing!!! I didn’t know a whole lot going into this but I already have an appointment for my next treatment. The universe works in an interesting way and I am so glad that I googled acupuncture and spoke with Holly.

driving on the Los Angeles freeway to see Holly Goguen i remember thinking, «wow — she has really got her work cut out for her!» while texting, drinking coffee and trying to read Mapquest at the same time. i will pass around some pictures of me for you to look at. i am the anxious, stressed, clenching my jaw, not breathing while tensing my shoulders one. that’s me on a good day. when i saw Holly i had been working for two months straight with only two days off. i was levitating a few feet above myself. i was out of my mind.
i must admit i didn’t have high expectations. i don’t know anything about acupuncture and was not convinced. that was before Holly. she was delightful. she really listened and was kind and professional as she took the lead. as she asked me questions i started to see the validity and potency of acupuncture. my experience was profound. during the session i felt a complete change come over me and there was a monumental shift. by the time she removed the needles i felt grounded, totally in my mind and in my body. she had performed a wholesale miracle. just this week i started to feel the burn of life in 2008 in this busy world and i thought, «time to go see Holly!»

I highly recommend Holly! I had a chance to do a couple of sessions with her after a recent bout of back and neck problems. I had always been skeptical about the benefits of acupuncture, but Holly made me feel right at home. She asked all the right questions, and her demeanor was professional, and courteous. Plus, what a great location for an office!
But the most important part obviously was the results. I left each session feeling relaxed, and relieved of pain. Hopefully my problems won’t return, but if they do, I will definitely be going back for more sessions!
