Dr. Andrea is one of the kindest and most humbly knowledgeable person I have known. She offered wellness hour at my retreat and it was a game changer for the offering. Our group of 25 was blown away. I recommend Dr. Andrea’s services to everyone, don’t miss on this healing.

Dr. Andrea is someone that I recommend without hesitation, and I can recommend her in so many ways. Other than being a stellar and brilliant human being, she is one of the most highly-trained practitioners of holistic/alternative medicine that I know (and that is saying something because I used to be a practitioner of Oriental Medicine and an LMT myself). She is a doctor that you can tell is continually learning and evolving, and her breadth of knowledge is impressive. Her way with patients is one that is engaged, kind, and results-oriented. I think what I admire the most, though, is her commitment to the community and to making healing medicine accessible for all people. You just don’t see that very often in medicine today. She truly strives to make the world a better place, and she is certainly achieving that here in Evergreen.

This has become one of my favorite little weekend rituals in Evergreen. I like to take a walk by the lake, grab a coffee and maybe a donut nearby, and then stop in during Dr. Andrea’s walk-in hours to relax for a bit.

Her space has a peaceful Japanese tea house feel, and the self-care shop is full of thoughtful wellness tools. The free group ear acupuncture while you browse is such a unique and generous offering, and the herbal tea samples make it easy to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Dr. Andrea’s own healing journey and dedication to helping people feel better really come through in everything she does. It’s a lovely place to pause, reset, and take care of yourself.

J. Han

I LOVE working with Dr. Renee! She explains complex topics to my level of comprehension, and she’s a joyous cheerleader! When I view a moment/data point as meh, she enthusiastically points out the positive progressions I’ve made to better health.

I also appreciate her teaching me simple adjustments I can make in between appointments (including home exercises, stretching, and food swaps) so I’m empowered to take back my health.

I’m so grateful for Dr. Renee’s help and healing!!!

Dr. Andrea Rivera is one of the best Acupuncturist, Herbalist and Spiritual Healer that I have met. Her knowledge is vast and her compassion for her patients is abundant. I have always had positive results after my sessions with her. She always given her full attention to my treatments. I highly recommend being treated by Dr. Andrea Rivera.
Alma

Renee is so intuitive and insightful about her approach to my wellness. The weekly Accupuncture I receive from her resets my energetic center and helps me manage stress. I recommend Chillax Om as a kind thing to do for one’s well-being and balance for 2020 and beyond.
Fran R.

I’m very pleased to recommend this acupuncture establishment to anyone dealing with unwanted body issues.
The treatments are carefully and professionally delivered. What’s more important, the results.
I leave my appointments very relaxed, as though I’m floating on air, with my pain a distant memory .

Excellent service by an experienced acupuncturist! A gem in the heart of the Palisades. Look forward to
going back and continuing treatments✨

I love Chillax and Dr. Andrea. She listens and cares. And she is so gentle, supportive, and non-judgmental. And, oh my goodness – is she responsive when you have a question! She sooo very much goes the extra mile. Additionally, the treatments are so effective – both soothing/relaxing and therapeutic/efficacious. She has actually saved me trips to the ER by working on a heart issue I have – in both the acute and long-term sense. I am so very glad I found her. She has been such a support and a literal life saver. Love her!

Maria G.

Andrea is a one of a kind acupuncturist. She is always mindful of my necessities each session, whether it be stress or muscle pain relief. During a session, you can discuss your whole spectrum of health and Andrea has a point of advice and wisdom for all. If you are looking to enter the world of whole body and mind health, Andrea is the one to go to!

I am so appreciative of Chillax Om & Dr. Andrea! I just had my 10th of a 10 treatment package of Facial Acupuncture for Cosmetic Enhancement! I am incredibly grateful. I so I feel so blessed to be receiving these treatments.

I’m seeing a lot of improvement with my overall color, deep lines, fine lines, in just 10 treatments my complexion has became more soft and even and I feel lighter, calmer and more grounded. More hopeful and I feel really good about myself. That is such a nice bonus!! Beauty is so uplifting and important in our lives. Inside and out. I am going to continue to see Dr. Andrea regularly as a patient for maintenancen in addition to the self care treatments she has taught me for my everyday routine.

It is so wise to make sure that we’re keeping blood flow and oxygen in the face. All through the body. Holistic health!
I participated in a case study research project Dr. Andrea Renee, DACM is conducting to document my experience and results at Chillax Om Anti-Aging Acupuncture in Evergreen.
My whole family has benefited. Even my daughter has started using the face care home routine Dr. Andrea taught us as well.
And my husband loves the bath/foot soak salt/herb blend. Thank you so much.
I will continue to refer friends/colleagues/family to Chillax Om & Dr. Andrea

I had the privilege of hosting Dr Andrea’s Wellness Hour at our Abundant HealthPreneur retreat, and I cannot recommend highly enough! She brought joy, relaxation, and embodiment to everyone present. She made everybody so relaxed, even if they were brand new to these modalities. Dr. Andrea is the perfect bridge to create more healing for organizations, where people are stressed or physically stuck seating or just caught in their heads. What a gift this woman is!
Jon Block

Dr. Andrea is absolutely amazing, and genuine soul and person. I have been struggling so hard with many things, and she had all the answers I needed. She recommended what to do, and also is going to be my partner in my continuing journey to get healthy. Absolutely anyone would be blessed to be taken care of by Dr. Andrea. What a wonderful person to have on your medical journey.

Roger Valdez

If your looking for a great accuptureors.. Look no further. Dr. Renne is the Best. Her knowledge is incredible. She is a doctor who takes her time in treating you. She truly cares about you and teaches you how to help take care of yourself. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine with the art of acupuncture and cupping working all together is truly healing to your body. She has successfully helped me get out of major Chronicle pain and change my daily out look on life. Her positive energy and carrying of her patients is outstanding. It’s unfortunate more doctors don’t have this kind of bedside manner and true caring for their patients you can’t find anybody better than her give her a call in find out for yourself. She’s an awesome doctor
Loretta M.

Dr. Renee is an amazing Oriental Medicine practitioner and healer! She is friendly, personable, and helpful. Her positive attitude and beautiful spirit can inspire anyone who comes near her. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the art of healing!
Cinthia M.

Dr. Andrea is the best doctor I’ve ever been to, holistic or otherwise. She really cares about all of her patients and can really dial in on exactly what the patient needs. Unlike other doctors, she’s the first who’s gone above and beyond in showing me how to treat my own symptoms, so that I don’t HAVE to come back as often and can work on overcoming my migrains and other aches and pains on my own terms. This level of care and compassion for patients is what is missing from western medicine and I’m so glad I found Dr. Andrea and Chillax Om. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!!
Evan G.

Dr. Renee is the Stress Whisperer as far as I’m concerned. I never feel the needles when she works on me, and I usually feel at least 30% better when I just walk into her space. She’s the real deal.
Tiare W.

Dr. Andrea Renee exceeded my every expectation in provided the care and individual attention necessary for successful treatments. She is a teacher by nature, providing a wealth of knowledge and mentoring throughout one’s journey for healing, mental clarity and balance for overall well-being. If I could give 20 stars, I would!

Maria Corona

Chillax Om is my little Saturday retreat, where I get to take a break from the world and the stresses of life for a little while to simply be and recalibrate my body and mind. Dr. Andrea always has me feeling right as rain when I leave her office. She is not only very skilled in helping with overall wellness through acupuncture, cupping, PEMF, and other treatments, but is also a kind and lovely person who truly cares about each person she serves. It is always a pleasure to just slow down at Chillax Om, sip on an herbal mocktail while chatting with Dr. Andrea and receiving stress and pain-relieving treatments. If you haven’t been to see her yet, seriously, GO!

Alyssa Alexander

Dr. Andrea is a delight! She is kind, thoughtful, and generous! Her Acu plus other offerings cover all things health, from physical to emotional and mental. I’ve been to many Acu practitioners over the years, and hers are the most effective. The space is beautiful, with lots of windows, a serene setting inside, and the packages are very reasonably priced. I love the walk-ins welcome option too!

Cami Smalley

Love Doc, she is a plethora of knowledge and she is quick to respond if you have a question. What a blessing it was to have her introduced into my life.
C. J.

Dr. Andrea of Chillax Om is a true gem in our mountain community. She’s an absolute wealth of knowledge and has such a genuine go-giver spirit. Not only is she a huge connector, but she’s also a pillar of support—constantly providing education, hosting community clinics, and going above and beyond to keep our community healthy. Her heart is enormous, and it shows in everything she does. She listens deeply, takes the time to understand what ails you, and works with you to live a life full of vitality and wellness. Simply put, she cares—and that makes all the difference.

Trang Janick

Andrea was amazing. She did acupuncture and it helped relieve most of my neck tension I felt so great that
whole day. She also recommended some tablets for my heart for only $10 which I think was a great deal.
She’s always available to answer any questions and is very patient and great.
Magaly

Dr. Andrea is wonderful! I had a skin issue I was dealing with along with stress and she did a great job of helping me out. All the while making sure she was addressing any other underlying concerns and working with my budget. Thank you!

Sam L.

Andrea has helped me tremendously to recover from some terrible injuries as well as the mental anguish that follows. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking recovery. She is extremely knowledgeable and has become someone of great trust, wisdom and insight, in addition, she is one of the finest human beings I have ever met.I would highly recommend her services!

David Poole

Dr. Andrea Renee is extremely knowledgeable in her field and shares with her patience ways to continue the healing process on your own. I participated in a body sculpture treatment, which was amazingly refreshing and I would highly recommend it, especially for a special occasion like a wedding or before or after a vacation because it helps you lose inches and helps with inflammation and bloating. My right leg and right arm, are larger then the left side, and I have then looking for reasons and ways to reduce the inflammation or water retention on the right side of my body. This body sculpture process helped both my leg and arm. It has been over a week since I’ve done the body sculpture and I am still feeling the benefits of the procedure. I highly recommend it if you are looking to lose inches.

Holly Worley

Renee is such a compassionate healer. This was exactly what I needed during a very stressful time. She works with so many different modalities, not just needles. She is also such a super gentle acupuncturist. It’s a nonpain approach all around. Thank you, Renee.
T. W.

I have had chronic back, hip, and sciatic pain for 20 plus year. Andrea is one of maybe five therapists that have helped me with pain and and quality of living. She is the only person I see and trust to do acupuncture on myself and my family. Her style of therapy and the different things she implements while doing acu like cupping, E-Stem, & red light therapy is so relaxing she has actually made me fall asleep during acu. It’s hard to believe but Trust me you will feel amazing and so relaxed after. Thanks for everything you do Andrea!!!

A truly life changing experience. After my first session was the first time I haven’t felt pain in a really long time. She goes beyond just acupuncture, but also gives herbal medicine recommendations and stretches to do that works with my every day life. I am so grateful I found her.

Hailey C.

Dr. Andrea Renee Rivera is one of the best educators when it comes to personal growth and alternative medicine. I have gained so much knowledge from her workshops that have literally changed how I approach my daily life. I highly recommend her services and workshops!

Maru Lozano

Dr Renee saved me from years of stiffness and discomfort. I never had acupuncture in the past, but after 4 treatments, my neck loosened in ways that even 10 years of yoga never accomplished. Her Chinese medicine has improved my internal health lowering my cholesterol and maintaining energy. Her thorough knowledge and her gift for explaining difficult concepts in simple ways is also greatly appreciated. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Own the Potential

Andrea has so much knowledge and professionalism, which she shows through her compassion and care for her clients. She has been incredibly helpful and made herself available to address all the concerns and questions that have come up during this process. I’m grateful for her help and commitment to her practice.

Dr. Renee uses her compassion and knowledge to provide outstanding treatments. My first treatment from her alleviated my severe pain coming from my hip. I was pain-free for a whole week and then have had only minor infrequent pain since.
Paul D.

My experience with Dr. Andrea Renee has been extremely amazing. She has helped me with neck, back and my battles with PTSD.
Though physical therapy and acupuncture.. I highly recommend her.
Elizabeth G.

I am so glad I’ve found Andrea Renee! I have been struggling from PMDD for many years and felt like I had tried everything. Andrea used acupuncture to help balance my hormones and after the first month of weekly treatments I had no pms symptoms at all. As I continue to go for maintenance, I feel better and better all the time. She has also given me great nutrition information and tips of relaxing to detress at home. I recommend her to everyone now! I’m pretty sure she saved my relationship! 😜 ❤️

Andrea did a great job treating my hip pain. In addition to the acupuncture treatment, she also helped me establish daily routines to help me recover faster and reduce my chances of getting injured again.

Marc Cimmino

Dr.Andrea is good. She gave me some exercise to do at home for my back pain and some Chinese herbs to
fight with my lack of iron in my pre menopause symptoms. Very useful. Thank you!
Monica

I started seeing Dr. Andrea after I was in a car accident and was suffering from chronic pain. After my first visit with her, I immediately started seeing improvements in my body. Dr. Andrea’s holistic approach helped heal, not just my body but my mind as well. She is extremely knowledgeable and provided me with loads of helpful information in addition to acupuncture and cupping during our appointments. In her words, I now have a great “wellness toolbox” to lean on when my pain flares up. Seeing her regularly and following her recommendations outside of our visits has had a wonderful positive impact on my well-being. I highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Andrea if you experience any sort of pain or stress.

Additionally, she is such a joy to be around! She hosts fun events and can be visited for free acupuncture sessions at the Evergreen Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays.

Amanda

Dr. Andrea’s knowledge and experience with acupuncture, overall well being and her love for community and connection are truly inspiring! I highly recommend her services to elevate your life!

Kristen H.

I had my first ever acupuncture facial with Dr. Renee in July 2019. I took before and after photos on my phone, and amazingly I could see a difference after one treatment! There was no pain whatsoever and while the needles were in, she gave me a neck massage. I suffer from TMJ and she showed me a pressure point to help relieve my tension. I was also instructed on a tongue placement to help relieve tension when I am not talking. I have used both techniques that she taught me on a regular basis. They work! Lastly, she taught me cupping techniques to use at home to further enhance the treatment. I ordered the cups for under $20 on Amazon. Dr. Renee has a lovely, kind and generous personality. I highly recommend an acupuncture facial with Dr. Renee.

“I had a sudden case of Bell’s Palsy and turned to Andrea for a myriad of treatments involving acupuncture and face message as well as light work. The results were noticeable as the muscles in my face were awakened and the swelling decreased. Happy to say it is back to normal in a matter of weeks. She is very positive and welcoming healer who also offers helpful education on what her therapies do. I love to know about my body and how it functions. She often offers free acupuncture to those intrigued or not sure of the process. Check it out!”
