Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting ultra-fine needles at specific points to balance energy flow, improve circulation, and stimulate natural healing. This treatment addresses chronic pain, stress, and systemic imbalances while promoting overall wellness. Patients often experience physical relief combined with mental clarity and emotional balance through regular sessions.
SAAT Allergy Treatment
Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) uses a single ear needle to reprogram immune responses, reducing allergy symptoms by 80-95% in one session. Effective for food, environmental, and chemical sensitivities, this non-invasive method provides long-lasting relief without pharmaceutical dependence through targeted auricular acupuncture points.
Herbal Therapy
Customized herbal formulations using plant, mineral, and animal-based ingredients restore bodily balance and address specific health concerns. These time-tested remedies support immune function, hormonal regulation, and organ system optimization while minimizing side effects through personalized constitutional matching and modern quality standards.
Facial Rejuvenation
Microneedling and acupuncture techniques stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity for natural facial rejuvenation. This non-surgical treatment reduces fine lines, enhances skin tone, and promotes circulation while addressing underlying imbalances that contribute to premature aging through holistic internal-external synergy.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping creates localized suction to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and remove metabolic waste from tissues. This therapy effectively addresses chronic pain, sports injuries, and respiratory conditions by restoring qi circulation and reducing inflammation through traditional glass cup application techniques.

I have been going to Satori for years I have arthritis in my back, neck and hips. I have been able to keep the pain under control without meds! I recommend her to all my friends and anyone else who will listen. They also have had relief from various problems. Give it a chance. You will not be sorry.

I had my first visit with Comfort Acupuncture today and Torrie greeted me with a friendly smile and "So nice to meet you!" Personable and very endearing. Satori Poch gave me all the time I needed and explained every piece of the process, including accurate assessments of my problems and conditions. She was kind and gentle. The treatment was soothing and for the most part painless. Her encouragement has inspired me to continue to come as I am certain this will help.

Kristina Allred is a skilled acupuncturist who went "the extra mile" to know me as a person as well as a patient. Attention to both makes for a superior health care experience.

Best Acupunture office in a great location of Richmond, I would highly recommend! I have been seeing Satori Poch for some time. She has helped me with some running injuries. I have been going for my back with great results! The entire team is pleasant and create a positive environment.

Satori has helped me on a long healing journey caused by Lyme disease. I attribute much of my recovery not only to Satori's masterful knowledge of acupuncture and herbs, but also her kind, professional yet incredibly compassionate presence. She deeply listens to current symptoms, and follows up on what was going on with me during our last session. Her detailed, organized record keeping ensures that nothing falls through the cracks. Comfort acupuncture is an ideal, cozy and safe space to jumpstart the healing process. I recommend it to anyone looking for the best acupuncture in Richmond!

Comfort Acupuncture and their staff are attentive knowledgeable and courteous. I have been to various acupuncturists in Richmond, VA and California and Satori is by far the most skilled in diagnosis and treatments. I highly recommend her to family and friends.

The services offered at this establishment treat the entire person. They look at the root of the problem to eliminate the cause of an issue rather than just treating the symptoms. The office is very nice and clean. Satori is very skilled in helping you to understand what is happening in your body and the treatment plan. It has only been a short time but I noticed the difference after the first session.

Be prepared for multiple sessions for the best results. Prices are around the going rate for individual sessions. I have been pleased with my results thus far. I only have one negative comment: I wish the price for acupuncture was less expensive or they offered some type of discount for returning clients. Due to the cost factor, I am giving 4 stars but Satori is great and I recommend her. She can definitely help you with most conditions.

I have been seeing Satori for over 3 years, now and words can't express how wonderful she is! Since I have been seeing Satori for anxiety/ stress management, my attacks have dramatically decreased along with my stress level. The amount of information that I have learned from Satori about my condition has taught me how to achieve optimum health. Satori's background is unique to other acupuncturist that I have visited, because she has extensive knowledge in both western and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Every treatment that I have, she goes out of her way to take her time and listen to my concerns. I have referred my family and friends to Satori as well.

I started seeing Satori for help with trigger finger. Well, who would have known that the treatment would fix issues with my neck and arm which I had been having for years! I also started sleeping better. She also prescribed herbs and teas which were really helpful in my everyday life. I appreciate most of all that Satori listens to her patients and takes the time to understand what is going on not only physically but with life in general. Satori is truly gifted in the practice of Chinese medicine.
