Sage Health

This isn't a day spa, so know what you're walking into. This is an older office building, entrance is around back. Parking is easy. My first issue: no working restroom. Before an hour long "relaxing" treatment it's hard to relax if I didn't have a restroom. Staff had no recourse. I was told I'd need to drive to the local grocery store!

My husband got a massage, and had pretty tepid review (fine, not great). I got a facial, which was new for me. I didn't find it relaxing (constant ticking timer going off, foul smelling creams). I don't think I'll be back to this facility. I'm told they are best for chiropractics. Staff was perfectly friendly and kind, but ambiance and facilities weren't what I hoped for.

I had been looking for a new chiropractor in the area who took my insurance and had gone to a couple of places and had horrible experiences. Once I saw Dr Sarah McKay I knew I had found my new chiropractor! She is amazing at getting me unstuck, and I trust her to adjust my kids as well! The front staff are so nice, and the massage therapists are amazing as well.

Everyone at Sage Health are so nice & friendly. They know me by name which is a nice personal touch and I always get greeted right when I walk in. I've been to all the chiropractors in the office and they are all great and listen to your needs and help you get to the root of your pain issue. The massage are fantastic, I highly recommend Vanessa! I love having my monthly membership.

Sage Health is amazing! From the front desk staff to the chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists. I cannot say enough positive things. Very friendly and welcoming and so knowledgeable and experienced. Not to mention that my area of concern for over 2 years has been relieved in just over a month at Sage Health while little difference noted at another facility!

Ah, Dr. Sage and her team changed my life. Two years ago, I started having severe headaches, never having a history of such. My doctor pointed out the obvious: stress, and told me that I could reduce the causes of stress, but. I held so much stress bound in my skeletal-muscular system that I could not release that stress by myself. I would need deep tissue massage. Knowing that my insurance covered chiropractic and some associated therapies I searched for a group that included deep tissue massage. Sage Health looked good and close by. Dr. Sage patiently explained how chiropractic, massage, and other therapies worked.

Although new to me, it made enough sense to move forward. I felt the progress build: immediate muscle relief, better relaxion, sleep, and gradually lessened episodes of the headaches. Over a few months, I realized that I was a new person much better equipped for the stressful job (executive chef in a large hospital system) to which I was committed. I continue monthly maintenance appointments and am grateful for the deep connection with Dr. Sage and her team and the value they bring me in the quality of my life.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sage for years and I highly recommend her for chiropractic, acupuncture and massage treatments! The chirosage is a personal favorite, which is a massage followed by an adjustment. I utilize the massage services on a regular basis and the massage staff is top notch! Did I mention the esthetician's? Yep you can get facials too and they are amazing! Just go and check it out for yourself, you won't be sorry!

Dr Sage is an angel! I can't do the cracking, so she does other therapy that helps my neck & back so much! Her staff is super nice and always work with my crazy schedule to get me in, and I rarely if ever have to wait. If you sign up to get texts, they'll also text you when a massage therapist is giving a special on a massage. I highly recommend!

I've come in every week consistently for almost three months and never had an issue or complained about wait time. Up until this point everyone has been super friendly. However today when I was running late I was met with nothing but hostility on the other end of the phone that made me rethink how much everyone here cares about patients. On top of being treated rudely for letting them know I was running 5-10 minutes late due to an accident on the freeway, receptionist Nikki cancelled my appointment even though I called beforehand.

A majority of the time i'm waiting 10-15 minutes before being seen (mostly for an appointment that lasts maybe ten minutes), so I thought this was pretty extreme given i've seen them grant leeway to other patients who arrive late while I've been there. Kristen is nice and seems to genuinely care, which is why this review is not 1 star-- however until today it was a five star review. Nikki on the phones needs some more training. At the end of the day I come in to help my pain and stress, not add more on, and this experience will prevent me from returning.

I'm so glad I found this place. I originally came in for sciatic pain and had always been interested in Acupuncture but never dare tried it. This place is phenomenal not only for Acupuncture, but I have been to a terrific Chiropractor and just recently had my first massage all in the same company. I cannot recommend Aimee Holdwick, Sara Mackay, or Donna A!

These women are so intelligent, friendly, observant, and overall amazing. You need to check out Sage Health! I will not go anywhere else. The place is perfect for all your needs and I can't thank them enough for working with me and listening to all my complaints.

I recently threw out my back and was barley able to move, I tried everything to manage the pain on my own at home but after a week I could not take the pain any more. That's when I found Sage Health and Dr. Cristina Sanniola! After just the first visit I have almost full range of motion again. I am sore but that is to be expected, and I know I will see more improvement as I continue treatment. Thank you Dr. Sanniola, you saved my back!

Individualized care ~ Dr. Mackay's experience is exemplified in her broad knowledge and recommendations for long term health.

Sage health is great! Love dr Sage. She is very knowledgeable and only treats what is needed. I've seen too many chiropractors that over do it. DONNA is an awesome massage therapist! I've had a lot of massages over the years and she is truly a great find. Very firm and confident hands. She knew just where I needed to be worked on. Very intuitive.

Kristen Sage is an incredible chiropractor, utilizing other modalities such as acupuncture and massage if desired. The office is friendly and super clean, all virus precautions are in place. Donna is their new masseuse and she is amazing! She blends Swedish, trigger point, Lomi-Lomi and Thai massage to give you the relief you need.

Much of healing starts with the people you surround yourself with--kind, supportive, calming and positive. Therefore, the healing for me started the moment I walked in the door to Sage Health. You are greeted by such people here and the healing doesn't stop there. Dr. Sage had me at hello. Not only does she understand the body, but she listens to your body's specific needs.

My body aches and pains are unique to me and she treats them without over doing or under doing it. She gives great gentle and mindful adjustments, along with amazing massages that compliment the adjustment. Relief at last. The other staff members are also amazing in their specific techniques(massage, acupuncture, facials, and receptionists) making it a supportive and like minded environment of holistic healing.

Every time I go in, I learn something new about my body because the knowledge is shared and discussed with me for optimal results. Thank you Sage Health! Love, Erica (member and patient since 2016)

Dr Sage is amazing! I've wanted to write this review for a long time! Dr. Sage is truly ONE OF A KIND. I have gone to many healers in the past decade of my life. Something around 150 chiropractors, accupuncture and holistic wellness doctors. When we talk about experience with this industry of doctors I can say I definitely have it. With that being said: Doctor Sage is THE BEST healer I have EVER MET!

I am healing from Lyme disease and have been very sick and extreme pain some days. I kid you not- I walk into Sages offices feeling like I'm dying a 3/10 pain level, and walk out already feeling better 5/10. Every single time I am feeling better by evening 10/10. She's so amazing! Not only is she a miraculous healer but she is one of the kindest humans. She's so smart.

Always wanting to learn and help. And she's FLEXIBLE- A lot of days she's booked back to back with no room for Appointments but she has stayed late or found a way to get me into her schedule if possible. This women is a angel here on earth I can't say enough great things about. She has truly inspired me to eventually go to school and be a healer as well. So moral of this post after 150 healers, I have found the best chiropractic/ acupuncturist! Thanks Dr Sage!

Great staff, great facility. Love the acupuncturists here. They are phenomenal! They really care about what is going on and take time to really understand how you are doing before and after each treatment.

I am enjoying my chiropractic adjustment sessions with Dr. Helaine Shpritz. Her schedule is available to me overall. She communicates about my needs. I also appreciate that she's willing to try new techniques in a safe environment. So far, I'm happy with the services at Sage wellness as well as the front office team.

This place is awesome! The service was exceptional, the atmosphere is very relaxing and my facial with Julie was absolutely a bliss! My skin looks so radiant that I don't even want to put any make up on! I highly recommend! Huge thumbs up!

I was here visiting the area for a few days and was experiencing back pain and muscle spasms and found Sage Health on Yelp while looking for massage therapy. I was impressed with all the good reviews they received and even though it was early and the office wasn't open, I was able to make an appointment online (love this option) that afternoon for a 90 minute massage.

My massage therapist was Michael R. and he was fantastic! He's a big guy and I hoped he wouldn't be too firm but he asked what pressure I wanted and delivered just the right touch. It was one of the best massages I've ever received! He used different techniques to try to give me the best therapy for my situation. I left feeling no pain and have not had any back spasms since. Thanks for a great experience, Sage Health and Michael!

I cannot say enough about the Sage Health wellness team. Dr. Sage is a true healer and saved my life, literally! I was experiencing a lot of back pain during pregnancy and was happy to find someone that could help. She not only kept me in alignment and out of pain but my safety was always of upmost concern. At one point she took my blood pressure which was high and told me to call my OB right away.

I did and was advised to go to the hospital immediately. Turns out I had preeclampsia and needed to deliver asap or it could have been fatal for me and the baby. It was traumatic to say the least but turned out ok and everyone is healthy. She even called me in the hospital to check on me. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Sage for always going above and beyond!

I tried to schedule for the upcoming week when I originally called (to avoid added stress of limited appts). I was told by Liz it would be fine. That is not the case. Appts are harder to come by than I thought (and than I am used to ). Worst though, and the reason I'm leaving this review is that Nikki, after my appt, (and receiving a deeply needed massage (that was great) threw even more paper work at me (the first round was confusing enough!

It was printed out with little ink so hard to read) and without instructions as to what it referred to with sections of symptoms. I was feeling horrible when I went in, and did not need added stress. With an EMF sensitivity that was killing me that day, after my massage treatment, (and the first relief I have had in a long time of pain), Nikki badgered me for MORE INFO even after the additional paperwork, prefacing it (for formality sake only) "I'm sorry to bother you even more") asking me to give her the adjuster's info (which Id already called my insurance and then called to provide to Liz!) They already had it. Then, she found some of it in front of her. Nikki knew full well I have a serious EMF issue and that day it was really bad.

I had to turn on my phone to give it to her.when ALL I wanted was to stay relaxed and pain free for as long as possible. After the phone was off, she actually then asked me if I happen to have their address, too. She spoiled any desire right then that I had to return. Perhaps in her training, they should instill a --genuine-- sense of empathy. Her demeanor seemed subtlely agitated toward me at the office as if how dare someone come in there feeling truly awful and not uplift her mood.

I am not coming back. What a shame. I really got a sense that I would like Dr Spritz, who seems thoroughly genuine and empathetic enough for both of them. No-one wants unnecessary stress added to their lives, especially those of us with adrenal fatigue, etc. We go to heal, not be bombarded with an office's disorganization and lack of genuine care by staff.

Love coming here to see Dr. Sage for my monthly maintenance adjustment. She's the most sweetest and professional person you can meet. Her staff is great and always greet you by first name when you come in which makes this office feel more personalized because they take the opportunity to get to know their clientele. I always recommend people to come here when they ask for a chiropractic referral. They have additional services like massages and acupuncture. They take insurance or private pay.

Dr. Sage deserves all of these rave reviews! She is such a kind-hearted person who is one of the most talented and effective Chiropractors I have ever received treatment from (and I've experienced 10+ years of all different types of healing modalities). She is the real deal! Dr. Sage has found misalignments missed by other professionals and with a simple, subtle and precise adjustment she instantly changes my life.

She truly finds the deeper and root cause of pain. The collective at Sage Health is the perfect combination to relieve pain and suffering in order for you to live a pain-free life too. Highly Recommended!

I've always had back pain and thought it was normal pain as we age. Dr. Sage found out that my left leg was shorter by 1 inch and my head tilted forward by 15 degrees! Along with my left shoulder not having a full range of motion, my hips were also rotated slightly to the right! Well Dr. Sage did this "active release" method which sounds like an impact wrench on my back. She then gave me exercises for me to do on a foam roller. Thank you Dr. Sage for fixing my back every time I knock it out of place.

Doctor Sage is THE BEST! I've seen several chiropractors in the Encinitas area over the last 16 years and none can compare (if any of you happen to be reading this. sorry/not sorry). Not only does she really show she cares about your health and happiness, but her entire team of massage therapists, acupunturists, and office team all treat you the same as well. It's so nice to walk in, be known by name, be asked how you are (with genuine care and concern), and to be treated promptly and professionally every time. Thanks Sage Health for being so rad!

Came in for the first time a few weeks ago with an awful back spasm, and in lots of pain. Dr. Sage did a fantastic, detailed examination and adjusted me appropriately. She also took the time to show me and explain why I may be feeling pain/experiences symptoms based on my spine misalignment. She's very detail oriented, professional, and kind. listening to my concerns and addressing them each visit. Needless to say, any time after a visit, I feel my pain is alleviated. my muscle spasm issues improved within 48 hours.

Great office staff who are friendly and always remember my name, greeting me with a smile. If you're looking for a more holistic, natural approach to pain management and wellness. Sage Wellness is the place to go!

I love coming to Sage Health and Wellness! It's one stop shopping where I can get incredible massages, acupuncture, and chiropractic services. I always leave feeling good.

I do not even know where to start to write this review as I just adore Dr. Sage. I have worked for a couple of chiropractors for about 8 years and when it came time to find one for myself and my husband I went online and read the bio on Dr. Sage and thought I would give her a try. Dr. Sage has helped me acheive my optimal health through her expertise and knowledge in both chiropracic and wellness.

She does not push any of her products that she sells in her office and she always makes you feel comfortable when you are there. She address all your needs and her kind approach makes it a delight to go to her! She is very knowledable in all aspects of health. I am so glad I found her!

Awesome team and awesome services! A true "Wellness One Stop Shop". Dr Sage has always fixed me up when I'm in pain using every modality at her disposal. Love this place!

I am a new patient with Sage Health and want to say it has been the most positive experience from day one! The staff are welcoming warm and professional and Dr Sage is the real deal. Her approach to chiropractic care is all inclusive and you truly feel and are assessed and treated as an individual as opposed to so many other practices where it seems like a "cookie cutter" approach.

The inclusion of massage therapy for the healing process is supported and provided on site. I am the first of my family to begin at Sage but have already schedule my son, a baseball player, and know he will benefit from this chiropractic treatment. I highly recommend Sage Health!

Dr. Sage reads bodies expertly and has a gentle yet effective approach. Her office provides much more than standard back adjustments, in fact every visit for me includes some form of muscle loosening (massage and/or heat). The office takes a holistic angle with massage and acupuncture professionals available too.

Thank you Kirsten, for keeping us healthy and walking more upright and proud! One thing I really appreciate is you helping Makoa and Koji. Makoa (7th) lugs around this 20lb backpack throughout the day (thanks to no more lockers in the schools) plus his instrument. Seriously, if he didn't get adjusted, he'd be a mess in a few years! He feels the difference too! Thanks Kirsten!
