In my Campbell acupuncture clinic, I provide holistic treatments tailored to your unique needs. I use acupuncture, bodywork, herbal prescriptions, nutrition, breathwork, Qigong and shamanic ceremony to heal body, mind and soul.
I will often make specific dietary and supplement recommendations, and provide you with home Qigong breathing and moving exercises for health and vitality.
My treatments support physical and emotional well-being. Many of my patients turn to East Asian medicine not only for relief from pain and illness, but also for preventive care and long-term vitality.
What a patient can expect
An acupuncture session with me is more than just a physical treatment—it’s a process of healing and self-discovery. My approach addresses both the physical symptoms and the deeper meaning behind illness, helping you reconnect with your body, mind, and life purpose. In this video I explain the different stages of treatment you can expect as a new patient
.
As a Chinese who grew up with and experienced many Chinese healing modalities, Adam and Kelly are magic. I had been searching for the alignment with my physical body, emotional body, and spiritual body, as I felt stuck in my physical body and procrastination with my emotions before seeing Adam. He has one of the most authentic hearts, compassionate, patient, courageous, intuitive, and artfully skillful. I felt the difference right away in the first session. He truly takes a stand for healing for my best interests. Kelly is also very loving and intuitively knowing. This is the third time I saw him, he literally put the power back to me and invited me to listen to my body and make decision from there. I feel empowered, renewed and energized to be who I am.
Best Acupuncturist I ever met! Adam Atman is. Outstanding. He has helped me so much with my many health issues. Celebrate this Spring with this amazing and professional healer. Thank you Adam! Blessings to you and your team!
Adam is, simply, the best. I have been a patient of his since 2000 after meeting him at a health fair my company held. He did not pressure me to "must see" him. We talked for about 5 or so minutes and before leaving him he handed me his card and said, "next time you're sick, give me a call". And that has led to this 25 year relationship of Adam and his genius. Be prepared for greatness; Adam's and yours.
I have been doing acupuncture for close to 2 decades and Adam is by far the best! I highly recommend Adam.
Worked with Adam for six months last year to deal with a case of Coccidiodomycosis (Valley Fever), a fungal infection in the lungs, that I had contracted in early 2024. . He helped to restore my energy and bring healing to my ancillary functions over the course of six treatments. My western doctor did not recommend any anti-fungal medication for this chronic illness -- which had made me sleep for three months and then be lethargic for months afterwards -- since my case was not so dire as to require a strong prescription medicine for a cure., Adam's treatments and recommendations for diet and breathing exercises were vital aspects for the restoration of my ability to function again in our busy society and were of great help to overcome the nagging fatigue I was experiencing every day. My condition was something that western medicine could not easily manage, but Adam had the wisdom, abilities, and tools to help treat me in a wholistic and fulfilling manner. Adam is quite brilliant with the healing work he does, and I highly recommend his services.
Adam is a true healer. Knowledgeable and intuitive about diseases, bodies, and the art of healing.
I have been seeing Adam for over 10 years, and my health has been better because of his treatments. Adam is a true healer. His technics work and are individualized to his patients. Love going to see him.
I have had the pleasure of working with Adam for few years now, and I recommend his services to anyone seeking effective and compassionate care in acupuncture, Qigong, herbal medicine, and other traditional Chinese treatments. His approach combines knowledge, skillful technique, and sincere empathy. From back pain to allergies and anything in between he's done his magic where no other doctors could pinpoint the problem for years. I can't see him as often as I used to since I moved out of California but any chance I get to go back there , he's on top of my "to do" list.
I have consulted with Adam long back for a shoulder pain I had. He was very knowledgeable and approaches the problem in a wholistic manner. The acupuncture and herbal healing sessions were some of the best I had. I fully recommend him for anyone looking for alternative therapies.
My husband feels that Adam saved his life years ago when the standard care we got at Kaiser was great for some things but did not give my husband what he needed. Adam knew what to do for my husband. .Adam was also extremely kind and supportive when I injured my shoulder and years later when I had cancer. Acupuncture worked for my shoulder when the doctor had just told me to eat Motrin. Adam restored the mobility for my shoulder. Adam also helped a friend signiificantly when she had very terrible morning sickness and he gave her a homeopathic remedy that should be available for everyone with morning sickness, it worked quickly and she was soon back on her feet.
I just wanted to thank you Adam for all you have done to help our son. We have seen great improvement with the treatments you have performed. Sincerely grateful.
For the past two years, I have been working with Adam, receiving acupuncture and Chinese herbal support, and the impact on my healing journey has been profound. He has helped me process and release deep-level trauma, supporting me mentally, physically, and emotionally. His center is a truly safe and nurturing space where healing unfolds naturally, allowing energy to flow more freely. Beyond acupuncture and herbal medicine, I have recently begun studying Qigong with him, and it has been another transformative experience. Adam’s depth of knowledge, intuitive approach, and compassionate presence make him an exceptional healer and teacher. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking deep healing and personal growth.
Adam is an exceptional acupuncturist who also specializes in Qigong and herbal medicine. He truly cares about his clients—highly recommended if you live in Santa Clara, CA!
While Adam is an exceptional acupuncturist, that really is the least of his magical capabilities. Me and my husband went to Adam 3 years back for issues stemming from chronic inflammation. We of course saw it in a very isolated way, as did most western medicine doctors we went to. What Adam did was open up the door to self awareness for both of us- helping us realize that so much of our bodily issues arise from stagnated emotions. While this might sound woo-woo, it is anything but. I’m a mainstream scientist by profession and what I experienced with Adam completely changed my approach to how I view the body, my health and wellness. We continued our treatment with him for well over a year. If you’re experiencing any health challenges, and I mean any, go see him. But even if you’re not, make that visit. He might turn out to be that guide you’ve been waiting for, to help you ‘see’ yourself more clearly!
Adam has been a life savior to me....... Helped me with chronic pain and cancer and allergies...... I see hm as much as possible and at least onec every 3 weeks.. He has changed my life in so many ways..... I recommend Adam …..
Adam has healed me In my family many times. I’m very grateful to him.
Adam is an amazing resource in the Bay Area. He went far beyond my expectations by providing therapies I didn’t know existed and teaching techniques that I could do at home to solve pain I’ve had my whole life but is intensifying with age. The stretches he taught me helped far more than PT. He listens intently and is a compassionate practitioner.
Adam was a big part of getting my health right.
One of the things I greatly appreciate about Adam Atman is that he treats the whole person. He is interested not only in his patients' physical well being, but he is also interested in his patients' emotional, mental, and spiritual well being. He looks after the whole person. He is masterful with his use of acupuncture to heal the body.
I've been fortunate to experience Adam's exceptional acupuncture firsthand through dozens of sessions. He's not only a brilliant acupuncturist, but also possesses a profound understanding of energy principles, Qigong, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Over the years, I've witnessed his remarkable skill in pulse diagnosis, allowing him to precisely identify the organs or channels requiring the most attention. Beyond that, Adam has an incredible intuitive sense that goes far beyond the ordinary. What truly sets Adam apart is his ability to analyze the root causes of chronic ailments, traumas, recurring behavioral patterns, and even addictions. His deep wisdom regarding the interconnectedness of the body is consistently surprising and insightful. Adam is also dedicated to continuous learning, integrating complementary therapies and modern technologies to enhance and accelerate healing. He has gone deep in esoteric practices like Baguazhang and holotropic breathwork, demonstrating a commitment to mastering his craft that goes far beyond theoretical knowledge. He's a true practitioner, investing significant time and energy into honing his skills. I've gained so much from Adam! He's been my trusted resource for physical well-being, and also a mentor and guide who has profoundly supported my holistic wellness journey and spiritual growth. For that, I am deeply grateful and wholeheartedly recommend him.
Adam Atman is the most beneficial healing practicioner I have ever found. He knows how to heal both the body and the spirit, as the spirit is frequently the source of our problems. He finds and treats the roots of problems, instead of just the symptoms. He uses ancient techniques to heal the whole person, instead of just parts of someone. He cares for his patients at all levels of their being, instead of just the aspects we can see. His awareness and healing go deeply into many dimensions, instead of just into our physical selves. Personally, I have found that Adam has completely and permanently changed my life by helping me: -- reverse a crippling process with early childhood roots, which others called spinal injury and arthritis -- change from being unable to function to productive again -- 'recover' from depression and find joy in life again -- be guided from being unconscious of an abused early childhood to becoming conscious and healing -- resolve physical addictions and thrive in health - by prescribing Chinese herbs rather than pharmaceutical medications -- understand my lifelong efforts to 'escape' emotional pain (through my work, medications, books, and movies), by enhancing my spirit's awareness, which has allowed me to make my own choices -- change from continually seeking 'comfort' to accepting life's balance Adam has been able to accomplish these complex levels of healing in me by: -- applying his mastery of medical qi gong -- utilizing his sophisticated applications of acupuncture -- invoking both touch and non-touch tui na massage and healing -- calling upon his own deep spiritual awareness -- and by sharing his own personal multi-dimensional healing energies. His treatment of me as his patient has also included: -- instructing me in specific qi gong exercises -- tailoring Chinese herbs to the individual -- prescribing inner Taoist meditation practices as taught by Bruce Frantzis -- and providing numerous lifestyle and nutritional modifications. More than just having studied with the best of teachers and the most compassionate of healers, Adam has profoundly developed himself personally for 30 years, to reach a level of awareness and healing for his patients that is rarely found. I remain eternally grateful for Adam Atman's lifelong dedication to healing, his compassion for all beings, and his generous gifts of help, heart, and health - all of which I have not found with any other healing practitioner.
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!
Adman isn't just your basic acupuncturist but a healer. He has a kind, warm, and caring spirit. I went to see him for some hormonal changes as well as to improve my overall well-being. Adam always spends more time then necessary to address whatever the issue is. I never feel rushed. He provides lots of very interesting information about the body and how Chinese medicine works. He always explains what he is doing. His office is very nice, clean, calming and each room has its own theme. I now look forward to my visits as each one has it's own experience.
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!
Adam Atman is a highly educated & amazingly intuitive acupuncturist. He also teaches wonderful gigong classes @ his center. His Los Gatos QiGong & Acupuncture Center offers a variety of healing modalities, workshops & classes that facilitate - wellness.
Adam is the most effective healing arts practitioner I have ever been treated by. His ability to zero in on what the issues are that are affecting your health is unparalleled in my own personal experience. He is a man of immense compassion and total devotion to the service of his patients. He is totally open to whatever works and freely offers nutritional advice as well as guidance for daily living. I can't say enough about Adam. We are very fortunate such a talented and selfless person providing a much needed service in Silicon Valley.
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!
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.
I have been working with Adam for a little over two years, and I have come to rely on him as my primary health care professional. Whether it's muscular tension, job stress, midlife changes or a cough that just won't go away, Adam has been able to help. What I like most about Adam's practice is that he is not just a capable acupuncturist and herbalist. If necessary, he will employ moxibustion, energy healing, and cupping along with soft tissue work, should it be required. I also never fail to leave with a list of manageable lifestyle or dietary recommendations to support and continue the healing benefits of his treatments. Adam is comfortable partnering with other health care professionals, be it Western medical doctors, chiropractors or massage therapists. He is immensely respectful of where I am in my journey, regardless of whether I'm ready for a big leap or the next baby step in my life. I have recommended him to several friends, clients, and colleagues, and they have also been pleased with the care and attention they received.
Go see Adam! If you have never done acupuncture, GO SEE ADAM! This man is beyond talented and beyond words. If you have been scared to try acupuncture, Go See Adam. If you have not idea what acupuncture can do, Go see Adam. If you have any ailment, pain, drippy nose, stress, depression, start with Adam.
I have been seeing Adam for the last 6 months and he has been a big help with my stomach issues, diet, back issues and anxiety. He offers a vast array of knowledge from The Eastern medical world and is a very caring, compassionate and kind. I would recommend him to anyone looking for alternatives to Western medicine and feel that he has been a big help.
I love Adam. He gives everybody the time needed. He also comes with a lot of different tools to the table to help heal your back. The best Acupuntrist I have ever gone to.
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.
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.
My husband feels that Adam saved his life when he had colitis so serious that he was not getting nourishment from his food. Adam stabilized him and his body put on not only weight but also muscle. When I had cancer, Adam not only gave me incredible support but also checked herbal supplements I was using to make sure there were no counter-indications with the medication I was being prescribed so I had the benefit of a variety of anti-cancer herbs in addition to the acupuncture and traditional treatment I received. He was tuned in to treat me personally not just one more patient.
I was referred to Adam from a family friend and I've been coming to Adam for over a month now. He is truly a gem and a healer in every sense of the word. My son was diagnosed with epilepsy not too long ago and dealing with intense anxiety. Adam specializes in addressing health issues that not only stop at physical concerns, but mental, emotional and spiritual concerns. I have many health ailments including anemia, chronic migraines, dizziness and emotionally I had a lot of trauma and heaviness from my past toxic marriage. Adam provided a safe space for us to be healed through all his practice. He is very genuine, sincere and very easy to talk to. Most importantly, he has gone above and beyond to help my son heal physically, mentally and emotionally, and since I have gone to him, I've felt better with every session. Adam is a very intuitive healer and he can sense emotional pains in places you've tried to hide it for years. I will continue to see Adam for as long as we need and would HIGHLY recommend him.
This review is belated, as my family and I, have consulted Adam over the years. I've not left a review because I want to save him all for myself :-), but I realize that he'd like to run his business and I saw some negative reviews here, which made me want to defend my favorite acupuncturist/healer/therapist/herbologist in the Bay Area. The first time I consulted him was in 2013, and it was for my 7 year old son suffering from knee pains, that regular doctors kept talking about as "normal growing pains". It was frustrating to hear my kid in pain and feed him painkillers, so I wanted to try some alternative therapy. A friend gave a glowing review for Adam, so I thought I'll give him a try. So, I take my son in, and Adam puts him at ease immediately with his friendly talk. Considering he was going to stick a bunch of needles on a toddler, this is not an easy task, but he managed to do just that. I had TONS of questions which he answered patiently, and Adam even tried a foot bath for my son, made him do some yoga postures, prescribed medicines and gave a PAGE full of advice on how to handle these pains without resorting to Children's Mortrin. I was super suspicious about feeding my kid herbs that I did not know the ingredients of, and Adam silenced the skeptic in me by painstakingly explaining EACH ingredient on EACH unpronouncable medicine. I quickly realized this man is a treasure trove of knowledge. To my surprise, AFTER my sons' 1-1.5 hour appointment was over, I got a complimentary appointment!!?! Not really sure how that happened, but if you have the fortune of getting to know Adam and he doesn't have a line of people waiting(I was luckily the last appointment of the day), this may happen to you, as Adam is NOT a regular doctor AT ALL. He treats his patients with UTMOST kindness and will give you 10 hours if he could 🙂 I was so surprised that he started finding out about my aches and pains and diagnosing them, that I quickly came back a week or two later for my own appointment. I mean, who does that? A GP will not even let you ask another question for your family besides the patient he is treating in these days and times. The thing with Adam is, he REALLY CARES! WOW! I did not respond very well to acupuncture, I got woozy the first time, not sure why but Adam proceeded to do accupressure massages for me, and those were heavenly. Adam is NOT at all traditional in his approach, he is so knowledgeable about healing therapies that he will do what it takes to make you fit as a fiddle! He is most non-judgemental and you can talk to him about anything. Sometimes he surprises me by touching a nerve center and telling me what is troubling me in my life! He is so insightful, that it's spooky! Flash forward to 2018, and MANY of my friends and family have enjoyed visiting Adam's clinic. They all think he's a rockstar so I am not the only one! In any case, fan for life!
Adam Atman is a phenomenal healer that I have been working with for nearly a year now to help open my heart chakra and move blocked energy through my bandhas. Adam's expertise spans acupuncture, plant medicine, qigong, and spirituality across the cultures. I am very blessed to have been guided to Dr. Atman.
Adam and his team are amazing healers. Put a stop to the western medicine machine sending sending sending pharma to our houses now and get an appointment with Adam and his team. They are top of the class for holistic healing that works. Highly highly recommend!
Wow! Adam is a gifted healer! Within a short amount of time he identified my ailments some of which I wasn't even aware of. His approach includes physical, mental and emotional concerns and he addresses them with compassion and competence. I highly recommend Adam and his team if you want to be living your best life!
It's pretty hard to describe what Adam truly is, he is not one of these typical run of the mill Acupucture places every time I leave there I feel completely transformed. My soul gets fed, my life feels happy. I've been going through the most difficult things a person could ever go through yet after a session I'm happy and light. Laughter and joy is in my heart when it shouldn't be. His techniques are incredible and his wisdom indispensable . He is kind, he is caring truly a good person. It's a transformative experience and even a logical, science based person like me thinks of it as spiritual experience.
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.
I have been seeing Adam for the last couple of years. I just finished a round of Chinese herbs he specially formulated for me. I have suffered of hormonal migraines for the past 15 years and after taking his formula for 30 days, I had my first migraine free menstrual cycle. Adam is a gifted and highly intuitive healer and by far the most competent herbalist I've ever worked with. I highly recommend him!
