I arrived at Sage Wellness Within in a lot of pain and uncertainty. I was met with profound kindness and true expertise. The moment I walked into the office, I knew I was in the most excellent hands and I knew I could finally relax and receive what I needed. Dr. Thorpe’s care and insight runs deep. I came with one issue that Andrea quickly and masterfully helped me heal. I will stay as her client now to keep balance, health and wellness abundant in my life. If you are looking for the marriage of compassion, wisdom and practical healing solutions in an acupuncturist, look no further. –Heidi R
It is an understatement when I say Dr. Thorpe has forever changed my life! Andrea has made me look at my health in a new and hopeful perspective. She has helped me dramatically improve my autoimmune diseases and regain agency and control over my life. Andrea is so compassionate, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable about how the body works as a system. I completely trust her and mean it when I say I can now never move away from LA! –Shira M
I do not know what I would have done without Dr. Andrea Thorpe over the last year. She is without a doubt a very talented acupuncturist, but in addition, she has been a calming force counseling me through the IVF process. Andrea has a way of explaining the process better than most and she has helped me stay focused during each delay and set-back along the way. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with infertility or any long-term health challenge because Dr. Thorpe is able to keep patients positive and motivated even when progress is slow and the journey is challenging. –T M
Andrea is a gifted healer and truly knowledgeable about all she’s doing. She was able to connect what was happening in my life with what was happening in my body almost instantaneously and know the way to help achieve relief and healing from the inside out. Andrea ‘demands’ results, as she says - not resting until she’s isolated what’s happening and can treat accordingly. She’s a beautiful person inside and out and after years of pain and confusion, working with Andrea has changed my life. –Alison W
Dr. Andrea Thorpe at Sage Wellness Within has been invaluable resource to my wife and I during our struggles with conceiving. Besides being an intuitive acupuncturist, Andrea has become an essential sounding board for us as we work within the scary Fertility Industrial Complex. We would no doubt be lost and confused without her wise counsel. Andrea goes above and beyond and we can’t recommend her enough! –Spencer W
Working with Andrea has changed my health dramatically, and she correctly diagnosed medical "mysteries" I'd been seeking answers to for 15 years with Western Medicine (few Eastern) practitioners, and set me promptly on a path for taking back my health. Within 20 minutes of our first appointment Andrea helped me be able to happily digest food again after being in massive pain for the last 6 months after every meal that my GI specialist found to be again, a total head scratcher. Then she really cleaned house by righting my hormones, PMS to start with, which changed my life from as I went from losing two weeks of every month where I felt horrible and out of control, down to a few manageable days of PMS per month. We've been through Leaky Gut, Autoimmune Issues and Thyroid and I feel so supported in whatever my body may throw at me next. Daily my health improves because of Andrea. I'm armed with the knowledge to take back my health and the confidence to do so under Andrea’s guiding hand. –Mindy W
I was referred to Dr. Andrea Thorpe for acute pain a couple of years ago, desperate, stressed and out of ideas! Her calming presence, reassuring humility and professional integrity immediately put me at ease and within a handful of sessions I finally found relief. But Andrea is more than a wise sage and practitioner... Andrea’s insight, sensitivity and warmth are the cornerstones of her healing. For me, each session with her is a Zen-like calming of my stress and angst and a reset to a state of balanced energy, clarity and renewed hope! I am a psychotherapist and eagerly refer my clients, friends and family to Andrea as she has my deepest trust and respect. –Jamie G
