I became a client a few months after I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. My life was a whirlwind of change and challenges at the time and I didn't even realize that I needed more than medical care. A friend told me about Charlotte Maxwell Clinic and I enrolled. It was the most lovely of experiences to have regular treatments and care from such amazing staff and providers. I highly recommend them and would encourage all the support anyone can give so they can continue to provide excellent care.
After a scary diagnosis of colon cancer seven years ago, I was desperately looking for holistic health care and luckily found the Charlotte Mawell Clinic! I spoke with the medical director, who listened to my concerns about allopathic medicine and trusted me to make my healthcare decisions. I have received a cornucopia of complementary therapies on my healing journey, including acupuncture, Western herbal medicine, massage, Reiki, Feldenkrais, therapeutic imagery, Healing Touch, EFT, nutritional support, and much more, even organic foods and flower seeds! The compassionate care at Charlotte Maxwell is extraordinary and has decisively contributed to my recovery. I appreciate this opportunity to express my gratitude for all the healing treatments and support from Charlotte Maxwell’s kind, professional practitioners and staff.

Like many here, I’ve volunteered at CMC for years. First as an acupuncture intern, then as a licensed acupuncturist. It is a pleasure to work with CMC and all the clients who come for the many services they provide. I feel joyous being able to provide acupuncture to them. CMC is great with scheduling the shifts, and I am always made to feel welcome and appreciated. This a non profit with an important and heart-felt mission, that treats their volunteers well. We receive good training, support, and clear communication. Thank you CMC for the work and love you bring to our community!
I have been a volunteer with CMC since before Covid, I started as an acupuncture student and immediately was hooked. It's such a warm and welcoming space for clients and volunteers alike and I feel blessed and honored to be a part of their story.
Low-income, underserved women with cancer come to Charlotte Maxwell for complimentary alternative therapies they otherwise couldn't afford. What a fantastic place! They have helped thousands of women in the San Francisco Bay Area by providing a safe place to be seen as a human being, not just a "patient." They provide various modalities such as massage, acupuncture, sound, and herbs. I feel so grateful for their services and blessed to be a volunteer. Thank you for all that you do!
After receiving weekly natural healing therapy for six months at Charlotte Maxwell Clinic, I experienced incredible relief and relaxation. Each session helped to alleviate the body pain and stress that I had been experiencing following my chemotherapy treatment. It was the one thing I looked forward to during that difficult time. I sincerely hope that Charlotte Maxwell Clinic will continue to provide this wonderful service to those in need, like myself. Thank you so much for this amazing service, and may it continue to thrive without any obstacles. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to those who have made this service possible, and may they receive abundant blessings from above.

Charlotte Maxwell Clinic has a very helpful and caring staff. They offer services like massage and acupuncture, by professionals who donate their time.

The compassionate care that Charlotte Maxwell Clinic provides to the community should not be understated!

I was a volunteer at the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic for over 12 years. My experience there was wonderful beyond my expectations.
One of the main pluses among many, I think, is that the clients get to choose the therapy they want to receive, giving them a sense of power.
All the volunteers are loving and accomplished women who give their time and expertise. I am honored to have worked among them.
All these years at the clinic, I have witnessed clients smiles and appreciation. They love coming for treatments.
The Charlotte Maxwell Clinic is an incredibly special group of staff, volunteers, and clients. They are an extremely dedicated and caring collective of people who have come together to offer healing services in their community. As a volunteer I am impressed with the dedication of the staff, and it's pretty amazing to engage with the founders who started the clinic 30+ years ago. The clients that come to the clinic are wonderful, and it is a joy to offer them healing services while they are undergoing more intensive treatments.
Charlotte Maxwell provides care for the whole person, not just with traditional medicine but with complimentary therapies. The clinic serves low income women who might not otherwise have access to holistic care. The staff are caring and supportive and provide a welcoming environment for women with cancer.
I have been a volunteer for Charlotte Maxwell for two years. This is a wonderful family of passionate care givers of every stripe. The staff, the board, the volunteers all exude deep commitment to helping women who are having the challenge of their lives. What a privilege to be in the presence of such grace.
