“Golden Folk is really a truly a hidden oasis filled with amazing vibes and even more amazing practitioners. Sonya, the acupuncturist and founder of Golden Folk is so good at what she does — spending time with every single patient and practitioner, making sure their experience is more than well spent. I can't even stress the effect Golden Folk and Sonya have had on my life personally, and I know I can say the same of so many others who are lucky enough to walk through those doors.”
