As you share your symptoms with her, Michelle is able to look beneath the surface and get right to the root of what is causing the problem.

She was realistic about the treatment explaining that it is a rollercoaster and no miracle tomorrow you are well. But within weeks I was back to normal. I was off the sleeping pills and the anxiety was totally back in control. I could eat again with an appetite. Her prices are very reasonable. It is not a fancy office but very neat and very clean.

My general practitioners basically told me that there was nothing they could do about my acne, migraines, overall inflammation throughout my body and weight gain, so I started looking into alternative medicine. It's hard to know where to start and there are so many quacks out there but then I met Shani! She is not only practiced, knowledgeable and professional doctor of acupuncture but she is an all around phenomenal human. Within weeks of seeing her my migraines and acne started to clear. Within months my inflammation and weight significantly decreased and within a year I was completely feeling like myself again. I cannot overstate how wonderful she is. If you've been looking for help with fertility, pain management, mental health issues, skin care and whole host other health problems I HIGHLY recommend setting up an appointment.

Going to see Dr. Shani at Root and Soul was a life-changing experience for me. I have several…read morechronic illnesses, and my chief complaint when making my appointment was plantar fas. in one foot and osteoarthritis pretty much throughout my extremities. My regular osteo treating physician at Sharp recommended accupuncture. I've had accupuncture before, with little results. However, that was not with Dr. Shani and I was not consistent in my treatments. After 3 months of weekly appointments, which concluded in September, I am still feeling 60% better. Now, for those of you unfamiliar with the aches of aging, this is miraculous. Osteoarthritis is not a wound that "heals," rather a constant, nagging friend that keeps you from your daily activities. To have a 60% reduction in pain is better than most over the counter NSAIDs, without the nasty side effect of destroying what's left of my kidneys. SHE IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL and her practice is a gift to those of us in the east county area. If you have considered accupuncture before, or even had treatments somewhere else with so-so results, please consider seeing her. Fair warning: consistent treatments lead to lasting results. As i stated, I stopped treatment after 3 months, but I continue to reap the benefits. I wish our country thought that healthcare is a human right and covered these expenses, but no such luck. I invested in myself and am very satisfied with the results. I will return to treatment with Dr. Shani for periodic tune ups. She is a wonderful person, professional, caring, and extremely attentive to individual needs. If you are considering accupuncture, please make her your first appointment. She did assist me with paying for my treatment by spreading out my payments, which is greatly appreciated.
