    Really great experience at Ashara Health and Wellness. Everyone was super friendly and made me feel…read morecomfortable right away. What really stood out was how personalized the care felt. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt supported every step of the way. You can tell they care about long-term wellness, not just quick fixes. If you're looking for a place that combines professionalism with real compassion, I highly recommend Ashara Health and Wellness. I'm so glad I found them!

    Our experience at Ashara Health & Wellness was extremely disappointing…read more On November 6, 2025, I brought my teenage son to Ashara because he was ill and dehydrated and was seeking hydration therapy. During his visit, his condition deteriorated rapidly. He became pale, began sweating profusely, appeared disoriented, and nearly lost consciousness. His condition became serious enough that I called 911, and he was transported by ambulance to the emergency room for evaluation and treatment. As a result, our family incurred more than $1,400 in emergency medical bills, in addition to other expenses. Since then, I have attempted to resolve this matter professionally. I sent certified correspondence requesting reimbursement or, at a minimum, the contact information for Ashara's professional liability insurance carrier so the claim could be handled appropriately. I also requested copies of the medical records and other relevant documentation. Despite these efforts, I have received no response. I understand that unexpected medical events can occur, but what has been most disappointing is the complete lack of communication afterward. Ignoring a patient's family after such a serious incident does not reflect the level of professionalism or accountability I expected. I hope Ashara Health & Wellness will choose to respond and work toward resolving this matter.

    Edit to my below Review: Finally received the Dx code asked for my final visit, likely based on the…read morereview that I didn't get it when I previously asked for it. This office is a great option if you are not wanting to bill insurance. Practitioner knowledge and results from my assessment continue to be positive. While I continue to have decent results from the assessment and recommendation of Dr Valenzuela, it was the office experience related to billing that garnered this not so fab review. I was a cash patient recommended to her office by another practitioner. I needed the superbill with the Dx codes on it to submit to my insurance company for reimbursement as this office doesn't work directly with insurance. I have asked for this code on the receipt from my last visit three times now since mid December and received no reply. At one point, I was told by Dr Emily that if I book my appts, the DX code isn't on the superbill, but if she books it, it is. Why is their a "book online" option on their website if she wants to book the appts? Furthermore, I paid her over $400 and am only asking for a Dx code for the last visit. It takes less than 5 minutes to add this to the superbill! Her last reply to me is and I quote. "We are a cash base business, because what we do in our clinic is generally not covered by insurance. So sorry we couldn't be of more help. The best thing I can do in the future is recommend getting an HSA insurance plan. You put money into an account that you can use for services such as mine or your chiropractor and then your insurance premiums are lower. Good luck" The HSA is a great suggestion but not attainable for me at this time. I did end up getting partial reimbursement for the initial visit from my insurance, and I know others who have these services covered by their insurance, they just have to bill and need the Dx code! Not a big ask when you are charging $225 for the initial visit and $90 for follow ups! Sheesh! I have since found another practitioner who does what this office does and does bill insurance and is super easy to work with. As sad as it is for me to give this review, the lack of response from Dr Emily speaks for itself.

    I have been seeing Dr. Valenzuela off and on for years for general maintenance and thyroid health…read more(I have Hashimoto's/hypothyroidism). However I had never really honed in on my thyroid health and fertility and wanted to prior to conceiving as I was anxious that it would be impossible to get pregnant due to my diagnosis, or would take longer than most. I also knew that if I was to become pregnant, my risk of miscarriage was much higher. Therefore both my husband and I started to see Emily regularly about 8 months prior to when we wanted to start trying. She took me through the CellCore supplement program where I detoxed from heavy metals, parasites, viruses (all big triggers for autoimmune disease) and more, and additionally worked on my thryoid and adrenals with acupuncture. Within a few months I started to feel huge changes, my skin cleared up, my hair stopped falling out, my brain fog had dissipated and I felt so good and really prepared to try for a baby. The first time we "tried" and weren't even really trying we got pregnant. I honestly was in shock and beyond excited. I am now in my 35th week of pregnancy and been seeing Dr. Valenzuela regularly to ensure baby "stuck" and that baby and I have both remained healthy throughout. I haven't had any tiredness or weird symptoms that most people complain of during pregnancy and I have to credit regular acupuncture treatments with her. Emily has been an endless source of information and made me feel so calm as a first time mom and I highly, highly recommend seeing her for autoimmune problems/thyroid health, infertility/fertility, and anxiety!

    I had a stubborn dull ache between my right shoulder blade and spine that lingered for over three…read moreyears. I saw a chiropractor regularly for two and a half years, four sessions a month, with promises it'd be resolved in 2-3 months. No dice. I even tried a trigger point masseuse, and the pain eased after about six sessions, but sure enough, it crept back a year later. Turns out it was all thanks to lugging around those 5-gallon water jugs. Frustrated, I vented to my best friend who told me about Sunyo. He and his wife met her at a local farmers market where she offered remote treatments that helped them both. He connected me, and after just two sessions, I felt normal again. Not "a little better" like the pain was just gone. Here's the wild part, Sunyo actually treated my wife over 16 years ago when she practiced in Beverly Hills. We had no idea until we pieced it all together. That kind of full-circle moment doesn't feel random. I don't know what to call what she does, energy work, healing, divine alignment, but whatever it is, I'm all in. Thank you, Sunyo!

    I travel from Los Angeles to see Dr. Zhong at Sunyo Acupuncture because her level of skill is…read moreexceptional. I came in with persistent glute and extreme sciatica nerve pain that wasn't improving with PT or other acupuncture. If anything, it was getting worse. She immediately identified the source of the problem and tailored a precise treatment plan. I opted for more intensive sessions to speed up the process, though she also offers a gentler recovery approach. After just four visits, the improvement has been remarkable. The deep glute pain and nerve irritation have significantly diminished, and I'm finally moving comfortably again. Whew! If you're dealing with stubborn pain I highly, highly, highly recommend Dr. Zhong.
