Alyssa is beyond quick to respond and professional. She always starts any session with concerns or issues that you want addressed. She gets to know you to help any way she can. She's patient and understanding. Helps you get the most out of your treatment. I've been seeing her for years! I personally don't trust anyone else. read more

I loved my experience with Alyssa at Healing Roots! I visited regularly during my pregnancy for acupuncture treatments. She was extremely gentle and knowledgeable about specific points to help with swelling, joint & back pain, etc. When I was close to my due date, she used points that encourage labor to begin. Prior to pregnancy, I visited Healing Roots with a sore back, and I felt relief after only 1 treatment. I highly recommend Alyssa! read more

This is an overdue review. I have been a patient of Healing Roots acupuncture since 2021. I started attending while undergoing IVF treatment because I heard acupuncture was beneficial. Alyssa and team were VERY accommodating when I needed extra sessions. Then I again returned for the same reason-to get my body prepared for IVF treatment. However, I was blessed to be pregnant without IVF. I do believe going to acupuncture was the reason I conceived. Recently, I hurt my back with pain down my left leg. When Alyssa saw me walk in with a limp, she right away asked me questions and we completed a session. I left without a limp and feeling sooo much better. I continue to return to healing roots acupuncture because of the way they always treat me. They have always been flexible and more now with kids. They are so easy to reach, email phone and even text. read more

Ive been going to healing roots for over 2 years for accupuncture- amazing place! Treatments very effective-actually helped with my frozen shoulder and nerve pain. Alyssa is a wonderful therapist- very knowledgeable & caring. She explains things in ways you can easily understand & is very patient & friendly. Facility is well run & immaculately clean with q spa like feel! Can't recommend highly enough! read more

I have left multiple messages to set up an appointment and it sounds like it's a cell phone. I have yet to receive a call back as of today :( I guess they don't want new business read more

Best acupressure I've had. James knew where my sciatica was coming from just by touching and assessing my legs and feet. He's always accommodating to my schedule. The rooms and beds are always clean and the ambiance is peaceful. Thanks :) read more

BEWARE! I used to refer people to this business often, but I REGRET IT! DO NOT GO TO THIS ACUPUNCTURIST!!!! They stopped billing my insurance and started charging my credit card for services, but with the understanding that they would still bill my insurance and then reimburse me. Instead, they stopped communicating with me, wouldn't give any updates, and wouldn't help me with giving me the appropriate documents to bill my insurance myself. Which means that they have put me out A LOT of money. I drove over to kindly ask for assistance, I was told that they aren't doing well financially and haven't been able to pay their billing services person, so they can't help me to submit bills to insurance because their billing person won't work without getting the money she is owed. NOT MY PROBLEM, but they refused to help me. Alyssa finally told me that she would email me superbills with all the information and still failed to do so. I am going to have to continue to drive over there until I get my $1,200 back! The acupuncture with James was great, but I will NEVER go back here because they just steal your money and don't care about you AT ALL. BEWARE! read more

My back was in severe pain and I came here to see if I can feel little bit better (it was to the point that I couldn't even stand) and James took me in last minute and OMG. After the treatment I was able to stand and walk! Of course it didn't feel 100% better but I was so thankful and burst out tears He also showed me some of the stretching moves that I can do it at home This place was very clean and they really care about their patients and try to find out what they exactly need. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH JAMES. I will be coming back soon for follow up treatment :) Highly recommended read more

First time getting acupuncture treatment and today is my 3rd visit and it's true what they say .... Third time's the charm ! I was attended by Alyssa and from the very beginning she was very accommodating with my questions , giving me the answers that I needed as a first timer . She also knows what she's doing and very gentle with her work . The place is small but cozy and conducive for healing in my opinion . We are working on my digestive issues and for the last 3 weeks that I've been going , things are certainly showing some ease and comfort ... Definitely going back and sticking it out with the rest of my treatment and maintenance for energy balance as well ... check this place out ! read more

Healing Roots Acupuncture - This is just one area of my body that I can share with needles ... time spent there is worth it # - Acupuncture Near Me - Tustin, California

I've been going to Danielle at Healing Roots for a couple of months now. Prior to going here, I was having horrible periods, anxiety and pain. Danielle has been literally a wonderful addition to my care team. Words can't fully express my gratitude for Danielle! read more

DON'T TRUST AS A WELLNESS CENTER! Unfortunately, Alyssa who runs this place is neglecting patients emails and calls about billing. We have seen James since 2024 and all was well. From the start of this year, 2025, Alyssa has dropped submitting insurance claims without letting clients know as we continue get care. We assumed all is in working order as our insurance has covered our care for over an year. Now we realize we have been charged pay out of pocket for services since the start of 2025. Alyssa has not responded to any of my emails or phone calls. It is terribly disappointing not only for clients but for her practitioners who trust her. I had to actually go into the office to even get a response from her as she tells me she is closing the office. As a small business owner myself, I am shocked at how little she cared. She acknowledged getting my emails and calls and didn't have the decency to respond. Huge red flags when you are trusting a place to take care of your wellbeing. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

I will be a long term patient at Healing Roots Acupuncture. The office is clean, easy to get to, and Alyssa the acupuncturist was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was searching for an acupuncturist that could focus on infertility and I definitely found that here. Alyssa made me feel comfortable from the time I walked in the door till I left. I had very little experience with acupuncture and she thoroughly explained the points and channels she was using as well as needle size. I felt at ease during the process and actually very relaxed. I'm looking forward to continuing to come back for treatment. And most exciting of all after 3 years of infertility I am finally pregnant!! read more

The acupuncturists here are very welcoming and understanding. They take time to understand your problem and work well with you. Wonderful place! read more

Excellent healing therapists!! Outstanding outcomes each time. It's not a magical fix, but we make a little bit to a lot of progress each time. read more

Yay Deborah's back! I had a not-so- good experience years back with acupuncture and was turned off to the whole idea until a few years later when my doctor suggested it for me...so I decided to keep an open mind and found this place at their previous location on a Groupon - my first visit was with Deborah who made me at complete ease and helped me through some back issues and menopause symptoms! The new owner is fantastic but I am so glad Deborah has returned for my Saturday appointments! Highly recommend this place for your acupuncture therapy! read more

I stopped by here because earlier in the day I had been searching for a good acupuncture place due to a injured elbow and shoulder. I happened to be driving by and saw it so I figured I would give it a shot. I never thought needles placed in certain points on the opposite side of your body could help this much. After one visit I can grasp things without shooting pain and I know this is a effective treatment. I'm excited to know this is a great fix without having to consider surgery which should be a last resort .. I had been suffering for 5-6 weeks in pain ! Thank You, Steve L read more

This is a hidden Orange County gem! Staff members are professional and courteous. I have participated in community acupuncture before and the environment at Healing Roots is the nicest I've ever experienced (comfortable chairs, nice lighting, soft music). I love that they try to make acupuncture accessible to a wider range of people by offering a sliding scale--it says a lot about the motivation behind their work! I will definitely return for follow-up visits! read more

I went in as a skeptic. I've had back pain off and on for many years, cause mostly by slipped disks from youthful foibles. I've had cortisone epidurals, chiropractic, bed rest, anti-inflammatory medicines, etc. I finally gave in and decided to try acupuncture. Great decision. I chose Dr. La for her proximity to my office (seriously...try driving more than 5 minutes with incredible sciatica pain!). Her reviews were good, her credentials were great, her website made her place looking relaxing and calming...and it's all true! Three visits with her and I'm 95% pain free. I've gone from not being able to sit long enough to drive home , a 15 minutes drive, to comfortable sitting, standing, walking. Her treatments are painless and relaxing. Her personality is calming and relaxing. She's ready with a smile and a laugh - important for putting me at ease - yet she is completely professional and reassuring. One thing I really liked - right up front she told me that if it didn't help after a couple of treatments, she wouldn't be able to help me. She didn't want to take my time and money for nothing. If you're thinking of trying acupuncture, I recommend Dr. La. I've gone from skeptic to believer. read more

I would like to say I do not just go to any place I am very skeptical and I look at reviews and I research on the business and everything and Healing Roots was highly recommended in my area and I'm very glad I found them they have been AMAZING ! Alyssa has made me feel so comfortable and she was so gentle and so sweet! The first time I went I didn't feel a difference really but I did feel relaxed I fell asleep hehe but the second time I felt a slight difference the next day, I'm still going to be coming back because of my back pain I'm so glad they take insurance I wasn't even aware of this until my insurance told me that acupuncture can help with pain! I would 100% recommend to anyone having pain but it will take some sessions to feel a difference it won't be right away, you need to trust in your acupuncturist! read more

I've worked with Danielle and Alyssa and they're both great. Relaxing sessions. You don't come in contact with anyone else. I started going to help with my Crohn's. While I also started taking other supplements at the same time so can't say for sure the acupuncture was the cause of the help, it definitely isn't hurting my progress. read more

Amazing! I am so glad I found this place. Very relaxing and clean. Danielle was very professional and kind. I highly recommend!

I have been seeing Alyssa for several years now. I was so happy to try out her new location. Warm, friendly environment and very clean. Coming from someone who has so many issues from chronic pain & migraines to stomach issues. I get results from a treatment with Alyssa every time I go. Her technique is great and she is truly passionate for what she does. She has done some facial rejuvenation treatments on me as well and I always leave with my skin feeling refreshed and looking brighter. I would highly recommend her to anyone for whatever you may be looking for in a treatment. Always a great experience with consistent results. read more

The best! Thank you for taking my pain away. I am so glad I came here and so glad to have met Alyssa! Quick, professional service and procedures I can trust! I, personally, HIGHLY recommend Healing Roots Acupuncture! read more

I have been to the healing roots clinic twice now, the first one was done for relaxation and it was my firat time ever having needles on me, i was at first tense but i just a couple of minutes just doze off my whole body was relaxed and all my muscles just loosened up, i was so serene after that session. The second time was for digestive health, and that one my whole body just heated up it was amazing! I highly recommend this place they are also very affordable they have a sliding scale with their prices, try them out!! read more

Deborah is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and explained everything and how it works. The place here is very healing and peaceful as well as being affordable. Definitely would recommend this place for healing! It's amazing how fast the healing was after! The treatments definitely help speed up the process! The neck pain is gone! read more

I had been to this facility years ago and got an email for a MLK day special. My back has been acting up this past year, lots of work stress has led to unbearable pain and tension. I had always wanted to try cupping and figured this would be a great opportunity to see what it was all about! Alyssa was an amazing practitioner, I had a wonderful experience with her. She was personable and so helpful. She explained everything to me in detail and was very kind and caring. The cupping itself was not painful in anyway- just some slight pressure. I got some pretty cool purple circles where I had heavy stagnation, I think of it as areas where there just wasn't a lot of circulation because my muscles were wound up so tight. They take insurance and have a community rate as well, I definitely plan to return. The acupuncture was so relaxing, and I left feeling euphoric and so relaxed. I almost fell asleep! I highly recommend trying out this location. Eastern medicine is worth looking into as it has many benefits ! The location has plenty of parking and is located in Tustin not too far from old Town! read more

See all

I love this clinic! So lucky I found it! Alyssa is wonderful! So warm, personable, thoughtful, knowledgeable and skilled. She makes you feel comfortable, validated, listened to, and cared for. I fell asleep during treatment because my body and mind felt so relaxed. My mini spa! I saw results even after one session and have been feeling better and better with each session. I have recommended this gem to many people and am now recommending it to you. read more

I went in for a microneedling session on my face today and I cannot wait to go back for my next treatment. Danielle was so knowledgeable on how and why this treatment was best for the results for what I personally am looking for, as well as being super gentle on each part of my face and neck. I loved how she paid attention to me and checked in as we progressed in my session. Danielle listened to how concerned I am with my dry skin and the hyperpigmentation on my forehead as well as my scarring from cystic acne so she focused on my cheeks and my forehead and added the hyaluronic serum as needed seeing how my skin was absorbing it rapidly. The facility was incredibly serene and welcoming and immediately made me feel comfortable. Based on my experience today, I cannot wait to go back for my next session and I'm adding a massage in too!! Thank you for a wonderful experience and getting me started on a beautiful new future!!! read more

So glad that I found this place!! Super convenient location and very relaxing and tranquil inside. Alyssa did a fabulous job of making me feel at ease right away and took her time listening to all of my concerns and answering my questions. The treatment was great and I'm looking forward to another session soon; would definitely recommend! read more

Had such a pleasant experience for my first appointment here. I saw Alyssa, who I felt immediately comfortable with, she is super kind, knowledgeable and has a great energy. The space itself is calming and super clean. I've already set up my next appt and am looking forward to coming here regularly for treatments, highly recommend!! read more

I have been seeing Alyssa for several years now. She is an amazing acupuncturist. I had elbow pain two years ago and her treatment had cured it completely. Recently, I had ankle and knee injuries. She was able to make the pain go away. Her office is calm and clean. I highly recommend this place. read more

Love getting my acupuncture treatments from this place! The staff are so friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable for my specific needs. I started receiving treatment the end of last year, then when COVID hit and they had to close, I totally felt a difference with not being able to receive treatment. I'm so happy they are open again so I get back in balance. read more

I love Healing Roots and Caroline/Deborah! The care and attention that they provide when I come in with my ailments (usually neck/shoulder/wrist pain) makes me appreciate their time, knowledge, and service so much. Just as their name indicates, they both really do care about the community (as other reviews have mentioned, the services are affordable and accessible) and are truly gifted healthcare practitioners/healers. And on top of that, they moved to a new location which is warm and inviting! read more

I was very pleased with my accupuncture treatment. Alyssa did an amazing job at making me feel comfortable and at ease. Definitely have no regrets in coming in to this place. It was well worth the groupon offer I purchased. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

I came to Healing Roots Community Acupuncture center to address an on going problem with my TMJ! Within 3 visits.. my TMJ is 100% better.. and I can eat carrots again! YEAH!. I recommend Healing Roots Community center to all my friends. What a God send! Thank you for all you do! read more

A friend recommended Healing Roots due neck and back pain. I was truly pleased from beginning to the end of the session. Debra was friendly and informative which helped me remain calm since this was my first appointment. With in a few minutes of the treatment I was feeling results. Also by the end I felt upbeat and energized. I am looking forward to my next appointment and would recommend Healing Roots to everyone. read more

Wow!! I am thoroughly impressed! I have been experiencing chronic back problem due to a rear end accident early this year. I have to say, was highly skeptical about its effectiveness. I figured it was worth a try and the sliding scale payment system won me over as a customer! After the 4th treatment, the chronic pain in my lower back went from a pain of 6 to now 1. At times I don't even it feel it!! It's a miracle..because honestly I didn't think it was ever gonna go away! Soooo grateful that they were able to help me managed the pain! read more

I heard about their $20 special for the month of December and decided to give acupuncture a try for my anxiety and depression. I had a great experience. The clinic was very nice and clean and the recliners were very comfortable. I'm going back again to continue working on my anxiety issues. Highly recommend this clinic and their sliding scale makes it very affordable. read more

I had been trying to get pregnant for 5 months. I wanted to try acupuncture, but I was not about to pay the insane prices that some acupuncturist charge. A friend of mine told me she went to "community acupuncture" after trying to get pregnant for a year, and after 3 weeks she was pregnant. I found this place, and met with Caroline. She was extremely knowledgeable & reasonably priced! Plus she is "in network" with my insurance & submitted all the claims for me. 2 months later, I am happy to say I AM PREGNANT! read more
