    Melanie is so intentional about helping me with whatever the issue may be. She is easy to talk to…read moreand very understanding. I always feel at ease in her care and she always has great tips on how to follow up at home care. She is the best!

    I had never been for acupuncture therapy, and I'm not comfortable with needles. In high school, I…read morecouldn't even puncture my own finger tip to study a blood drop in biology. So I was hesitant to try this therapy out. I have a very old knee injury to my left knee. It has been twice the size of my right knee for 24 years. My sports injury doctor really was at a loss, so he sent me to see Melanie and told me she was fabulous. I trust this man, so I called and made an appointment. I came for my first appointment and Melanie made me feel very comfortable and at ease with everything. She explained what she was going to do and doing every step of the way. I stared at the ceiling because I didn't want to watch the needles going in. I didn't even feel the first couple and barely felt the 3rd, after that it was very easy. After my first session I was very relaxed, so relaxed that I wanted to take a nap. I never nap. She explained to me that since this injury was so old, it was going to take a while and several sessions to see a difference. What I noticed after the first session was an immediate lessening of pain. What I noticed after a few sessions was that my swelling had started to go down. It's amazing, I can actually wear high heels again, and I have not been able to in a long long time. On one of my sessions I came in and my neck was painful, so I laid face down and had my neck worked on too, that was awesome. I'm a long way from healed, but I am way ahead of where I was just a month ago. I really look forward to my sessions and time with Melanie. She and I have the most amazing deep conversations. I can't stress enough how much this alternative therapy can really help so many conditions.

    This Sprouts is the best one in San Diego hands down! The selection is always fresh and well…read morestocked it really does give farmers market vibes. And the cashier, Cindy is always so helpful and kind! I always choose her lane if I can!!

    I couldn't tell you how many Sprouts we've been to throughout Northern and Southern California…read more(it's a lot) but this one so far is my favourite. This location has a good sized parking lot, we never have issues finding a spot, the store has a good layout, this location is better stocked than other sprouts (I love that they have honest kitchen pet food cuz that's what we give our pets and also that they just started carrying pasture raised chicken), is nicely lit & clean, but what makes the biggest difference here is how noticeably friendly and kind the employees are. In the past we were checking out some freeze dried fruits and an employee came up and asked if we wanted to sample it. It's not like it was a bulk item - it was a sealed packaged product. We had already bought them before in a different brand so we didn't want to have him open it for us but I still thought that was really nice. Throughout the many times we've been to this location, we've always been met with genuine smiles and warm greetings. Today in particular as we were walking down the dairy aisle toward the eggs, there was a lady restocking the eggs and as I walked toward her she gave me such a warm smile. And then she chatted with us to let us know about the current wellness week sale and then helped us find the eggs we were looking for. She was super sweet. My husband and I both walked away saying how nice she was. Then we went to the supplement section to see if we needed anything because of the wellness week sale and an employee was walking the ends of the aisles asking if anyone needed help finding anything - but in a nice way not a pushy way. We went to checkout and I saw the name badges of the cashier and bagger. Jacob and Joe. Again, both just genuinely friendly. You can tell the difference between an employee who's just doing a job and doesn't care and asks you if you found everything okay vs someone in a good mood who actually seems to want to help if you weren't able to find everything you need. The vibe here feels like the manager is a super nice person and treats all the employees with kindness and respect while asking them to focus on customer service and because the manager treats them so well and created a safe/healthy work environment- it's a pleasure to work here. Not saying that's what is happening here but I'm just saying that's the vibe I get.

    Nice location in good neighborhood, not sketchy or too dark as others have remarked.
