    Dr. Pier Paulo's treatment of my back pain and other stresses has turned my life around. As a…read morehighly educated doctor of oriental medicine, massage therapist, and acupuncturist she brings an elevated level of skills to the table. Dr. Paulo first interviews you to ascertain your level of pain/discomfort. Intensity of massage, length, etc. are discussed and your treatment begins. Her treatment space is immaculate and welcoming with relaxing music and pleasant scents. You are left to disrobe to your comfort level and when she returns an incredible session of relaxation combined with healing pressure begins. If (as in my case) deep tissue massage is indicated, you may be surprised at the level of pressure this diminutive professional can exert. I'm still not convinced she doesn't tag team with an NFL linebacker, but am content to keep my eyes closed and toes curled. Unlike some therapists who either give a general, all-over massage or conversely only concentrate on areas the patient has identified as trouble spots, Dr. Paulo easily identifies knots and tight areas you never realized you had and focuses on them as well as whatever areas you may have identified as problem spots. Your time is up all too soon and you look forward to your next visit as you walk out of her office feeling so much better. Dr. Paulo offers appointments of 30 minutes or more. Soon after seeing her the first few times, I felt the 60 minutes I chose wasn't long enough and began having 90 minute treatments. Months later when a physical medicine physician at Kaiser determined acupuncture might be appropriate, their referral system took me right to Dr. Paulo and an every other week regimen of two hours combining massage and acupuncture. Although a somewhat less than adventuresome patient, I approached acupuncture with full confidence having Dr. Paulo as my provider. She thoroughly explains the procedure and shows you the tools she uses and her combination of the art of massage and oriental medicine through acupuncture brings treatment to a whole new level of relief. I really don't know how those painless needles work, they just do. And to make the entire experience all the more satisfying, Dr. Paulo is a wonderful human being. Although completely professional, her friendly attitude and effervescent personality very quickly makes her your friend as well as your doctor. If you wish, she happily talks to you about family life, outside activities, etc. My entire professional and personal experience with her makes me happy to be considerably older than she since I can logically expect that experience to continue for the rest of my life!

    Pier is wonderful. She's so positive and really focuses on determining what you need both…read moreacupuncture and herb-wise.

I wish I had read the yelp reviews more carefully because I would have known to ask for Deborah. I would expect holistic healthcare practitioners to be patient and non judgmental but that was not my experience with Adam. Even though my first visit was not great I bought the 3-visit package because I was so desperate for relief. I followed his instructions to change my diet (no cold foods) and took the herbs he prescribed. I finally stopped taking the herbs after a couple weeks (Adam was not pleased, "Do you WANT to get better??") because they come in a powder form that does not dissolve in water. The taste is almost unbearable. I wish Adam had told me sooner that the herbs can be purchased in pill form. I did begin to feel better and believe that diet, herbs, and acupuncture are healing. I'm going to look for a different practitioner to continue my treatment.

    I started seeing Shani about a year ago. I had a whole host of symptoms after the birth of my son…read moreand a few miscarriages. My hormones were a mess and I felt pretty miserable. 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.
