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.

It s pretty amazing how we can put up with pain until we come to do something about it. A family friend referred me to John Chen. So, I was curious and certainly looked forward to another way to heal this tennis elbow. John explained the whole process when I got to his office. He was very thorough and answers all my questions. He also mentioned a few other things such as energy re balancing of the body. I thought it was fascinating. Our session started when he got a full picture of what was going on with me. He carefully placed the tiny needles a different strategic places. I didn't feel much except the flow of energy within my body. It was pretty cool. After a few sessions, I felt a lot better and could get back to working out. I still come and see John for energy rebalancing since my job is pretty stressful. I also travel a lot so he certainly helps me to reset my whole being. Traditional western medicine usually has a doctor prescribe some medication. They rarely take care of the preventive and maintenance part. It seems to me that they are giving bandaids to patients.for that reason, I seek alternative medicine such as accupuncture, homeopathy ( big in Europe), and massage. I believe that you can heal with diet as well. My brother In law who works as a nurse at Kings hospital on the west side of Oahu reminds be of the ravage of bad nutrition habits. If you re open to alternative medicine, give John a try. He s really helped me with my health.

I initially reached out to Alisa with my first pregnancy when it was looking likely that I would need to be induced. This was my first experience doing acupuncture and trying Eastern medicine but she made me feel so comfortable and cared for. We were able to focus on trying to naturally induce labor, and I was able to see her twice before my baby came. She was incredibly thoughtful and followed up after my delivery to check-in and see how I was doing. Fast forward to my second baby, I scheduled more regular visits for some other minor complications. Over the course of my visits, she also checked in on other symptoms and helped me feel better with things like congestion and other minor aches. With both babies, I had quick and healthy deliveries! If you're on the fence about trying acupuncture or exploring Eastern medicine, I would strongly recommend Alisa and her practice. She made me feel at ease and well cared for.

Unfortunately, this transition took a toll on my teenagers emotions. Fitting in and adjusting has been a challenge especially on my daughter who had a breakdown during school and begged for me to pull her out. Brought her home and saw signs of major depression. After our appointment with Nefetari, I'm confident we will get through this. I'm hopeful if you're reading this review that you'll take a chance and set an appointment with Nefatari for a reiki massage. This is what I did for my daughter. I believe people have gifts to share with the world and this lady has a gift. She wasn't available that day but scheduled her in for the next day. Prior to the appointment she asked to speak with my daughter after hearing what had happened. They spoke what seemed like 15 minutes but I noticed a change already in her energy just with a phone conversation. Next day she woke up crying again and refused to go to school. So I let her stay home. It wasn't easy to see my vibrant happy go lucky goofy daughter get so down to the point of not wanting to get out of bed. I dropped her off for a 90 minutes session. She was a bit quiet on the ride home and I wanted to respect her experience. Once we got home, I kid you not.. she was laughing and smiling and acknowledged she was having a hard time but that she would do what was necessary to get through it. We journaled before bed and again this morning before she went to school. I see my baby's optimistic smile and I couldn't be happier. Thank you beloved. I will forever be grateful for your gift!
