Dr. Sarika is the BEST. I came in for low back pain, neck pain and sciatica where I couldn't sit for more than 10 minutes without a deep aching pain in my back, glutes and leg, and sometimes numbness into my foot. Admittedly, I was a little apprehensive about the $45 consult. Don't be. Sarika is AMAZING. She is very clear about the treatment plan. Follow it, and I promise you improvement. I was in the worst pain of my life and the Herbal formulas and treatments were very effective. Now I occasionally get a twinge but it resolves quickly and I can drive without pain. I am a person who also works in Healthcare treating chronic pain, and I learned so much by getting treated with her. I am so grateful. read more

I work as a Firefighter and have a back injury. Honestly, I'm pretty upset the lack of transparency. I should have read the reviews before coming to this business. I was told several times from the staff that with $45 consultation, I would be able to get treatment as well. What they failed to tell me is that it would be an additional $200. If I knew I was just going in there for a 5min conversation I 100% would have reconsidered this appointment. I FELT ROBBED. BEAWARE!!! read more

Oh my! What can I say my husband and I are so thrilled we found Soma Acupuncture we have had incredible results. I had a foot problem and hard time walking it was very painful, I tried several conventional methods to little to no results, after 4 sessions with acupuncture the pain was completely gone and ease of walking has improved 100%. I also have been getting Acupuncture facials and I have been getting alot of compliments very noticeable difference, less wrinkle, more color in my face wonderful natural remedy. Most important is Sarika is so knowledgable she has an answer and remedy for any concern you can throw at her. Whatever I needed help with I never felt hesitant to ask her because she is willing to talk to you about any health needs. The staff are wonderful they are super nice and very efficient, we never have to wait to get in and get our treatment. If anyone has ever questioned this mode of health treatment should at least come in and get a consult - it is well worth it and highly recommended. My husband went in with high blood pressure hitting 197/140 his doctor just put him on blood pressure meds and he was on them for 3 months, we changed his diet and did all the remedies we were told would work but to no avail. He had a great consult with Sarika she mind at ease and answered all his questions and 6 treatments later his blood pressure has been steady at 125/80 amazing no more meds and he is breathing better and really feeling healthy. He literally dropped 75 points. and has a steady road ahead on keeping the blood pressure under control thanks to Sarika and all her help. Thank you to Sarika and her staff Sandy & Clayton H. read more

Wow I can't say enough great things about this place .... Went in for a sciatica pain and came out with new hips ..... the quality of care is top notch. The moment you walk in your welcome with the warmest staff. Love the acupuncture and cupping. I feel my body getting better every time I go in. read more

I suffered with chronic, debilitating pain and neuropathy from my hips to my toes after recovering from stage 4 lymphoma cancer and the side effects of chemotherapy. I tried everything conventional medicine had to offer which did absolutely nothing to manage my 24/7 pain and nausea. My prayers were answered when I found Sarika. She is truly one of a kind with her masterful understanding of acupuncture, Chinese medicine, intuition, and deep inner wisdom. She customized a treatment plan specifically for me and I began to see improvement almost immediately. I continue to improve daily, and my pain has decreased significantly allowing me to have a quality of life and mobility at 88 that I didn't think was possible. The office is well run, immaculate, quiet, peaceful, relaxing. The staff is warm, compassionate, and caring. My biggest regret is that I didn't start sooner and suffered so long unnecessarily. Being under Sarika's care has truly been life changing for me and they are like family to me now. Please don't suffer like I did when help is only a phone call away! read more

I am so glad I found Dr. Connor/Soma acupuncture. Excellent quality care, wonderful facility and the nicest staff. The office is well appointed and the rooms and equipment are top notch. After one visit, I noticed a considerable change in my Achilles tendonitis. The pain and swelling went down dramatically and I was walking pain free for the first time in months. I am still getting treatment for this and each time, I notice improvement. She treats a host of different issues, and I will likely see Dr. Connor for other things. I've tried acupuncture in the past, in OC and Temecula, and hands down--Soma is the best! Look no further. read more

If you are looking to give acupuncture and cupping a try, go to Soma. Sarika is wonderful! The treatments have helped me immensely with my migraines and back pain. I haven't had to take my medication for migraines for almost a full week. I've had the treatments for two weeks. Soma is conveniently located in Atwater village. Lots of street parking, metered and non metered. Parking lots located close by too. Soma has a clean, relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended. read more

The lack of transparency for cost of services is enough for me to know that this is not somewhere I would consider for treatment. I inquired about the cost of acupuncture treatment and they require a $45 consult just to get a cost of service. Very poor business decision! read more

I have been seeing Sarika for a little over 6 months now. I started seeing her for a chronic issue that I have had for many years. Along the way, she has also helped me with some physical injuries (I am fairly active, and think I am way younger than I actually am). Sarika is extremely knowledgeable about all things body and health. Her bedside manner is always appropriate, and I often find myself looking forward to our sessions. She is genuine and observant and I always feel safe in her care. Although my chronic issues have not been resolved completely, I am much better off than I was 6 months ago. As I continue to see her, I see more and more improvement. Chronic issues take a long time to develop, and therefore I expect that resolving them will take time as well. She uses all the means at her disposal. I have had traditional acupuncture, needles attached to electric stimulation, cupping, body work and herbs so far. I admit that I look forward to when she breaks out a new trick. When it comes to acute injury (I have had some hand and back injuries from work and play) she really shines. Whenever I take a spill on the mountain or have a gnarly 15 -hour work day, I know that a few sessions with Sarika will aid my body's recovery system. She answers questions thoughtfully and if an approach stops working (or has run it's course), she will change it up. I have seen some other chronic issues related to stress almost completely dissipate in the time I have been seeing her. These were not issues I was looking to address through acupuncture per se, but it was a great side benefit. A side note on Covid protocols. The office is always very clean, and everyone takes the protocols very seriously. I have never felt uncomfortable in the office. All in all, I have been to many acupuncturists and bodyworkers in my day, not only in California, but all over the world. Sarika is one of the best and most conscientious practitioners I have seen. read more

I have been seeing Sarika for about two months. When I first saw her I was experiencing extreme anxiety and having panic attacks. When I stepped into the office I was shaking and wasn't sure if I could even sit still long enough for the session. When Sarika stepped in the room she was so concerned, compassionate and fully focused on my condition that I right away felt I was in good hands and was ready for her help. I have to say that two months later I would recommend her to anyone. I have jumped forward in leaps and bounds from where I was before. Every time I enter the office I'm welcomed with friendly greetings and feel I've known them for a long time. The office is beautiful and everything is done professionally and with care. read more

Sarika is a lifesaver. I have been dealing with chronic lower back pain from a disc injury for years and never dreamed I'd have the kind of mobility and freedom from pain/stiffness that I now have. When I came in I had tweaked my lower back muscles so badly I couldn't even stand up straight, and after two sessions I was back to walking comfortably - two months later I am jogging, working out, and doing yoga at full function. Worth every penny, most transformative thing I've ever done for my body. read more

Sarika has been an answer to my prayers. After living with chronic lower back pain for about 5 years it's now gone thanks to her treatments. It's been 3 months since we started and now I am pain free. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am. I had resigned myself to live with the pain, but I decided to give Acupuncture a try and found utter relief and a pain free life. Thank you!!!!! read more

I love the intimate atmosphere and the help that I receive with every session with Sarika who is truly knowledgeable making the experience comfortable and helpful with each visit. So far I have tried just the acupuncture along with recommended Chinese herbs but I also look forward to cupping and facial needling. Parking is pretty easy on the street - highly recommended practitioner. read more

I've been so fortunate to have discovered Sarika and her practice . I kept having repetitive coughing and nothing seem to help until I visited her office. After a thorough consultation she recommended to try cupping be done on my upper back and sides. After just one treatment I noticed a difference. Within 3 visit my coughing was completely gone. While visiting her for my treatments I questioned the other services she provided. One was the Facial Rejuvenation Therapy. Now this has been a life changer I can't even express how much this therapy has benefitted my entire face. I have had Botox a few times and fillers here and there but since I've started this treatment I don't need any of it.. the lines around my eyes, laugh line and two stubborn lines on my forehead have demolished. With the treatment she also preforms face cupping. This also helps with contouring the face and bringing back collagen. Overall the treatment is very safe, relaxing and comfortable, with astonishing results. Sarika is extremely talented and is confident in all that she does , I wish I had meet her sooner. read more

I am very grateful for Sarika and her practice. I've been seeing her since the beginning of the year for facial rejuvenation due to inflammation, puffiness, under eye dents (tear-trough) and I definitely notice a difference! My skin overall is less dull, more firm, and sculpted. I've also started to see eyebrow regrowth as well. She's insightful, offers great advice, and will make slight adjustments according to how I've been feeling, mental or physical. Plus, she always completes the session with an amazing face and head massage :) I leave each appointment feeling truly rejuvenated, and continue to see positive improvement. I appreciate you, Sarika! read more

Going to Soma Acupuncture has been one of the best decisions I have made for my self-care journey. The stress of life, school, motherhood, and work was becoming overwhelming, leading to lethargy, increased anxiety, sleeplessness, emotional eating, and more. However, after just a few sessions, I woke up feeling more rested and relaxed throughout the day, even with the same stressors. I felt less anxious and more capable of handling anything that came my way. Though my goal was to improve my anxiety, sleep, and overall wellbeing, Sarika and I also sought to improve my fertility after trying unsuccessfully for 1.5 years. While this was initially a long-term goal of six months of treatment, I started feeling great, sleeping better, and Sarika's magic touch led to pregnancy in only about eight sessions. The staff is very professional and welcoming, and it has been a wonderful experience to have all these positive results. I highly recommend Soma Acupuncture for anyone looking for a more holistic approach to managing their overall wellness. read more

Decided to try acupuncture again and was pleasantly surprised. I was pretty skeptical at first because I've been to other acupuncture places and wasn't expecting much help initially. But after my first treatment, I felt so much better. Sarika was very knowledgeable and literally uses needles from the top of my head to the bottom of my foot treating any ailment I had. But I was there primarily for my chronic low back pain. After the treatment was finished I got off the table to move around, my back felt amazing. The soreness and achiness I had was gone! I definitely recommend giving acupuncture a try if it's your first time. Sarika is very kind and compassionate and really cares that you get better. read more

I had a great experience at Soma! The place is has a very peaceful and calming ambience. I had a great experience with Sarika and she really helped me with my shoulder and back problems with different modalities. She was very knowledgeable about the musculoskeletal system and gave special attention to my injured muscles/nerves. It felt good to have a hands on experience and nerve stimulation instead of just taking Ibuprofen. I walked alway feeling more aligned and felt like my time was well spent. I highly recommend her! read more

Sarika is a life saver! I came to her per a friend's recommendation after I'd tweaked my neck and nothing else was helping to heal it. I wasn't sure what to expect -- it was truly a last-ditch effort. But through her sessions I was able to get my full range of motion back, and also release years of tension I'd been holding on to. I've seen such an improvement, and can't recommend her enough (especially if you've never had acupuncture, like me)! read more

I strongly recommend getting treated at Soma. I feel the difference that same day and the next day I have energy. As a covid long hauler, I did not think there was anything I could do to feel better, but Soma has made a believer out of me :) Dr. Toni read more

I came here on by referral from a friend for a shoulder injury. Sarika was nice enough to squeeze me in for my first appointment. She very friendly, professional and spent time to analyze my injury before doing anything. Her treatment worked right away. I left with my shoulder feeling more relaxed, loose, and range of motion came back. I have a few more future appointments scheduled so i cant wait til my shoulder gets back to normal! Thanks Sarika read more

My experience with Sarika has been fantastic! I've been suffering from jaw tightness and accompanying teeth pain for a few years that was aggravated in my pregnancy. Acupuncture has helped heal both, as well as other hormonal and digestion issues. I love the calm atmosphere - going is like a midday treat! read more

I love this place! Sarika is exceptional at what she does. My hands and feet were stiff and achy. After one treatment i could feel the circulation improve. She really explains her treatment and the reasons why they help. She's also treating my hot flashes and anyone they can help me regulate my temperature deserves 10 stars! read more

I've been having a lot of pain in my hand and shoulder. I was refer to Sarika's place. Someone like me who's afraid of needles, she made me feel so comfortable. Her place is clean and she's very professional. She's not only needle me but she also did suction cups to help release all the toxic from my body. After her session was over I felt great. I will definitely be coming back and see her weekly!! I highly recommend this place for anyone. read more

I went to Soma twice for my back pain. The way she treated such as doing cupping therapy and acupuncture was extremely magical! My back pain faded away for few days. Many thanks to Dr. Conner for her patience with me. Highly recommend you to all to her magical acupuncture. read more

Dr. Sarika is the bomb diggity! I followed her when she was an intern at Yo San University Clinic. She has been treating me for my migraines and helps me manage my stress levels. I appreciate you more than words can express! read more

I first met Sarika when she was teaching prenatal yoga classes back in 2011. Sarika would bring a skeleton to class for us to visualize how alignment poses would reflect in our body. It is this attention to detail that had me follow her on her journey to Acupuncturist and I was eager to be a patient. In addition to her intuitive and detail specific skills for healing Sarika has embraced creating a safe space during the COVID-19 pandemic like no other doctor I have been to. Upon arriving at her space you are temperature checked and sanitized. Sarika is careful to build her schedule to avoid patient over-lap. She uses a UV Light Sanitizer Wand on all surfaces and each room has an AirDoctor filter. She provides the latest updates on how best to prevent the virus and has been an amazing resource through this changing time. When I arrived post pandemic she swapped out my cloth mask for an N95 mask because it is optimal in preventing particle transference. I am so grateful to have her on my healing journey. I give her my highest recommendation. read more

A friend referred me to Sarika and I couldn't be more happier! I've been having chronic pain and aches due to a major car accident from two years ago that never quite went away. I've tried many routes such as chiropractic and massaging remedies along with physical therapy and yoga. But none works quite like the acupuncture Sarika does on me! I always leave feeling a lot lighter and less pain after each session! Did I mention acupuncture also helps you feel relaxed afterwards too? She is outstanding with the way she educates me on her procedure so that I feel more at ease with the thought of needles in me. I cannot wait to heal with Soma. read more

I Started getting acupuncture because my lower back was in so much pain and nothing was helping. Sarika is so professional and so knowledgeable. I felt much better after one time seeing her, but I did continue until there was no pain. After a few sessions with her I have not had any back pain whatsoever. I continue to go to her for my overall health and digestion and I have noticed a big difference. She is so gentle, you barely even feel the needles. It is so relaxing, and I can always tell an immediate change for the better after my session. read more

I was initially skeptical about getting acupuncture. After not getting much relief from my other doctors, I started seeing Sarika for my shoulder pain. I am so glad I found her!! I noticed an immediate improvement after my first session! I am now a huge fan of acupuncture. Sarika immediately put me at ease and was extremely patient with me. I will definitely be back. read more
