I began working with Deanna Tasi at Tao To Wellness when I was starting my third round of IVF. I…read morehad never done acupuncture before, but heard good things about it helping with fertility, and wanted to see if trying something different this round would help. The studio is a very calming place to walk into, and Deanna was very warm and put me at ease. I really appreciate the calmness there, and always looked forward to my sessions. She was extremely knowledgable and competent in forging a plan for me to help in each stage of the IVF process. I felt in very safe hands, and though I don't really know how the magic of acupuncture works, it made all the difference for me. I got pregnant, and have had a very comfortable, mobile, sane, easy experience that I am so grateful to have had given the high risks of my pregnancy. I am now a week away from delivering my baby, and would recommend Tao to anyone struggling with health or fertility issues.

I really appreciated my experience here. I think I was an "open-minded skeptic" coming for my first…read moreever acupuncture. The approach to talking about my injury was "accessible" to my "western medicine" upbringing. And most importantly: my third visit was like turning the switch off for my pain. I probably had a pinched nerve in my neck, but due to delays seeing a pain specialist through my primary care, I was trying anything. I ultimately was seeing a "western medicine" doctor and Tao to Wellness at the same time. But the timing of my pain shutting off is strongly suggestive that acupuncture played a big part in shortening the duration (which my "western medicine" pain specialist had suggested would be possible). Deanna was my acupuncturist.

I can't recommend Candise enough! I originally found her for general and female wellness. But, she…read morehas also been a game-changer after I overdid it with some intense exercise and was struggling with persistent foot pain and nerve sensitivity. What makes her so great is how empathetic and thorough she is. She didn't just stick a few needles in and walk away; she actually took the time to figure out exactly what was contributing to the nerve issues. She used acupuncture to release the muscles in the entire surrounding area, and the relief was almost immediate. It was like she knew exactly where the tension was hiding before I even pointed it out. Candise has become a stable in my self-care routine. Whether it's a specific injury or keeping my body in balance, she's incredibly attentive and makes the whole experience feel super relaxed. She's an active listener and possesses an incredible diagnostic eye.

I had been experiencing persistent back discomfort and related symptoms that were impacting my day-to-day well-being. Her acupuncture treatment really hit the spot and eased a lot of tension. Through her thoughtful treatments, she's helped me find real relief and ease. She is incredibly thorough, kind, and comprehensive in her approach. Each session feels tailored to what my body needs in the moment, and she always takes time to explain what she's doing and why. I deeply appreciate her ability to combine technical expertise with genuine care and attentiveness. Beyond the treatments themselves, Candise creates such a warm and supportive environment. She listens closely, is easy to talk to, and makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the process. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating symptoms that are affecting their quality of life and looking for compassionate, effective support.

Back in LA I paid $65 flat every time I went to the community acupuncture clinic there and always thought the price was incredibly inaccessible despite it's name. Because of the sliding price range with $30 being the lowest, I had incredibly low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that their quality of work in no way represents the price you pay. Jorge knew exactly what he was doing and I was so appreciative that he also explained why he was placing the needles where he was. Their work is well worth the $50 and I highly encourage anyone who has the extra funds to support them!!
