You deserve to live a healthy life, not one limited by chronic, debilitating conditions. However, Western medicine doesn't always offer the well-rounded, balanced treatments you need to really thrive. Dr. Shani A. Cooper at Root & Soul in La Mesa is on a mission to help you improve your health and well-being through the balance and integration of science, botanical, and traditional medicine.
The chronic discomfort caused by fibromyalgia can impact every aspect of your life. Not only can this condition lead to significant pain throughout your musculoskeletal structure, but it can also lead to fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues. These concerns are often ignored and can become worse because of medical professionals inclined to disbelieve or discount your suffering.
When suffering from depression, you should never feel shamed or embarrassed. This is one of the most common mental health disorders in United States, with over 16.2 million Americans suffering from the condition. But while so many suffer from depression, it can still seem as though you're alone when struggling with this condition.
Digestion is an essential function for the human body and plays a significant role in our overall health. However, many people suffer from discomfort and other negative effects after they eat, often without receiving a vital diagnosis. Dr. Shani A. Cooper at Root & Soul in La Mesa can help you determine if the pain, discomfort, or other symptoms you experience are a signal of a larger concern.

The moment I met Dr. Shani I knew I was in Good hands. Her energy is warm, welcoming and comforting. We were able to talk about all of my needs and what I was hoping to receive from her with my treatments. She was open and honest with me and answered all of my questions. Every treatment felt like a spa day. From Moxa, herbal teas, foot soaks, acupuncture and cupping, Dr. Shani has helped me to keep my body and mind aligned. I was definitely one of the ones who was a bit unsure about the needles with the acupuncture treatments, but let me reassure you, there is absolutely nothing to be worried about

I started seeing Dr. Shani Cooper for acupuncture treatments to address chronic stress, back/neck pain and digestive problems and the results have been amazing! I'll admit, at first I was a skeptic (and have a phobia of needles). Nevertheless, Dr. Cooper quickly put me at ease (and the very small acupuncture needles didn't bother me at all). What struck me the most, however, was her true, genuine concern for my health and well-being. I highly recommend her services!

Dr. Shani Cooper is an amazing person! I'm so grateful that a friend recommended me to get treatment. When I first met her, I had serious issues with my knees and ankles as I was working and pushing my body hard to make a comeback to professional basketball. Dr. Cooper gave me the proper treatment, care, attention and helped my body get back to a point where I could at least function on the court. I learned so much about blood flow in the lower extremities and also about making changes to my diet. I made the roster recently and I look forward to continuing to have Shani treat me as I am two months

I need to share what a life changing experience it is visiting Root + Soul acupuncture. As someone who has been hesitant to try acupuncture, I have to say that Dr. Shani Cooper is amazing. It is rare in today's day and age to meet true healers, those people who are not only skilled but truly care about helping, and Dr. Cooper is the very best. From the moment you walk in you can feel the positive energy, and by the time you leave you feel better mind, body, and soul. As with any other treatment remember there is no magic pill and sometimes you will need a few sessions to get the

I came in for a consult with Shani on a friend's recommendation and could not have had a better experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and did a great job sitting me down to go over my needs before helping me to decide on the best treatment options for me.
After my first treatment, I ended up taking some "Evil Bone Water" spray home with me to use as needed. This stuff is amazing. You should absolutely ask her about it!

I highly Recommend Root and Soul. Shani is extremely knowledgeable, and I felt like she really listened to all my concerns. I find that a rare quality to find in the medical profession these days.
I have been having upper back and shoulder pain for a long time now. Most like a symptom of my desk job. I tried physical therapy, chiro, 2 different doctors and 2 MRI's nothing seemed to help. So I decided to give acupuncture a try. It's too early to tell if i'm cured, but i'll be back later to review.
I'm not going to lie, I'm not so great with needles. But Shani took

If you want to feel better than you have in years, Make your appointment now, you won't find better!! I have been to a lot of acupuncturist over the years for many different body and mind issues and Root+Soul is the right description for Shani. Best treatment I have ever received! Will be back very soon!

Root+Soul truly embodies their name. Shani takes great care to treat the whole body and soul.
I came to her to find relief from Achilles tendonitis and to help ease the every day stressors of life (anxiety, exhaustion, that feeling you get when you just "can't" anymore).
Not only did she completely relieve my pain (in just ONE treatment, seriously?! Yes. Seriously.), but she also put me in such a deep state of comfort and relaxation, that I have been feeling AMAZING and more even keeled ever since. She pays great attention to detail and ensures that her patients feel safe and

Simply put, Shani is AMAZING! I went in for back and shoulder issues that have bothered me for years and even after the first session I noticed a difference. Shani is incredibly knowledgable with a deep understanding both the science and the art... I had never tried acupuncture before working with Shani and I am so glad that I did. Now it's a part of my weekly routine and she never ceases to impress with how well she can pinpoint (no pun intended) the issue and I always leave feeling much better than when I walked in. I DEFINITELY recommend Shani and Root+Soul.

I can't say enough great things about Shani! I've visited her practice several times now for Acupuncture, cupping, and Wellness treatments. She's definitely skilled in her art form, and while she's incredibly knowledgeable in her field, she seems to ALSO have an innate intuition as to what could be troubling you and how to remedy the issues. Usually when I see her it's for joint, muscle, and intestinal issues... But lately we have honed in on the fact that I am starting to show symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. My wrist and hand was so sore the day I saw her, but in the
