⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Got an amazing acupuncture treatment from Andrew Eng! He made such a huge difference on my energy and stress levels. You can tell he’s extremely knowledgeable and experienced. I can’t wait for my next treatment from him!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just had the most relaxing and revitalizing acupuncture session with Dr, Joseph. His calming energy and thorough knowledge of what was out of balance in my body was so impressive! After getting poked, I nearly fell asleep (that never happens for me with acupuncture). I feel like I left both lighter in my worries and lighter in pain in my body. I can't recommend Root and Stem enough and Dr. Joseph!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a prenatal acupuncture appointment with Shoshi and felt amazing afterwards. She treated my debilitating first trimester nausea and released some of my neck pain and tension with her gua sha treatment. She was compassionate, gentle (yet effective), and a great listener. If you are looking for a great acupuncturist in the Nevada City area, I highly recommend Shoshi!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dr Parker is so knowledgeable that she helped me with things I didn't even know I needed help with. I came for support dealing with a very large fibroid, for this she was crucial in helping slow some of the worst symptoms (bleeding, anxiety and frustration, nutrient depletion) understanding how to use natural hormones to support my system while I also had to keep working with Western medicine because my situation was quite escalated.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I found Root and Stem when I was pregnant and have continued going for years. Every practitioner there is kind, understanding and effective. I have been working with Jessica for over a year and have seen incredible results with pain management, hormonal support, and so much more. Love working with her!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m about 3 weeks after my first micro needling session with Jessica and I’m already obsessed! Her office is warm and cozy, I felt like I was at a friends house. She definitely goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Went to see Dr. Jessica because I had hives that manifested overnight and wanted to get at the root cause instead of just taking antihistamines. Jessica ordered a blood test for me that showed I was dehydrated - which reduced my body's ability to deal with histamines and toxins - and my liver was working too hard. So I did a liver detox and allergen elimination diet ... and don't have hives anymore!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'm so happy with my microneedling sessions from Dr. Jessica @ Root & Stem! It was the perfect addition to my skin routine & I could see my skin renewed the next day. It felt very comfortable to have this done by a practitioner I already know & love & I can't wait to have my next session.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is mind blowing how much Joseph can tell about my body from listening to my pulse. He really is highly skilled and also such a genuine and friendly practitioner. He has a great touch and an excellent way of communicating with my body.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars are NOT enough. I've been going to Root & Stem for about ten years. I've been treated by at least five different acupuncturists there over the years and they have all been wonderful. I've had a couple serious and annoying conditions (diverticulitis & trigeminal neuralgia) successfully treated with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, thus avoiding the alleged western medicine pharmaceutical treatments with their own lousy side effects.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was the first time I received an acupuncture facial and it was awesome! Jessica makes you feel comfortable right from the start. It was relaxing and I truly felt rejuvenated when I left. Also, her Celluma LED facial lamp was really cool. I can't wait for my next treatment!
