What people say
”There truly aren’t enough good things I could say about my experience with Sofia and how acupuncture with her has directly impacted my life. After 3 hard years of trying to get pregnant with no luck, I started seeing Sofia weekly for acupuncture sessions with the goal of improving fertility. After just 2 months of our weekly sessions and implementing the daily Chinese herbs she recommended, we successfully became pregnant! We couldn’t believe it!
Now halfway through my pregnancy, Sofia has helped me through the first trimester morning sickness and excruciating sciatica pain in the second trimester. When the sciatica hit, I was truly amazed with the amount of relief I felt immediately following our sessions. Sofia’s work has been such a gift to my life, and I’m so grateful to be under her gentle and effective care as I continue on this journey to motherhood.”
Kara Trigaux, Ojai
”Wow! Sofia is the best of the best. She is a master practitioner while also being delightfully friendly, welcoming, kind and compassionate. So grateful for my session with her.🙏”
Antonio, San Francisco
”I’ve received acupuncture for the last 20 years and started seeing Sofia last year. Her treatments have been a huge level up for me! Reduction in physical pain as well as emotional stress and trauma related symptoms. Her warm presence allows me to trust and deeply relax into my treatment. So grateful to have found her!”
Kimberly Sampson, Ojai
"Acupuncture with Sofia is a gift to experience- with a gentle touch, in depth knowledge and grounded intuition she always supports what my body is calling for. A true healing blessing in many ways!"
Amy Wilson BCNWP, CNHP
”I came to Sofia after my favorite acupuncturist moved from Ojai. I wasn’t expecting to be impressed because I didn’t know much about her. But she completely won me over after just one or two sessions. She’s so incredibly intuitive and really helped me pinpoint what some of my issues were. She doesn’t just treat the surface symptoms, but rather really focuses on the root cause of the issue. And because of this she brought about some deep changes in me that I wasn’t expecting. She especially helped me with anxiety issues. She was able to really calm me, and after several sessions, that calm became more of a deep part of me. And, as an extra treat, she’s also a lovely, kind person. I highly recommend her!”
Lisa Adair, Ojai
"I love Sofia's treatments! They are so deeply healing. I have been seeing Sofia over the last several years for a variety of issues - most recent from a car accident. Her treatments have provided great lasting relief from pain and discomfort. Sofia is truly a healer - tapping into her knowledge and skills to treat my individual issues. I highly suggest you book an appointment with Sofia soon!"
Kim Rapholtz, Ojai
”It was wonderful working with Sofia to have acupuncture. It was easy and comfortable working with her never feeling the needles. Her area is really clean and neat and I enjoyed the sessions I had with her. Thank you so much Sofia for your help. It eased the pain in my back and was well worthwhile.”
Eileen Khan, Ojai
"I experienced acupuncture treatment before and it felt more like a regular doctor visit. So my experience with Sofia was such a pleasant surprise. It felt like a healing session. She has very calm and centered presence. I loved how she used herbal oils on me as part of her treatment plan. It immediately relaxed me as if I was receiving energy work such as Reiki. And I am an energy healer myself. Even the way she put needles in me was so gentle and non-invasive. The swollen in my left eye was gone a few hours later and I felt really good the next day. I would deinitey recommend Sofia's work to anyone."
Lepeng Li, Ojai
"Sofia's treatments are both gentle and deeply healing. My daughter suffers from anxiety and stress and often asks if she can please go see Sofia when she is feeling out of sorts. I have also had several treatments myself and find that Sofia seems to know intuitively just what a person needs."
Lia Zitta, Ojai
"Sofia has been giving me very effective treatments now for several years for stress, low energy and back pain. Always satisfied."

What does acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine can treat just about anything under the sun due to it’s far reaching, holistic diagnostic system and treatment approach. However, an area where acupuncture truly excels but is lesser known is for mental / emotional and stress related problems. People who seek a therapist would many times benefit from getting regular acupuncture treatments as well because of how the body holds our distress. Anxiety, depression and insomnia are proven to be helped by acupuncture.
Fertility can be greatly improved by acupuncture and chinese herbs. It is also a wonderful support during pregnancy as well as in the post partum period.
The side effects of cancer treatments can be alleviated by acupuncture. There is substantial research showing positive effects for nausea, vomiting, stress, fatigue, pain, dry mouth, night sweats etc.
Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraines and lyme disease are other stubborn conditions where acupuncture and chinese herbs can provide relief.
Acupuncture is well known to be very effective for pain. Low back, shoulders, elbows, headaches, hips and knees are commonly treated areas.
It is an excellent medicine for any women’s concerns, from painful periods to menopausal symptoms and libido.
Any problem with the digestive system such as constipation, IBS or celiac disease, responds well to regulation by acupuncture.
The respiratory system; allergies, asthma common colds etc. is another area where studies have shown success.
Lesser known disorders that truly benefit are shingles, herpes and other viral outbreaks.
If you are not sure if acupuncture can help you, don’t be shy to reach out and ask.

What if I'm afraid of needles?
This is common and very understandable. Who enjoys getting poked and prodded for a blood draw or receiving an injection? The good news is that unlike the needles at your doctor's office, the acupuncture needles used here are thinner than a hair. These near- invisible needles are often times inserted without you feeling anything at all, and when you do, it's a different sensation altogether; more of an activation of the energy at the acupuncture point. However, if you truly can't stand the idea of having any needles inserted; dont worry. Placing Essential Oils on the acupuncture point is almost as powerful. The individual nature of the oils in combination with their scent cause deep reaching effects, especially well suited for emotional concerns.
