Root and Soul

Root & Soul Acupuncture is a La Mesa-based integrative health practice serving the greater San Diego area, offering acupuncture, herbal medicine, and birth support for people navigating fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. Founded by Dr. Mama Shani, DACM, L.Ac., Root & Soul blends the precision of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a whole-person approach that honors the body as intelligent, not broken. Every treatment plan is built around your constitution, your cycle, and your goals, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Root & Soul supports San Diego-area professionals, high-achievers, and families who are ready to invest in care that actually meets them where they are. Specializing in fertility and IVF support, pregnancy care, and postpartum recovery, the practice bridges the gap between what a reproductive specialist or OB provides and what the body actually needs to thrive. Clients don't just feel better, they feel genuinely supported, deeply seen, and equipped with a real plan. Whether someone is preparing for a retrieval cycle, navigating pregnancy, or recovering from birth, Root & Soul offers the continuity of care that conventional medicine rarely provides.

Root & Soul brings value to the TEAM San Diego community as a trusted referral partner for any member whose clients, employees, or network are navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, or postpartum recovery. Dr. Mama Shani is available for cross-referrals with chiropractors, OBGYNs, therapists, fitness professionals, and wellness-adjacent businesses. The practice also offers a group education program for people actively in, or preparing for, an IVF cycle, making it easy to refer clients who need more than a clinic appointment but aren't sure where to start.
