Low back, joint, or headache pain wearing you down? This is a direct path to relief, not a fertility program.
Bloating, irregular digestion, a gut that never settles? Acupuncture treats that directly.
Painful periods, perimenopause, or the year around birth? This is the specialty Root & Soul is built for.
Welcome to Root and Soul…
What to expect at your first visit
We start with a real conversation, not a form. I ask what’s going on, what you want to change, and we build a plan together before any treatment begins.
The needles are hair-thin. Most people feel a pinch, if anything.
This isn’t just fertility and birth work, I treat chronic pain, gut health, and hormone issues for anyone who walks through the door, not only mothers.
Root & Soul is a real clinic in La Mesa, serving San Diego.
Welcome to Root and Soul
You deserve care that honors every layer of you.
Meet Dr. Shani
Dr. Shani Cooper is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist, Full-Spectrum Doula and Certified Lactation Educator. Her clinical and academic experience includes studying, lecturing and treating patients in China and Tibet.
She provides personalized, whole-person care for fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, hormonal health, pain, digestion and nervous system support.
When you reach out to Root & Soul, you’ll work directly with Dr. Shani to understand what is happening in your body, what you want to change and the care most likely to support you.
Welcome to Root and Soul…
The practice of Dr. Shani Cooper, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Full-Spectrum Doula, and the practitioner who holds the whole picture.
From hormonal balance to conscious conception, empowered birth to deep postpartum healing, this is radically nurturing, science-rooted care for the whole person you are.
I have a passion for working with people at the intersection of where ancient medicine meets the most profound moments of a human life: preparing your body for conception, moving through pregnancy with full support, birthing with power and presence, and healing deeply in the weeks and months that follow. I also love using traditional medicine to balance hormones for painful or irregular periods, and changing perimenopause/menopause journeys that leave you defeated.
This work, what I call AcuDoula care, is precise, personalized, and rooted in something most modern medicine skips entirely: you as a whole person. Your hormones, your nervous system, your lineage, your vision for your family.
Not just your labs.
If you’ve been looking for a practitioner who will hold the whole picture… welcome. You’re in the right place.
