I recently called Angela in distress over some sciatica pain during my half marathon training. I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to participate in the run. I came in THAT DAY and saw Dr. Ciara in their beautiful new office in Murphy Canyon. She was gentle with my feelings, attentive and knowledgeable. The treatment itself was perfect and she finished off with cupping, my favorite. Her recommendation was to do clam shells to activate my glutes and that advice was SPOT ON. I completed my half marathon this past weekend and I couldn't have done it without her. I highly recommend Dr. Ciara!! read more

I have been going to Angela over at Calm San Diego for almost 10 years. I started to seek help for infertility and came across Angela and was so pleased with the services she provided and her attention and detail to her clients. Her office is super clean and calming. (Hence the name Calm) I am always so relaxed when I leave and count down the minutes till my next appointment. I have since gotten pregnant and still continue to see her for other treatments. She is so helpful in the advice and treatments she provides. I trust her knowledge and products immensely. I can't recommend Calm San Diego enough. read more

I had a great experience working with Dr. Ciara at Calm San Diego. I had never had acupuncture before, and Ciara really listened to me and explained everything so I would know exactly what to expect. Not only did she help me with my elbow tendonitis and pain, she also helped me sleep better too. And I was able to use my insurance! Thanks Dr. Ciara! Cannot recommend her enough! read more

I've been going to Calm now for a few years, run don't walk here!! The team is so caring, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They do so much work to help navigate insurance, just above and beyond. I've had so much relief with my anxiety, gut issues, and depression. Angela and Jenna are true healers! Thank you! read more

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Calm San Diego. I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Angela for over five years. Before considering Calm San Diego, I did a lot of research about what to expect from an acupuncturist and from acupuncture care so that I could be an informed patient. I also read so many Yelp reviews. Time and again my search brought me back to Calm San Diego; so I made a consultation appointment with Angela. From the moment I met Angela, she treated my health concerns with compassion and eased my concerns about trying acupuncture for pain management. The peaceful environment Angela has created, her ability to listen, ask questions, and exude joy in helping others feel better comes through every time I have an appointment. While each person's needs are unique, I have found that Angela's combination of needles, cupping, and essential oils always brings pain relief and a more balanced nervous system after every appointment. read more

Angela and Jenna are phenomenal individuals who go way above and beyond even when they don't need to. Angela has been helpful in correcting an issue with billing and insurance, and Jenna takes her time to learn what worked from previous acupuncture sessions and incorporates that. She listens to my bodily complaints and gives me insight and tips. I honestly think she knows my body better than any of the specialists I see, I wish every practitioner showed Jenna's level of care, empathy, and understanding! read more

I had a migraine and neck pain for 4 days. The pain got progressively worse despite using headache medicine, ice packs, and essential oils. On the fifth morning after not sleeping all night due to the pain, I looked for somewhere to get acupuncture same day. I came across Calm San Diego on Yelp and made an appointment. I immediately noticed how clean and serene the office was. The person I had originally been scheduled to see had an emergency, so I ended up seeing Ciara. She was a kind and compassionate listener. She gathered some information, then treated me with acupuncture and cupping. It was a very relaxing appointment, but I wasn't sure it had treated issue. A couple hours later I noticed a HUGE difference in how I was feeling. I can still feel some tightness in my neck but the headache is gone. My energy is up and now I'm ready to go back tomorrow haha I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I love Calm San Diego! I see Michelle, and she is just a breath of fresh air. This is my first acupuncture experience, and she immediately made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. I look forward to my appointments and the atmosphere is just so positive. 10/10 recommend! read more

I want to let you know my experience with Jenna Sanborn at Calm San Diego was fantastic! She helped me with my bunion pain, gout and overall foot pain in a matter of 6 weeks. I was having so much difficulty walking and was in constant pain. I had been to 2 different podiatrists and all they wanted to was operate. Jenna's knowledge of accupunture and the human body along with her caring heart found a way to erase my pain and allow me to walk again comfortably. Highly reccomend this business and especially Jenna! read more

I began seeing Jenna here recently and I couldn't be more pleased. She is so knowledgeable and genuinely cares about my progress. The entire staff is warm and engaging and the office itself is very calming. I highly recommend Jenna and Calm San Diego if you are new to acupuncture or even if you have previously had treatment. I give my highest recommendation. Thank you! read more

Absolutely over the top professional care. The Calm team is so knowledgeable, compassionate and focused on the overall well-being of their clients. My first acupuncture experience and a previous somewhat skeptic to a strong believer. Could not be more pleased with Angela, Michelle and the entire Calm San Diego team - really terrific care ! read more

I found Angela here on yelp because I've been dealing with back pain due to a work injury. I could not be any more happier with her. She has this way to show she really cares. She listens to you and what your needs are to help get you back to feeling better. I didn't have the best experience on my first time with a previous acupuncturist but Angela changed my whole perception of it. She's gentle and tries her best to ensure you have a great experience. On top of her A+++ customer service, she is one of the sweetest and nicest people I've come across. Definitely not just my acupuncturist but now a friend I can just talk to during our sessions as well. Thank you Angela for everything you've done for me so far to get me back to good health. read more

Where do I even start? Angela is the one of the most caring, sweetest, understanding individuals, I have ever met! She really listens to what you have to say. I came to her at a time when my gynecologist wanted me to go through with surgery, due to endometriosis. She has completely helped me with all the symptoms associated with endometriosis, to the point where they are non existent. She is further helping me with my fertility issues. She also has made a herb "potion" that is seriously magic! I am very thankful for everything she has done for me. Don't think twice if you're on the fence about doing acupuncture, Angela is amazing! read more

I've been seeing Michelle for months and I'm blown away. I've dealt with emotional issues, stress and physical pain in varying amounts for a while and decided to give acupuncture a try after trying many healing methods. As soon as I met with Michelle, I had a good feeling that this was going to be successful treatment for me. Michelle is extremely nurturing and intuitive. She takes a thorough history and asks the right questions about your physical and emotional body, but she also has an intuitive knowing and the ability to read your body and energy to uncover things others would miss. She's also very gentle -- I oftentimes don't even know the needles are going in as she's working on me. I feel very safe and at ease when working with her, which is so key for this kind of treatment. When I leave, I feel calmer, lighter somehow and like I'm making progress in the areas for which I'm seeking help. I can't recommend Michelle enough if you're looking for a gifted healer who is knowledgeable, gentle yet powerful in her craft and delivers results. read more

Angela is a great Acupunturist and healer. I was struggling with pain in my neck and shoulders as well as tingling in my toes. Her treatment greatly relieved my pain and left me feeling relaxed and calmer. I would highly recommend her services! read more

I did the CALM program with Angela and Michelle and they were both amazing! It has been such a unique pleasure to experience acupuncture and cupping as a new way to de-stress and feel like myself again. This helped with my anxiety, stress and overall joint pain I was feeling. Thank you Angela and Michelle! read more

I am so grateful to have found this place! Angela and her team are so experienced and have loads of knowledge when it comes to acupuncture, cupping, massage, and more. I look forward to each of my sessions every week as I know I'll always leave feeling refreshed. The whole experience is customized to each person, so to start off, they asked me health related questions and from there we focused on what was important to me which at the time were my sleeping patterns. I noticed as the weeks went by that I felt lighter and in a better mood after my sessions. It really helped with my stress levels and helped me relax during busy weeks. If you haven't ever tried acupuncture and are scared it might hurt, I was right there with you. The ladies at Calm did a great job at explaining everything and making the experience painless. I will keep reccommending my friends and family to visit here! read more

My goodness... the reviews on Michelle are true! Just had myself a 60min massage and she's so in-tune, mindful & pleasant to be around. Don't hesitate! Do yourself a favor if you're body craving it ;)) read more

Angela and Michelle are absolute magicians! They make you feel so at home in the office, cared for, and listened thoroughly to my check-ins before beginning to make sure I was getting exactly what I needed. I struggle with a leg length discrepancy and their work on me made it feel so much better than it has in years! I plan on continuing a treatment plan at Calm for a long time. read more

I feel well cared for by Michelle at Calm. With every treatment she makes the effort to listen to my needs. I can tell she pays attention because any issue I express (pain, stress, etc.) feels relieved almost immediately after the treatment. She has such a natural and warm presence that always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I am so deeply grateful and will continue returning to Michelle and referring others! read more

I highly recommend Calm! The environment is warm and full of good vibes. Jenna has helped me tremendously. I was drowning in doctor's appointments for 2 years with no answers except medication. I decided to try acupuncture for my interstitial cystitis and abnormal periods. After 3 months of consistent acupuncture and herbs I have fully got my quality of life back. I never thought I would feel normal/pain free again. All the time and care and attentiveness I receive from Jenna each appointment is above and beyond. She looks at my patterns and addresses each issue. I am forever grateful hope anyone out there struggling will try the acupuncture route. read more

I absolutely loved getting acupuncture and cupping done by Angela! I highly recommend her...it was very relaxing and my shoulders already feel better. read more

Wow this was exactly what I needed - thank you so much Michelle!! After seeing multiple doctors, this is finally what helped with my stomach issues and I am so grateful. And bonus, things are seeming lighter and easier as you helped me shed and move some stuck energy. THANK YOU !! read more

Angela is simply amazing. Not to be dramatic but she completely changed my whole perspective on natural ways to heal my body. She's one of the best acupuncturist that Southern California has to offer. The whole clinic is immaculate and everyone makes you feel special. The needles are painless. The cupping is painless. Yet everything is perfect. And you'll be guaranteed to fall asleep. If your in need of a acupuncturist and kind humans, check out Angela and the dynamic team of Calm San Diego. read more

I'm on month three of acupuncture with Angela. Every appointment I've had has been incredibly relaxing. I used to get daily headaches from stress and now I get them rarely. On my first appointment Angela recommended a massage and cupping to help with the tension in my shoulders and neck and it's been great. The combo of acupuncture, massage, and cupping have really helped me release stress. I look forward to my appointments every week. Thank you Angela. read more

I was searching for Apex Energetics when my wife came across Angel Yvonne Acupunture. I immediately called and spoke with Angela, who confirmed most of the products I've been looking for she had in her inventory and the one she didn't have she was willing to order. We appreciate her kindness and customer service! Looking forward to acupuncture services in the future. read more

I cannot recommend Calm San Diego enough. If you have issues with pain and anxiety, accupuncture is a must! I have been going to Michelle for a few months now and she is really great at what she does. She really listens to me and tailors my treatment to my needs. I always leave my appointments feeling incredibly blissed out and feeling so much relief. Michelle is such a warm soul with such a glowing energy to be around! She truly goes above and beyond to ensure that I get the most relief from my treatments, and she's so easy to talk to! I'm grateful I found Calm San Diego and Michelle especially!! read more

Coming to Calm it was my first experience with Acupuncture and Cupping. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but Angela and Michelle made me feel very comfortable and answered any question that I had. They walked me through what the treatments would be like, which made me feel at ease every time I came into the office for my next appointment. I highly recommend Calm San Diego for any treatment that you may need. They make sure to tailor each appointment and treatment to make you feel your best!!! read more

Came to Angela without ever trying acupuncture before with a insane amount of back pain from lifting. By the next day I had a significant amount of instant relief and could bend over again. Definitely made me believe in this practice and will keep coming back! She is super helpful, nice, clean, and willingly to listen to what you say! read more

Angela has been a miracle worker for my back and neck pain. After suffering chronic back pain for years, I was told I needed surgery about a year ago. I started seeing Angela regularly and my back pain is now minimal and manageable, without the need for surgery. Angela is so kind, gentle, and compassionate. It is clear that she truly cares about the health and well being of her patients. I am normally afraid of needles, so acupuncture was intimidating and scary. Angela is patient, understanding, and her demeanor puts me at ease. In fact, despite my needle fear, I've often fallen asleep during treatment because I was so relaxed. Aside from my neck and back pain, Angela has also helped me with tension headaches, anxiety, and a few other things. I highly recommend Angela, she's spectacular!!! read more

If I could give Angela 10 stars, I would. After two sessions with her, my digestion was a lot better and bloatedness I was having for the past month went away. Thank you again Angela!! read more

This review is way overdue but I have to share my wonderful experience with Angela. From the beginning to the end, Angela was friendly, attentive, and professional. She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed at every session and really listens to your concerns to figure out how to help. She is easily accessible through text and email and always responded back with appointment times and questions. I initially came to see her for neck pain (which instantly improved with cupping and acupuncture) but after some difficulty getting pregnant, I underwent fertility treatment with her (she specializes in alternative fertility treatment). After conducting a thorough evaluation, she recommended herbal supplements and acupuncture. Throughout the process, she was empathetic and genuinely cared about me and my health. I got pregnant after 3 months and she was instrumental in treating my pregnancy-related issues such as nausea, fatigue and thyroid imbalances with acupuncture. She's really good with needles that I barely feel them. I'm so glad I found Angela before considering IVF/other fertility treatments. Not only did she save me a ton of money, but I was able to get pregnant and manage my pregnancy complications without using medications. She also ends every session with the best massage ever! If you are looking into acupuncture and herbal medicine, call Angela for a consultation. You won't regret it! read more

Lower back pain gone after 1 visit. Amazing!!! After visiting doctor and chiropractor over the past 3 months with no improvement Michelle removed my lower back pain! read more

I am currently seeing Angela every few weeks for my stiff neck/back and I look forward to each and every appointment. Angela made my first acupuncture experience a great and relaxing one. Like others have said on here, she is gentle, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She understands your concerns and finds a custom solution for you that works. She doesn't just know acupuncture, she also knows about other Chinese medicine techniques, massage, and healthy living and nutrition. Angela really cares about your health. She will text or call me to make sure I am feeling okay, which I really appreciate. She also practices what she preaches, having acupuncture treatments done herself. I'm really glad my path crossed with Angela's and you will be too! read more

Angela was very understanding dealing with a first time acupuncture recipient. I don't like needles but it seems that I like pain less. My back was hurting after being on my feet all day and finally broke down to do something about it. The first session went better than I had hoped for, I didn't even feel the needles go in. The second session had me feeling like there hadn't been any issues to begin with. Excellent job and a super caring practitioner. read more

Angela is a master at her work. She is ALWAYS so kind. I went in really wanting to work on my overall health, mentally and physically (now down over 20 lbs). I don't believe I could have gotten to where I am without her. She knows what I need even when I'm unsure. Seeing her has brought so much balance in my life. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent! Jenna and Angela treated me for 2 months and I felt better and better. This was my first Accupuncture experience and I highly recommend to anyone seeking pain relief in their feet and general wellness. Combined with daily vitamins, I was truly surprised by how quickly Accupuncture worked to help me detox and feel healthy. read more

I just had a treatment with Angela and I must report that all the positive reviews are legitimate. I was really impressed with her suggestions and her intuition on my issues all with a casual pleasant demeanor. I felt significantly better after her treatment and I'm grateful for all her offerings. I'd say overall she's one of the best acupuncturists around and I've been to dozens. read more

I had been seeing an acupuncturist for 20 years and when she retired I was certain I'd never find anyone who matched her skill set. Then I discovered Calm San Diego and acupuncturist, Michelle. In a word she's fantastic. I've gone to see her for all sorts of things, even a rotator cuff issue and a very bad fall I took which opened up my knee and it refused to heal. Michelle did some needle work on it and within 24 hours it was healing up. Truly incredible. I see her now for asthma, which also helps tremendously. She's thoughtful and really takes her time getting to know her patients and how she can help. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I play football for a local Semi pro team and I went to Angela after an injury to my knee. What I thought was a sprain turned out to be an ACL Tear. Now that I am recovered and done with initial rehab, I fully intend to go to Angela to promote additional comfort and healing in my knee. She has always provided me with a variety of treatment options and was very knowledgeable about acupuncture and massage. I highly recommend Angela as she turned a skeptic of acupuncture into a believer! read more
