I've literally referred at least 10 people the last year. I even drive them to their first treatment at times. Game changer for mental clarity/balance. Sarah at the front desk is very sweet and helpful. Dr. Simone truly cares and is a bundle of knowledge. read more

I am in perimenopause and have been having a lot of issues. Source has been helping me get to the core of my issues. After a month I am finally feeling better. Dr. Simone and Dr. Emmy are awesome. Very knowledgeable. read more

I had several sessions with Dr. Emmy and Dr. Simone, and both were wonderful. Dr. Emmy was incredibly kind and took the time to explain everything clearly, so I always knew what to expect. The sessions really helped me manage my pain, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout the process. This is a great group of acupuncturists, and you can feel confident in their skill, knowledge, and healing abilities. read more

Source is truly one of a kind. As a hard working sales professional who travels monthly for both work, photography, and personal reasons, works out daily, and has continuously been dealing with a load of physical problems, Source has truly been game changing in my daily and weekly life. Coming to Source I had brain fog, migraines daily, issues with sleep, issues with digestion, low or no energy, and problems with my overall health that were causing major issues in my day to day, my career, my love life, and more. I felt quite lost and no matter how many supplements I took or protocols I tried nothing worked. Dr. Simone spent an hour and a half understanding on our first meeting understanding the core issues and roots of my problems from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual place and helped build a detox protocol with me that included acupuncture, specific supplements, cupping, and e-stI'm treatment. She continuously checks in on me every session and has a deeper level of understanding what I need to continue to become a healthier version of myself. After 3 months working with her and her team I can confidently say I have seen MAJOR improvements in my daily energy levels, hormone regulation, and other problems. Source has become my favorite part of my week and I am extremely grateful I found this place. The care is next level and the staff is 10/10. Sarah is amazing as well and has been extremely accommodating. Thank you to the Source team, I love you guys. You have created a life long customer. read more

I went for a second visit today and really appreciated how well they took my last review. They not only reached out to me immediately to apologize and gather feedback, but they also refunded me. On my 2nd visit they were very thorough with more needles than before and had corrected the concerns mentioned in my previous review. Kristina was very helpful. Thank you. read more

I originally came to source during my first trimester of pregnancy to support with nausea and headaches. It was so supportive. I especially love seeing Dr Simone. It's a very calm & revitalizing place and they take the time to focus on individual needs. I come every week and have noticed a big improvement in many symptoms I've been experiencing during pregnancy! read more

On my first visit she left needles all over me, which resulted in poking me on my neck and shoulder. She had the room so dark that she clearly didn't see the needles were still in when she informed me I was through and said I could stand up. Then they completely try to push 101 supplements on you, which are very costly, creating a very high profit for them.., they pretend to care about healing you but that's not what's going on. read more

I have visited Source over the years for a variety of reasons. I love having the option to stop by the lounge or book a private room. My treatments have ranged from just a reset acupunture, cupping, microneedling, facial accupuncture and herbal consultation. Dr. Simone and her team of are all caring professionals who truly care about the wellbeing of the customers. I have recommended friends and family for years. read more

I love Source Empowered Wellness and all this place has to offer!! I've been getting MicroDermal needling & cosmetic acupuncture for a few months now. I have struggled with adult acne for over 2 years and nothing has worked for my skin like MicroDermal needling. I've only had 4 sessions, with Simone & Sharron (who I both LOVE!) and I cannot wait to continue treatments. Looking back on my before photos of my skin I really cannot believe it. I never realized how bad it was, but what I do remember is how much I did not feel like myself because of my skin. Growing up I never had blemishes so my seemingly uncontrollable acne was really taking a toll on my mental health, until now. I am so grateful for Simone & Sharron and Source Empowered Wellness! * I did have to wait for a lot of those blemishes to go down before my initial treatment to not spread bacteria around my face. Once they were not so inflamed and fresh I was able to start my first treatment. If I come in with a big blemish during a treatment Simone / Sharon will just avoid going over that area and treat the rest of my face. *Will continue to add after photos this month after my 5th treatment next week read more

Always great service and accommodations; always willing to listen to what's going on in my body/mind. Thanks to everyone at Source!

Source is wonderful! Dr. Simone is incredible. She takes her time with you to understand individual needs. I can't say enough positive things about her and the whole staff! read more

Buyer beware. Sessions or treatment plans have an 'expiration ' date. I purchased $800.00 worth of treatments and used at least half of them and had to take a break because I was out of the country but when I returned I was told that my remaining sessions had 'expired ' I was not told this upon my initial consultation. The treatments that I received were good but not as good as I had experienced with other acupuncturists. You should not be able to feel the needle and definitely not have them hit a nerve. This happened a few times at each session. For me, it was a convenience for their location, but now I know I need to drive a bit to get better treatments. I will go back to Dr. Wang going forward. read more

All of the staff has been easy to work with, proactive to answer all my questions and concerns as a person new to acupuncture. I have had one consultation and one treatment and am looking forward to following the protocols and hopefully feeling better soon. Nicolette is a great energy! read more

I have had a LOT of exposure to the healing arts and natural medicine. I'm confident when I say this group of practitioners provides service excellence. Sharron has worked acupuncture miracles for me after 3 sessions. ~ AND they accept my insurance! I cannot express enough how grateful I am. read more

Source is the only place I go to for acupuncture in San Diego. They take such good care of me The pricing is so reasonable and all the practitioners are all wonderful. I've been coming here consistently for around a year and acupuncture is one of my favorite healing modalities. I always leave feeling serene, zenned out like I'm floating on a cloud. There's also a Chiropractor in the office. He's walk-in/cash only. Trent has helped me out many times when I need a quick adjustment! So grateful for this place. If anyone is considering coming here, I encourage you to try it. read more

Dr Simone and her team are AMAZING. They are so calm and the space is incredibly healing. Acupuncture is such a weird science, it always surprises me when it works (let's be honest, is it magic?!). I have been to Source multiple times for acupuncture and cupping to address stress and neck, hip, & IT band muscle pain/tension. My appointments have been in the community room which has the most zen vibe. I feel like I enter a calming trance during treatments and walk out leaving so much better than when I came in. I have had acupuncture appointments at other facilities before, but they felt unhelpful or were very expensive. Source community room is reasonably priced, plus magical (did I say that already?!). They take insurance from American Specialty Health so, now I transitioned from out of pocket to insurance. I plan to join their membership option ($100/month for two visits each month, can purchase more) once my insurance visits are all completed. If you're looking for a healing acupuncture provider, Dr Simone at Source would be my recommendation. read more

This place is my favorite spot in pacific beach! Simone, Dylan and Sharron are amazing! They have different approaches that complement each other. I love seeing them all! I have the membership and it is worth every dolar. Acupuncture has helping me to heal many part of my body that was in pain. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Simone since 2014, and I highly recommend Simone. she's helped keep me off medication for asthma, and I have even come in with my 95 year old mother to give her support. read more

Seriously the best practitioners you will find for acupuncture and cupping! Everyone here is so lovely and welcoming, I always recommend Source to friends and coworkers in the area. Their memberships are a great deal too if you come in regularly for a specific injury or treatment. read more

An incredibly healing place! Martha is warm, friendly, and welcoming from the moment you enter in. Sharon is highly intuitive, compassionate, and skilled at acupuncture and cupping. She always seems to get it just right whenever I'm in pain, depressed, or just straight up burnt out with fatigue. I always leave feeling healed from the inside out. I am so blessed to have found such a healer and will continue to be a client forever. Thank you for all you do read more

My first visit, 5 needles were left in, I knew and advised, but she was ready to send me on my way -- that should have been a clue. I did request another acupuncturist -- liked her -- signed up and gave access to my credit card for a slight discount -- not realizing that I was obligating myself to 2 sessions a month. I wasn't that thrilled with the place/ Source, so I didn't return. Then get a call 3 months later that I was about to pay for 2 more sessions I hadn't used; (Sept and Oct) had already been charged. I requested on the phone call and in writing that I be able to use the lost sessions --- the answer is No. What a pathetic way to run a business. There are no ethics to this business owner, and the service is mediocre. Plus unless you want to pay more, you get a large lounge chair in a room with everyone else. read more

I highly recommend this place for personal health and care. It really works. Great space and practitioners.

Peaceful space. Simone is very knowledgeable and her energy is soothing as soon as you walk through the door. My pain was decreased immediately after my first session. Martha makes checking in swift and easy. read more

I love going to Source. The whole crew is very friendly, empathetic and very professional with a lot of experience. Kristina is amazing and my all time favorite I hurt myself in volleyball and dealing with sciatic nerve pain for couple weeks now. She is going above and beyond to heal my back and reduce my pain. It is for sure working. She has a lot of experience and knows exactly what to do to calm down the irritation. I am very grateful for her and for the entire team. read more

I've been hear many times for Accupuncture. I've had great service and results from Sharon & Simone. I will not see Dylan again l feel he is heavy- handed. My treatment with Dylan left me bruised and sore from the treatment. I've never had this happen after many years of Accupuncture treatments. read more

I came to Source Empowered Wellness a few months ago for some digestive issues that had been dictating my life for about 2 years with no answers in sight. I was battling inflammation, nausea, fatigue, and brain fog among other symptoms and within a month of acupuncture treatment and herbs, I was feeling the most like myself in 2 years. I am so grateful to have found this clinic and to be getting my life back. Source Empowered Wellness takes the time to understand its patients and offers the space for healing. I look forward to my weekly appointments and can't wait to see how I feel in a few months! read more

I've seen Dr. Simone now for a few years off and on with a big break in between when I got caught up with being a new mom and kind of forgot how incredible acupuncture is. Dr. Simone is intuitive and skilled. The moment she begins her work, I feel a flood of healing relaxation. No matter what question I ask her, she always has a thoughtful response that makes it clear that she cares. I feel that I am in excellent hands with her and her work has made a distinct impact for me in different areas of life. read more

Source Acupuncture has been a tremendous part of my healing. I started treatment 3 months ago due to a shoulder injury, tendinitis, insomnia, stress...a mess! The level of care received by all acupuncturist, and most recently Simone, has been thoughtfully tailored to my specific concerns. Simone treated my tendinitis, and it was gone within 1 treatment! The Healing Lounge is such a serene, meditative place that I usually do not want to leave. Very easy to make appointments, online or by phone, and monthly memberships are offered. Love, love, love. read more

As someone who has worked in the massage field, I can appreciate fully new and amazing ways for not only rejuvenation but a full nervous system reset. I feel so relaxed and renewed after each session - I love the red light therapy! And my skin, which had some damage from acne scars has a much more even and youthful look and feel. My friend got me into trying acupuncture (I can't even stand needles!). I was so surprise that it was nothing like I've ever imagine- the microdermal needling session did have some intensity so I choose to use the numbing cream and then it didn't hurt at all! Thank you to the Source Team - Sharron is incredibly knowledgeable and gentle. BTW, you definitely save by signing up for their Glam Up and Glow membership which includes all the perks of microdermal needling and two cosmetic acupuncture sessions in the lounge - PLUS you get discounts on massage and cupping. It might be the best deal in town for this service! read more

I have been attending The Source for accupunture treatments to treat chronic pain issues for several months. I can say both Dr. Simone and Nicollet have significantly aided in my healing journey! I feel much better after treatments, and the pain in my walking has decreased. The frequency on my migraines has also gone down. My well-being has improved. These practioniers are highly skilled also good listeners and empathic. I highly recommend the Source for treatment. read more

Source offers great and affordable supportive and healing services. I have been seeing the acupuncturist Nicolette for fertility and overall wellbeing. She has helped me immensely and I am happy to say I am 8 weeks pregnant! Thank you! read more

In a city rich with healers and practitioners, Simone and her team are truly the most genuinely care and compassion-filled that you will find. With wisdom that they're quick to share and experience that they stand strong in, I couldn't be more thankful that they've crossed my path, and I couldn't recommend them more for assistance in whatever may be causing you dis-ease, internally and out. They aren't just looking to stock up on clients or offer false "quick fixes". Their mission is to help everyone that comes through the door to understand both their blocks and their innate abilities to heal themselves. Their motto is "make health a habit", and I fully feel that each of them are holding space to help everyone around them be more equipped to do just that. read more

First timer and they explained everything and made me feel comfortable. It's a very easy process and I came out feeling great. They have a restroom you can use beforehand, and so far, everyone I've met has been wonderful. Once you've done your initial assessment, you can just sign in and go find a chair in the healing lounge. Overall, I highly recommend. read more

I had my first acupuncture experience with Simone and I have to rave about how great she made it. I was very anxious about trying acupuncture but Simone made me feel comfortable and safe. She is very present, patient, and attentive to the energy and emotions of her clients. Through the consultation before the acupuncture, it's clear how knowledgeable, educated, and experienced she is. She really takes the time to understand and evaluate clients' medical conditions and current wellbeing through a holistic lens before and after the initial acupuncture session. Her analysis and insight of my health issues was so helpful. She made sure to explain what is really happening in my body when these issues flare up. Since she looks at the overall health of her clients, she is able to address underlying causes for these conditions instead of just treating each surface level symptom individually (as I'm used to in my usual healthcare experiences). Her passion for what she does and her care for each individual she serves is very evident. Though I was only visiting San Diego, she encouraged me to find an acupuncturist in my city for follow up. She also told me she'd love to hear from me about how the herbal medicine worked for me and my progress. I can't express how genuine and present her energy is, even just from my one session with her. I will be continuing acupuncture and herbal medicine in Seattle after such a great first experience with Simone and I will definitely go back to her when I find myself in San Diego. read more

I am so grateful and lucky to have found Source Empowered Wellness! The practitioners here are overflowing with compassion and knowledge. An accident at the tide pools wrenched my lower back, the kind of pain where I couldn't walk, only crawl - for over a day. Steroids and muscle relaxants from a physician didn't touch the spasm. I went into SEW and Lynsi got me needled up and set up cups on my back. I immediately felt a little better, and she gave me great tips on biomechanics and explained treatments and the injury in a caring way. In subsequent days, the back pain was still pretty intense so I went back for more treatments. (Pro tip: Get the unlimited deal for new patients! It's such a relief to be able to go as needed without worrying about costs adding up. Especially if you have an acute situation - get the unlimited deal, and go as often as you can!) I saw Simone, and was surprised when she had me sit in a chair for treatment - like, how was that going to help my back? No doubt Simone has the credentials via education and experience to explain why she's so very good at what she does, but it also feels like she has an innate sense of what people need - physically but also emotionally. She set up needles along various spots on the front of my body, and I swear I could feel little whirlpools happening, moving around, and literally releasing... A bit of emotional release happened too (I cried, like, a lot, because sometimes pain is scary!) and she was very reassuring, offering some insights that I didn't know I needed to hear. Four days of treatment (from both Lynsi and Simone) after the initial spasm and it's settling down, and I am *sure* that would not be the case without the team at SEW. I wish I hadn't hurt my back in the first place, but I'm happy that it led me to a place with caring, affordable treatment. They are miracle workers. read more

I have been coming to SEW with my package I purchased. Every experience has been magnificent and all times coming with both acute abs chronic pain. Today I walked in with a really bad pull muscle in my glute. Nicole was AHMazing and was so caring. I love coming to his beautiful space with providers/acupuncturist that engage with me and take such great care of me. Definitely will continue to return again and again. Namaste read more

I saw an advertisement on Facebook for $49 deal. I filled out a form on Facebook to inquire about it. Shortly after someone called and it turns out it's just for the consult and then there's an additional fee for the treatment and I was told they can't be both done on the same day. They then told me they would need a credit card in advance to book my appointment, which I thought was very suspicious. After speaking with them further, I explained that I was ultimately interested in a cupping session which I was told I could do that separately without the consult. So they asked for a credit card to book the appointment again, strange and suspicious. I booked the appointment for the following day and arrived 15 minutes early to my appointment and it took somewhere between five and 10 minutes for somebody to come out and greet me and after a few more minutes they spoke to me and then asked if I had filled out the pre-registration form online and I said no. I went on to explain had they said to look for the form via email I would've filled it out in advance. At this time I'm just a few minutes away from my appointment start time. They then took a few minutes setting up the tablet that they had for me too fill out the forms. Now it is just a couple of minutes away from my appointment time, and they hand me this tablet which I didn't have my reading glasses, and I could barely read what it said it would've taken me forever to fill it out. I asked if it was going to cut into my appointment time and she said no and that they were training someone new so they will be sure to let them know to tell people in the future about the form arriving in an email previous to the appointment. My anxiety was so high by this point. And it's now past the time my appointment would be starting so I opted to not have my treatment. My recommendation to them was to make sure that their employees were thoroughly trained before putting them in charge of the solicitation calls. It is simple. Create a training, manual. I opted to cancel my appointment because I do not support poorly run businesses. read more

Source is a life changing place!! I've had the pleasure of working with Sharron for acupuncture and Nathan for body work. Sharron is knowledgeable and kind, and helped not only with specific pain management but also overall feeling good! Nathan is an angel, intuitive yet so stable. He created a safe space for healing and growth all at the same time. Eternally grateful for this lovely spot!! read more

I ventured in one day not really knowing what to expect but it's been nothing short of amazing. Simone is always someone I look forward to seeing as she provides nothing but exceptional healthcare through her services. She is empathetic, knowledgeable and extremely nurturing. As an athlete and teacher, I've had issues with everything from muscular tension and strains to anxiety related issues, tension headaches and of course common occurrences of cold symptoms. I can say that when I'm sick and she treats me, I feel better much quicker. I've been able to see more progress in the gym as well. Overall, great experience. :) read more

Jonathan is the best! I literally felt like I was dying with this chronic bronchitis. After about 15 minutes of treatment - mostly on my feet (who knew?) - I could actually breathe again - the pressure was significant reduced. Today was my second visit with a package I bought. I will be back regularly! Don't be afraid to try community-style acupuncture. It's amazing! read more
