AQU Wellness - Pacific Palisades, California

I've been seeing Samantha for about 4 years now, and I'm so thankful for her. She's helped me through some intense lower back pain and bad spells of anxiety/stress. Her space is so calming and as soon as you walk in the door you're greeted by her lovely presence and a cup of tea or water. If you're thinking of trying acupuncture - she's by far the best on the West side!

AQU Wellness is an amazing physical, mental, and emotional escape right here in Los Angeles. I have know and been going to Samantha on and off for about 4-5 years now for acupuncture and cupping therapy. Every appointment, as soon as I step into her office, I feel a sense of relaxation and relief. Everything from the aesthetic of her treatment rooms, to the soft music she plays, to the scent of essential oils, to her calming voice and of course therapy techniques are first-class and rejuvenating. Samantha treats every client as an individual, curating the specific service and therapy for each client by understanding their own personal aches, pains, goals, and mindset. I can't wait for my next appointment!

Loved everything about Samantha and AQU Wellness! I started seeing Samantha to regulate stress and prep my body for pregnancy. A year later, I now have a healthy little girl, and Samantha’s acupuncture has helped me through all my pregnancy and postpartum symptoms. Highly recommend AQU for all acupuncture and cupping needs. Samantha is the best!

I went to Samantha when I was experiencing some hormonal issues as well as anxiety symptoms. Immediately upon entering her office, I felt a sense of peace. Samantha really takes the time to go through and ask you what’s going on with your body and what you’re looking to get out of acupuncture treatment. I love that when I lay on the table it’s heated and there is calming music, making the experience very tranquil and relaxing. We did a series of needles as well as cupping and I left feeling a world of difference from the time I came in. She also recommended some great herbs and supplements for hormonal balance. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. It’s very clear that Samantha has years of experience in her field as well as with people. I highly recommend seeing her!

Samantha is an incredibly gifted healer. I came to her in the midst of horrible battle with gut issues, stress and fatigue, truly not knowing what to do next. And here I am to say that her acupuncture works MAGIC. Even after the first session, I saw a huge improvement in my symptoms. I felt like I was healing on a physical and spiritual level during every session, like every circuit in my body was finally turning on and clicking together! I knew how sacred acupuncture was, but I couldn’t fathom how much it would change my life — and I have Samantha to thank for that.

Samantha is incredibly intuitive and attentive with an eye for detail in her intakes and while working on you. You can’t help but settle into peace in her office — she is the epitome of calm, kind, and caring. I cannot recommend her enough — whether it’s to the wellness junkie looking for a new experience, the first timer who’s nervous about whether the needles are gonna hurt (spoiler alert: they’re not!), or the person battling any pain or illness looking for a natural healing modality.

Bonus tip: absolutely try cupping and ear seeding too, they will change your life!!

I had never gotten acupuncture until I came here to treat some chronic pain and nerve issues I’ve been struggling with. Samantha has been so kind and helpful in addressing my issues and always makes every session worthwhile. In addition to acupuncture she also offers many other progressive treatments such as cupping and scraping. This is a great place to go to - I’d highly recommend to those looking to enhance their pain management.

Samantha is an absolute gem. I've seen a handful of great acupuncturists, but she is by far the best, and I'm so grateful to have found her! She's super knowledgeable, friendly, and calming. Her space is peaceful and grounding as well. She's been able to help me work through some long-standing issues I've had and I can't recommend her more!

Seeing Samantha is hands down my favorite form of self care. I was unsure of what acupuncture could really do for me and how much of a difference it would make, but now I am beyond addicted to my treatments! I have horrible PMS, and I am blown away by how well my symptoms have cleared and how much more relaxed and less irritated I am. We occasionally do cupping, and she recommended doing ear seeds which I love that help with every day stress and anxiety. Every time I leave her office I feel like a new person and always look forward to my next appointment!
