Acupuncture Sanctuary for Women

I am soooooo thankful that I found Dr. Aicha! I came to see her for a back issue I had since getting an epidural 2 years ago. Little did I know that I would be turning my entire health around.. and that of my whole family! I started to look at my body differently. She helped me do that. My outlook has taken a full spin for the better and that alone has helped me feel younger now than I did in my early 20's. If you want to take care of your health and look deep inside, she will guide you through it. I haven't met a doctor that is more caring, thoughtful, gracious, and intelligent than Dr. Aicha Sebaa. Many many thanks and love!

It took me a long time to write this review because I rarely ever write reviews to be honest (unless it's something negative that I think people should know about..) but I want to take a moment and really acknowledge Aicha for everything she has done for me. I have been seeing her for 3 years now and I really feel that I owe a lot of my health successes to her. I felt like sh*t when I first signed up to see her. I had all these horrible symptoms that my doctor didn't take seriously. One of the nurses at Sharp Hospital suggested that I try acupuncture or eastern medicine. It was my last hope really. I thought I would give it a shot for a month and if I didn't feel anything different, I would have to just deal with my issues and make them my new normal. Well, I didn't know what to expect but after meeting Aicha (in her beautiful treatment room), I knew there was something different. She took a full medical history and listened to everything. She even suggested that I run some labs with my doctor and we found out that I had 2 autoimmune conditions and all these other issues that he totally overlooked!! I wasn't crazy!! Of course, he won't admit it but at least he took me more seriously. Anyway, this allowed Aicha to look into my health even more and she explained to me how eastern and natural medicine works. I started to feel my role in my own health and made some big changes now that I look back on my health. She coached me on what I can do at home, she prescribed some herbs that helped a lot, and the acupuncture treatments were amazing. I always felt so much better after leaving her office and I felt empowered to keep taking charge of my health. My autoimmune conditions are now in remission, my labs look good and I feel amazing! I don't know what I would have done or been if it wasn't for Dr. Aicha so I wanted to write this to show my appreciation and let anyone else in my earlier shoes know that they should never stop looking for answers.

Aicha is awesome! Love her caring personality. By far the best acupuncture I've ever had.

"Aïcha is a walking encyclopedia for women's health. I trust her with my health completely. If you are looking to reach maximum health naturally, you must see her."

Rebekah B. - San Diego, CA

"I came to Aïcha for back pain and restless leg syndrome due to my scoliosis. She has a very warm and welcoming personality and really knows her stuff. I felt like she was really trying to understand the source of my issues rather than just rush to do a protocol on me like other acupuncturists. Her place is truly a sanctuary. The aesthetic makes you feel like you are somewhere in the clouds lol. From just a few touches, I almost immediately trusted her skill. Her fingers are like magic. She used combinations of techniques and things that I never experienced in other clinics. She has an incredible knowledge of skincare and fertility and after my first treatment I realized she has her own hand­made natural skincare line. Amazingly enough, my son (who has eczema) has adopted it as his favorite cream. My back pain has almost disappeared and I can sleep in any position. If you are fortunate enough to get a treatment from her, ASK her questions! She is an encyclopedia of medical knowledge, both eastern and western (surprisingly). She didn't knock hospital doctors like a lot of people I've gone to, but was very complimentary in her approach and confident. I've finally found the best spot in town for my needs, and she is a bargain for her treatment price."

Rachel S. - San Diego, CA

"I had back spasms twice and went to Aïcha for immediate relief. She worked her magic both times and I went from feeling paralyzed with pain to walking around just fine. She's amazing at what she does and I trust her hands. Whether it's a massage or acupuncture, you sense her level of skill immediately. She knows what she's doing and teaches while she treats. She is someone who continuously inspires trust both in her treatments and as a mentor and friend. If you're a woman in pain, she's the one to go to."

Mumina D. - Irvine, CA

"I was visiting the area and was in desperate need for an acupuncture treatment. I asked Aïcha if she had any openings before my departure two days later and she was extremely accommodating!! Aïcha went above and beyond by spending quality time with me reviewing my medical history and proceeding with an AMAZINGLY therapeutic prenatal acupuncture treatment for me. She even had a soothing essential oil in her vapor thingy and addressed all my concerns. I left the session feeling better than before I had entered...;) It was so great I actually wanted to extend my stay in San Diego just to get a few more treatments but I couldn't get my flight extended. I would recommend Aïcha as a acupuncturist for anyone seeking healing, relaxation and rejuvenation."

Momma B. - Clarksville, MD

"I started seeing Aïcha after a miscarriage. I was 35 and before that I didn't think I could have children. So the miscarriage was devastating and I was very depressed. I remember coming in talking her ear off and being so anxious. I would leave feeling at peace. I started out seeing her twice to 3 times a week. She gave me nutrition advice and supplements on top of the acupuncture. The room is very warm and inviting, she used a heater to warm my abdomen or my feet, she propped me when needed. Had relaxing music and essential oils to help me stay calm. By the time I left I would feel so wonderful. I saw her consistently for about two or three months before I got pregnant again. I continued to see her all through my pregnancy to keep me happy, calm and relaxed. I honestly can say I could not do it without her. As I ballooned out she helped me feel so comfortable, event on my super miserable days. She gave me great nutrition advice for my pregnancy. I cannot say thank you enough to her. I tell everyone she helped me get pregnant and stay pregnant. Now I have a beautiful baby girl that lights up my life. If you ever get a chance at least try her out once. You will not regret it!"

Michelle M. - La Mesa, CA

"I highly recommend Aïcha for all women's health related treatments and beyond! She treated me before, during and after my pregnancy helping optimize my fertility, ease the early pregnancy nausea, relieve a peculiar arm pain I had while pregnant, and best of all induce my labor leading to the smoothest delivery I could have ever asked for! I did not even have to push, my uterus contracted the baby out on its own!! I can 100% say I am a true believer in all her work and I only trust her for all natural medicine, nutritional advice, acupuncture treatments and much more! She has a beaming positive energy about her and is very easy to talk to. Again, highly, highly recommended practitioner - you will wish you started seeing her sooner!"

Meriam S. - Garden Grove, CA

I AM PREGNANT. After years of trying everything (and spending lots of $$$) with failed IUIs, IVF, multiple early miscarriages, etc, I am now 27 weeks pregnant! My husband and I couldn't be happier and we are incredibly grateful to Dr. Sebaa. I will admit that we were very hesitant at first because we are both in the medical field and didn't think much of natural medicine or acupuncture. Plus, I am not familiar with herbs other than teas that I like more for pleasure than actual medicine. Dr. Sebaa changed that completely! I am a firm believer that there are OTHER OPTIONS OUT THERE! After seeing her weekly for the first three months, I could tell that my health went to the next level! My periods were smoother and more regular and I just felt more fertile if that makes sense. Before that, I was feeling depressed after being given "the talk" by our reproductive endocrinologist about adoption services and my heart sank just thinking that I couldn't be a mom and that I waiting too long. I was stuck in guilt, anger, and pain. Dr. Sebaa helped me through that and she showed me how the body works from a completely different point of view! She gave me hope and even though I was skeptical and she tried to be realistic I took my health as my top priority and now we are experiencing our little bundle of joy with this healthy and natural pregnancy!!! I can go on and on but I just want to thank Dr. Sebaa for everything she has done for me, my family, and all that she does. I know that she helped a lot of people and I want to share my story in case there are other women out there who are on the same boat..especially with fertility issues. I will continue to see her throughout my pregnancy and beyond because I see her as a healthcare provider that I can trust. That to me is everything. Thank you!!!

Melanie G. - Solana Beach, CA

"I have tried acupuncture before but never connected with someone's energy like Miss Aïcha Sebaa. Her presence is so powerful, her energy and sweet voice made my experience a great one. I suffer from environmental allergies that result in difficult sinus congestion which Miss Aïcha treated me for. It helped me, it works for me and I'm looking forward to my next session! You won't find a sweeter soul than Miss Aïcha!"

Maja V. - San Diego, CA

"Aïcha is amazing! Her presence and personality alone can help you start to feel calmer and relaxed even before she starts your treatment. She's knowledgeable at what she does and can certainly put you at ease with whatever ails you. I came in to see her for some back pain I was having and she took care of it effectively! My back pain is gone and I got some much needed stress relief. Thank you Aïcha!"

Lesley C. - San Carlos, San Diego, CA

"I don't know where to start...You know how there are places that you don't want to review because they are soooo good you want to keep them secret? 🙂 That's how I feel about Aïcha! She is extremely knowledge and caring and honest and wonderful! She recognized my illness before 3 doctors did (Hashimoto’s). She is my medical coach and confidant. I've been going to acupuncturists for over 15 years and she is in a league of her own!"

K.N. - Brooklyn, New York

"Beyond being a very knowledgeable clinician, Aïcha is an amazing person as well! I consulted with Aïcha regarding my blood work and for nutritional advice. In the past, I've had some sub-optimal readings on my labs that I wanted to address through nutrition and lifestyle changes. Aïcha was able to not only help me get a current reading on my labs, but also helped with diet and lifestyle changes that I could do to improve my health. In addition, she works closely with western doctors and was able to give me a great referral to an appropriate specialist who could co-manage my case. Aïcha is very knowledgeable in both eastern and western medicine. Her passion towards helping and healing people is second to none. Thank you for all your help, Aïcha!"

CDR R. - San Diego, CA

"Aïcha has been the single most important factor in my recovery from colitis and sciatica. She has treated any and all maladies and concerns I have. Her attentiveness and genuine personality are nurturing as a patient, and her tenacity gives you ease that she understands and is capable of treating all problems. Her suggestions are always helpful and she is prompt to respond by email to any questions you may have."

Bianca J. - San Diego, CA

"I visited Aïcha's Acupuncture Sanctuary for Women for the first time today and was incredibly impressed. Sanctuary is an understatement for this beautifully welcoming spot. I discussed my concerns with Aïcha, the acupuncturist, and her thorough intake process and strong interest in understanding her patients is clear. I am looking forward to my first upcoming treatment! Worth the drive from OC just for this."

Ami Y. - Orange County, CA

"I only use this at night because I prefer to leave face oils for the evening. During the day, I'll dab a little on my highlight points (Pro-tip from Wayne Goss!). In just a few weeks my skin looks the healthiest it's ever been. I eat really healthy and work out regularly but I still deal with pigmentation issues, dryness, and just a sallow complexion. This stuff just wakes up my skin. I couldn't be happier with this product."

- Valeria P. - Solana Beach, CA

"It's been 8 weeks now and I can't believe my eyes. I don't wear any concealer anymore and I just love my skin as it is. My smile lines have smoothed out and the crepiness I used to see before is completely gone!! I used to dread my lengthy morning routine from skincare to makeup but now that my skin looks this good, I barely wear any makeup. If you caught me a few months ago, you would never dare to see me without my full coverage face. Now, my skin breathes."

- Sherlynn D. - Chula Vista, CA

"My skin CRAVES Dr. Sebaa's Elixir. I've never had this experience with any other product. I actually look forward to my skincare routine now because massaging all this in feels like the most decadent dessert for my skin. I hope she never stops making this because it's made such a difference on my skin. I use way less products now and have even better results. I can't wait to try everything else Dr. Sebaa makes!"

- Natasha L. - Long Beach, CA

"My facial oiliness issue actually got better and more balanced after using it regularly. I used to use all those oil-free products left me with acne WITH dry skin.. the worst!! But now, I'm acne-free besides the zit here and there and my scars are slowly fading. I wish I could give Sebaa a big hug right now because this is the only thing that's made this much of a difference on my skin. I recommend this to anyone with adult acne prone skin."

- Mylie F. - Del Mar, CA

"I just love ANYTHING and EVERYTHING Dr. Sebaa makes! She's been my acupuncturist and herbalist for years and I trust her to the end. I know that she thoroughly researches everything and treats everyone like they're family. When I first tried this, even though my expectations were pretty high, I was blown away! First of all, it smells AMAZING..secondly, it really is an anti-aging miracle. I'm in my mid forties and my skin has changed so much."

- Luciana C. - Linda Vista, CA

"Literally, 1-2 drops in my foundation and my skin radiate its own sun rays. It's that good. I wear way less makeup because this stuff makes my skin better than I ever thought it could look. I travel a lot and this is what I use before getting on the plane to protect my skin. This is hand down my favorite skincare product."

- Jessica M. - Banker's Hill, CA

"My skincare routine slimmed down so so much since using Dr. Sebaa's botanical facial oil. I don't even use all the creams and lotions and expensive serums I used to layer on before. A pump or two massaged in does the trick. My skin is way less sensitive than it used to be and I feel hydrated all day. This really should be called a Skin Treatment because that's exactly what it does. I'm excited that it'll finally be online so I don't have to keep bugging my friend who's her patient for more!!!"

- Asma A. - Encinitas, CA

"What I really like about this is that it's not just a bunch of oils slapped together that I could get from anywhere. I can really tell that a lot of thought went into making this. It has vitamin C, enzymes, and all this good stuff with the plant extracts. It's really an art that I feel I'm massaging into my skin. Since using this a few months ago, I've gotten so many compliments about my skin and I know exactly why that is ;)"

- Dr. Michelle R., Carlsbad, CA

"I'm one of the lucky ones who got to try this serum early on and I've been hooked since. It was my best kept secret and my skin soaks this stuff in like it's nobody's business. I've been through so many face oils and serums since they've been hot for a while but nothing compares to Dr. Sebaa's Elixir. It leaves a silky finish and my complexion glows the whole day. This is a must-have in my skincare routine. I'm so excited that she's bringing it online so I can share it with everyone who's asked me about my skin. The secret is out, ha!"
