Ramona Whan is my my main source for pain management and stress reduction. She spends time listening to your needs before she provides you with relief. Her acupuncture is very gentle and I leave feeling satisfied.

Best professional I’ve EVER seen. Let’s start there. For years I had been dealing with debilitating back pain and was quite overweight. As someone in their early 20’s I couldn’t let this continue. After researching acupuncture to the best of my abilities, I booked an appointment with Ramona Whan, MSTOM, L.Ac, who was recommended to me by Heather at the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce. I never imagined how important this would be for me. Growing up with several health issues I’ve seen a plethora of medical professionals and I’ve never felt so seen and heard as I did with Ramona. Together we figured out what the best treatment for my pain was. She is so caring, considerate, friendly, and knowledgeable and knows how to relay the information to someone who is new to acupuncture. Over the course of almost 2 years I saw Ramona and it has changed my life. I went for back pain but after several treatments she helped me with pain, stress, healthy eating, healthy living, AND controlling my asthma. I felt like I trapped in a figurative turtle shell and Ramona “freed” me. After seeing Ramona I no longer had the back pain(or any pain), no longer feared medical professionals, haven’t had asthma issues since, and lost over 150 lbs!!! Ramona set me on track to getting my life and health to where I only dreamed it could be and I’m forever grateful for everything she has done. She is one of the most important people(and now friend) to my journey thus far and I immediately recommend her to anyone I feel could benefit from her amazing work. I hope to see her again soon to feel refreshed and revitalized! Thank you Ramona Whan, MSTOM, L.Ac !!!
