Vishāl Wellness

Vishāl is an excellent Acupuncturist and massage therapist. I saw him recently for a surfing accident on my shoulder, as well as being sick. He did some soft tissue muscle manipulation on my shoulder as well as acupuncture, that both reduced my pain and increased my range of motion in my shoulder. He also addressed a chronic digestive issue of mine, that I felt instant relief from. His knowledge of the body, lifestyle counseling, and energy is astounding. The level of different healing modalities he utilizes in his practice are amazing, as well as the quality of his work. I'm very grateful for his work and the joy he exudes while he helps. Vishāl is a delight to get therapy from, helping with everything from lifestyle and mental problems, to physical issues using herbs and massage, all the way to deeper energetic issues. I highly recommend him.

Vishāl is really great at what he does. He has many talents and they all show in his work. He has the ability to really listen and be present. In that, he gets to the bottom of what is out of balance in my body and uses many different methods/modalities to bring that balance back. He always seems to know what is going to help most that day and after the session is over, I feel better freedom, vitality, and strength from within. Besides his bodywork and knowledge of herbal medicine, he is a wonderful yoga and meditation teacher. He sometimes uses asana as part of his sessions. Being in a restorative or yin yoga position while receiving treatment is so wonderful. Some of the pranayama techniques he has taught me I have continued to practice on a daily basis and they have changed my life. What a wise healer and wonderful person to be around!

Vishāl is an exceptional and knowledgeable healer; his energy is calm, positive and extremely healing. Vishāl works in a way like no other acupuncturist I have ever been to. He not only uses needles, but incorporates reiki, cranial sacral and yoga movements to one’s session, making it an exceptional healing session. Thank you Vishāl for being part of our wellness community… - Sandra Sphar, Owner at Mariposa Health

I have been receiving acupuncture from Vishāl to treat acute and chronic pain. I am a competitive tennis player/cyclist and Rolfer Structural Integrator. I cannot work nor compete at my best when I am in constant pain. Vishāl has given me total relief from numerous joint pains in my knees, shoulders, wrists and elbows. I appreciate that Vishāl incorporates yoga and massage therapy in his acupuncture practice. Vishāl is kind, empathetic, positive, compassionate and knowledgeable. - Arthur Gillespie LMT, Certified Rolfer

I have been seeing Vishal for shoulder pain and back tension. He's excellent at identifying pain spots in the body that are not within my immediate awareness. And while he does address symptoms, he's ensures that he treats all of you: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Ultimately, I feel loads better!

Paul is uniquely qualified in his profession. He is both an acupuncturist and a massage therapist. In addition he graduated with honors from UCSB.He listens and asks questions to understand the medical issues. He establishes relationships with patients. He tries to identify the problem and not just treat the symptom. He supports both Western and Eastern medicine and will offer advice about what he feels is best for a patient. Paul is especially talented at treating pain. I would highly recommend Paul.

Vishāl exemplifies the active life that we also enjoy. He has an astonishing balance of superb physical fitness, centeredness, equanimity, composure, and also a great sense of humor, which we truly appreciate. His presence alone has allowed us to attune to a new, heightened sense of wellness and a zest for living.

He has the best big picture treatment. He also is very accurate, intuitive and grounded in his practices from yoga, body work and acupuncture.
