Sarika Q. Connor, L.Ac, Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)® is a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist in the state of California, as well as a nationally board-certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. With over 12 years of clinical experience, Sarika has specialized training in orthopedics and chronic pain management, and has performed over 10,000 treatments. In addition to her extensive clinical background, Sarika has spent over 8 years in mindfulness training, focusing on somatic movement and yoga rehabilitation therapy, which allows her to take a holistic approach to healing that incorporates both the mind and body.

Sarika’s journey into acupuncture began after a life-changing experience. At age 19, she suffered severe injuries from a car accident, leaving her with chronic pain and the inability to use her left arm. It was Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that provided her with the greatest relief and hope. This transformative experience became the driving force behind her purpose: to bring the healing power of TCM to her community.

Sarika pursued and achieved her Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the prestigious Yo San University in Culver City, CA, where she focused on Orthopedics and Women’s Health. Coming from a family with a long history of TCM practitioners, Sarika is proud to be the 38th generation healer in her lineage. Through her practice, Soma Acupuncture & Wellness, she specializes in treating Chronic Conditions, including Neuropathy, as well as Sports Medicine and Women’s Health and Reproductive Medicine. Sarika is also currently enrolled in the Post-Graduate Sports Medicine Acupuncture (C.SMA) Certification Program and is a Doctoral Candidate at Yo San University’s DAOM Program.

Sarika’s blend of clinical expertise, holistic training, and a deep commitment to healing allows her to provide compassionate and effective care for a wide range of conditions, helping her patients restore balance and vitality in their lives.
