I’ve been seeing Dr. Dao for a year and a half now, and I can’t say enough good things about him. Not only have I experienced incredible results, but I truly look forward to every session. Dr. Dao is deeply knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. He always takes the time to listen and create a treatment plan that feels personalized and supportive.
Each visit feels like a much-needed reset—I get to disconnect from the outside world and drop into a deep state of relaxation and meditation during the session. It’s become an essential part of my wellness routine.
I’m so grateful to have found Tao of Wellness and Dr. Dao. Highly recommend to anyone looking to heal, restore, and feel more balanced.

Dr. Shannon Lawrence was extremely helpful in getting my body ready to run a marathon. I was dealing with a number of injuries and her treatments made huge improvements to my pain. The office and staff are wonderful and I highly recommend Tao of Wellness!

Tao of Wellness is a ten star clinic! Amazing practitioners, top notch care, beautiful clinic environment, good energy and people, super intelligent and wise practitioners...this is one of the best holistic health and wellness places in LA to get healthy, and to experience healing acupuncture treatments and excellent TCM care. On a scale from one to ten, this place is an eleven.

The Tao of Wellness is one of the best acupuncture center. From my own experience for over 35 years; Dr. Daoshing and Dr. Maoshing Ni are amazing healers. I would never have gotten thru chemotherapy so easily if it was not for Dr. Maoshing Ni's energy transferred thru the thin, painless acupuncture needles giving me the physical strength to get thru each chemo sessions as well as helping me stay positive and grateful. The Tao of Wellness practitioners are outstanding healers with knowledge and compassion.

Dr. Mao is world class . I’ve been seeing him on a pretty regular basis for over 15 years . His calm demeanor and acupuncture skills are bar none. I always feel so much better after a visit at Tao of Wellness. Highly recommend!

I have been a patient at The Tao of Wellness for about a year now and even though work has been slim I am still able to continue, because of the tiered rates. The office is bright, clean and has a relaxing vibe. The front desk staff are quite pleasant, helpful, calm and somehow handle themselves in a pleasant manner even when things do get busy and other patients are demanding. I am a patient of Dr. Shannon and am always impressed by her professional demeanor, efficiency and her very strong knowledge of herbs. Mind blowing!! Not only that but she's easy to talk to and up to date with current medical information and issues. She's thorough and able to needle swiftly, with precision and can also use alternate points if some hurt too much. My thumb and wrist joints have started to ache regularly (joys of aging) and the relief I get after acupuncture is incredible and long lasting. The overall feel is of a smooth running, professional and caring atmosphere with people who know how to do their jobs well! If there are any kinks, it never shows to the patient. I constantly advocate for acupuncture to friends and family, specifically to Dr. Shannon at the Tao of Wellness.

There are no words to describe my gratitude to the Tao of wellness and to Dr Mao. I would not be here if it was not for him.

I was recommend to Dr Shannon by a friend when I became extremely ill. When I first began treatment with her I was underweight and unable to gain any weight. I was also struggling with Menopause and thyroid issues. I was pressured into getting HRT pellets every 4 months and taking prescription drugs by western Doctors. None of these worked. After receiving treatments for 8 months from Dr Shannon I no longer take synthetic prescription drugs for menopause, or my thyroid. I have gained weight and muscle mass. Dr Shannon prescribes Chinese herbs specifically for my body's needs that are constantly changing. I highly recommend Dr Shannon.
