Jacqui James

MSTOM, L.Ac

Jacqui chose to become an acupuncturist after having a transformative experience with acupuncture herself. After years of suffering with chronic migraines, seeing multiple specialists, and taking lots of medications with very scary side effects, Jacqui stumbled upon acupuncture. After a few months of treatment, her migraines reduced drastically, and she was fascinated. A few years later, she decided to dedicate her life to helping others be free of pain so they could live life fully.

Some Highlights of Jacqui’s career include-

  • Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Pacific College of Health & Science 2017
  • Internship at Rady’s Children’s Hospital 2017
  • Owned and operated a successful clinic in Montana, 2018-2019
  • California Licensed Acupuncturist 2024

Some of Jacqui’s specialties include-

  • Women’s Health, Prenatal and Postnatal Care
  • Pediatrics
  • Migraine Treatment
  • Pain patterns of the shoulder, neck, and back

Jacqui loves working in a clinic with other caring and passionate providers. As someone who has experienced years of chronic pain, she knows how much it can impact daily life. To be able to help others get out of pain and back to doing what they love is such an incredible gift and Jacqui finds it very fulfilling.

Jacqui is a very proud Mama to a toddler who keeps her on her feet. She loves exploring the redwoods with him and teaching him how to cook healthy food. In her spare time, she is an avid knitter. Jacqui has been getting back into yoga recently and loving it. She has a history in performing acrobatics, and The Great British Baking Show is currently her guilty pleasure.

What People Are Saying About Us

Danielle Uzes helped me with my pre-patellar bursitis. The orthopedic said it would take 4 to 6 months for the swelling to go down. After only 2 weeks, twice a week, and some very powerful herbs, that Danielle prescribed for me, my swelling went down, at least 90%!!! And not only that, Danielle discovered ankle issues as well! ( which made sense!) Very professional and caring and I always feel comfortable! Plus, they accept my insurance and make it very easy! Office staff is very friendly- overall, very good experience!

I have been in chronic pain for years, 4 Back surgeries, 2 knee replacement, Rheumatoid Arthritis, nerve pain the list goes on. So many times friends have suggested Acupuncture as a therapy for my pain. I'm finally glad I listened to them and that I found Jessica at Solis. Jessica is very knowledgeable, she explains everything she is doing and she puts me at ease during my treatments. I'm a huge fan of cupping, it has made a big difference in my back spasms. If your looking for a noninvasive way to deal with pain, check out Solis....you will not regret it!

Lishanna has really supported my healing process. Just a few months ago I could hardly stand or walk I was in so much pain. Working with Lishanna has helped me get out of pain and for Thanksgiving this year I decided to try and walk from the beach, down to the water and dip my feet in the ocean again. It had been over 3 years and really a decade since I was able to walk freely on the beach or support myself walking in the waves unaided.
It felt like a miracle. I walked down to the water, walked in the water and was able to walk the beach for 20 minutes and walk back over the sand to my car without any pain. Nor was I in any pain the next day. No swelling, just feet and ankles that worked painlessly. I feel renewed. I will be forever grateful to Lishanna for her confidence in my ability to heal my feet and ankles. I now have the confidence that comes with standing on my own 2 feet, moving forward in life more embodied and painfree.

I recommend her and the folks at her office whole heartedly.
