I want to thank my patients for writing their heartfelt testimonials!
Dr. Elena Shateni
- Dr. Elena Shateni is a master of holistic healing. When I first began seeing her, I was suffering from fibroids. I ended up in the emergency room twice because of excessive bleeding; my gynecologist suggested a hysterectomy as the next option. In desperation, I sought Elena's advice. After careful analysis of my case, she began energy treatments. I have never had problems with fibroids or bleeding since. That was over five years ago!My next medical hurdle came with the beginning of menopause. I began to have aches, pains and various other symptoms that caused discomfort. With the help of Elena's energy healing, herbs, and acupuncture, I am doing very well, and feeling fine without artificial hormones. Elena's counsel of gearing me towards helpful supplements has been invaluable. She listens to my issues, and makes me feel more in control. Elena is a wonderful blend of Eastern and Western traditions, plus a little extra gift--Something she was born with. I trust her with my health, and respect her as a doctor.

- I consider Dr. Elena Shateni a powerful healer. Several years ago, she successfully helped me through a stubborn, acute illness using energy medicine modality. Currently, I see her to regulate a chronic condition in lieu of pharmacologic medication. Dr. Shateni creates a sacred healing space for treatment, and has masterfully employed different modalities to achieve beneficial results for me. It's a pleasure to work with her.

- Dr. Elena is simply one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She's "got it all" and then some. Her background is firmly rooted in the more accepted modality of typical Western medicine, yet her passion lies with the Eastern philosophies and a holistic approach to healing. This combination gives her a unique way of "seeing" any health issue. And, see she does. I came to Dr. Elena with atrial fibrillation and chronic edema. All my cardiologist would do is prescribe more and more drugs. Dr. Elena actually talked to me and discussed physiology, nutrition, emotions, beliefs, and ME. She saw me as a whole organism...not just a disease. Within 4 months, my heart got back into rhythm and my legs are almost back to normal size. I feel much better, I look a lot better, and I've learned so much and felt so cared for by her that I cannot sing her praises enough. She is an angel on earth with the most incredible healing hands and loving heart.

- Elena literally cured a polyp on my vocal chord in three sessions. I had had laryngitis for two months and had recently seen an ENT who told me I needed surgery. After one session with Elena I got my voice back. A week and a half later (and two more sessions with Elena) my surgery was cancelled when my ENT discovered that my polyp was 97% gone. This seasoned ENT said she had never seen anything remotely like it. I can't say enough good things about Elena Shateni. Even before I discovered that she had cured me and helped me to avoid having surgery and going under anesthetic, I felt there was something very special about her and her work. It sounds silly but the word Shaman comes to mind when I describe her to people. I recommend her to anyone experiencing problems and would just urge people to realize that the best balance for your body and health in a mixture of Eastern and Western Medicine, two things Elena is well practiced at.

Update two months later:
I'm happy to say that I saw my ENT who put the camera back down my throat and the 3% of Polyp that was left two months ago has completely disappeared. I am even better now than I was then. I'm still seeing Elena regularly as she is balancing many other aspects of my heath and the results in all areas are not only obvious, but great! Thank heaven for Elena!
- It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I write this testimonial to Dr. Elena Shateni!
I’ve been a patient for the last 3-½ years, I see her EVERY Sunday morning, religiously! I’ll give you a brief history of my experience. When I first started seeing Dr. Elena I was struggling with a few different illness and a pretty depleted immune system. I felt like my body was only operating on a 60-70 percent energy level. I had been to several different doctors/specialists to find out what exactly was going on but no one seen to have the right solution. On the very first visit with Dr. Elena, She listened carefully - then professionally explained how she would like to proceed. Not only to work on the health issues at hand, but how the benefits of acupuncture and energy therapy would benefit my overall health for the long-term. While working with Dr. Elena and these therapies I have seen such very positive results in my health and mind set. She has also played a huge role in helping me move beyond limiting beliefs and patterns to move forward in my life as a whole. Her services offer a focus on healing, self-improvement, encouragement and a place to recharge. I am a working testimonial to her expertise and professionalism. She’s the REAL DEAL!
Bo M., Producer, Los Angeles - Dear Elena,
You are my Prozac! Thank you for your magnificent healing.

Dr. Shateni is a gift to all who meet her. I have suffered from headaches and migraine since I was a child and Dr. Shateni has provided me with the most consistent relief and successful treatment of any other practitioner I have experienced. Dr. Shateni's extensive examination and treatment evaluation assure me that she is taking the most comprehensive measures toward improving my health and well being on a holistic level. Her expansive knowledge and practice in eastern and western medicine allow her to treat patients in mind, body and spirit. I am confident in the fact that I am "restored" to my best possible self after a session with this talented doctor. Although I have been so grateful for my successful headache treatment, I trust Dr. Shateni with ailments that range from the common cold and flu to everyday stress. The best part about having Dr. Shateni in my life is that I have the pleasure of sharing her with others! I trust her implicitly to improve the lives of the most important people in my life, my family and friends.

- For years I have suffered from TMJ pain which affected my jaw, neck and shoulder. Dr. Elena used energy, acupuncture and Gua-Sha to give me great relief. I am sleeping much better and no longer wake up with jaw pain and headaches. Besides addressing the pain, I have become more able to let go of the sources of tension and anxiety, thanks to Elena's treatments and insight. I am so grateful for her expertise and support!

- About my experience with Doctor Elena
I met Elena about 3 years ago and I don't think I went a week without her treatments...I was amazed with her knowledge and talent from the begining and impressed with how soon my arthritis in the knee came under control with her therapy .The knee almost never bothers me by now and the pain sure was intense before. Thank you Elena!!! And trust me, if you feel out of balance emotionally and stress have caught up with you, she is your Healer!..Just a phone call away there is a calm peaceful escape. Elena has that soft angelic voice and hands that sweep it all away with those smooth motions she makes above me while I am lying down..She provides me with supplements as well (Chinese herbs that is). At the end of treatment I like to share with her. Her personal advice is invaluable. Her aura is that of wise angel.

- I want to thank you for spending the extra time with me today as I really heard you and am going to make a real effort to listen to my body and pay attention to the food- health situation. Your wisdom, knowledge and healing talent is rare but what makes our visits even more special is we are kindred spirits who find beauty in so many of the same things and we can always share the joy of laughter. I feel truly blessed to be in your care and I know health and vitality await me.

I live in NYC and I come all the way to LA to see Dr. Shateni, and to experience the healing powers of her skills. I don't know if it's the combination of the healing techniques she is using or simply her potent personal energy, but I always walk out renewed, revived and restored to life. Dr. Shateni's work is absolutely amazing. For me these are unique, vibrantly cleansing and refreshing experiences. I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Elena!

- Last year, my son fell seriously ill. Due to exceptionally stressful work, he became so depleted and depressed that he required hospitalization. After a month of treatment he was discharged, but still was unable to talk, and avoided contact with people. A family friend recommended that we consult with holistic practitioner Dr. Elena Shateni. Dr. Shateni's examination confirmed the severity of our son's condition, but her confidence that he could benefit from holistic medicine encouraged us. Within just a few treatments, our son began to respond. He began to talk, and eventually to smile again. After the complete course of treatments, he was active again and was even able to return to his demanding work in a more balanced way. Dr. Shateni's work with him has been a tremendous success, and he greatly values periodic maintenance sessions with her to support his continuing optimal health. As for me, struggling with my son's crisis caused me to have insomnia, which had an aggravating effect on my own health. Inspired by Dr. Shateni's results, I, too, began a course of treatments which was quickly effective in curing my insomnia and restoring my energy. We are very grateful to have encountered this doctor, seemingly heaven-sent at a time of great need. Not only as an exceptional professional but also as a kind and encouraging spirit, Dr. Shateni has had a tremendously positive outcome for our family.

- Dr. Shateni is an exceptionally gifted natural healer. I have been in the alternative healing arts and sciences for over 25 years, and know her to be a highly skilled, heart-centered practitioner. I have personally benefited from her treatment and recommend her highly and without reservation.

- I’ve been a patient of Dr. Elena’s for almost 2 years now. I see her every week. My personal results have been more than successful! From the very first day that I stepped into her office, she has been always told me what to expect, and how the treatment works. She is extremely humble, industrious in finding the right treatment for me, and very sympathetic to whatever the situation may be. Dr. Elena is always patient and alive during the consultation. She is never preoccupied with things that don’t pertain to my situation and takes the time to explain her thinking. Her follow up is always on point to ensure that my progress is always moving forward. I’m beyond impressed with her knowledge and how she treats the WHOLE person. Dr. Elena is one of a kind. I can’t express how grateful I am to have a doctor who actually cares 100% about my total well-being. Her work has helped me with many obstacles, to the point of other people noticing. In my opinion that’s when you know you are in AMAZING hands. The good doctor has my total loyalty as a patient, I count myself truly lucky to have found her.

- Dear Dr. Elena, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my mom. She's been in severe pain as long as I can remember. She had two surgeries on her knees. The only option she was given was to undergo another surgery, which at 76 would have been a high risk with her heart and other health problems. After only 6 sessions with you she is now free from pain. I’m so happy she was able to avoid another surgery. You really work miracles. Thank you.

- From the moment I step into her office, I felt welcomed by her smile--There was an absolute great feeling in that office from the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out. Dr. Shateni's treatment is unique yet powerful, and effective in locating and fixing the problem, and increasing my energy. I wish I could get her treatment here in Japan.
T.M., Tokyo, Japan
- Dr. Shateni (Elena) has a natural gift for healing.
Joan G.
- I knew the first time that Elena did energy work on me that I was in the hands of a true healer. I feel so grateful for all of the wonderful treatments I have received from her. She got rid of my lower back pain that I'd had on and off forever, and was able to diagnose my thyroid condition the first time she worked on me. I had been experiencing symptoms for years, and she determined in a matter of minutes what the problem was through her hands. The profound healing and energizing that occurs in each session with Elena always leaves me feeling deeply restored.
Kim Lindsey, Los Angeles
- As an engineer and biochemistry major, I do not pretend to understand the mechanism which "energy work" employs, but I do know that I came to Dr. Elena Shateni in a panic after a negative diagnosis, and being told I would need to be on some rather scary drugs for the rest of my life. Since I began treatment with Elena some six years ago, I have taken no drugs, and had no further symptoms; Each treatment I leave her office feeling relaxed, yet energized, and with a heightened sense of awareness of the things around me.
Deborah F., Woodland Hills, CA
- Over the past two years, I have seen Dr. Elena for conditions associated with high levels of stress, ringing in the ears, weight gain, and extreme lower back pain. Each and every time, Dr Elena's treatments have been effective in either reversing the condition or assisting with its management. Her unique combined approach of herbal prescriptions, acupuncture, and energy channeling is extremely effective. Dr Elena has a unique consultative approach that really demonstrates she cares. She listens with absolute attention, and clarifies clearly to ensure that she really understands her patients' conditions and concerns. I highly recommend Dr Shateni's treatments. In my over 45 years of experience in both Western as well as Eastern approaches to treatments, Dr Shateni is one of those rare healers that is very hard to find.
C. C., Los Angeles
- Elena's fine education, and her background in alternative healing combine to work a special kind of magic that comes with warmth, dedication and precision-- It's one impressive package! Her energy healing is powerful, and must be experienced, and her needling is above-par (and I've been needled by many, including master teacher Dan Bensky!). Most importantly, Elena's concern for her patients is what drives her--She cares more than any other doctor I've ever met. Thank you, Dr. Elena, for your deep compassion and your healing words of wisdom.
L. S., Santa Monica
- We feel fortunate having Elena as our health care provider because she has a rare gift of having been a medical doctor and an alternative medicine professional. Besides being very knowledgeable, Elena is a very caring, warm and understanding person. We would gladly recommend her to any other patient.
S.K and O. N., Los Angeles
- In 2006, I started to have serious anxiety problems, including panic attacks. At first, I started a cure with pharmacy medicines but after a month, they started to have the opposite effect. My doctor prescribed heavier medication for me, but when I studied the side effects and found out that the prescribed pills where illegal in Europe, I decided it was time to find another solution. A friend recommended Elena K. Shateni. With Elena's genuine personal attention and profound knowledge of acupuncture, Chinese medication and traditional healing, I not only overcame my dependence on the pharmacy medicines, but was also cured, very gradually, of my anxiety and panic attacks.
