"Shaul has a very calm presence and is very caring and kind, with a lovely sense of humour. I have been to him for a cough that had lingered for weeks and he cleared it up in one session. I have also taken my son to him for hay fever and it made a huge difference, we went from him waking up every night at 3 sneezing , to him sleeping soundly. I think that was two sessions. We take him from time to time when his hayfever starts to show again but it has never been that bad again. He has also helped nearly miraculously where my son had pulled a muscle so badly in his leg that there was a red mark showing all along the torn muscle and he had very important cricket trials coming up and after one session with Shaul he could run again and participate in the trials two days later and he made the team! It was a remarkable turn around. Personally l think l was surprised that l couldn’t feel a thing when needles were put in and l found it so relaxing. I hadn’t expected that. I always feel like l have been to a deep place of rest after a session with Shaul. I feel reconnected to myself and very grounded. I appreciate that Shaul never promises anything, he is humble about his work and just tries his best, and so often his work makes a big difference. I often recommend him to people and would do so to anyone without hesitation."
— Helen O'Hagan, Cape Town"I cannot recommend Shaul enough. I am so grateful to have found him because there are not many acupuncturists who are as knowledgeable, professional and calming as Shaul. Initially I consulted Shaul with regards to sleep issues that I had been having, and later I went back to him to help resolve ongoing headaches that had been causing me distress. My sleep has improved dramatically, and my headaches are not nearly as debilitating as what they once were. My first session with Shaul was over ten years ago and I still schedule appointments with him when I feel out of balance. After my sessions with Shaul I leave feeling lighter and more balanced. I really do recommend him as an acupuncturist, my life has improved so much due to his help and assistance."
— Kim, Southern Suburbs"After trying so many different treatments for my lower back and hip pain I decided to try acupuncture and cupping with Shaul and after the 1st 2 sessions I felt immediate relief. Shaul is very patient and listens to one's area of concern. I have recommended my dad and brother to Shaul as well because I believe he does an amazing job. I highly recommend his services, you won't regret it Thank you Shaul."

With over 25 years of practice, Shaul has been supporting people on their healing journeys since opening his clinic in Lansdowne in 2001. His approach is grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine — calm, attentive, and deeply rooted in genuine care for the person in front of him.
Shaul trained in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and deepened his studies with time spent in China. He also lectured in acupuncture at the School of Natural Medicine at the University of the Western Cape.
He is not a clinic in the clinical sense. The space is warm and unhurried. Shaul is the kind of practitioner who listens properly, who can hold space for pain — physical and emotional — and who brings quiet wisdom to his work.
Alongside his private practice, Shaul is deeply committed to accessible community care. For more than 13 years, he has been an integral part of the Flying Needle Project — a community-based initiative providing free acupuncture treatment to people who might not otherwise have access to this form of care.

— Zaki Parker, Cape Town"I have attended acupuncture sessions over the past thirteen years and have always found Shaul to have a very friendly disposition, which made the experience very pleasant and had a meaningful impact on my overall well-being. Throughout this time, I consistently received professional, caring, and attentive treatment in a calm and welcoming environment. The sessions addressed pain, asthma-related issues, heart-related concerns, and cancer-related support. Although I did not undergo acupuncture to find a specific cure, it definitely helped me greatly with relaxation, stress management, and maintaining a better balance in my overall health. I truly appreciate the dedication, knowledge, and compassionate approach shown by Shaul, during every visit. I would highly recommend Shaul to anyone seeking holistic and supportive care."
