Personal Note from Me
I have devoted my life to guiding individuals of all ages—women and men alike—on their journey towards cultivating self-trust, confidence, and holistic well-being. Through the practice of holistic medicine and spiritual work, I focus on helping individuals heal body, mind, and spirit by addressing the root cause of disease and mentally releasing unhealthy patterns. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing occurs when we align these aspects of ourselves.
Working with each person is an honor, and I tailor specific, holistic plans that address their unique needs for lasting transformation. I am deeply committed to the principle that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself, and through holistic medicine, we can tap into that power to restore balance and well-being.
While I am open about my past, I am not defined by it. My purpose is to inspire others to release their own past, envision a new and empowered self, and focus on creating a future filled with joy, mindfulness, and holistic health. Like many of you, I have faced and overcome significant challenges, navigating through emotional exhaustion, anxiety, stress, and overwhelming burdens. These experiences led me to introspect, take responsibility, and ultimately redefine my personal narrative.
It was through this personal journey that I discovered my calling to help others transform their lives. In helping others, I found my greatest joy and passion. Remember, you are the storyteller of your own narrative, and through the practice of holistic medicine, you can shape the pivotal moments and chart your path toward a fulfilling and harmonious life. Together, we can work to ensure that your story is one of health, happiness, and spiritual fulfillment.

Founder of Blue Root | Visionary Healer | Breathwork & Energy Guide
Angela Soto, O.MD, L.Ac, has devoted her life to helping people heal at the deepest levels—mind, body, and spirit.

-
Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine – rooted in thousands of years of wisdom and adapted to modern needs.

Chinese Herbal Medicine & Nutrition – supporting the body’s ability to heal from within.

She is a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine and is nationally board certified by the NCCAOM.
Blue Root’s excellence has been recognized year after year, with awards including Best Practice, Best Doctor, and Best Acupuncturist 2025.
Beyond Medicine – The Soul Voyage
Angela’s vision extends beyond clinical care into the realm of soul healing. Certified as both a Breathwork Coach and Energy Healer, she co-founded The Soul Voyage, a LOVE project that hosts bi-weekly immersive healing events. These gatherings merge sacred geometry, guided breathwork, sound healing, music, and intuitive coaching into transformative experiences for the mind, body, and spirit.
This creative approach draws from Angela’s background in the arts. Before medicine, she earned a Fine Arts degree and worked for over a decade in the film industry. Today, she weaves that storytelling, creativity, and artistry into her healing sessions—creating journeys that are not only clinically grounded but also emotionally moving and spiritually expansive.
A Philosophy of Wholeness
Angela believes that true healing happens when science, spirit, and personal story come into alignment. Her mission is not simply to treat illness, but to empower each person to reconnect with their body’s innate wisdom, release what no longer serves them, and create a life of vitality, clarity, and joy.
Whether through the award-winning treatments at Blue Root or the transformational journeys of The Soul Voyage, Angela continues to forge new pathways in holistic healing—bringing innovation, compassion, and deep authenticity to every person she serves.
