If you told me when I was young that I would be an acupuncturist with a clinic of my own in America, that would have been ludicrous.
I am a California board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist. I hold both M.S and Doctoral degrees in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
As a young girl, I was greatly influenced by my aunt who taught me the principles of Chinese herbal medicine. That early interest and training continued into my formal education.
After moving to the US, I extensively studied how to best combine noninvasive medical treatments from the east and the west. I sought formal training in California and graduated from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine.
In 2014, I established my practice in Beverly Hills. Due to restrictions related to the pandemic, I decided to relocate and recently opened a Costa Mesa office in the heart of coastal Orange County.
I am very passionate about ways to treat people without resorting to surgery or drug therapies. This passion is personal because I am a patient myself. I suffered from pain for many years. First as a result of an auto accident, and then later as a cancer patient. I know firsthand the devastating impact pain has on a person‘s life.
My pain was not relieved by western approaches. This drove me to research for the integration of noninvasive and holistic methods from the east. I tried my novel, integrated treatment, and I am extremely happy to say that I am now pain-free. I truly appreciate being alive each and every day. As a result of my positive experience, I now wish to share my integrated approach with my patients to alleviate their pain.
I am dedicated to providing non-invasive, effective treatments to help people heal from illnesses, manage chronic conditions, and slow degeneration caused by unhealthy lifestyles.
My treatments include musculoskeletal and nerve disorders often manifested as pain from injuries to the neck, back, shoulder, knee, and other joints. I also use my knowledge and techniques to treat symptoms that are rooted in stress, anxiety, and emotional trauma. For example, herbal medicines and nutrition help my patients return to leading vigorous healthy lives. I have applied my treatment methods to cancer patients, helping them undergo the rigors of chemotherapy.
My goal is to integrate eastern and western medicine to help people get well, in an effective noninvasive way, creating a tailored and balanced approach to each patient’s treatment plan.
