Naturopathic Doctor & Acupuncturist based in Los Angeles, CA
Who I am
Coming from a 4 generation lineage of Chinese Medicine practitioners, I have seen the profound effectiveness of this ancient healing in nurturing the mind, body, and spirit.
As a Naturopathic Doctor and Chinese Medicine Practitioner, I specialize in providing comprehensive care for pain relief, stress management, fertility support, and weight management. My dedication to patient well-being is grounded in a solid foundation of medical training, which includes completion of my studies at Bastyr University in Seattle, followed by advanced postgraduate training in esteemed institutions in Shanghai and Taiwan.
Throughout my educational journey, I had the privilege of immersing myself in diverse cultures and medical traditions. During both my undergraduate and graduate studies, I had the extensive opportunity to study in Japan, Nepal, and Tibet, enriching my understanding of holistic healthcare practices.
My involvement with the research group at University of Washington (UW) Harborview Medical Center in Seattle provided invaluable insights into end-of-life research, particularly focusing on the delicate balance between hope and information. It was during this time that I developed a deep fascination with medicine from a humanistic perspective, recognizing that it should be beyond equations or standardized approaches.
During my medical training, I served as the chair of the Bastyr Venture Grant program, an honor I received after being awarded a self-study travel grant. Through this experience, I delved into the realms of Tibetan Medicine and spirituality, refining my understanding of the connection in body, mind, and spirit in the healing process.
In my practice, I use an integrative approach that is both attentive and effective, ensuring that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs. I firmly believe that medicine encompasses more than just treating symptoms; it involves recognizing the inherent humaneness within each individual and the innate healing power of nature—embodied in the concept of “vis medicatrix naturae.” This holistic perspective is what distinguishes my practice Clinic Naturae, where every patient is valued and supported on their journey toward optimal health and wellness.
I have previously practiced in Iowa, is now established in the West Los Angeles area. I integrate therapies derived from naturopathic medicine with the foundational principles of health preservation found in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, and Tui-Na therapy. I deliver holistic care, addressing the well-being of patients encompassing their physical, mental, and spiritual dimensions.
This is, Ancient Medicine for Modern Health!
