We're here to help you improve your well-being, because you want to thrive, right?! We use the holistic tools of acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition, with functional medicine and red light therapy to amplify your physical and mental wellbeing.
Acupuncture stimulates the release of endogenous chemicals that alter hormonal output, pain response, and other biological processes. It increases the body’s natural opioids and release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. This process has a powerful effect: decreasing inflammation, increasing blood flow, regulating hormones, relieving pain, and calming an out of balance nervous system.
Herbal and Nutritional Medicine
For centuries, Chinese herbalists have maintained the extensive use of medicinal herbs. Historically, dried herbs were boiled and drank as a tea several times a day. Today we can still drink herbs in tea, or take capsules, tinctures, pills, or apply topical patches, liniments, or salves. Kim has an Eastern and Western herb apothecary in the clinic, including granular Chinese herbs, tinctures, gels, capsules, salves, sprays, suppositories, and pills. Women who are pregnant or nursing can also take herbs safely, and we keep many in stock. Additionally, we have an online store, where you can have products shipped to your home and easily refilled.

It's a Lifestyle
People get acupuncture for various ailments, and love the results and refreshed feeling they have when they leave. We can improve the imbalances in our body and mind quickly; but to create deep and lasting change, cumulative and tune up sessions are essential. We will find a treatment plan for you that fits your schedule and your budget.
What To Expect
Our first consultation is designed to get to know you. We ask detailed questions about your daily routines, including your diet, digestion, sleep patterns, exercise/movement practices, and how you manage stress and pain. Once we get to know you, we address your concerns, track your progress, and provide a continuum of care. Our first visit is 75-90 minutes, and follow up visits are 50-60 minutes. When you schedule your first appointment, please fill out our online health intake. We will use that to guide us through our first and subsequent meetings. You will have acupuncture with each session, along with optional red light therapy, cupping, gua sha, or moxa.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine testing is another way to assess a person's physiological strengths & weaknesses and guide treatment. Our motto is "Test, Don't Guess!" We run several tests to see where a person needs support the most. Testing can be done with a visit to a lab for a blood draw, or with home test kits. These kits are easy, hassle-free, and backed by credible scientific studies. We test hormones, adrenals, the entire GI system, neurotransmitters, the brain, and toxins. We use DUTCH Complete hormone testing, the GIMAP comprehensive GI test, and the ORGANIX nutrition test. Not everyone needs functional medicine testing, it is a service we provide. Typically, a functional medicine initial consult is one hour, and follow ups are 30 minutes.
Availability and Scheduling
Kim is available Monday through Friday and appointments are suggested. Clients can schedule one session at a time, or save $$ with a package designed for your treatment plan. Please call us with questions: 916-872-1265.
