Owner and Licensed acupuncturist
Hi I'm Kim and I'm a California and Nationally licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. I completed my Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University in Santa Cruz, California. I owned White Peony Acupuncture in the bay area for 18 years prior to relocating to the Sacramento region.
In my twenties, I learned first-hand how effective acupuncture was when I got complete recovery from chronic tendonitis after six visits. I also experienced normalization of my menstrual cycles in two months with herbal medicine. I love sharing the benefits of acupuncture, herbs, and nutrition with everyone. I have focused the majority of my career addressing all aspects of women's health in various settings: my own clinics, IVF fertility centers, clients' homes, women's cancer support centers, home births, and the hospital labor and delivery.
Clinic and virtual apothecary
Herbal and Nutritional Medicine
A passion to learn about herbal medicine is what led me to study Chinese medicine. I studied and used Western herbs first with experienced herbalists I connected with in my community. An herbalist resolved my irregular cycles in one month with one formula. Later, my chronic sports injuries were completely fixed with acupuncture and gua sha. I worked with many acupuncturists before I chose Eastern medicine as her career. The beautiful combination of dried Chinese herbs pictured here still inspires me, twenty years into practicing.
Historically, dried Chinese herbs were boiled and strained as a tea and drunk several times a day. Now patients can still drink teas, or take capsules, tinctures, or pills; each method is effective.I use granular Chinese herbs to which hot water is added to create teas. I have an Eastern and Western herb apothecary in the clinic, including tinctures, gels, capsules, salves, sprays, suppositories, and pills. Women who are pregnant or nursing can take many herbs safely, and I carry many of these.
