We're here to help 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. Acupuncture decreases inflammation, increases blood flow, regulates hormones, relieves pain, and calms the nervous system. 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.
Herbal and Nutritional Medicine
Kim is a trained herbalist and has an apothecary in the clinic, including granular Chinese herbs, tinctures, gels, capsules, salves, sprays, suppositories, and pills.

It's a Lifestyle
People get regular acupuncture to address their health problems and love the results. To create deep and lasting change, a treatment plan designed for you is essential. Herbal formulas are recommended for almost all of our clients. Acupuncture sessions are typically scheduled one or two times a week for several months, then maintenance care is biweekly or monthly.
What To Expect
Our first consultation and treatment is designed to get to know you. We ask very detailed questions about your daily routines, including your diet, digestion, sleep patterns, exercise/movement practices, and how you manage stress and pain. We feel your pulses and look at your tongue, recommend a treatment plan designed for you, then give you acupuncture with optional cupping, gua sha, or moxa. As we get to know you, we address your concerns, track your progress, and provide a continuum of care. Our first visit is 75 minutes, and follow up visits are 50-60 minutes.
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.
