I provide quality, individualized natural medicine for the entire family. I particularly enjoy working with women, children and families. My patients appreciate my unique approach to their illness. I take time to get to know you as a whole person in order to address the root cause of your problem. I then use natural medicines to trigger the body's innate ability to heal itself and correct the imbalance. I use a combination of custom herbal formulations, diet, stress modification, exercise, acupuncture and specific supplementation. With these tools, I create a Personalized Wellness Plan at each visit that will work into your unique life.

I work with adults who want to improve their health through nutrition but feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice or unsure where to start. Many are managing prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or digestive concerns. Others simply want more energy, better metabolic health, and healthy aging. Together, we'll identify what's holding you back, create a personalized nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle, and build sustainable habits that help you reach your goals with confidence.

Hi! I’m Lauren, your period dietitian. I help women in their 20s through early 40s regulate their periods, ease frustrating PMS, and boost their energy and fertility, so they can feel more like themselves again. My clients are tired of extreme dieting, being told their labs are “normal” when they feel like trash, and that birth control is their only option to regulate hormones and manage symptoms until they want to get pregnant. I get it, which is why we do things a bit different around here.

As a Naturopath, I address the same problems that medical doctors see every day in their office. However, instead of treating a patient with medications that suppress symptoms, I work to find out what is causing the undesirable conditions. By exploring your specific symptoms and body/organ/gland conditions during your consultation, much can be learned about how your body is expressing nutritional deficiencies, the need to detoxify, weakened organ/glands, sensitivity to foods, emotional issues and more. Once this is understood it is often easy to explain how and why such negative symptoms and diseases have surfaced in the body.

Richard Kim L.Ac has learned Eastern Medicine in L.A. and he studied more in Republic of Korea. And his one of the eastern medicine skills is a Chuna manipulation which is the treatment of pulling and pushing the muscle which balances your body by releasing the tensions in the muscle, ligament, disc, and vertebrae. After the Chuna manipulation, Richard Kim L.Ac helps the movement of the patient during acupuncture treatment in severe cases. This movement assistance during the acupuncture therapy eases the pain by releasing the muscles, and circulating blood very well.
