I have practiced and taught Classical Five-Element Acupuncture exclusively for 42 years.

My aim is to identify and resolve the core imbalance, whether it be at the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or all of the above. In this way, symptoms resolve naturally and effortlessly.

I work with clients to unpack their old beliefs around nutrition and create new, positive experiences with food. With an Intuitive Eating approach, the path to a peaceful and easy relationship with food is possible for everyone. I strive to earn the trust of my clients with compassion and sessions that feel safe and conversational. I work with my clients to identify harmful patterns and build confidence towards making informed, nourishing and satisfying food choices.

I have over 37 years of practical experience and specializes in gentle and painless Japanese Acupuncture for all conditions, gender and age. Have you ever felt your symptoms come from somewhere else than physical and rather more psycho-emotional? Our emotions effect our physical condition greatly and vise versa. My approach is to see a person as a whole integration of mind-spirit-body. In Vedic medicine, it says “The primordial cause of disease (dis-ease) is forgetting that you are a spirit.” Celestial Acupuncture is for those who are striving on your spiritual path but little bit struggling with manifesting a true desire.

I have over 25 years of experience and have cultivated special chi for healing.I graduated in 1983 in China .I was an Internal Medicine Doctor in the Emergency Room of a Hospital for 5 years.Now in Beverly Hills Clinic I have practiced over 20 years.

It is so refreshing when you can understand the underlying cause of your symptoms and finally feel heard by your doctor. I take time to listen to each of my patients and always strive to uncover the deepest cause of disease.

Many of my patients have sports injuries, occupational conditions, auto related injuries, stress related disorders, mental and emotional issues and psychosomatic conditions. Their symptoms are acute inflammation, chronic pain and flare-ups of both. I treat carefully after referring specialists for acute severe cases. Then one of my goals is to get results as soon as possible and as much as possible. All of us expect faster and certain recovery with less treatment. If I'm not treating pain, my patients enjoy oriental medicine for the transformation of the body, mind and spirit, including karmic issues.

A former surgeon, I became toxic from the chemicals and solvents in surgical scrub. Seeking treatments to detoxify my body, I studied Environmental Medicine, passing boards in 2008. Now completely healthy, and practicing the protocols which saved me, I successfully treat people with Allergies, Toxicity, and Chronic illnesses of all types. I've learned much since my days as a Surgeon. I take patient symptoms seriously no matter how "weird" they may sound. My uncle, who taught Internal Medicine at UCLA said, "listen, and the patient will tell you what is wrong." I practice this with each patient every day.

I incorporate Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Functional Medicine, Genetics, MTHFR, Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching. I also address environmental toxicity (heavy metals etc.) and cell inflammation in my assessments and treatments. In additional to internal organ dysfunction I hold a specialization in Acupuncture Orthopedics from the American Acupuncture Academy. It's long been known that Eastern medicine melds easily with Western principles for fertility and pregnancy treatments, but I take it a step further by incorporating DNA science, genetics and MTHFR into my practice for women who want to become pregnant and deliver healthy babies.
