Health Professionals in California

I've had a Manual Therapy healing practice for 35 years. I consistently observe that the path to healing arises from a deep listening & from attaining balance & flow between the physical, emotional & spiritual aspects of our being. My interest in Holistic Health Care began when I put myself through University & Graduate school working as a Massage Therapist. At that same time, from an inspired vision, I designed, developed, & taught a program on Therapeutic Touch for the elderly at the Desert Institute for the Healing Arts. I hold MA Certification in Gerontology, BA in French Literature & Dance, & BA in Interdisciplinary Studies: Pre Med, Life Sciences & Humanities.

My medical practice of over 20 years focuses on the treatment of the whole individual to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. I have designed my practice as a nurturing environment where the physical, as well as the emotional, history lays the groundwork for treatment. Through this approach, I treat the cause of disease/illness rather than just the symptoms. Utilizing effective and appropriately individualized treatment methods, the patient is guided towards balanced health. The goal is to create optimal wellness by identifying and eliminating the stressors on a patient's system and supporting the body's physiology.

If you feel out of balance within your body, or even in your life, then I would recommend acupuncture and oriental medicine. Some primary examples of imbalance include: suffering from aches and pains, feelings of youth slipping away, and daily waking up to a mental state of depression and anxiety. Everyone in any state of health, and age, can benefit from acupuncture. This medicine is holistic, and it understands the body and its relationship to nature. On a personal level, acupuncture can help you find who you are, treat illnesses, and help you stay healthy, naturally.

Naturopathic physicians are trained as primary care providers who diagnose, treat and manage patients with acute and chronic conditions, while addressing disease and dysfunction at the level of body, mind and spirit. At Ascend Integrative Medicine, we concentrate on individualized patient wellness through health promotion and disease prevention, attempting to find the underlying cause of the patient’s condition. ​ we provide evidence-informed therapies that balance the least harmful and most effective approaches to help facilitate the body’s inherent ability to restore and maintain optimal health.

The main objectives of acupuncture treatment are relieving pain and other symptoms, strengthening the immune system, and balancing, harmonizing and integrating the functions of the internal organs with each other, making for a unified, healthy person, rather than a collection of fragmented, disharmonious parts. Oriental Medicine addresses and seeks to find the root or the cause of the problem rather than just merely treating the manifestations of various symptoms. Acupuncture increases the blood circulation to the area where the fine tiny needles are inserted. With increased circulation of blood the muscles relax, and they become tightened.

I’m Carly - a RD-N specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, mental health, & body image. My clients and I work 1:1 at the outpatient level to support their individual health concerns. Not all of my clients have diagnosed eating disorders - some of them have developed habits over the years that they'd like to change, need accountability for their health and wellness goals, or thanks in part to media representations about how we "should" look or "should" eat or "should" exercise, they just got confused along the way of how to relate to their own body. We fix that here.
