The Ideal Space for Healing & Wellness

I first started seeing Lauren for severe shoulder pain and anxiety-driven sleep problems. Not only were the results nearly instant (nothing beats that first post-acupuncture nap!), but they were sustained over time. Previously, nothing had helped – neither regular massage nor painkillers – so I was thrilled to have discovered the world of Chinese Medicine.
Lauren is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and welcoming. When you enter her clinic you feel at ease, and by the time you head home you’ll be on Cloud 9!
Whether you’re going to tend to a specific ailment or just for overall health and wellbeing, Lauren will make sure you get the most of your experience. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

No More Insomnia Nor Stress

Lauren helped me to resolve my insomnia and stress problem with acupuncture and with herbs since the first night after the consultation. Before the consultation I used to wake up around 3AM and weren’t able to fall asleep again or just for an hour. After the treatment, I had full nights (8h or more) and it’s was even hard to wake up like if my body was looking for even more sleep.
I was impressed by the effectiveness of acupuncture as it was the first time I experienced it. i strongly recommend Lauren with whom I had nearly instantaneous results.

Acupuncture and TCM Worked Wonders

“I began seeing Lauren in October 2014 to even out my hormones for a healthy conception and pregnancy. With her compassionate care and thorough analysis of my situation, she helped start me on the path to conception. Three months later, I found myself pregnant and nine months later, the mother of a healthy, happy, beautiful, baby boy. I’m positive that through Lauren’s care, our son came into this world under her loving and compassionate care.”

It was Meant to Be!

I was so incredibly blessed to have found, and been treated by Lauren over the few years that she resided in San Diego, CA. Upon our very first meeting I felt an instant connection to her, and we were able to share many sessions after that. I can honestly say she is really good at what she does.Lauren worked with me regularly for about 2 years for reasons ranging from treating common colds, to managing chronic knee pain from an old sports injury, to bouts of anxiety, to stimulating my milk production while I was nursing! All through her use of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, and herbs. I feel it was absolutely meant to be that I found Lauren when I did.  To have been able to work with her during a time in my life that was huge for me in terms of personal growth was so important.  She always had an answer, and she always made time for me, for that I am forever thankful to her.

Lauren Opened Up My Mind

“After suffering terribly with sciatica for 7 months I decided that I needed to look into other remedies other than popping unhealthy doses of ibuprofen. I finally started to look into other treatments and decided to give acupuncture a go. To say that I was initially skeptical would be an understatement but by this point I really was willing to try anything. I contacted Lauren and arranged my first appointment. My nerves were stilled as soon as I met Lauren; it was immediately evident that I was in very safe and knowledgeable hands. Any remaining doubts were soon shattered when Lauren rid me of the excruciating pain that I had been living with for the past year in just two sessions. I would recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone; in fact I have already sent some of my friends to see her. Not only did she treat my ailments but she also opened up my mind to a whole new school of medical thought.

Lauren is an Absolute Gem!

Not only does she have an outstanding understanding of the human body but she also creates an incredible experience that makes you want to keep coming back. She has created a calm oasis removed from the craziness of the city. I have facial weakness on one side of my face and Lauren’s treatments have really helped to stimulate some of the weaker muscles! She keeps up on the current research and is always willing to try a new approach. Even if you do not have one specific ailment you will leave a session with Lauren feeling healthy, refreshed and more in touch with your body!
