    FOUNDER & OWNER

    Lauren is a licensed, board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist specializing in orthopedic acupuncture, nervous system regulation, fertility and reproductive health, digestive disorders, hormonal balance, and holistic aesthetics. Her work is grounded in the belief that the nervous system is central to healing and that lasting health is built through personalized, preventative care.

    Her path into Chinese medicine began through addressing her own digestive and skin concerns, leading her to explore acupuncture, herbal medicine, advanced skincare, and lifestyle-based interventions. This experience shapes her practical, compassionate approach to patient care.

    Lauren holds a BA from the University of San Diego and earned her Master’s in Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine from Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, graduating summa cum laude. She completed clinical internships at the Women’s Resource Center and the Homeless Prenatal Program in San Francisco, which inform her work in prenatal and fertility care. She is currently completing a year-long apprenticeship in Acupuncture Sports Medicine with Whitfield Reaves, with focused training in treating pain, chronic tension, sports injuries and postural strain.

    Her clinical philosophy centers on prevention, balance, and sustainable change. Lauren practices integrative medicine that respects the role of Western care when appropriate while remaining rooted in holistic, preventative treatment. Her work blends evidence-based practice with traditional wisdom, intuition, and individualized care.

    Outside of the clinic, Lauren enjoys yoga, pilates, reading, and sharing nourishing meals with the people she loves.
