Meet your healthcare practitioner

Hi, I'm Lynn.
I’m a California and nationally licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and yoga teacher with over 25 years of experience in holistic health. While I specialize in mental and emotional health, pain management, women’s health, digestive concerns, and cancer support, the scope of my practice is not limited to those conditions alone. Whatever brings you in, my goal is to support both your physical and emotional health so you can feel like yourself again.
I see healthcare as a partnership. When you come in, you can expect to be treated as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. I offer a calm, healing environment, truly listen to your concerns, and provide thoughtful, gentle, and comprehensive care designed to support long-term well-being and help you live your best life.
My path to Chinese medicine began as a patient. I was dealing with a collection of frustrating, unexplained symptoms and went through countless tests without answers or relief. That changed when I saw an acupuncturist who not only understood what was happening, but created a clear diagnosis and treatment plan using Traditional Chinese Medicine. With consistent care, my health returned; and I found my calling. I went on to earn my Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, graduated as valedictorian, and continue to study and refine this healing art so I can help others find their way back to balance and health.
Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me spending time with my two kids and our golden retriever, tending my organic garden, cooking, practicing yoga, enjoying the outdoors, traveling, and happily snacking on chips.
