Lauren is a California board certified Licensed Acupuncturist with a Masters degree in traditional oriental medicine from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine and a BA in Psychology from Cal State University Channel Islands.
Other than working with stress and emotional conditions such as anxiety and depression, Lauren's true passion is working with the prenatal population. Providing support during a woman’s most exciting, yet vulnerable time is a beautiful experience. Pregnancy can be challenging both physically and emotionally, and it is important for new moms to know that they there are ways we can help. As a mom of two, Lauren understands that prenatal care and support is much more than routine check ups and ultrasounds, it’s about having your concerns heard and having physical and emotional wellness met. Helping women find peace in the transition from pregnancy to motherhood and beyond is something Lauren is passionate about. No matter what phase you are in your life, Lauren’s warmth, compassion and enthusiasm creates a space of empowerment and confidence to provide support to her patients in every step of the healing process.
Lauren fully appreciates the holistic viewpoint of Eastern medicine and how it helps bridge the mental/emotional aspects of psychology with the physical body. Embracing the intricate balance between the body and mind, Lauren provides a fully individualized healing plan for each of her patients integrating acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle to suit their needs.
