hi! i'm dr. vanessa.
doctor of chinese medicine
It is my mission to hold space for people to enjoy their mental health healing journey, to be able to access a relaxed state through the process, whether they're dealing with fertility, trauma, or pain.
I take tremendous pride in this work. I want my patients to feel heard, feel restored and be able to heal. I believe healing makes the world a better place.

when i'm not working
I like to do things that don't involve a screen. I love to laugh, eat good food, swim in warm oceans, spend time in nature; stargazing, rollerskating, paddleboarding, and hiking. I enjoy quality time with my family, friends, my dog. I'm fascinated with learning about spirituality. I'm a mystic at heart.
my education and training
I am licensed by the California Acupuncture Board and nationally board certified by NCCAOM.
I have extensive experience and continuing education in the specialties of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and trauma. I consider myself a guide for healing journeys and a fertility doula.
