Stephanie is committed to the exploration of health through Chinese Medicine, body therapies, and nutrition. As a licensed acupuncturist certified by the California Acupuncture Board and the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), she is dedicated to the continued growth and wellness of each of her patients. Her studies at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine allowed for opportunities to work with a variety of populations and disease processes including women's health, cancer care and support, endocrine disorders, and orthopedics. Stephanie's interests have guided her towards extensive internships at AcuSport Health Center under Vasa Mik and Jordan Allen and at Reproductive Wellness Center under Marc Sklar. Her studies also took her to Chengdu, China in the Szechuan Provence where she studied alongside prominent doctors in the hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This trip in particular demonstrated not only the essence and depth of Chinese Medicine, but also the true power of combining Chinese and Western Medicine.
