Experienced, Gentle, Effective

     Dr. Lori was born and raised in Elmont, NY (on Long Island), but has mostly lived in California since 2000. Her days mostly revolve around her senior pup, Minny. She even joins her at the work sometimes!

      Lori has always been interested in holistic health and Asian philosophies. After growing up with year-round allergies and falling asleep from the medication in 8th grade Science class (it was the 80s), she decided to look for natural ways to address her symptoms. This was a big step on her choosing her career path that was furthered when she became vegetarian at 19 and needed to make sure she was getting proper nourishment. (Mostly vegan now; for the animals!!) She is also a lover of books and vividly remembers a section in Time-Life's Mysteries of the Unknown: Powers of Healing that was about acupuncture.

     Chinese Medicine is such an elegant and complete system that incorporates

so many different aspects of life. Dr. Lori feels fortunate to practice it and to be

able to help others.
