To me, healing means learning to listen to your body----getting in touch with what you need, what your gut, your intuition is telling you, and moving towards that. When we are able to drop in and listen, we learn to make decisions for ourselves that are aligned with our overall health and wellbeing. While this won't always be the fastest way to health or healing, it's usually the most effective.

How does acupuncture play a role in the healing process?

When you're receiving acupuncture, all you, as the patient are doing, is feeling inwards; where the points feel heavy, warm or a little tingly, how the points light up throughout your body.

What are you excited about?

I'm so excited for Tia LA! Having seen the Tia Clinic in NYC from day 01 and witnessing all of the growing pains and lessons we've learned in how to organize everything from the space to the timing of the appointments to the way we greet patients, I'm so ready to see Tia LA come to life and put all of those lessons into place right away!

What are some of the changes you’re looking forward to making in L.A.? And what can patients look forward to from the new clinic?

There are so many amazing integrative practitioners in LA, we'll be building a referral network out here to help support our patients.

What’s one thing we can all do at home to make time for healing?
