WHAT PEOPLE ARE
Saying
“Kristen is my healer in so many ways! I started seeing Kristen in May, and I have felt a huge sense of relief and guidance through her practice. Going consistently, I can feel my mind and body healing. It's such a gift.
Also, her recommendation for herbs is always on point. I used to have bad period cramps, and for the last two months, I've been pain-free. Thankful for Kristen, she's a crucial part of my healing”.
— Laticia Rolle., Entrepreneur, Podcaster, Model, Los Angeles, CA
“Dr. Lum is honest, kind, caring, and truly an exceptional healer. She's guided me into a new diet—what I should add and remove to improve my health issue. I was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid, and a western doctor recommended a hysterectomy (the fibroid is big, which makes me look like I'm pregnant). One month later... with the new diet, acupuncture treatments, and Chinese herbs I've been able to see a change in my body and feel the fibroid shrinking.
Dr. Lum is attentive during the treatment, doesn't dismiss your complaints, and always checks on you to make sure your body is reacting well to the treatment. She lets you know what she's working on as she's inserting needles and explains how it will improve your condition.
Bonus: Scheduling an appointment has been a breeze—which is great for my busy schedule.”
— Susan S., Graphic Designer, Santa Monica, CA
“I suffer from a neurological disorder that causes chronic headaches. The limited treatment options available with Western medicine has definitely improved my quality of life to a point but working with Dr. Lum has taken that improvement so much further. Since I started acupuncture and cupping, I feel healthier and I have far more headache free days than I've had in the past—nothing short of a miracle.
It's also helping with my overall health and wellness. I had a session with her recently when I was under the weather and feeling pretty awful (not COVID- was tested and discussed with her for safety), and the next morning I woke up and felt like a million bucks all day.
Acupuncture got rid of my ailment so quickly, and now my goal is to feel like that every day. Dr. Lum is helping me get there between acupuncture treatments and herbs. If you are looking for an acupuncturist I highly recommend Kristen Lum.”
— Ari G., Costume Designer, Los Angeles, CA
“My son has been going to Kristen since September 2018. After refusing to take medication for some health issues, we decided to give acupuncture and herbal medicine a try, and we are very happy we did.
Kristen is very attentive and has the ability to not only treat teens but also talk to them at their level, and she is a great listener as well. I appreciate her walking us through all the treatments and explaining everything along the way. She has helped him with his back pain, acne, and other health issues. I would highly recommend Kristen for any health issues you might be having, she is friendly and highly knowledgeable in her field. She makes you feel at ease with all the needles.”
— Blanca H., Sales Manager, Burbank, CA
“I had pain in my tailbone for almost a year. I went from an ER doctor to my internal medicine doctor, to a chiropractor, to my gynecologist, to a colon specialist, and to a masseuse. All of my labs, X-Ray, and a full MRI were negative and normal. No swelling, no fluid, and no cyst or tumor.
It was hard to get out of the car or a chair. I had three donut pillows for my car, for home, and for my desk at work that I would sit on for temporary relief. Doctors gave me prescribed pain relievers that I did not want to depend on. My co-worker suggested acupuncture. I was desperate and saw Dr.Lum.
She is my miracle doctor!! She is the BEST!!! My first acupuncture visit with her cured all my pain from tailbone. It just went away, and I have been painless ever since. She is my go to doctor for anything and forever!”
— Christine E., Pediatric Nurse, Beverly Hills, CA
“Kristen Lum is an excellent healer and physician. She listened closely to all my symptoms and took the necessary time to really get a complete picture of my condition. Her advice and treatments have made a big difference and she is particularly excellent in creating signature herb treatments that really helped my digestion and sinus issues.”
— Cynthia S., Magazine Editor, Santa Fe, NM
“Besides fixing my night sweats and insomnia with herbs, Dr. Lum has resolved my chronic hip pain! I used to NOT be able to sit for longer than fifteen minutes or be able to get out of the car without extreme pain from my right hip. The worst was when I could no longer go on my daily 3-mile walks.
Heavy meds and/or an epidural were what was left for me. I am so relieved that I decided to try acupuncture and that I found Dr. Lum. It's been a process and I am so grateful! She is a great listener and very intuitive. I highly recommend her for whatever ails you.”
— Renee R., High school Teacher, Los Angeles, CA
“Dr. Lum is fantastic! I spent two years looking for relief at chiropractors and physical therapists. Finally, I tried acupuncture and was truly astonished by the results. After just two sessions, my injury was completely healed. Dr. Lum is patient, kind, and definitely knows what she's doing. I am grateful to have found her and continue to see her for just about everything else! Don't waste another minute booking appointments with other doctors. You have found your answer!”
— Nilou N., Marketing Specialist, Los Angeles, CA
“Guess what? You've found your new acupuncturist. My life has now improved 100%, because I have Kristen to help me along. No longer having to live with pain or discomfort and being able to remedy any ailment is such an awakening that I wish I started treatments years ago. My overall happiness has been a subconscious yearning that's been suppressed for years. I can't wait for my next appointment and I can't wait to discover where else I can improve.”
— Vilius Z., Park Ranger, Santa Clarita, CA
“I don't know where to begin! Kristen has not only been an amazing healer but also has served as a therapist. I went in last year to deal with my stress and since then, she has helped me with anxiety, gallstones, being present, and letting go. It's been a process, but I thoroughly enjoy her demeanor and bedside manners.
She puts me at ease and makes the whole experience enjoyable. I always leave her office more at peace and free of pain. Drinking the herbs has also been a great addition to my diet and natural healing. Looking forward in continuing to work with her!!!”
— Alex M., Senior Human Resource Business Partner, Gardena, CA
“Dr. Kristen Lum is truly the real deal! Her style of acupuncture goes way more in-depth than regular TCM acupuncture. I would have saved myself many years of pain and money if I had known about this type of acupuncture before!
I have been seeing Dr. Lum weekly since the start of the new year. She has helped me dramatically in reducing years of bodily pain and injury. I have had upper back and neck stiffness along with sciatic pain (lower back, hip, and leg pain) for over 15 years. I have seen chiropractors, active-release massage therapists, and TCM acupuncturists. Hands down the type of acupuncture she does (Classical Acupuncture) is amazing.
Kristen is very thorough and always eager to help work on any ailments that I am experiencing the day that I see her. I really like that she explains to me exactly what's going on with my body and how it relates to me on an emotional and physical level. The most amazing and cathartic experience I have had yet was when she did this meridian sinew release treatment where she literally ‘pulled the pain and stored emotions’ out of my body from where I have been holding it for years.
My favorite thing is when she does cupping on my back and uses this amazing menthol CBD oil. It feels like a deep massage, and I can really feel stuff being released and moved around. I trek all the way out from the Los Feliz area to see her, and she is worth it. Thank you!
— Stefanie L., Holistic Health Coach, Atwater Village, CA
“Dr. Kristen Lum is AMAZING! She practices classical acupuncture which goes much deeper than regular acupuncture, which is exactly what I needed to move forward from all the built-up pain I had accumulated over the years. She listens intently, not only with her professional ear but also with her whole heart to pinpoint the exact treatment necessary to heal both the physical and emotional centers of pain. I love her and am so thankful for her healing care.”
— Donna M., College Dean, Woodland Hills, CA
“Kristen may be a Classical acupuncturist by vocation, but in actuality, she is a brilliant healer and miracle worker. I first started seeing her in February after suffering post-operative issues from an emergency stomach surgery. Once she regulated all lingering discomfort, she began to address other chronic ailments (that she identified in my pulse) including persistent pain from scoliosis and a car accident, digestion, chronic fatigue, migraines, and mental health issues.
While I am a tremendous advocate for [talk] therapy, she did what my doctors cannot - physically release the trauma, anxiety, and depression that get stored in the body to promote true healing. She has also served as a nutritionist, and by cutting out specific foods I've eaten my whole life I can say I've never felt better or healthier. My life is forever changed thanks to Kristen, and I trust her wholeheartedly with my body, mind, and spirit.”
— Amanda C., Corporate Sales Trainer, Studio City, CA
“Kristen Lum is inspiring! I am thankful every day for her skill as a Classical acupuncturist as well as her innate wisdom and caring nature. I am a senior and am benefitting tremendously through her expertise. I have made healthful lifestyle changes due to her encouragement. I can only imagine what marvelous results her younger clients must be experiencing through her guidance.
She has treated me for a variety of symptoms/ailments as well as preventative healthcare, and I am always amazed at the immediate relief and long-lasting results. I recommend Kristen with the highest of regard.”
— Patricia B., Government Surveyor, Los Angeles, CA
“Kristen Lum is a miracle worker!!”
— Jane Oppenheimer, Audiobook Narrator, Studio City, CA
“Dr. Lum is an amazing acupuncturist! Prior to her treatment, I was receiving chiropractic care for over two years only to have temporary relief..if any. Doctors were recommending cortisone shots without knowing if they would even help me.
I didn’t like the sound of it and believed in a more natural way of healing. Within two treatments with Dr. Lum, my pain level had cut down to half. Within four treatments, my pain level was almost at ZERO! By the fifth treatment completely gone!
I share this because I don’t think anyone should live in pain, and I’m amazed at ALL the different ways acupuncture can really help. Dr. Lum has such a passionate heart for helping people live healthy and pain-free. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in her work. She is absolutely worth seeing!!!”
— Lisa P., Mother, Sherman Oaks, CA
“After suffering from several health issues and all tests pointing to normal levels, I sought to find holistic healing. I found Dr. Lum on Yelp along with other local listings. After reviewing most of the profiles, I felt Dr. Lum had the knowledge, experience, and training that matched my interest. I was hoping she would be able to help relieve some of my current ailments.
The treatment I received from Dr. Lum was more attentive than anticipated. She is extremely professional, and by no means did I ever feel rushed or forced to treat ailments that did not exist. She provides an in-depth interview of your health and along with the treatment takes time to discuss details of progress to help build upon treatments that work best for you.
Dr. Lum provides such excellent personal attention that I am thankful to have found her. I definitely recommend Dr. Lum to anyone with an open mind, seeking holistic healing, and willing to take time to improve their health, even if it’s just a small change at a time.”
— Mayra G., Office Manager, Los Angeles, CA
“Dr. Lum is the best acupuncturist and herbal medicine doctor I have been to. I have been to at least five. She makes you feel comfortable and honestly wants you to heal from within. During one visit, I failed to mention a problem I was having and she was able to pinpoint it just by reading my vitals, etc. If you are having any issues, I highly recommend Dr. Lum in a heartbeat!”
— Tanya R., Human Resources Manager, Los Angeles, CA
