NEW LOCATION IN NORTHRIDGE
BEFORE you were in pain, before the diagnosis, the flare-up, the mold exposure, the trauma your body's still holding, there was a blueprint. A version of you fully aligned with your purpose, your passion, your own becoming.
That’s the work here. Whether we're addressing digestion, nervous system dysregulation, auto-immune disorders, hormonal imbalance, or the residue of what your body's been through, it's never just about the symptom. It's about clearing what stands between you and the self to which you were always meant to return.
I AM Kristen Lum, LAc, and I practice Classical Chinese Medicine and Integrative Medicine rooted in the belief that healing isn't separate from purpose. Mind, body, and spirit were never meant to be treated apart. When we bring them back into alignment, you don't just feel better. You come back to yourself. Back to source.

Each session is thoughtfully curated to deliver truly bespoke, personalized care—designed specifically for individual needs and goals.
Our expert practitioners blend acupuncture with a spectrum of integrative therapies, including Classical acupuncture, ordering labs, nutritional guidance, custom Chinese herbal formulas, nutraceuticals, somatic therapy, tuina (Chinese bodywork), breathwork, meditation, Chroma red/blue near-infrared light therapy, reiki, tuning fork therapy, sound healing, aromatherapy, hot stones, cupping, and more, crafting a unique therapeutic experience for every person.
In our clinic, patients benefit from maximum face-to-face time with practitioners. Every session is deeply attentive and interactive—needs are continuously heard, addressed, and incorporated throughout your time with us, making your care truly collaborative.

MENTAL ILLNESS
Specialties
DISCOVER
Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults live with a mental illness. NIMH
We offer a personalized path to wellness that combines classical acupuncture, custom Chinese herbal formulas, and functional gut microbiome analysis. These modalities work together rather than in isolation, supporting your mental health from multiple angles at once. The goal isn't just symptom relief. It's helping you move toward a steadier, more vibrant way of living.
TRAUMA
About 6 of every 10 men and 5 of every 10 women experience at least one trauma in their lives. PMID: 15740465
Women are more likely to experience sexual assault and child sexual abuse. CDC
Trauma is common, and it lives in the body, not just the mind. Somatic acupuncture works at that deeper level, releasing what's been held in the tissue long after the event itself has passed. Patients often describe it as reclaiming a part of themselves they thought was gone, freeing them to write a different story going forward.
MICROBIOME +
MENTAL WELLNESS
95% of serotonin is produced in the gut. PMID: 29909048
Dive deep into the unique landscape of your gut microbiome with our state-of-the-art functional analysis. The ZenBelly Reset™ Program translates these findings into a comprehensive, individualized plan encompassing customized nutrition advice, carefully selected supplements and nutraceuticals, and actionable lifestyle tips—all aimed at restoring balance to your heart-gut-brain connection. When we restore leaky gut, we restore leaky brain.
ANXIETY + DEPRESSION
Women are significantly more likely to suffer from affective disorders than men. PMID: 26107348
Acupuncture restores circulation and flow throughout the body, mind, and spirit. Targeted Chinese herbs address the underlying imbalances, like blood stagnation and qi disturbance, that often sit beneath anxiety and depression. Through the ZenBelly Reset™ Program, you start to separate who you are from what you're feeling, and reclaim a sense of freedom in between.
MICRONEEDLING + COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Botox carries reported risks such as bone loss. PMID 40272396 and headaches PMID 41709680, and cosmetic surgery brings its own downtime and complication risks.
Our packages work with your own biology, stimulating collagen and elastin production for results that build gradually and hold. Unlike Botox or filler, microneedling introduces nothing foreign to the tissue and comes with far less downtime. For patients who want a different path to aging well, cosmetic acupuncture offers exactly that around your own body's timeline.
