Business Owner

Zen was first introduced to acupuncture after she suffered an arm injury from snowboarding. Nervous about needles and unaware about the meridian systems, she was amazed that with just one session she was able to feel tremendous relief and increased range of motion in her immobilized arm that was in a sling.

Zen was led to Emperor’s College, where she completed a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine and spent four years studying not only Acupuncture but Chinese herbal medicine, Qi Gong exercises and other thousand-​year-​old techniques such as cupping, Moxibuxtion and Gua Sha that have been used to cure millions of people in China.

Zen’s success using Traditional Chinese Medicine to treat patients with chronic health issues has been very gratifying. Not only have her patients enjoyed effective pain relief and remission from symptoms, but some patients have even been able to avoid invasive surgery because of the treatments and therapy they’ve received.

I started seeing Zen in August 2015 to assist with some fertility issues. I thought of myself as a relatively healthy person — or at least I didn’t complain much. I have come to realize that many of the ailments I accepted as a part of my «modern lifestyle» were not things I actually had to live with — they could be fixed! In addition to fertility problems/​hormonal imbalances, I had the following symptoms: insomnia, occasional bloating or upset stomach, swelling, poor circulation, neck and back pain, mild headaches, and anxiety.
After about 6 months, I’d say my overall health has improved at least 75%.This was my first experience outside of Western medicine and I am so amazed. I sleep soundly most nights, rarely struggle with bloating of any kind, my neck and back pain is managed to a degree that my trips to the chiropractor are few and far between, I feel a greater sense of calm and — most importantly to me — my hormones are finally getting under control.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zen. She is attentive and detailed without EVER being pushy or overbearing. She is completely upfront about any charges well in advance so you never feel like she is «pulling a fast one on you.» She listens so well, remembers every conversation and takes copious notes, and really feels invested in my health and well being. She is sweet and kind and so good at her job. I’ve gone for weekly sessions and have been taking her custom herb blend and I feel like I’m really making progress in so many ways.
I can’t recommend her strongly enough.

After western doctors had told me that they could do nothing about my consistent pain from ovarian cysts, i scoured Unilocal for a trustworthy acupuncturist and found Zen. I had had success treating ailments this way in the past, and this experience has been different only in the way that it really feels like a treatment. Zen is very calm and organized, and is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She answers my myriad of questions very kindly, and has been able to inform me along the way about what she’s noticing about my healing process and lifestyle. Needless to say, my condition has greatly improved and Zen’s attentiveness, needles and herbs have really balanced me! I highly recommend.

I went to see Zen after reading her reviews on Unilocal.I called and left a message and she promptly returned my call and that is the start of an amazing experience in my journey to be pain and stress free. Zen’s bedside manner and her ability to process your symptoms and respond to your physical and mental needs is outstanding. Her office is a peaceful haven and conducive to healing. The herbal treatments she recommends do not come with a hard sell just the knowledge of what will help you best to balance your bodies needs and requirements outside of the needle therapy.
There is no doubt in my mind that I would HIGHLY recommend Zen to anyone considering acupuncture be it a seasoned veteran or a newbie…

I had chronic pain as a result of a rotator cuff injury that did not improve after a cortisone injection and physical therapy, so I decided at the urging of my wise daughters to seek a new type of treatment which led me to the wonderful Zen! She has quite literally changed my life with her ability to completely remove the pain in my shoulder and arm through acupuncture. She has helped me in so many additional ways as well as I have hypothyroidism and have a variety of issues I deal with (constipation, tiredness, inability to tolerate the cold, etc.) which have significantly improved or gone away in the 3 short weeks I have been seeing Zen and I look forward to continued improvement with future sessions. I was so impressed that I had my daughter see her for an injury to her foot (swelling and pain after a fall) and after two visits she is recovered. So you know I had to schedule an appointment for my husband to come in to see what Zen can do for his stress and aches and pains though that is not until next week, so now this is a family affair which should tell you how much trust and faith I have in her ability to treat all of us!

I have relied on acupuncture to address various health issues for almost a decade, and have worked with wonderful acupuncturists on both sides of the country, including three practitioners in the Pasadena area. I’ve been seeing Zen for about a year now and she is one of the best! In my time as her patient, I have experienced significant improvement in the concerns that I initially brought to her, and the relief I have felt has been priceless.
Zen is kind, patient, and most importantly, incredibly thorough in her practice. The herbal formula she has prescribed for me has been extremely effective and not too costly. She is a great listener and works very hard to meet your needs while respecting your limitations. (I have frequent scheduling issues due to the nature of my work and commute and have appreciated her patience so much.) Her office is clean and comfortable. I really can’t say too many good things about Zen – if you think acupuncture might be the thing for you, do yourself a favor and check her out.

I’ve suffered from lower back pain for over two years, which consequently lead to mid-​back and shoulder pain as well. On top of that, I’m menopausal and suffering mightily and not really comfortable with hormone replacement therapy due to my family history of cancer. I tried just about every treatment known to man, including acupuncture. However, treatment with Zen is markedly different. Her thorough analysis and questioning techniques have lead to no shoulder pain and tremendously reduced hot flashes and night sweats. The lower and mid-​back pain have become more manageable, as well. I have recommended her to a couple of my friends already!

I have seen Zen for various ailments over the years. She is a skilled and knowledgeable practitioner. As an acupuncturist myself, I trust her to be one of the best. I refer her to many of my friends and family in the area. She is wonderful!

I have been seeing Zen for quite a few months now. I started going due to an injury but found acupuncture has helped with my stress, my sleeplessness and even some of my moodiness ;). Zen is truly amazing and patient. She really cares about her patients and takes the time and care to understand your needs. I had never done acupuncture before this and I’m so glad I found Zen because I truly hate needles. It’s been a fantastic experience and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Zen is the best! I had never had acupuncture before, but Zen put me right at ease, and I even did a package of 10 sessions after the first because it was so relaxing. Zen really listens to everything you say, and she remembers everything without having to look it up all the time. Book sessions inn advance, she gets busy!

I’ve had chronic back pain since my car accident in 2008, then had surgery. I was tired if taking medication after medication so I decided to take the all natural route and I’m glad I made that choice. Zen treated me for back pain and it’s been a month and a half and I’ve cut my medication intake from daily to only 2 times a month IF I need it. I will definitely go back an and I highly recommend her. She is kind and open to answer any questions

I went in for a 15-​minute-​introduction-​to-​acupuncture treatment during a Healing with Zen open house. During the pre-​session interview I mentioned that I’ve had a very sore, stiff neck with limited range of motion for a very long time. Zen said she’d work on it. During the session my range of motion immediately improved, but the pain remained. Today, after ONLY A 15 MINUTE TREATMENT, my range of motion is greatly improved and the pain is minimal.
Thank you, Zen.

This is the first time here.
I scheduled my Cupping Therapy session through the website. I received a call and email confirmation within 2 hours. (Pretty amazing)
The session went great. I I didn’t want to get off the table. I really felt like I was being heard. Zen was very comforting to be around.
I’m going back next week for Acupuncture which will be a first for me.

When I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted a natural approach to birth and pregnancy. I decided to go to Zhen as a way to deal with common pregnancy issues including my nausea and sleep problems. I felt immediate relief when I started to see her in my first trimester. Then in my second trimester she helped me fight bladder and urinary tract infections without using antibiotics. Zhen is super knowledgable and effective, not to mention very sweet and personable. I highly recommend her to any pregnant women or just anyone seeking alternative methods for healing.

I own a business and therefore I have a busy schedule. Stress is something I always have to work to cope with. I had a treatment with Zen to help reset my body and help me to relax more. It was fantastic she has a very calm demeanor and very professional. She did a full diagnosis and treated me with some needling which I have had before but I was surprised at how little I felt the needles. The whole experience made me feel so light and relaxed afterwards I was very impressed. I would recommend her to all of my friends.

I had my first acupuncture session with Zen and it was surprisingly relaxing. I was nervous about the needles and she reassured me that there was nothing to be nervous about.
During the session I felt very relaxed and even fell asleep. The health issues I went in for improved immediately after the session. I was surprised at how quick the results came.
After the session Zen gave me some lifestyle advice to help balance my stomach and headace issues. I later come back in for more session and she noted that my health was improving.
Zen’s personality is so perfect for this line of work I recommend her to close family and friends and they have been very happy.

Healing with Zen is a great facility! Zen walked me through the entire session and gave me tips to continue the healing process on my own at home. I have been going to doctors for years but acupuncture has been able to provide a holistic approach on healing. I immediately noticed a gradual change in my body and feel like it is now aware of itself.
I am looking forward to going to more acupuncture sessions, to help empower my body to heal itself naturally! I highly recommend it!

I’ve gone to chiropractors about my back problems before, but my back problems would always return. Zen gave me a different approach to fixing my back and its working! She knew right away how to fix my back long term, and she explained it so well that even I feel its an amazingly simple approach.
I’m normally uncomfortable with needles, but Zen explained everything to put me at ease, and I actually felt comfortable with needles sticking out of me. It was a new and very rewarding experience.
I highly recommend Healing with Zen.

I have done acupuncture before and it didn’t address my issue. I then gave it another go with Zenbook and it was great, she definitely pinpointed where I needed help with and even told me about exercises to aid as well. She followed up with me and now my issue has abated. The atmosphere in which you are treated as well is just soothing and calm. She communicates what she will be covering and asks for feedback constantly to ensure comfort and professionalism. I will be back to her soon for my knee and a stress treatment as well.

Zen is an extremely knowledgable, effective, and attentive acupuncturist. I saw her recently because of a persistent cough and sinus headache. Within one hour of our appointment, my sinus pressure went away. My lungs felt much more open and the cough lessened. Because my insurance allows for partial reimbursement, I found that her prices are extremely reasonable and comparable to other acupuncturists (who are not nearly as thorough as Zen).
For those who are intimidated by needles: Zen uses a technique that makes the process almost painless. Of course, a few that were inserted into the face hurt for half a second, but it was nothing terrible. All in all, this was a great experience and I will definitely be returning.

I was offered a FREE consultation and was so amazed by Zen’s expertise and knowledge. Zen was very informative and gentle, she walked me through each step she was doing. For my first time trying acupuncture, it was a fantastic experience, that’s why I decided to purchase a 5-​visit package.
I walked in with a nagging pain in my hand, shoulder and back. Each visit, she tackled each issue and instantaneously, the pain subsided! I couldn’t even tell she had inserted acupuncture needles in me.
As with all therapy treatments, multiple visits are a MUST. Even though I felt instant relief, I knew better than to just visit one time and leave it at that. I have since finished my 5-​visit package, and am planning on purchasing another package to continue my treatment.
If you are looking for a HOLISTIC approach to treating any ailments, try acupuncture… with HEALING WITH ZEN! Whether it’s for Anti-​Aging, Weight-​Loss, joint pain, muscle pains, etc… you’d be surprise at what acupuncturists can do!
