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, chronic pain, 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.

MENTAL ILLNESS
DISCOVER
Specialties
Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults live with a mental illness. NIMH
For the nearly 20% of U.S. adults navigating the challenges of mental illness, hope and healing are possible. We offer a comprehensive, personalized path to wellness that unites the ancient art of classical acupuncture, the bespoke formulations of custom Chinese herbs, and the groundbreaking science of functional gut microbiome analysis. Together, these modalities work synergistically to support your mental health journey and empower you to embrace a brighter, more vibrant tomorrow.
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 an all-too-common experience. For those seeking to break free from these chains, somatic acupuncture provides a profound pathway to liberation working at the deepest levels to release trauma's grip on the body, allowing you to shed the self-limiting beliefs that have held you back. Through somatic acupuncture, you can reclaim your autonomy, rewrite your narrative, and step into a future unburdened by the wounds of the past.

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 works to restore circulation in the body, mind, and spirit, promoting a sense of flow and harmony. Meticulously selected Chinese herbs target the underlying imbalances that often contribute to affective disorders, such as blood stagnation, qi disturbances, and dampness accumulation. The ZenBelly Reset™ Program helps separate your physical being from your emotional state, allowing you to disentangle your identity from feelings of anxiety or depression and reclaim a sense of freedom.
MICRONEEDLING + COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
Adverse effects such as bone loss are more likely to be reported with the therapeutic use of Botox. PMID 40272396
Headaches are also a reported complication. PMID 41709680 Cosmetic surgery involves downtime, risk factors, and possible minor or major complications.
