Kimberley Benjamin L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
My first experience with acupuncture and Chinese medicine was in the late 90’s. I was working in a cigarette smoke environment and ended up with a deep chest cold. A roommate at the time insisted I go see “her” doctor. As we were going up the stairs I had no idea my life was about to change forever. Dr. Wang gave me acupuncture, tuina, and Chinese herbs and sent me on way. My cough and phlegm were gone in two days where most of my colleagues were living with symptoms for weeks. I started using Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine for my everyday healthcare from that day forward and have never looked back.
My mission is to…
My mission is to educate my patients on how to maintain their health using Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AOM). AOM, which includes acupuncture, diet, exercise, herbs, and relaxation techniques can optimize people’s health in ways that can prevents the imbalances that lead to illness. I empower my patients and make sure they know when it’s time to come and see me—or to proactively do something else to facilitate their own health.
