Meet the Doctor

Dr. Denise Ho is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist with a passion for healing. She graduated from the California State University of Los Angeles with a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry before pursuing her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Southern California University of Health Sciences.She holds the highest level of acupuncture training and education, which only the top 1% of acupuncturists hold. Dr. Ho is certified by the California Acupuncture Board. Dr. Ho's doctoral research focused on electro-acupuncture for the alleviation of chronic migraine symptoms. Her research on this topic suggested that acupuncture combined with electrical stimulation may reduce migraine- associated symptoms and help improve quality of life for those with migraine. She recognizes that everyone has their own unique history and health goals and aims to provide individualized care through acupuncture and Chinese medicine. 

Growing up, Dr. Ho was surrounded by the influences of Eastern traditions, including the principles of Chinese medicine. However, it wasn't until she fell very ill in her childhood that she fully grasped its potential. Despite seeking help from Western doctors and taking their prescribed medications, her health continued to decline, leaving her frustrated and hopeless. After several months, she finally sought out a Chinese medicine doctor, who introduced her to the world of herbal remedies. Miraculously, within a mere two weeks, her health dramatically improved. This profound healing experience ignited a fire within her, compelling her to explore the secrets behind Chinese medicine's ability to restore balance and well-being. Driven by this newfound passion, she embarked on a quest for knowledge, even moving to Shanghai to study at one of the top Chinese medicine schools in the country. Inspired by her own journey, she made the decision to pursue a career in Chinese medicine, seeking to empower others to take charge of their health and embrace the profound wisdom of Chinese medicine.
