About Sharon Featherstone L.Ac.
Chinese Medicine
Sharon Featherstone L.Ac. obtained her Chinese medical degree from Emperor's College in Santa Monica in 2004.
"I was born in England but have lived in Canada and the US for over 30 years. I was always unsatisfied with the traditional model of health care and the lack of importance placed on prevention, diet and life style. I wanted to know how to take care of my own health and became interested in nutrition and massage therapy. This lead me to Chinese Medicine and I realized this was the missing link I had been looking for. A medicine that incorporated diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine and these crazy little needles that could seemingly perform miracles. "
Integrative Medicine
Sharon also has extensive training in herbal formulations , supplements and nutritional protocols. As well as a more integrative, functional medicine approach using various lab work to better treat the root cause of illness.
" I use different styles of acupuncture in my treatments depending on the needs of the patient. I am trained in Traditional Chinese acupuncture, Dr. Tan's balance method, the use of electrical stimulation and trigger point needling . "
