As a young girl, Dr. Goguen's interest in health and healing began after struggling with her own poor digestion. She became fascinated with why we get sick, how the disease process happens, and why experiences can be so different from one person to the next. She fell in love with Oriental Medicine because it encourages patients to take a proactive stance in the maintenance of their health rather than seek a temporary solution as ailments arise.
Holly Goguen's clinic specializes in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has been practiced in varying forms for over 2,000 years. Based in Redondo Beach, it provides quality Traditional Chinese medicine treatments to clients residing in the South Bay area.

In moxibustion, Chinese Mugwort (moxa) is rolled into sticks or cones and is burned and held close to the skin to stimulate acupuncture points and warm regions of the body with heat. This increases circulation and warms the tissues, improving blood flow.

Due to chronic pain I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Holly and her team for many years. There are days when my pain can be debilitating and I rely on her team's experience, knowledge and healing hands to get me through the day and improve my quality of life. I am so grateful that she, Nicole and Ariana are there when I really need them. Thank you!!!

Holly is truly a blessing. I have been her patient for several years and am grateful for her gentle accupuncture service and knowledge regarding vitamins. Holly is extremely companionate and cares about her patients well being.
I had previously suffered from migraines and knee pain. Thanks to Holly, I have experienced relief. I have literally limped in the office and walked out normally without pain. The was no Tylenol or Motrin needed. I have walked in with head pain and walked out feeling better. My current treatment is for maintenance and plan on using her services for the rest of my life.

I've delved into alternative medicine in the past and my experience has been a general understanding of the functionality of acupuncture. However, Andrew expanded my understanding of overall wellness. Andrew exudes knowledge and is well versed with how different factors affect and can hinder overall well-being . The initial visit included a comprehensive and in-depth aspects of nutrition, physical activity, and history of ailments. My treatment consisted of acupuncture and Gua Sha and I can tell you I slept soundly for the first time in a while. If anyone is indecisive, I encourage you to

I have only been seeing Holly for about 3 weeks, but in that short time she has managed to provide the care and advice I needed to turn my life around. I suffered from 20-30 day long periods for over 2 years. I refused to take birth control because of all the risks and was really starting to accept the fact that this was just the way it was going to have to be til I reached menopause. I was running low on energy, irritable, tired.. just fed up. & I'm only 29. After 3 sessions, Holly's acupuncture services FINALLY gave me the results I so desperately wanted but couldn't obtain

I have been receiving acupuncture at Aesthetic Genesis for 5+ years now and definitely recommend Holly. She is very knowledgeable and really takes the time to get to know you and ask questions in order to get to the root of your ailments and determine an appropriate course of treatment. I am a very satisfied customer!

Holly is great! We recently moved, forcing me to find a new acupuncturist in our new area. I feel so lucky to have found Holly - she has excellent credentials and experience. Holly is a great and patient listener, a quality that is hard to find. If you are considering acupuncture or finding a new acupuncturist, you should see Holly. She will put you at ease and take good care of you.

I wasn't sure if acupuncture would work to help my migraines but after Holly's treatments I can honestly say they have lessened significantly and I believe it's the acupuncture that has helped. The treatments have also alleviated a lot of my stress and anxiety. Holly is excellent, caring and a great listener. I highly recommend her!!!!

I've been a patient of Holly's for more than 8 years and she is fantastic! I first started seeing her to recover from sore muscles and tightness from beach volleyball and the results were instant. I experienced more flexibility and range of motion after each treatment. After a significant lower leg injury acupuncture reduced the pain and swelling following surgery. In addition, I've focused my treatments on stress and anxiety relief with great success. Holly takes the time to understand any issues you're facing and I recommend her practice to anyone looking into acupuncture

Holly LITERALLY changed my life. Beyond the fact that her treatments are amazing. She is such a good, kind person who truly cares about her patients. Every single appointment we have an in depth conversation about what's going on in my life and with my body. And every single appointment I ALWAYS feel better. Acupuncture is a tool. It's not a miracle. You also need to do the work outside of treatments to see results. Holly is my cheerleader! I highly recommend her and her practice.

I always say, I need to give a review for Holly and get busy and forget. Well today is the day. I have been seeing Holly for about 6 months now for both of my knees, problems sleeping and of course my fibromyalgia. Between Holly and massage therapist, I am doing 100 % better. I love that she is open on Sundays, I go see her and I feel like I can get through my week with little to no pain. She is so understanding and takes her time to listen to all of my concerns. My weekly visits with Holly are the best !

Before moving to LA, I saw two outstanding acupuncturists. I cannot recommend Holly at all. Beyond being late, rushing during treatment, being charged for every little thing (she charges for the use of her heat lamp), and having a office that smells of perfume, she does not talk with you to find out why you are there and what she can do to help. It felt like she put the needles in the same place for all. I really don't think she knew, read, nor cared about why I was there.

Holly is great! I've tried acupuncture a couple times in the past but never stuck with it. I tried it to help my lady problems, digestion, foot cramps and anxiety. I've been going to Holly every week for almost two months now and I feel better overall. My anxiety level has gone down and I feel much more balanced. Her location is one block from the beach, very serene and her energy is grounding. I look forward to acupuncture every week and it's something I hope I can continue doing long term! I highly recommend Holly! I've also seen another practitioner at her office and she

Holly and her team are amazing! I have gone here for acupuncture for over a year and she has a true talent. She impressed me since my initial visit. She is extremely thorough and really takes the time to understand your goals and what is going on with your body. She is charismatic about her work and her patients and it shows within her work. I constantly leave her office feeling refreshed and 10 times better than when I walked in.
I started seeing her for ongoing back pain from a slipped disk and she has helped me manage my pain to nearly no pain and I am able to maintain my physical activity

I saw no real improvement with my knee pain after several sessions.
After one of my sessions, I had some pain and it felt like something was tweaked. It took over a week for that discomfort to go away. I mentioned that the pain came after my appointment and was right where one of the needles was inserted, but she dismissed it and felt it couldn't have been something she did.
On a side note - does anyone else see the humor in her name? Holly be gougin?

Holly is amazing. I first started coming to her when I had a strange issue where I couldn't smell properly (I kept smelling a chemical smell). I knew that if I went to my GP he'd just tell me it was an allergy of some sort and give me medication. I thought I'd try a different approach and try acupuncture. I'm so glad I did!
Holly is a great listener, very patient, gentle and knowledgeable. After my first session, the chemical smell went away the following day. It was amazing, especially because I was worried about how long this condition would last and it really bothered

I highly recommend Holly! I had a chance to do a couple of sessions with her after a recent bout of back and neck problems. I had always been skeptical about the benefits of acupuncture, but Holly made me feel right at home. She asked all the right questions, and her demeanor was professional, and courteous. Plus, what a great location for an office!
But the most important part obviously was the results. I left each session feeling relaxed, and relieved of pain. Hopefully my problems won't return, but if they do, I will definitely be going back for more sessions!
