I practice natural forms of medicine that help people access internal strength and balance, warding off disease in the body. Usually people who are feeling 'out-of-balance' remember a time when they have felt healthy. My work is about bringing the body back in to this state of homeostasis where the body can thrive.
The origins of Oriental Herbal Medicine date back to the Han dynasty in China (206BC - 220AD). Since that time, for over 2000 years, this knowledge has been preserved and built upon, to the point that Oriental Herbal Medicine is now extremely complex and advanced. Herbal medicine draws on hundreds of traditional botanicals to tailor medicines for each individual and specific condition, as no general formula is good for everyone.
Originating in Asia more than 3,000 years ago, Oriental Medicine, also known Asian or Eastern Medicine, is one of the oldest forms of healthcare. Over the centuries, Japan, China, and Korea have each made significant contributions to the field. It is widely practiced throughout Asia, Europe, Russia, and is increasing becoming part of integrative medical care in the United States.

I wish I had known about Chinese herbal remedies, Acupuncture, and other trusted alternatives to traditional medicine and Rx earlier in my life. However, better late than never. So I have several medical and physical issues that Lana addresses. She is extremely gentle, skilled and knowledgeable. Her treatments are effective and her setting is lovely. I recommend her without hesitation. I travel more than a short distance to see her. Check out her website: very user-friendly! Five well-deserved stars!

Lana is excellent!! So knowledgeable, thorough and precise. She gets to the root of the problem! I HIGHLY recommend her as you will be in good hands. I came to Lana with a horrible cold/cough that settled deep into my lungs and ears and already had two rounds of Western antibiotics which did nothing. With Lana I was able to use Chinese antibiotics (which did not mess up my intestinal flora) and then learn about why I am prone to these colds in the first place and how to use Chinese medicine techniques as prevention (like eating warm foods, keeping warm and more). Now I don't get horribly sick

Lana is an amazing healer. She goes above and beyond for her patients, and she works hard to identify exactly what is needed for the individual. When I had pneumonia and a week of antibiotics didn't fully get rid of it, she gave me a special herb mixture to brew -- she even loaned me her personal ceramic pot to boil them! The herbs did the trick and a week later I was all better.
Lana has extensive knowledge of foods and their properties, and her recommendations have helped me balance my digestion, my energy, and my hormones. My mom sees Lana and loves her too! I would highly recommend her

I've been seeing Lana for the past 7 years and highly recommend her. Lana is the only one who has been able to get rid of my eczema. Her herbal remedies are just what I need when I get a flare-up. She always takes the time to talk to you about what's going on in your body and uses acupuncture, cupping, and more to treat whatever ails you.

I've had a chronic lower back problem for over 15 years so I naturally thought I would just have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I received numerous treatments from physical therapists, chiropractors, and a number of acupuncturist throughout the years. Worst of it all, I am one those type that usually don't like taking pills (pharmaceutical stuff) but to avoid being in excruciating pain while working, I have been taking Gabapentin for the past 12 years as needed practically on a daily basis aside from the days I am off from work. That is until I reached out to AUDREY. Long

I had a great acupuncturist in Berkeley and was reluctant to switch, but when my 10 year old daughter started suffering from anxiety attacks, I was forced to find some place closer to where we live, so I tried Lana. I have NEVER experienced a more talented herbalist than Lana. My former acupuncturist was good, but had been giving my daughter a stock herbal remedy which pretty much worked, but not always....and treatments had to be frequent. Lana's formula was made specifically for my daughter and on the spot: when we started to use it, it was miraculously as if her anxiety had been erased

Lana is an amazing healer. She has helped not only me but my family. I started to bring my son to her at age 2 for colds and he loved every minute of his session with her. From acupuncture to cupping. She is so loving with him and he talks about her all the time. My husband also sees Lana to relax and enjoys his sessions with her. I see Lana about 1x/week and we work on whatever issues I have going on at that moment. Her knowledge and education is amazing. She truly loves what she does and it comes through her work. I highly recommend Lana. She is gentle and warm. I have recommended her to many

If you want results for your health issues, go to Lana. My family members have all worked with Lana for ten years. She initially helped me lower my cholesterol levels and increase my energy. Recently she has helped me with menopausal issues. It is such a joy to be sleeping through the night again! I feel great and have the energy to live my full life, thanks to Lana. Being Lana's patient is worth every penny.

My friend recommended Lana (who was originally recommended from the Lamorinda Mom's group) and she changed by life! My first visit started with the most comprehensive medical history review/analysis I have ever had. We spent an hour focusing on not only my past physical ailments but also discussing mental health & well being. Lana is extremely knowledgeable and had several suggestions to improve my state of mind and general well being.
Each visit we discuss the key area that is troubling me (e.g. my shoulder pain, general stress, sore throat, or if I just need to relax, etc) and Lana
