Pamela has lived in Orange County for 35 years where she began her career as a nurse specializing in gynecology and oncology. With many years of conventional medical experience, Pamela brings a unique strength to her practice of Functional and Chinese medicine in that she is able to integrate these various medical disciplines to assure a comprehensive approach for her patients.

Pamela made the decision to return to school to learn Traditional Chinese Medicine after battling a difficult illness that was unresponsive to Western medical treatment. Upon the advice of a friend, Pamela visited a naturopath and was quickly cured using nutrition, acupuncture and herbal therapy. Her recovery was so remarkable that she was compelled to return to school to learn how she could combine Functional and Chinese medicine with her conventional medical experience to help those with difficult health challenges regain their health and vitality.

Today Pamela is board certified by the Metabolic Medical Institute (ABAAHP) to practice functional medicine and licensed to practice acupuncture and herbal medicine by the state of California (LAc). She is also a diplomat of the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She attended a rigorous four year training program at the prestigious Pacific College of Oriental Medicine-San Diego campus where she graduated among the top in her class. Additionally, she has continued her education in the field of Functional Medicine, a branch of conventional medicine that utilizes laboratory testing and other modalities to identify developing conditions before they become disease. After a comprehensive 3 year training program through Metabolic Medical Institute which is vetted through George Washington and Stanford Universities, she was awarded a board certification in the practice of Functional medicine. Her education in all disciplines is ongoing which allows her to take advantage of the latest advances in all areas of healthcare.

Pamela treats a wide variety of health issues but has a particular interest in complex medical cases, autoimmune disease and cancer recovery.
