Vera Brink is licensed in both California and Oregon as well as certified by the National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Several years after earning a B.A. in Cultural anthropology with a double focus on the culture of music and food as medicine at the University of California, Santa Cruz, she earned her Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yo San University in her native Los Angeles, CA. While studying there, she managed to peel away from the books to volunteer at the Learning Garden in Venice Beach, which afforded her a closer look at the unique personalities of the Chinese herbs grown there. These powerful plants taught her about health through resonance with the dynamic balance of natural cycles. Utilizing herbs, dietary guidance, acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion, Vera acts as a vessel of transformation to support the innate wellness that dwells within everyone. She believes that each health challenge can be seen as a state that offers us opportunities to know and love ourselves more deeply, that a true state of health is one in which we not only hear our inner needs, but are also able to provide for ourselves in a loving way.

Vera would love to introduce you to your herbal allies and offer support along your path to a more fulfilling and harmonious life.
