Acupuncture By Homa

Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM) encompasses acupuncture, cupping, acupressure, herbology, nutrition and exercises such as Tai Chi and Qigong. Over 5000 years old, TOM enables the body’s own natural healing ability to repair, regenerate and restore health, both physically and emotionally. Acupuncture promotes circulation and reduces inflammation. It modulates the immune function, regulates hormones and stimulates the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphin to relieve pain, and serotonin affecting mood, appetite, digestion, sleep, memory and sexual functions.

Homa is a California State Board licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, and a Diplomate of Acupuncture certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Graduating Magna Cum Laude from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, she specializes in pain management, adrenal (chronic) fatigue, internal medicine and emotional disorders.

As part of her clinical training, Homa has practiced in an integrative medicine program at the Venice Family Clinic, where pain management of the under-served population group was the primary focus. She has received additional training in Taiji Rejuvenation Qigong from the Medical Qigong Training Base in China. With extensive experience treating patients at Exhale Mind Body Spa, in Santa Monica, CA; and at sea on the Holland America Line, Homa established her private practice in the South Bay in 2013.

Prior to becoming a Traditional Oriental Medicine practitioner, Homa worked on multi-billion dollar satellite communications projects for the US Military as an engineer. In 2004, she proceeded to trade in a successful career in engineering to pursue her calling in the world of healing arts.
