Dr. Mike Adams
Mike is a licensed acupuncturist, originally from the East Coast, who now lives and works in the Orange Country and Long Beach region. He graduated and received a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture from Yo San University in Los Angeles, California. Additionally, he had spent time studying at the Beijing China International Acupuncture Training Center earning himself an Advanced Acupuncture and Moxibustion certification.
As most of his life has been spent passionately pursuing an active lifestyle, he naturally has gravitated towards focusing on orthopedic and sports-related injuries but also specializes in dermatology and cosmetic treatments, postoperative management, and strengthening the immune system. Mike’s style combines the best of Eastern medicine and Western medical research, utilizing the subtle energetics of acupuncture and time-tested results from herbal formulas. Each patient is addressed as a whole system, treating the symptom of concern, but also focusing on the underlying antagonistic pattern by providing individualized treatments.

Dr. Nathalie Galvez DACM LAc
Hi, I’m Dr. Nathalie Galvez, DACM. I’m a licensed acupuncturist practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine with a passion for empowering patients to take an active role in their own health. I’m proud of my Salvadoran heritage and I speak both Spanish and English, which allows me to connect with a diverse community and provide culturally attuned care.
I specialize in women’s health, supporting people with conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility. I earned my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences and I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. This background helps me integrate mental and emotional well-being into my treatments, because I believe that true healing addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
I love educating my patients so they can understand their bodies and make empowered choices about their health. My approach combines acupuncture, lifestyle guidance, and mindful practices, all tailored to the individual needs of each person I see.
Outside of work, I’m a bit of a Libra who loves balance—whether it’s baking homemade bread, listening to K-pop, or cultivating mindfulness in my daily life. My personal mantra is, “You cannot give what you do not have.” I prioritize self-care and personal growth so I can bring my fullest presence and energy to every patient interaction. I feel honored to create a safe, nurturing space where patients can restore balance, find relief, and feel empowered on their wellness journey.

Dr Erika K Shaw DACM Lac
Dr. Erika K Shaw is a California board-certified Licensed Acupuncturist and a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. She received her Doctorate from Pacific College of Health & Science (formerly known as Pacific College of Oriental Medicine) and specializes in treating orthopedic disorders and sports injuries.
As a lifelong athlete, Erika jokes that if she hasn’t personally had the injury, at least one of her teammates has. From track-and-field, ballroom dance, cross country, swimming, volleyball, and wrestling to 16 years of soccer—including at the collegiate level, Erika is very well-versed in the physical and mental strain that sports and exercise can have on an athlete. It was actually a high school soccer injury of a dislocated rib that set Erika on her path to becoming an acupuncturist.
Since 2017 as a massage therapist, Erika has cultivated her knowledge and understanding of the human anatomy as well as the healing modalities required to not only reduce pain, but to optimize the body’s functionality. In the clinic, Erika combines her expertise of massage therapy with acupuncture in order to reach optimal results for her patients. As Erika likes to say, “It’s like 1+1=3 when you combine acupuncture and massage” and makes sure to include bodywork in every session dealing with a primary orthopedic complaint. She completed her off-site shifts at USCD’s RIMAC where she treated an array of college athletes with a myriad of sports-related injuries. Although orthopedic disorders are her passion, she also has experience with psycho-emotional disorders such as stress and anxiety, autoimmune (and/or autoimmune-presenting) disorders such as Sjogren’s, polymyalgia rheumatica, hidradenitits suppurativa (HS), as well as gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS, constipation, stomach ulcers, etc..
In her free time, Erika enjoys training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, listening to K-pop, and spending time with her twin sister, husband, and adorable baby!
