DORIAN LAM L.AC, DIPLOMATE OF ORIENTAL MEDICINE, CMT

I am a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, functional medicine practitioner, and certified massage therapist.

I integrate acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, natural supplements, dietary counseling, cupping, gua sha, massage, abdominal therapy, guided breathwork, and functional medicine to optimize health, restore balance, and prevent illness.

My practice is built on a holistic, trauma-informed, natural, and integrative perspective. I’m a general practitioner with a focus on women’s health (reproductive, hormone, and fertility support), digestive disorders, anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, sports recovery, and pain management.

I believe self-healing can only take place in a safe space where we can begin to release the rooted trauma and emotions that led to physical illnesses in the body.

Dr. Dorian is a true healer. I came to see Dr. Dorian for a plethora of health issues. I have been having serious issues with my stomach, I was suffering from acid reflux/ Gerd. I have also been struggling with severe anxiety. After my first treatment, I felt instant relief in my stomach. I have now been able to stop taking prescription pills for the Gerd which I am so happy about, as the prescription drugs have some serious long term side effects.

I always knew that I would benefit from acupuncture and cupping, but I had no idea it would literally help cure my issues. Dr. Dorian also gave me some natural herbs which I take daily and these herbs are helping me heal internally. I also feel great after my sessions with Dr. Dorian, I feel a wonderful, blissful feeling of relaxation and inner peace. I am so grateful and I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Dorian.

After experiencing a traumatic emergency c-section I reached out to Dorian for both an acupuncture treatment and postpartum abdominal massage knowing she specializes in women's health and trauma. She combined acupuncture, massage, and moxibustion for a wonderful treatment. After my body was able to release things it had been holding on both a physical and emotional level during my pregnancy and birth experience.

After the treatment, I had less shoulder and lower back pain increased energy, and an overall sense of calm after. I highly recommend seeing Dorian Lam during your pregnancy and for postpartum treatment. Dorian is a compassionate talented healer that goes above and beyond for her patients.

Dorian created such a safe space for me and my womb. As a female hoping to conceive in 2020 I was super excited and looking forward to having an abdominal massage. Dorian calmed all my unknowns with a super healing touch. It was such a special moment in time.

I was tearful, vulnerable, and safe from so much emotion and tension we hold in our abdomen that we don’t even know we are holding. It didn’t hurt, it felt like a release. As I had my eyes closed and was connecting and trying to breathe she guided my treatment by asking me to connect with my womb, breathe into my womb and speak to my womb.

What a beautiful moment in time. After a glorious treatment that included some shoulder, neck, back massage she taught me how to massage and connect with my womb when I am at home. I can’t explain the sense of peace, connection, and safety I felt as Dorian gently acknowledged my journey through her healing hands.

So different from other modalities such as acupuncture, meditation, and regular massages. It holistically combines all of these teachings in a unique way that felt like a celebration of womanhood.

I hope to conceive this month with the help of my release of stagnant energy. I hope my new connection to my womb creates a beautiful journey for my future mini humans to grow in. If it’s not my time to conceive this month, then I look forward to continuing my fertility journey with Dorian's abdominal treatments. I also know she has some phenomenal treatments for postpartum.

Grateful our paths crossed. Worth every dollar.

Dorian’s Acupuncture is powerful! I’ve seen her twice now and each time I have felt a very strong physical and spiritual healing. More recently I asked for treatment for my sleep issues and lethargy I have from persistent depression and anxiety. The moment I received the needling, I could feel my whole body and mood soften up and relax and I slept like a baby for the next few nights. I definitely felt that my energy was much more grounded after our sessions and would like to continue to see her more regularly.

She is a practitioner that I can trust and is trauma informed. Her thoroughness during the intake process really let me know that she genuinely wants to assist her clients in healing and is very dedicated to the process.

For almost a year I have had digestive problems and been very lethargic. I had seen several medical doctors who were of no help. 

Then I saw Dorian. I received an acupuncture treatment, and advise dietary and food prep changes that I needed to make. It has only been a week, and I feel like a new person. I have no more pain, lots of energy, and am finally comfortable in my body again. I am amazed that I am healing so quickly. I have even lost a few pounds!

Dorian took the time to explain why the changes I needed to make would be helpful. This made it so much easier to take control of my own health and feel empowered instead of helpless. I am so grateful for her expertise and wisdom.

I highly recommend Dorian! My hands had been giving me issues from too much gardening/landscaping and drumming so I asked her to take a look. She did a combo of soft tissue manipulation, surface needles, and some deeper myofascial trigger point work. I gotta say the last part was intense... it felt like the muscles were being flossed from the inside.

I’m fairly experienced with massage but this pinpointed the knots like nothing I’ve ever felt; in the middle of my bony hands no less. She also did gua sha on my arms and back, and some cupping on my back.

Now it’s the next day and I feel pretty good. My hands and arms feel more relaxed, and I almost feel like I’m better able to feel when I’m holding stress in them, and to let it go. It feels like I went to a sort of muscle dentist. I’m excited to see what Dorian will do in the next few sessions!

Dorian is one of the most talented, trauma-sensitive healers I’ve encountered. As someone with layers and layers of physical trauma, I’m extremely careful with my body. I don’t let just anyone work with me, and I’m highly sensitive to the energy of the practitioner as well.

Dorian works from a place of compassion, knowledge, and gentleness. Her understanding of the body and its energetic needs is always expanding, and her intuitive knowing of what I need makes me feel seen, supported, and cared for. She has this ability to always approach my areas of greatest sensitivity, where I hold fear and trauma in the muscles and emotional field, with total care, respect, and communication.

I can only relax to get any type of body work when I have great trust and safety. She holds a deep space for this, and I’ve become more in tune with my body’s needs and messages through our work together. Working with Dorian will take your wellness, self-care, and self-understanding to a new level!
