Meet Dr. Nyla

Nyla completed her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine from Southern California University of Health Sciences, graduating summa cum laude with an emphasis on healthy aging, women’s health, internal medicine, and a laser-sharp focus on herbal medicine. Her clinical background includes pediatric care at the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) and specialized experience in sports medicine, providing a well-rounded foundation for treating patients of all ages and activity levels.

Her experience stretches beyond the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). She is a traditionally initiated Bwiti Medicine woman and has spent the last 10 years studying indigenous Southeast Asian and West African systems of healing the mind, body, and soul. Through this work, she has come to deeply value the role our sense of purpose, satisfaction in life, connection to ourselves, our ancestors, and the natural world play in overall health and wellness. The harmony found in the crafts she has dedicated her life to studying allows her to offer a truly holistic approach to care.

Before she is a doctor or healer, she is a student—committed to deepening her understanding of her craft and discovering more impactful ways to serve her community. Her approach to care is grounded, steady, and rooted in mutual effort, evidence-based practice, and informed treatment. She takes the time to walk patients through each step, answer questions, and invite them into the healing process as much as they are willing to be involved.
