Nice to meet you

I'm Leila Rachel, a student acupunturist studying at Yo San University in Southern California.

I was called to acupuncture to tap into the body's ability to heal itself when given the right tools and support.

The more I learn, the more I fall in love with the medicine and the foundation of treating the body and person as a whole, and not chasing symptoms but healing the root.

I'm very grateful to guide you on this journey and help you heal through the body remembering it's own wisdom.

I'm excited to be on this journey with you!

Services

Experience the art of acupuncture, a mix of modalities put together to restore you to your balance and promote healing.

Acupuncture

Experience this ancient medicine through unique meridian channel and elemental diagnostic methods. Acupuncture works to support both the root and the symptoms, treating not only the ailment itself, but the whole person. Treatments help restore balance within the body, supporting physical, emotional, and nervous system health through a personalized approach to healing.

Herbal Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses herbal medicine in conjunction with acupuncture to give your body the tools it needs to heal. Traditional formulas and personalized herbal combinations are thoughtfully crafted using Eastern herbs to support your healing journey.

Fire Cupping

Fire cupping is a Traditional Chinese Medicine modality used to bring circulation to a specific area, helping to move stuck blood and energy, release tension, and promote the body’s natural healing process. This therapy can support muscle recovery, pain relief, relaxation, and overall circulation within the body.

Tuina

Tui Na, loosely translated as Traditional Chinese Medicine medical massage, uses specific hands-on techniques in conjunction with meridian theory and acupressure to support healing within the body. Through specific movements and targeted pressure, Tui Na helps promote circulation, release tension, restore balance, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Qi Cultivation

Traditional Chinese Medicine is deeply rooted in qi cultivation practices, including Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and meditation techniques that help the body conserve, restore, move, and cultivate its own energy within it's system. These practices are combined with treatment to help harmonize you with your body, regulate the nervous system, and support the body’s natural healing process from within.

Nutritional Counseling

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the body receives its postnatal energy through the nourishment we take in from food. How we nourish the body is an essential part of the healing process. TCM offers a unique understanding of nutrition, recognizing how different foods support both your individual constitution and the specific organ systems within the body that may need balance and nourishment.

"I highly recommend Leila Balter at the Yo San Clinic. She is extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable.

From the moment I walked in, the space felt calm, clean, and welcoming. She took the time to really listen to my concerns and explained the process in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident.

The treatment itself was incredibly relaxing, and I noticed a real improvement afterward—both physically and mentally. I especially appreciated how attentive and knowledgeable she was throughout the session.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your well-being and provides a thoughtful, personalized approach, I highly recommend Leila. I’ll definitely be returning!"
