I've lived with a permanent ankle injury that's affected my posture, knees, and balance for years. A trusted friend recommended Kristen, and although I was skeptical after mixed experiences with acupuncture, I'm so glad I went. Her knowledge and whole-body approach made an immediate difference. My balance has improved, my knees feel better, and I'm moving with more ease. She's also supported my metabolic health--I've lost 10 pounds in just two months! Kristen is the real deal. She heals the whole body and mind and delivers real results. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Lum Acupuncture - Acupuncture Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've seen several acupuncturists over the years--including one very well-known practitioner in Santa Monica--but Kristen Lum offers something truly unique. Her approach is unlike anything I've experienced before. I initially visited her for persistent ankle pain that had been bothering me for months. Kristen took a truly holistic approach--carefully assessing everything from how I stand to how I walk--and immediately understood how to address the root of the issue. Through a combination of acupuncture, cupping, and other complementary techniques, she significantly reduced my pain in just one session. As someone who walks a lot, I had resigned myself to living with this discomfort. But thanks to Kristen, I realized that healing was not only possible--it could be immediate. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Kristen. She's incredibly attentive, kind, gentle, and so knowledgeable about all aspects of acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and holistic wellness. Every single session has been such an amazing experience. Her treatment space is peaceful and grounding - I always left feeling calm, relaxed, and completely rejuvenated. Beyond the physical benefits, Kristen has helped me work through some persistent health issues and shift how I approach nutrition, self-care, and fueling my body. She really takes the time to listen, tailor treatments to your specific needs, and create an experience that feels supportive and deeply healing. You can tell how much she genuinely cares about her clients and their overall wellbeing. I look forward to every session with her - it became such a highlight of my week. I'm so grateful for her guidance and the care she brings to her work. If you're considering acupuncture (or facial acupuncture, which I highly recommend), Kristen is absolutely worth it. She is truly one of a kind. read more

I was feeling like I was about to get a nasty cold a few months ago, as my kids had been sick and I was starting to get a sore throat and extreme exhaustion. Kristen Lum actually was able to make a house call for me, and did both acupuncture and cupping procedures in the comfort of my own home. I honestly couldn't believe it - once she was finished, I sat up and realized that I felt COMPLETELY better! I never ended up getting sick, and I was able to continue on with my busy weekend with more energy than ever! She also placed ear seeds for me, to help with various other issues I was having, and that was a success as well. I will not hesitate to have her treat me again - she is very knowledgeable and has a fantastic bedside manner. Thank you, Kristen, for being so good at what you do!!! read more

I have been Kristen's patient for over 5 years and I cannot express how invaluable she has been in my overall well being. My digestive system was severely harmed by prescribed medications. When I eventually sought help, doctors treated me with powerful antibiotics that just made matters worse. I had all but given up on ever repairing my gut until Kristen did what I never thought would be possible - she healed me! More recently I was suffering with painful tennis elbow that was affecting my ability to exercise. I tried laser therapy and chiropractic care which only temporarily alleviated the symptoms. I finally came back to Kristen and after a few sessions I am once again healed! I am back to exercising regularly with no more pain. I will never again underestimate the power of acupuncture, but more importantly, at the hands of the right caregiver. There are many acupuncturists out there, but none come close to Kristen. I'm a living testament to her healing gift. She's the real deal! read more

My overall happiness has been a subconscious yearning that's been suppressed for years. I can't wait for my next appointment and I can't wait to discover where else I can impro read more

Kristen Lum is a healer. I originally came to her with intense, reoccurring back pain from an injury I sustained in 2018. Every other year I'll tweak it in some regard and find myself back in Physical Therapy but this last time, physical therapy alone was not enough. Kristen met with me for almost two hours during our first visit. She's intentional about learning about me and I felt like she cared about me as her patient. After the first session with Kristen, I felt relief. The back pain migrated from my L4 and down to my glute, which was way less intense, way more manageable, and easier to treat in conjunction with physical therapy and acupuncture. I would recommend Kristen to anyone who's seeking more balance in their life as well as people who are dealing with pain. She's truly a healer. read more

Kristen is the best! A great listener, very intuitive always feel better after every session. read more

Dr. Lum is an amazing Acupuncturist!!!! Prior to her treatment, I was receiving Chiropractor care for over 2 years...only to have temporary relief..if any! Doctors were recommending Cortizone shots without knowing if they would help me. I didn't like the sound of it and believed in a more natural way of healing. Within 2 treatments with Dr. Lum my pain level had cut down to half! Within 4 treatments my pain level was almost at ZERO! By the the 5th treatment completely gone!!!! I share this because I don't think anyone should live in pain and I'm amazed and ALL the different ways Acupuncture can help! Dr. Lum has such a passioniate heart, helping people to live healthy and pain free. She is extremely knowledgeable and through in her work. She is absolutely worth seeing!!!! read more

Kristen is an acupuncturist practicing Classical acupuncture that makes use of all 68 acupuncture channels. For some years, I learned that most acupuncture practiced in the US was a poor replica of the original acupuncture practiced in villages in China prior to the Cultural revolution. I made an effort to search out acupuncture similar to the original. As a result, I researched the practice of acupuncture from Taiwan, from Korea, and from Japan. However, I was disappointed with the results I got from acupuncturists I worked with using Japanese methods. Eventually, I found Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, that, I found helpful, especially from an emotional-spiritual perspective, but I found it lacking with respect to physical health. A few months ago, I read some blogs by Ann Cecil-Sterman, a New York based acupuncturist who practices Classical acupuncture. I was amazed by some of the stories of physical healing. I found out that Kristen Lum practices in a similar fashion, and is based here in Southern California. My first session with her was eye-opening. I had been to my Five-Element acupuncturist the day before, but when Kristen felt my pulses, she told me "You have a block! It is physical, and I have to deal with this before I can use any of the Complement channels". She then proceeded to physically examine my whole body, something I had not experienced with earlier acupuncturists. On my legs, she saw the rash that was the reason for the block. She then treated the rash as she would treat any scar. Acupuncturists can treat scars! I am always learning new things! She found a "barrier to cure" that my other very experienced acupuncturist had missed, not just the day before, it was a barrier that had been there for years. Kristen is not only a skilled acupuncturist, but she appears to genuinely care, and also provides advice on diet and gut microbiome health. It has now been four months since I begun my work with Kristen, and my health has improved as a result of her treatments. There is more work to be done, but I am very grateful that she is my acupuncturist. read more

Kristen is top top top! She healed me a chronic condition and saved me from taking antibiotics. She is very caring and very committed to her clients. I highly recommend her. read more

I was sad when I moved away and had to take a mini break from seeing Kristen. Luckily, her schedule is accommodating that we have figured out a way to make it work with my schedule and commute! I was super nervous and scared about the need to remove my gallbladder. She gave me the hope and treatments I needed to heal me and stuck with me through the process. I'm happy to say I'm pain free and back to my old self. Now, I can continue to work on treatments that will help me in the next exciting stage of my life. Search no more, Kristen is Absolutely amazing and genuine at what she does!!! read more

I was very unhappy here. I felt strong-armed about returning over something she warned me about and was concerned about. It turned out to be nothing more than something one massage took care of. I also had a friend who she treated for over a year who had serious health problems she did not help with and ultimately, it turned out she should have recommended him to a doctor. read more

Dr. Lum is the best acupuncturist and herbal medicine doctor I have been to. I have been to at least five. She makes you feel comfortable and honestly wants you to heal from within. During one visit, I failed to mention a problem I was having and she was able to pinpoint it just by reading my vitals, etc. if you are having any issues, I highly recommend Dr. Lum in a heartbeat! read more

Kristen is great. At first I thought acupuncture is a little pricey, but it's worth every penny if you have any server pain in your body. I call Kristen the fix-it doctor because she fixed me. I use to have high blood pressure, pain in my body, restless sleep, headaches, emotional stress, and so many other things, just to name a few. I was so happy to take a leap of faith and do holistic approach, which was the best decision I made thus far. I've been going to Kristen for 4 months and I'm so glad I found her to help me get my life back. Kristen gave me a plan that is specific to my needs on what to eat as well and I lost over 12lbs. If you're honest with her in what you need or want for your body, she really knows how to help. Kristen is the best and I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I've been seeing Kristen since the end of September. In just a few sessions she was able to help me so much with my back pain. She's so sweet and very knowledgeable. I know that every time I see her, I'm going to leave feeling better and I'm that much closer to being completely recovered. I'm a firm believer of acupuncture now thanks to her. read more

Kristen is my healer in so many ways! I started seeing Kristen in May and I have felt a huge sense of relief and guidance through her practice. Going consistently, I can feel my mind and body healing and it's such a gift. Also, her recommendation for herbs are always on point. I use to have bad period cramps - and for the last two months I've been pain free. Thankful for Kristen, she's a crucial part of my healing. Laticia read more

Dr. Lum is honest, kind, caring and truly an exceptional healer. She's guided me into a new diet, what I should add and remove to improve my health issue. I was diagnosed with a uterine fibroid and a western doctor recommended a hysterectomy (the fibroid is big, makes me look like I'm pregnant) One month later... with the new diet, acupuncture treatments and the Chinese herbs I've been able to see a change in my body and feel the fibroid shrinking. Dr.Lum is attentive during the treatment, doesn't dismiss your complaints and always checks on you to make sure your body is reacting well to the treatment. She lets you know what she's working on for you as she's inserting needles and explains how it will improve your condition. Bonus: Scheduling an appointment has been a breeze, which is great for my busy schedule. read more

I just had my first consultation and acupuncture session and I am feeling great! I really appreciate the in depth health questionnaire that includes family members health histories. My 2 hour visit included an in depth interview and was followed by pain less acupuncture session. Dr. Lum has a genuine warm and caring nature. I am so happy to have found such a kind and knowledgable health practitioner in Granada Hills. Conveniently located with my favorite yoga studio, Prema Yoga. read more

Dr. Kristen She's an amazing person. I'm glad I came across a very professional healer, she truly listened attentively. Thank you Kristen! I will definitely highly recommend her. read more

I want to thank Kristen for helping me identify and heal my gut issues. Taking cues from my symptoms, she recommended a gut microbiome test. I don't think either of us were expecting the results I received, as I'm generally a healthy person and follow a relatively strict anti-inflammatory diet, but let's just say it wasn't ideal. Kristen very thoroughly went through the results and we discussed changes that I could make in lifestyle and diet to address specific bacteria I was entirely missing. She put me on a very high-quality supplemental probiotic protocol which was easy to follow. After just a few weeks I noticed much better/consistent digestion, but it was four months later that my (dreaded) severe spring allergies just didn't show up like they normally do. They were so mild, I barely noticed! My skin began looking better and my digestion was/is on-track. I've completed the protocol and now have to be attentive to Kristen's dietary recommendations to keep my bacteria happy : ) I look forward to taking another test this fall to compare results. Kristen knows her stuff. And, for those reading who may not be aware, someone trained in Classical Chinese Medicine/Acupuncture receives a lot more in depth education than Traditional Chinese Medicine. read more

I had pain on my tailbone for almost a year. I went from an ER doctor, to my internal med.doctor, to a chiropractor, to my gynecologist, to a colon specialist and to a masseuse. All of my labs, xray and a full MRI was negative and normal. No swelling, no fluid and no cyst or tumor. It was hard to get out of the car or a chair. I had 3 donut pillows for my car, for home, and for my desk at work that I would sit on for tempory relief. Doctors gave me prescribed pain relievers to take that I did not want to depend on. My co-worker sugggested acupuncture. I was desperate and saw Dr.Lum She is my miracle doctor!! She is the BEST!!!My first acupuncture visit with her cured all my pain from tailbone. It just went away and I have been painless eversince. She is my go to doctor for anything amd forever!! read more

After suffering from several health issues, and all test pointing to normal levels, I sought out to find holistic healing. I found Dr. Lum on yelp along with other local listings. After reviewing most of the profiles, I felt Dr. Lum had the knowledge, experience and training that matched my interest. I was hopeful she would be able to help relieve some of my current ailments. The treatment I received from Dr. Lum was more attentive than anticipated. She is extremely professional, by no means did I ever feel rushed or forced to treat ailments which did not exist. She provides an in-depth interview of your health and along the treatment takes time to discuss details of progress to help build upon treatments that work best for you. Dr. Lum provides such excellent personal attention that I am thankful to have found her. I definitely recommend Dr. Lum to anyone with an open mind, seeking holistic healing, and willing to take time to improve their health, even if its just a small change at a time. read more

Beside fixing my night sweats and insomnia with herbs, Dr. Lum has resolved my chronic hip pain! I used to NOT be able to sit for longer then 15 minutes or be able to get out of the car without extreme pain from my right hip. The worst was when I could no longer go on my daily 3-mile walks. Heavy meds and/or an epidural were what was left for me. I am so relieved that I decided to try acupuncture and that I found Dr. Lum. It's been a process and I am so grateful! She is a great listener and very intuitive. I highly recommend her for whatever ails you. read more

Kristen may be a classical acupuncturist by vocation, but in actuality she is a brilliant healer and miracle worker. I first started seeing her in February after suffering post-operative issues from an emergency stomach surgery. Once she regulated all lingering discomfort, she began to address other chronic ailments (that she identified in my pulse) including persistent pain from scoliosis and a car accident, digestion, chronic fatigue, migraines, and mental health issues. While I am a tremendous advocate for therapy, she did what my doctors cannot - physically release the trauma, anxiety, and depression that get stored in the body to promote true healing. She has also served as a nutritionist, and by cutting out specific foods I've eaten my whole life I can say I've never felt better or healthier. My life is forever changed thanks to Kristen, and I trust her wholeheartedly with my body, mind, and spirit. read more

Dr. Lum is gentle and intuitive. She really took the time to listen to me. She has a superb knowledge of nutrition, and she is very skilled at creating custom herbal formulas. Her acupuncture and herbs helped me so much and she could figure out the right treatment for me right away (I have had Acupuncture before and lost a lot of time with someone less skilled) She is very patient and is now treating my husband as well. read more

My son has been going to Kristen since September 2018; After refusing to take medication for some health issues we decided to give acupuncture and herbal medicine a try and we are very happy we did. Kristen is very attentive and has the ability to not only treat teens but to also talk to them at their level and she is a great listener as well. I appreciate her walking us through all the treatments and explaining everything along the way. She has helped him with his back pain, acne and other health issues. I would highly recommend Kristen for any health issues you might be having, she is friendly and highly knowledgeable in her field and she makes you feel at ease with all the needles. read more

Dr. Kristin Lum is AMAZING! She practices classical acupuncture which goes much deeper than regular acupuncture, which is exactly what I needed to move me forward from all the built-up pain I had accumulated over the years. She listens intently, not only with her professional ear, but also with her whole heart to pinpoint the exact treatment necessary to heal both the physical and emotional centers of pain. I love her and am so thankful for her healing care. read more

I suffer from a neurological disorder that causes chronic headaches. The limited treatment options available with Western medicine has definitely improved my quality of life to a point but working with Dr. Lum has taken that improvement so much further. Since I started acupuncture and cupping I feel healthier and I have far more headache free days than I've had in the past (nothing short of a miracle). It's also helping with my overall health and wellness. I had a session with her recently when I was under the weather and feeling pretty awful (not Covid- was tested and discussed with her for safety) and the next morning I woke up and felt like a million bucks all day. Acupuncture got rid of my ailment so quickly and now my goal is to feel like that every day. Dr. Lum is helping me get there between acupuncture treatments and herbs. If you are looking for an acupuncturist I highly recommend Kristen Lum. read more

I've been to a lot of western medical doctors, and nothing has worked for my chronic sinusitis. Dr. Lum prescribed me diet recommendations and gave me an herbal formula that helped significantly. During the initial consultation, she really took the time to understand the issue and get all the information she needed to provide the best treatment. Highly recommend her! read more

Kristen Lum is amazing. My daughter suffered from chronic knee pain and physical therapy, prescribed by her orthopedic dr didn't help. Kristen Lum was able to treat the pain and she is now (6 months later) still pain free. Lum is knowledgeable, caring and a miracle worker, as far as I'm concerned. read more
