About Lydia
Since she was a young girl, Lydia has been fascinated by and dedicated to natural medicine. Growing up in Northern California, she began collecting and studying plants from her surrounding environment. What began as a childhood hobby developed into a profession.
She went on to study the sciences and women’s health at university and upon graduation, lived three years in China and in Japan. This only developed her passion for the ancient medicines of Asia and eventually led her to come back to San Francisco and pursue a four-year post graduate degree in Chinese medicine.
She has apprenticed with top fertility specialists in both the Chinese medicine field and In Vitro Fertilization.
She has volunteered her services to veterans and communities in need of free healthcare.
Her greatest honor is to be able to continue to care for individuals and families hoping to achieve their health goals, or just simply to feel better in their bodies and minds.
