Schedule with Pomai

Acupuncture is a traditional healing practice rooted in Chinese medicine that involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points, often referred to as 'acupoints', are located along energy pathways known as 'meridians', which are believed to be channels through which the body's vital energy, or 'Qi' (pronounced "chee"), flows. The goal of acupuncture is to balance the flow of Qi and restore harmony within the body, which is thought to be essential for health.

  • "Pomai is an exceptional practitioner with an incredible depth of knowledge in Traditional Chinese Medicine. She goes above and beyond to understand each patient’s concerns to find the best treatment approach. Her expertise extends beyond acupuncture—she is equally skilled in herbal medicine and nutrition. Her recommendations are always intentional and supportive. I trust her expertise and would recommend her to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate care."

  • "Pomai is the most thorough TCM practitioner I have ever had the fortune of working with. With her help, I have learned so much about how to better take care of myself, and from a truly holistic standpoint. Since beginning my work with her, through her herbal prescriptions, and recommendations for diet and lifestyle-changes, my vitality has improved and chronic issues I had been dealing with for years have quelled significantly. My immunity and sleep have improved, and she has helped me develop a deep understanding of my menstrual cycle, emotional wellbeing, and so much more."

  • "I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation to Pomai and all her amazing time and care during my fertility journey. She took her time listening and taking into account all avenues of my health. We covered my stress levels, work life balance, and reviewed my labwork and supplements regularly. She worked with me to research additional supplements and herbal support that could be helpful. She was always available to answer questions or address any concerns. Pomai truly cares and knows about the medicine, which shows through to her patients. She is a blessing and I was grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her."

  • "My experience with Pomai has been life-changing and multidimensional. She is not only a decorated scholar of TCM, she holds care-giving as a core value in her life and community. She understands and values meeting patients where they’re at with the natural peaks and valleys of life. After a few days/weeks, she is thorough and thoughtful with her check-ins, and open to modifying the care-plan or the methods you're using to get you feeling balanced in your body and mind. I cannot recommend her enough--- inspiring, insightful and whip smart."
