About Me
Andrea Cabanayan is a California Board certified practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist and Clinical Herbalist. She received a bachelor’s of science in Biology from California State University, Long Beach with an emphasis in physiology, and a minor in Chemistry. It was here that she began to feed her curiosity about the inner workings of the human body. That curiosity soon transformed into a passion for natural medicine when she decided to attend Yosan University where she completed a Masters of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Andrea expanded her clinical training by completing an externship at the Simms-Mann Health and Wellness Venice Family Clinic. It was here that she helped treat patients with a variety of conditions that included acute to chronic pain, insomnia, addiction and weight loss, and neurosomatic conditions such as stress, anxiety and depression. In addition, Andrea also provided treatments at Being Alive, a non-profit organization dedicated to serving individuals in the Los Angeles area living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
​
Andrea went on to receive additional specialized training from the Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center in Beijing, China in the fields of internal medicine, orthopedics and dermatology at some of Beijing’s busiest hospitals and acupuncture clinics.
