Chrysten Cloud, LAc, MATCM, Dipl. O.M. (NCCAOM)®

Chrysten Cloud is a board-certified physician of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the state of California. She holds a Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Herbalism from Yo San University in Venice Beach California. Chrysten’s internships included the Wise and Healthy Aging Center in Santa Monica where she helped the elderly community with stroke recovery, pain and age-related diseases. She also interned for The Venice Family Pain Clinic where she worked with children and families dealing with chronic pain and disabilities.

Chrysten's path of healing began 15 years ago when she became a certified yoga instructor. Yoga helped her develop her intuition and discover her own healing abilities. Teaching yoga is what drew her to studying Eastern/holistic medicine. It provided a foundation for her grounded approach she brings into her practice and to her patients. After discovering yoga she later went on to Antioch for her undergrad where she received her bachelors in Liberal Arts.

Chrysten's desire to dive deeper into the the world of healing, with her dreams to create a space for people to feel relaxed and recover from stress and a busy lifestyle, grew with her years attending Yo San. Upon graduating she knew she needed to share her gifts and the things she had learned and discovered. She is the owner and practitioner of Cloud Forest Acupuncture and Holistic Healing in Atwater Village. She specializes in women's health, healthy aging, postpartum care, stress management and esoteric acupuncture. She has been practicing for over 7 years.

Chrysten is also licensed by the California acupuncture board and the NCCAOM.
