Dr. Dawna Ara, DACM, L.Ac Dr. Ara is a doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine and a Certified Functional Medicine Clinician. Welcome to my world!

Hi, I'm Dawna and I am an acupuncturist, herbalist, nutritionist, and functional medicine practitioner in the Los Angeles area. I've dedicated my life's work to helping people overcome their most complicated health challenges. In my practice I teach the importance of a good diet that is perfect for you and only YOU regardless of nutritional dogma and food politics. I also emphasize that there is v

alue in high quality nutritional supplements, getting out and breathing fresh air, drinking pure water, getting daily exercise, cultivating a yoga or meditation practice, and spending more time with your loved ones. I believe perfect health is unique to you and with just a little guidance you can enjoy a happy & meaningful life free of aches and pains while spending less time in doctor offices. I believe that healthcare should be affordable, easily accessible, uncomplicated, and put back into the hands of the patients and their healthcare practitioners, rather than the wealthy insurance and pharmaceutical companies who currently dominate the health care system.
