For over 2,000 years, Acupuncture has been used as a method to encourage the body's ability to heal itself. During an Acupuncture treatment at our office you will experience the use of sterile, single-use, hair thin needles inserted in specific point locations with the intention of improving circulation, restoring balance, alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and promoting relaxation. We use different styles depending on your needs. Traditional Chinese Style of Acupuncture uses points to elicit a sensation of "de qi" known as the excitation of vital energy within our body. This sensation often feels like energy within the body is moving, dispersing, or expanding. Japanese Style is used as a very light and painless style of Acupuncture. For people with specific orthopedic issues, Orthopedic Style is used to target specific motor points to reset and activate the muscles. Tui Na Massage is incorporated in our Acupuncture treatments which uses pressing, rolling, and kneading along one of the body's acupuncture meridians to further move the knots and stagnation. There are 20 major meridian pathways with hundreds of Acupuncture points situated along them which all have their own actions and indications for healing. Symptom relief is often immediate, but several treatments may be needed depending on lifestyle and if the condition is acute or chronic. As a patient's symptoms improve, visits are spaced further apart until their desired results are achieved. Chronic or severe medical conditions will require more frequent treatments and may take longer to resolve. Many patients choose to maintain their wellness with monthly treatments.

Chinese Medicine incorporates diet, lifestyle, and herbal recommendations specific to your unique symptoms and diagnosis. This is incorporated within acupuncture visits or can be done on its own virtual or in person if one does not prefer acupuncture.

During your Naturopathic appointment, your Naturopathic Practitioner will listen to your concerns and do a focused assessment that includes taking a health history, reviewing and/or ordering any necessary laboratory testing, and performing relevant physical exams. Clearly establishing your health-related goals is most important. Your practitioner will explain some initial options, answer your questions and begin to formulate your treatment plan with your input and using the information you provide.

Naturopathy is an integrated method that emphasizes the body's intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself. It may combine a variety of natural therapies, including herbs, nutrition, detoxification, and lifestyle counseling to support and enhance health.

Naturopathic practitioners focus on treating the whole person, considering physical, emotional, and environmental factors, and aim to address the root causes of illness rather than just alleviating symptoms.

Lynda Carter LAc

Lynda Carter, LAc, is a Licensed Acupuncturist who earned a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Health Science in 2015. She practices Traditional Chinese Medicine, Japanese Meridian Therapy, and the Balance Method developed by Dr. Richard Tan. Lynda particularly favors Japanese Meridian Therapy for its gentle, classical techniques.

Lynda has extensive experience in treating women’s health at every stage of life, including fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care, perimenopause, and menopause. She also provides comprehensive care for families, including children and infants. Additionally, Lynda specializes in pain management, digestive health, and emotional well-being. She approaches healing holistically, considering the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Her treatments may integrate lifestyle medicine and nutrition, with a focus on whole-food, plant-based diets. As part of her treatment plans, she may also prescribe traditional Chinese herbal formulas and natural supplements when appropriate.

Lynda’s passion for natural health began decades ago. Growing up on a farm in South Africa, surrounded by a variety of animals, especially horses, she often assisted her mother in caring for them and troubleshooting their health concerns. A pivotal moment in her life occurred when a close friend passed away from cystic fibrosis, motivating Lynda to explore natural healing methods and deepen her understanding of health to better support her loved ones.

An avid gardener, Lynda loves growing herbs and continuously studies health, psychology, and spirituality to expand her knowledge. She holds certifications in Bach Flower Remedies, Western Herbalism, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, and Ayurveda. After relocating to the United States in 2004 with her husband and three children, Lynda embraced the opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming a healthcare practitioner and obtaining a professional degree in natural medicine. Grateful for the opportunity to study and practice this ancient healing art, Lynda remains deeply committed to her work as a healer.

Lynda and her husband of thirty years manage an organic farm in Escondido, where they grow vegetables, herbs, and flowers. They also care for a horse, four cows, and three dogs. Both are devoted practitioners of yoga and meditation. Lynda views her work as a healer and farmer as the ultimate expression of a balanced and fulfilling life.
