Bio
I was called to study Asian medicine in the 90's while working my way up the corporate ladder. Compelled to master the arts of a healer, I began to formally study Traditional Chinese medicine in CA, where I have obtained both Masters and Doctorate degrees.
I have worked in medical spas and alternative medical clinics in Southern CA since 2005. I am a member of AAAOM, Acupuncturists Without Borders, and the NAPW where I was recently honored with the Woman of the Year award for professional achievement.
I currently have 2 practices in Azusa and La Verne, CA.

Dr Hensley
Now in the year of 2017, many affluent and educated Americans have tried some form of Chinese medicine. This group of Americans only represent a small part of the population. When speaking of acupuncture in particular, most Americans will say they hate needles and immediately close themselves off to the possibility of ever trying it, no matter how effective it may be for them. More and more studies are showing that acupuncture, herbal medicine, tai qi, qi gong, regular massage and eating whole foods are the best way to achieve a healthy, longer life. The challenge is convincing the other 98% of Americans who have not tried this natural alternative to let go of their fears and apprehension and give it a shot. I am learning that one way to do this is by introducing Chinese medicine as a whole and not just acupuncture.
When you think of Chinese medicine, just think the word BREATHE, which is what you'll be able to do easier after the treatment. BREATHE is an acronym for many components of Chinese medicine without getting too redundant.
B- Bodywork - Massage, Tuina, Cupping, Gua Sha, etc
R- Review the ROOT cause of the symptoms
E- Eating or Nutrition including supplements and vitamins
A- Acupuncture, E-stim or TENS, laser acupuncture
T- Tai Qi - learning this martial art has unlimited value and health benefits
H- Herbal medicine including single herbs as well as formulas - Chinese and herbs from around the world
E- Exercise - Qi Gong or whatever exercise the patient will comply with. Qi gong is the easiest and doesn't require extra space or equipment.
By introducing the medicine as a whole, the patient can choose other modalities than acupuncture until he/she feels more comfortable and courageous to try it. Once the patient likes and trusts the practitioner, they will be more likely to try new therapies and comply with the treatment.
