Dhanell Azada earned her
Master’s degree in Oriental
Medicine from Samra
University in Los Angeles
where she interned at their
clinic for two years.
Dedicated to providing
natural alternatives to her
patients, Dhanell has
studied under some of the
leaders in her field.
Before graduating,
Dhanell completed an
externship program in
Beijing, China under the
tutelage of Dr. Xinnong, a
master acupuncturist and
chief editor of the
textbook, Chinese
Acupuncture and Moxibustion.
As part of her practice she
incorporates Nambudripad's
Allergy Elimination
Technique (NAET), a natural
approach that uses
alternative medicine to
permanently eliminate
allergies. Its creator, Devi
S. Nambudripad, MD, DC, PhD,
LAc, taught her the
technique.
By working with Dhanell, I
was able to achieve a strong
sense of well-being which
allowed me to successfully
work with the grief from
being newly widowed, achieve
the ability to sleep,
control chronic night
sweats, and in general to
feel balanced.”- Laurie-Ann

As a licensed acupuncturist
and Chinese herbologist,
Dhanell approaches her
patients with an open mind,
compassion and a
holistically integrative
perspective. She helps guide
each patient on his/her
personal journey to health
and prevention of disease.
"Each person is unique, so
treatments are tailored
using both herbal medicine
and acupuncture depending on
the patient’s individual
needs. My goal is to improve
the operation of the entire
organism.”
I had shoulder pain due to a
bone spur, for almost two
years. I had been treated
with cortisone injections
and physical therapy twice a
week for six months, without
any benefit.
I was lucky to find Dhanell
in the phone book. After a
thorough history I received
an acupuncture treatment.
One day after the first
treatment, my pain was
drastically reduced. I could
finally sleep and didn’t
need help dressing. I wish
my first step in treatment
had been acupuncture.” –
