Nenita J. McElroy MSTOM, L.Ac. RN
Prior to pursuing a career in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Nenita holds a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from the University of California at Los Angeles. She was employed in a multitude of clinical settings with an emphasis in adult cardiopulmonary, surgical and neurological intensive care at UCLA and Duke University Medical Centers. In addition, Nenita has worked with patients requiring long-term ventilatory support and home care nursing. It is because of her nursing background that she naturally gravitates towards the individualized treatment of the whole person. Nenita believes in the integration of western and eastern health practices with a focus in re-establishing the undeniable energetic relationship between the mind, the body and spirit.
Upon discovering that whole body healing encompassed this profound energetic connection, Nenita went on to study TCM at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, following a period of time where she faced her own challenging personal health issues that western medicine alone could not rectify. Graduating among the top of her class, Nenita earned a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine and is licensed and certified by the California Acupuncture Board. In addition, she is designated a Diplomate in Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Nenita specializes in the treatment of endocrine and hormonal imbalances, infertility, sports medicine and stress management.
