Our goal is to unveil the root cause of imbalance in your body and implement a personalized plan to attain sustainable relief.
Holistic and integrative support with individualized treatments involve a gentle yet effective approach, intended to bring your body to a state of homeostasis and allow for optimal healing.
Essence, known as Jing in Chinese medicine, is our root, our vitality. It’s what we are given at birth and our backbone throughout our lifetime — it’s what sustains us.
The mission at Essence Studio is to nourish our individual essence, working to preserve this vital substance that is responsible for our basic constitution, reproductive capabilities and longevity. Loosely translated as DNA in Western medical terms, essence is so foundational that it is ultimately the root of our practice.

She was born and raised on the east coast and found her way to natural medicine on the west coast. Caroline earned her master’s degree, Summa Cum Laude, from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA.
Caroline realized the transformative impact of acupuncture and herbal medicine while struggling with chronic migraines and recurrent back and neck pain. Her patient approach is shaped by her personal passion for gentle, individualized and collaborative care.
