Focus on Complex Health Concerns with a Gentle and Effective Style
Veronica’s goal as a practitioner is to help individuals discover their full healing potential. Most often there are many layers of complexity to each person- and in each health concern.

She treats each person as a whole person as opposed to just the disease or health concern they present with.
Portrait of Veronica Ang, DACM, LAc
“My work is to serve humanity, community, the planet, and people who are out to make a positive impact in the world and in the lives of others.
The health of people and the planet are interconnected and dependent on each other.
If every individual could reach the heart of their full health potential, we may discover new possibilities, not only as individuals, but also as a collective community. ”
