Luriko's gentle, down to earth and professional demeanor immediately made me feel safe and comfortable. I was also very impressed with the level of detailed observation Luriko applies in her assessment each appointment to make note of any changes whether subtle or great so that she can adjust the treatment to be the most effective as possible. I went to see Luriko to help with a number of challenges: balancing my monthly cycles, improving overall energy and improving sleep. Although I was only able to see her consistently for about two months due to an out of state move, I did notice within a couple of sessions that at least for a night or two after acupuncture my sleep was improved. Also, the symptoms I experienced right before I'd get my period were greatly alleviated. I am confident that had I been able to continue seeing Luriko I would have been able to completely balance my hormones and dramatically improve the quality of my sleep and energy levels.

I miss her attentive observation skills, sensitivity and ability to help me relax.

I am a college professor and professional classical musician/performer and I have been seeing Luriko Ozeki as a Chinese medicine practitioner for a couple of years now but have known her for longer. Both the professional worlds I belong to — the collegiate and the performing worlds — involve their share of stressors. Since I have been receiving regular acupuncture treatments, I have found a calmer, healthier side of myself which has gradually transferred to my work and all other facets of my life. I can say unequivocally that my piano playing has improved, has become freer and more emotive and that my performances are much less strained and therefore much more enjoyable to me.

When I first met Luriko Ozeki, she was still an intern at Yo San Clinic in Los Angeles and I had gone through many Chinese doctors and their prospective interns. As long as I was having my regular acupuncture treatments, I wasn’t selective about the doctor... until I met Luriko, who made me feel instantly at ease. There was about her an inner stillness and intelligence that pervaded the room. Because of Luriko’s natural “bedside manner” and her sure handedness with the needles, I did not instinctively shrink away from the needles as I had become accustomed. After our first appointment, I left her my contact information and extracted a promise from her that when she graduated and opened her own practice, she would call me and let me know. I am now happy to say that she has opened her own practice and with time I have found that Ms. Ozeki is an astute observer in all the ways a true healer and doctor should be. I encourage all people who seek Chinese medicine to seek Ms. Ozeki’s expertise and intelligent professionalism.

Dear Luriko,
I want to thank you for your wonderful services because after four long years of trying to conceive, we are finally pregnant!! We’ve done acupuncture prior to other transfers — in fact, this was our 6th procedure after 3 failed IVFs and 2 failed FETs — so it is truly a small miracle that the transfer finally worked.

Initially, I was concerned about using a practitioner that I had never met, but my acupuncturist was resolute in her recommendation of your services. And when we met, your calm, compassionate demeanor and confident efficiency immediately put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend your services to friends as it was much less stressful than trying to get to the acupuncture office the day before or the morning of the transfer.

Once again, thank you so much for your good care and help in finally making our dreams a reality!
Best,
Ann

Luriko Ozeki is an extremely caring and thoughtful healer. She really takes the time to get to know me as a person, and does not just concentrate on the problems that I am seeing her for. As a result, she has been able to help me understand how my ailments are partially a result of the stress that my job creates. Through such insights, along with acupuncture and Chinese herbs, I have been able to lead a more balanced and healthy life. Western medicine concentrates on “fixing” a specific problem often without taking into account other organ systems or even a person’s state of mind. Her therapy aims at restoring overall balance and well-being, which I believe is a better long term approach and a more fitting definition of “healing.” She has a talent for putting me at ease and making me feel relaxed. I usually fall asleep during her acupuncture treatments and wake up feeling refreshed! Whether I am seeing her for generalized symptoms such as fatigue or stress, or specific problems such as joint pain or migraine headaches, she has been able to help me. She is truly a healer. I highly recommend her!

Luriko has a gentle, calm manner about her and I’m sure that she’ll be very successful.

I’m a computer software salesman. I developed a massive gallstone; it filled my entire gallbladder. The catch is that no doctors — not even the specialists — diagnosed it for a long time. The symptoms are unbelievable bad. They included attacks that are said to be more painful then labor pains 80% of the people with gallstones are women, so this is a believable statement. By the way the attacks last much longer then labor and do not have a minimum 9 months separation.

I was beside myself and getting no help from the medical profession. I came to Luriko in desperation and must have been a difficult patient because I could not contain my frustration. She was fabulous. More importantly she gave me relief from the worst of the systems. She made my life bearable for the several months before I forced a doctor to do a CT scan. The scan made the stone obvious and negated all his earlier diagnosis.

If the stone had not been so huge I would have continued treatment with Luriko. I decided to have it surgically removed because of the risk that a 4" long rock in the middle of my abdomen posed.

During the last 4 months before a correct diagnosis was made I can honestly say that I do not know what I would have done without Luriko.
