“Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease.” -Hippocrates
Dr. Samantha Prashad, DACM, L.Ac is the Founder and Owner of Intuitive Integration. She combines Traditional Chinese Medicine with functional medicine to deliver individualized treatments. She helps to assess underlying nervous system stressors on deep energetic level. She practices a variety of functional medicine techniques as well as acupuncture and herbalism to rebalance the body.
Dr. Samantha Prashad completed her Bachelor’s degree at Cornell University. As a premedical student she realized that the Western Medical model did not always get to the root cause of disease. She then decided to pursue a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco. She loves to use five element analysis to hone in on energetic, psycho-emotional and physiological imbalances in the body. She uses gentle needling techniques that are even tame enough for infants.
In between her busy schedule she enjoys spending time with family and friends, relaxed beach days and of course exploring the latest fashion trends. She is compassionate and loves helping patients in as many ways as she can. She aims to give home to patients struggling to find hope with their health journey. She enjoys working on complex cases like Lyme Disease, Fertility Complications, ADHD, Cancer, and Autoimmune conditions.
