Dr. Yukino White DACM, LAc, Dipl.O.M
Dr. Yukino White is a licensed acupuncturist with a deep passion for healing. Her path to medicine began from a place of profound loss. After losing her mother and friends in a short period of time, she was left with a deep sense of helplessness. She realized how little she truly knew about the human body, despite having lived in one for over 30 years. That realization inspired her to pursue a deeper understanding of healing through the study of Eastern Medicine.
She is passionate about helping individuals find relief from both physical pain and emotional suffering. Her mission is to empower people to live more fully and freely -so they, in turn, can pass that strength on to those around them. She believes that healing is not just a personal journey, but one that strengthens our communities and contributes to a more compassionate and sustainable world for future generations and all living beings.
Dr. Yukino attended Pacific College of Health and Science where she earned her Master’s and Doctoral Degrees in Chinese Medicine. She is a California Licensed Acupuncturist and nationally certified as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Jayme
Jayme Nathason earned his Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in 2025. His journey into the healing arts was shaped by a unique professional background as a circus performer and aerial coach. His years in the performance world equipped him with a keen understanding of the importance of holistic health and the undeniable connection of the mind, body, and spirit, which is seamlessly mirrored in the philosophy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This foundation naturally inspired his passion for working with athletes and individuals with musculoskeletal conditions, helping them optimize performance, recover from injury, and sustain long-term wellness. His clinical approach is also deeply informed by his own health journey. While in graduate school, he experienced a rare neurological condition resulting in Cluster headaches and executive function impairment. This experience fostered a particular clinical interest in supporting patients with neurological, cognitive, and chronic conditions. Additionally, Dr. Jayme is committed to creating an inclusive practice environment. He welcomes members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and recognizes that healthcare must be culturally competent, and trauma informed. He prioritizes offering a safe and supportive space where healing can occur without fear of judgment.
