About Us

For over 30 years, we‘ve been a trusted, community-focused practice in Sacramento, blending gold-standard medicine with integrative care in a space intentionally designed for healing. As a fully Fear-Free practice, we offer conventional medicine alongside acupuncture, nutrition, Reiki, laser therapy, vibrational therapies, and advanced diagnostics. Our feng shui-inspired hospital features separate cat and dog entrances with ‘cookie bars,‘ calming nature videos, and our resident therapy cat, Mocha, who recently celebrated a birthday with a new toy, Ferrari.

We foster collaboration, continual learning, and transformation, honoring the human-animal bond with multi-generational clients and their companions.
