CLINICAL EDUCATION COORDINATOR
Kira Baum
Kira Baum ND, LAc holds degrees in both Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture from Bastyr University. She has worked in a variety of integrative medical settings as well as in the education realm. She is excited to help Dr. Ahn standardize and bring his unique and effective acupuncture technique to a wider audience of integrative providers.
In her private practice Dr Baum utilizes a way of healing that meets the person where they are at and invites them to get closer to the earth and to their higher self. She listens deeply, serves as a guide and resource for my patients, and incorporate the healing power of eastern medicine (acupuncture), the natural world around us (herbal medicine, lifestyle medicine), and the Inner wisdom of my patients (utilizing clinical hypnosis). Having worked in integrative medical settings for the bulk of her career, I has gotten good at weaving these elements in with more conventional approaches and more specialized functional testing.
