Shannon Kobylka, L. Ac, MTOM, B. Ed., B. A.
Born and raised in Ontario, Canada. She earned her Psychology B. A., from University of Toronto, and her Bachelor of Education with a focus in developmental psychology from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. In 2004 she moved to Los Angeles California where she fell in love with Roller Derby, surfing and hiking. After fracturing her arm and sustaining a shoulder injury in a Vespa accident she was told she would have to live with chronic pain that would prevent her from participating in the activities she enjoyed. This is when she discovered acupuncture. After only a few acupuncture treatments she was pain free. Before she knew it she was studying acupuncture at Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine. Shannon graduated the Traditional Oriental Medicine master’s program summa cum laude. Shannon received her Reiki Practitioner training from the American Reiki Academy. Shannon has treated patients in multiple integrative medical settings including Venice Family Clinic in Venice, Being Alive Community Clinic in West Hollywood, and the Khalsa Medical Clinic in Beverly Hills. She brings this experience into her private practice. Shannon specializes in wellness, women’s health, trauma, skin conditions, anxiety and burnout.
“Shannon has the most amazing energy and approach to treating her patients. She takes the time to truly understand her patients’ needs and to get the root of their symptoms. Her approach is unparalleled-I actually fly across the country to see her because I haven’t found anyone I trust as much as I trust Shannon. I highly recommend! ”
“...Between living a highly active life and running a small business, apparently I’m just wrapped up in tension-so it was nice to visit an old friend and have her help mellow me out. If you are in need of some balance in your stressful life, I encourage you to pay Shannon a visit.”
“I just got home from my second acupuncture session with Shannon. I can not express how much better I feel not just in my body, but inside my head. The calm and the lack of constant back and body pain I’ve carried for decades is a heaven send...It is worth the drive!”
