Olivia Fellus, L.A.c, Dipl.OM, is a double board licensed acupuncturist, and Chinese Medicine herbalist, founder of Ascend Healing. She has been practicing Chinese Medicine for 8 years. She specializes in women’s health, specifically supporting women through hormonal shifts during perimenopause, menopause and beyond. She completed her baccalaureate in Russian Language and Literature from UCLA in 2009. After graduating Summa cum laude she completed her post-bac premedical studies at SDSU in 2011. After taking an EMT course and working as an oral surgical technician for Dr. Hammond, she realized that Western medicine was not her calling. Eastern Medicine had intrigued her, for the ancient practice involves looking at the whole person, rather than isolated symptoms of disease. She enrolled in Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2012 and graduated with her Masters in Oriental Medicine in December 2015. During her medical training, Olivia interned in the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine Clinic, UCSD Owens Clinic, and at Radys Childrens hospital. These experiences have exposed her to a variety of patients and ailments, sharpening and widening her skills as a practitioner of Chinese Medicine. Additionally, Olivia Fellus has had the honor of assisting and shadowing the renowned Dr. Zev Rosenberg, practitioner of classical Chinese medicine, in his clinic for 4 years.
