Nathalie Valkov L.Ac was trained in Oriental Medicine at Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine. Since 1999, she has had the opportunity to practice such healing methods as acupuncture, electro-stim acupuncture, acupressure, tui na, cupping, moxibustion, and herbal therapy. She interned both in an oriental environment at Emperor's College clinic and in a western environment at the Los Angeles Free Clinic. She has successfully treated ailments such as arthritis, Raynaud's syndrome, asthma, colds, flu, heart problems, various types of pain, diabetes, stress, insomnia, tonsillitis, fibromyalgia, and gynecological dysfunctions.

It is her belief that the success of modern medicine lies in the ability of their practitioners to incorporate both western and oriental treatment modalities. She believes in working closely with western practitioners to ensure that her patients get the best of both worlds. She uses modern western diagnosing methods when necessary, but also relies heavily on traditional oriental values to develop her treatment plans. Communication with her patients is key. Her first appointment generally lasts two hours and a thorough interview covering all body systems is done at that time. Following appointments generally last one to one and a half hours. Progress will be evaluated weekly at the beginning of each session.

She has set up her practice in Glendale California where she sees patients Tuesdays to Saturdays and keeps an herbal pharmacy comprised of over 400 single herbs and formulas. She also holds phone consultations by appointment for herbal therapy only. Consultations can be conducted in English or French depending on the patient's language of preference.
