Doris-Owanda, licensed acupuncturist, herbalist and healer extraordinaire, has been described by her clients and patients as a combination of an old-fashioned medicine woman, a new age healer, and an out and out lifesaver!  She is an educator and the founder of Heart & Soul Institute of Natural Medicine in Los Angeles, California. In her years of dedicated study and practice, Dr. Doris, as she is affectionately called, has helped thousands of people of all ages and walks of life heal from a variety of diseases, illnesses and imbalances since 1993. 

“It gives me great pride and joy to help others regain and maintain their health.  It’s as if I’m giving them the chance to truly enjoy life and fulfill their life purpose.  I take a genuine interest in my patients’ care.  At Heart & Soul Institute we focus on the total health of the individual – body, mind, emotions, spirit…”

Dr. Doris received her second Master’s degree from Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  As part of her practice, she uses the ancient discipline of Oriental medicine, as well as many cutting edge, integrative and complementary practices of modern natural medicine. As an herbalist, Dr. Doris uses the art of balancing alchemy and energy to assist her in creating healing and rejuvenating formulae.  Her family practice allows her to treat a wide spectrum of people whose medical issues range from acute and chronic pain to digestive and respiratory disorders, as well as auto-immune disorders.

With an extensive background in dance and movement, Dr. Doris performs and instructs individuals and groups through workshops on dance and movement as they relate to overall health and wellness.

Dr. Doris believes in servicing the community as well as the individual and has been an activist for social change and teacher for many years.  Dr. Doris is currently an instructor and intern supervisor at Samra University of Oriental Medicine.  She is also a member and volunteer of the Foundation of Wellness Professionals, a non-profit organization founded in 1985.  Dr. Doris offers educational workshops and lectures to the public to impart knowledge and empower individuals on the use of traditional medicines for the safe and effective treatment and prevention of disease.  As the founder of Heart & Soul Institute of Natural Medicine, Dr. Doris’ greatest passion is to promote radiant and balanced health for all.
