“For the first time in 6 weeks, I was able to relax and sleep”
“My daughter just moved to Germany and I struggled with not having her around the house. I only slept for 2 to 3 hours the entire week after she left….After my treatment, my entire body just felt so heavy but very relaxed. And for the first time in a week since my baby girl moved out of the country, I was able to relax and sleep for 6 hours.”
— Kat M.
When nothing else seems to be helping you…
It’s frustrating when your mornings are you waking up with pain. And when you go to doctors, they either “don’t know what’s wrong” or only have solutions that are pills. But you’re seeking true healing—not just to get relief from what you’ve been struggling with, but to get back the energy you’re used to and the lifestyle it allowed for you.
Whether you’ve been experiencing back pain, joint pain, or neck pain, or have diagnoses for anything from a herniated disc to spinal stenosis, we’ve helped hundreds of people like you find relief through integrated treatments that put you first—seeking to understanding what it is you’re struggling with, before gently guiding you towards healing of your whole.
Who we’re here to help:
Anyone suffering joint or back pains that’s kept them from being active
Anyone who’s kept up at night from pains or wakes up with them
Anyone experiencing shooting pains, numbness, or tingling
Athletes of any age, from amateurs to professionals

Putting you back in control of your health
Using 5 branches of Chinese Medicine
Worlds apart from modern medicine that’s mostly been developed within the last 50 years, Chinese Medicine brings to you healing that has worked for over 3,000 years. We pair together herbs, nutrition, mindfulness, and healthy movement, to support the complex whole that you are.
Keeping treatments simple and gentle
Healing is in its essence taking steps towards nature, and to us, that begins with doing things simply. Instead of prescribing chemicals that you can’t pronounce, our treatments are gentle, small steps in a journey to make you feel better, sleep deeper, and discover the energy that lets you do the things that fill and brighten you.
Healing you from a quiet, relaxed environment
Within our all-women practice in Fairfield, California, you’ll find a beautiful space that was thoughtfully planned to feel relaxing and inviting. Away from the busyness and noise of outside, come here to put your health in focus, have someone to truly listen to you, and receive natural recommendations that finally bring you relief.
Over 10 years of relieving pain
About Dr. Shawne Lopes
As a practitioner of integrative Chinese Medicine for over 10 years, Shawne’s decade of sitting down with hundreds of people—hearing their shared experiences of feeling unheard, their struggles of being out of balance and control, and coming to her in desperation when nothing else worked—has been her constant drive to keep doing what she does.
In healthcare, we’re promised so much that falls short. The real test is how you feel in your body in the moment, when you return home, and then when you wake up the next day.
Through uniting treatments that address the entirety of our complex bodies—our physical, movement, nutrition, and mind—Shawne’s practice has been helping people from all walks of life get the relief they’ve been yearning for, as they build their health for better strength, energy, and a calmer mind.
