ABOUT
Dawna Ara, DACM, CFMC, RN
I know what it’s like to feel off—when your energy, focus, and spark seem just out of reach. I also know what it’s like to find your way back—and to feel even stronger than before.
I’m Dr. Dawna Ara, a doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, Certified Functional Medicine Clinician, and Registered Nurse. I hold a Master’s and Doctorate in Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine, a Bachelor’s in Nursing, and certification in Functional Medicine through the Kharrazian Institute—training that bridges ancient wisdom with modern medical science.
My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing begins when we stop chasing symptoms and instead start seeing the whole picture. Using a blend of Eastern medicine, functional lab testing, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine, I help uncover the root causes behind your symptoms—creating personalized, step-by-step care to guide your body back to wellness.
I’ve lived this work. I’ve also healed through it. And for nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of patients just like you do the exact same.
Wherever you are on your healing journey, there is a path forward—and it would be an honor to walk it with you.
