After receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Biology from University of British Columbia, Mitra Daneshrad's passion for helping others led her to alternative medicine.

She graduated Magna Cum Laude at the top-ranked Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, California, where she studied and received her Masters in Acupuncture and Herbology.

After finishing her academic credentials, Mitra spent four years in clinical internship at Integrated Healthcare Clinic, UCLA Arthur Ashe Center and Daniel Freeman Hospital, treating numerous patients for a variety of symptoms, including pain management, women's health issues, substance abuse and addiction, psychological disorders, post surgery patients, stress and depression. Upon receiving her California State Board license, Mitra traveled to China for advanced training in pain management, chronic and internal disorders at the China Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center.

Mitra has maintained her private practice in Beverly Hills, CA and works with several clinics. She has worked in conjunction with medical doctors, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, and physical therapists specializing in the treatment of pain management, orthopedic issues and injuries, post surgical recovery, spinal injuries and supportive therapy for chronic issues. She has worked with psychologists to help patients dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. Other specialty areas of treatment include women's health issues such as dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopause, digestive issues, migraines, and allergy. She uses Chinese herbal medicine and nutrition along with Acupuncture to achieve the best results.

Mitra believes that Traditional Oriental Medicine is not in competition with or a replacement of modern Western medicine, and that the two could be applied in a complementary fashion. That is why she treats her patients with genuine concern, using the effectiveness of both Eastern and Western medicines. She encourages her patients to be active and participate in their path to wellness and overall health, energy and vitality.
