HOLISTIC PRACTICE

PHILOSOPHY

Welcome to Vibrant Acupuncture & Sound!

I’m Ruth, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (DAOM) specializing in women’s reproductive health, fertility, and hormonal balance. My approach integrates Chinese Medicine, sound therapy, and fertility awareness education to help women reconnect with their natural rhythms and restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit.

As a Fellow of the Acupuncture Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM), I have advanced training in the integration of Chinese medicine and modern fertility science. I support women and couples through every stage of the reproductive journey, from cycle regulation and preconception preparation to IVF and pregnancy support, using evidence-based, holistic care grounded in both tradition and research.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, navigating endometriosis, PCOS, menopause, hormonal imbalances, or seeking to reconnect with your body after loss or transition, my goal is to help you feel supported, informed, and empowered.

As a sound healer, I weave music and vibration into acupuncture sessions using the voice, crystal and Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks, flutes, and chimes. These healing frequencies calm the nervous system, open the meridians, and restore a deep sense of harmony, supporting emotional resilience, hormonal balance, and inner peace.

As a certified Fertility Awareness & Sexual Health Educator (AFAP), I teach women how to understand and chart their ovulatory cycles as a tool for fertility optimization, cycle regulation, and conscious contraception.
Through body literacy, we reclaim knowledge that has long been hidden or medicalized, so you can make truly informed, embodied choices about your health and reproductive life. Knowing your fertile window, understanding your hormonal patterns, and learning to trust your body’s signals is a radical act of self-awareness and empowerment.

Your body is designed for rhythm, renewal, and balance. When we listen and attune to that resonance deeply - through acupuncture, sound, and self-awareness - we awaken the body’s innate capacity to heal and thrive.

If you’re ready to align with your natural cycles and reclaim your reproductive vitality, I look forward to working together.

ACUPUNCTURE

Needles, electrical stimulation, cupping, acupressure, infrared heat therapy, and topical herbs stimulate healing, immune function, pain relief, hormonal balance, digestive, and respiratory wellness. Come experience our healing space.

HEALTH COACHING

Ask about private consultations for fertility awareness education, menstrual cycle charting, Qigong for women's health, custom herbal medicine formulas, and vocal alchemy to heal through your voice.

CUPPING & BODY WORK

Cupping, acupressure, gua-sha and tuina are hands-on bodywork methods that promote circulation and decongestion. Using hands-on tools instead of needles, the body can achieve the same healing benefits of acupuncture.

BREATHE: Take a moment to sync your breath with the seasons -- breathe in for Spring, hold for Summer, out for Autumn, hold for Winter. It grounds and reconnects us with the rhythms and cycles of nature, with which we are one.

This is where reconnecting with your true nature & healing begins.

About -

RUTH SIE, LAc, FAE

In addition to my work in women’s health and body literacy, I specialize in chronic pain management and integrative medicine education. I spent a year conducting research at the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), supporting the Integrative Medicine Health Coach Training Program for Chronic Pain Management. Our interdisciplinary team trained DHS practitioners in evidence-informed modalities such as acupressure, tai chi, stress reduction techniques, and coaching skills, empowering both clinicians and patients with non-pharmacological tools for pain management. Witnessing how these methods reduce suffering and restore self-efficacy for patients has been profoundly rewarding.

From 2021–2023, I served as an East-West Acupuncturist Fellow at the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine, where I contributed to the development and evaluation of integrative medicine training programs for healthcare professionals. This fellowship deepened my commitment to bridging Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and biomedicine through research, education, and collaborative clinical models.

I earned my Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) in August 2025, specializing in Women’s Health and Reproductive Medicine.
My doctoral research explored the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine interventions - particularly the formula Erzhi Tiangui Decoction - on ovarian aging, oocyte quality, and mitochondrial function in women of advanced maternal age undergoing assisted reproductive technologies. My broader research interests include early detection and intervention for uterine fibroids and advancing body literacy education as a foundation for women’s reproductive empowerment and informed choice.

Outside of my practice, you’ll find me out in nature any chance I get - skiing, hiking, paddle boarding, simply breathing in the forest air, or biking with our adventure pom, Bear. A Seattle native now based in Los Angeles, I love that the sunny desert, snowy mountains, and open water are all within reach.
