My guest, Tara Diaz, is an acupuncturist and herbalist practicing in El Segundo, CA. Her practice Tara Diaz Wellness exists to inform about health, wellness, and East Asian medicine traditions that inspire people to take action over their well-being.
Tara grew up in Venice Beach, California and credits her unique upbringing with her interest in integrative medicine. As a teen she could be found in a health food store researching herbs in the pre-internet world or spending time with her grandmother giving her insulin shots or testing her own blood sugar and researching diabetes.
After studying psychology as an undergrad where she was first introduced to mind-body medicine, she went on to spend several years in the hospitality industry before studying Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2009.
Tara enjoys cooking, yoga, and middle eastern dance as well as spending time with her family. She also volunteers with her children’s school PTA and the Mindful Veterans Project in her free time.
