Lada’s journey in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began early in her medical career as a Pediatrician in Ukraine. There, she studied and implemented Korean micro-acupuncture techniques learned from Professor Dr. Park Jae Woo, founder of the Korean Institute of Acupuncture. After more than 25 years of providing patient care in U.S. hospitals, she pursued her passion for TCM by traveling to China. In 2019, she studied acupuncture at the Beijing International Center of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and completed clinical training at the outpatient clinic of the China Beijing Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

With over 30 years of experience, Lada integrates her extensive knowledge of TCM and conventional medicine, enabling her to effectively analyze and address the underlying mechanisms of her patients’ symptoms. 

Lada specializes in treating a wide variety of conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, autoimmune disorders, allergies, migraines, digestive issues, skin conditions, gynecological concerns, and infertility. Her holistic approach supports patients across a broad spectrum of health needs. 

In her spare time, Lada enjoys walking along the beach and hiking the scenic trails of the Shenandoah. She also dedicates much of her time to reading about Chinese medicine, a practice that deepens her knowledge and enriches her work as a Traditional Chinese Medicine provider.
