Dr. Nalu Cooley

Owner and Founder of Nalu Healing Arts

Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Functional Medicine Practitioner

Nalu received her Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Pacific College of Health & Science in 2015 in San Diego, CA. Her passion for the healing arts began in 2004 when she attended massage school and fell in love with anatomy, physiology, the nervous system, and somatic healing. She then received her undergraduate degree in Psychology along with the prerequisites for acupuncture school.


She studied under the esteemed Orthopedic Acupuncturist Dr. Matt Callison, author of the orthopedic book for acupuncture schools, and received hands-on training at UCSD, focusing on acute and chronic pain and trauma. She also spent a year interning at Rady Children's Hospital, working with patients suffering from adverse reactions to chemotherapy and radiation, chronic pain, eating disorders, digestive illnesses, ulcerative colitis, and many other ailments.


Nalu specializes in pain management and the mental-emotional-physical connection. She pinpoints where stress and emotions are held in the body and how they manifest as pain and ailments. Using orthopedic acupuncture, she focuses on pain management and the Five Element Theory and traditional Chinese medicine to address the mental, emotional, and spiritual connection. Her treatments incorporate acupuncture, bodywork, cupping, sound healing, and somatic healing.


Nalu is trained in multiple therapeutic techniques, including acupuncture, fire cupping, herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, electrical stimulation, moxibustion, gua sha, bodywork, sound healing, somatic healing, reiki, and intuitive card reading.


After experiencing autoimmune symptoms firsthand, Nalu discovered the transformative power of functional medicine. This journey inspired her to become a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. She is passionate about this field because it helped her find relief and aligns with her holistic approach to healing. Nalu is dedicated to empowering her clients to achieve optimal health through personalized, integrative care.
