Transform your health today

Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD

Functional Medicine; Trauma, Attachment, and Addiction Specialist

What is your story? Many of us may not even know the full scope of our life story, but our bodies and health give us clues. Symptoms and illnesses that become chronic, that the current medical system is not able to provide answers or healing for can be the clues our bodies give of our story.

My story starts with the traditional medical training at Loma Linda University and 4 years general General Surgery training at Oregon State Health Sciences University in Portland, OR.

My life was dramatically affected by Miguel, a 4 year old boy I adopted from the foster care system while during medical school who had experienced neglect, abuse, and instability since he was born. He ultimately challenged every aspect of my way of thinking, my medical training, even my spiritual beliefs.

The result has been an experiential learning of trauma, neurobiology, attachment disorders, stress and inflammatory illnesses, and addictions. The result has also been a personal quest to find the underlying cause and heal myself from fatigue, depression, and high levels of autoimmune antibodies that the specialists had no answers for except an anti-depressant to manage symptoms.

Through my own journey, training and now helping others on their journey, my understanding of what it takes to help the mind and body after the effects of stress and trauma has expanded to beyond what conventional medicine offers. Science and the experience of others are now confirming that even the most challenging of cases can achieve a better level of health.

There is hope, and you can experience improved health and wholeness too.

Dr. Maryam Poursartip, MD

Internal Medicine Telemedicine; 80/20 Quantum Care

I’m a primary care physician specialized in Internal Medicine. I come from a diverse background and a multilingual home. Born in the United Kingdom to Persian parents, I spent my early childhood in different European countries until my family and I settled on the island of Cyprus. Given my love of languages and fluency in English, Farsi, French, Greek, and a bit of Arabic and Spanish, going into the field of linguistics was my back-up plan if I didn’t make it to medical school.

I did my undergraduate studies at McGill University in Montreal, then spent a decade in New York for medical school at St. George’s University and residency at the State University of New York. Upon completion, I embarked on my new journey in California.

It was during my own health struggles these past few years that I started questioning the conventional medicine that I practiced, and more importantly, my own purpose in this lifetime. I started doing a lot of inner work after coming to the understanding through a mentor that 80% of success involves mindset and inner work to clear and release blocks and blind spots – and only 20% is a result of external strategies. So why not bring the 80/20 rule into every area of life, including our health. As a result, my interest in energy work grew even more when I started working with teachers in Quantum Healing, Quantum Flow, Psych-K, Energy Healing, and E-motion Code.

I am now focused on sharing the tools I have learned with a soulmate team to help merge traditional medicine with Energy work, as per Einstein’s equation E=mc2, to build customized treatment templates for patients.

Dr. Brielle Kelly, D.Ac., Dipl.O.M., L.Ac.

I knew this was my course when I walked away from my first acupuncture treatment lightened, giddy, and completely resolved of the depression I’d been thwarted by for months. Finally, I thought, a medicine that supported my natural state of being, harmlessly. I was hooked. More than a decade later, my family is in part thanks to the acupuncture I gave to my wife during IVF. I have 18 years of patient experience in the miracles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and nutritional support, and I co-authored “What’s Your Season?”, a book that celebrates TCM principles in a body-type focused guide to health living. For more information, please visit www.whatsyourseason.com.

My graduate clinical research in immunology yielded significant evidence in support of acupuncture’s enhancement of immune response. My additional clinical experience includes participation with the support staff and medical records team at Dr. Dean Ornish’s Preventive Medicine Research Institute in Sausalito, California. While there, I studied and observed the benefits of preventive medicine as applied to cardiac and cancer patients. I previously held a professorship at Mercy College and the Swedish Institute in New York City. While in NY, my work with the Center for Women’s Reproductive Care at Columbia University helped spur my passion for providing Chinese Medicine care for patients struggling with infertility.

I am a licensed acupuncturist in the states of California and New York, a Diplomate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and a Certified Applied Clinical Nutritionist. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Chemistry minor. I also earned an additional Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and a Master’s degree in Professional Studies for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, New York. I continued on for my doctorate in acupuncture, further integrating functional medicine and evidenced-based medicine into my practice. I am an esteemed member of the American Association of Oriental Medicine (AAOM).

Kristen Chew, L.Ac., CMT, CYT

Kristen is a nationally certified and California-licensed acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner—blending ancient healing traditions with modern technology, including Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM). FSM delivers microcurrent at specific frequencies that resonate with particular tissues and conditions in the body. These low-amperage currents are much gentler than those used in conventional TENS units and are typically imperceptible during treatment, yet are remarkably effective at producing therapeutic effects—enhancing cellular repair, reducing pain and inflammation, and accelerating recovery.

Kristen holds a Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) and a Bachelor’s in Applied Mathematics from the University of California, San Diego. She began her acupuncture career providing community care at a holistic wellness and fitness center and has successfully maintained a private practice since 2013. She also brings several years of experience delivering integrative health services—including acupuncture, bodywork, and yoga—to corporate clients.

She has received extensive training under Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan, DAOM, L.Ac., a leading voice in holistic sports medicine and the exploration of consciousness and human potential. In addition, Kristen has completed both the Core and Advanced training modules in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) under Dr. Carolyn McMakin, the pioneer behind FSM, as well as specialized FSM training in sports medicine and pain management with Kim Pittis, LCSP, MT, a respected educator and clinician in the field.

Kristen offers a personalized, integrative approach to health and wellness and is committed to a lifelong journey of exploration and learning—continually expanding the knowledge and skills essential to both personal and professional growth.

What is a sound bath/sound healing therapy and what are the benefits?
The practice of healing bodies through sound is thousands of years old with deep roots in cultures across the world. A sound bath is a meditative experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by various sources: singing bowls, chimes, drums, and more. Potential benefits include stress reduction, improved sleep, enhanced mood, increased self-awareness, and a sense of inner harmony. Other healing and benefits may occur but VitaVictoria is not a medical practitioner and does not diagnose or treat any medical conditions.

What to expect
Currently the focus is solely on using frosted crystal bowls, chimes, and human voice. Clients should wear comfortable clothing to ensure relaxation during the session. Shoes are usually removed. The client lays down completely on a yoga mat for the duration of the session. Please bring with you a yoga mat, cushion, blanket, pillow (essentially anything you need to be comfortable laying on the ground). Typically, sound baths last between 30 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on the client’s preferences and needs. Most sessions and events are 60 minutes in length. You are encouraged to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your session or event in order to get set up and to initiate the destressing process.

Energy Medicine is an intuitive, natural method of energy healing—a holistic way to balance our bodies, our emotions, and our spiritual selves. I offer a variety of wellness modalities to support you in your physical, personal, and spiritual growth.

Over the past 25 years, I have cultivated my intuitive connection to the spiritual and metaphysical worlds with the goal of helping people heal, and improve the quality of their lives. I am a Certified Psychic and Psychic Medium, a Reiki Master, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Past Life Regressionist. Together, these areas provide a powerful way for me to help you tap into your innate power to heal and transform your life.

My services include Intuitive energy healing sessions, BioMat healing sessions, Mediumship Readings, 5 Element Personal Clearings, Space Clearing, as well as classes and group events. These services are wonderful independently, and they also blend harmoniously to provide a greater platform for self-awareness, understanding, personal growth, and healing. My goal is to use my intuitive, Mediumship, and energy-healing abilities to help you heal where it is needed and to understand and transform your life. As you explore your karmic and energetic self, you’ll begin to recognize your own ability to harness your authentic power to enrich and empower your life.

I Look forward to supporting you on your personal journey towards transformation.

Joanne Brohmer

For more than 20 years, I’ve helped people heal, grow, and connect more deeply with themselves through a holistic blend of intuitive guidance, energy work, and personal coaching. My approach bridges the spiritual and the practical. I use psychic insight and mediumship to offer clear, compassionate guidance, and combine that with hands-on healing modalities like Reiki and CranioSacral Therapy. I also offer coaching for those ready to take real steps toward change—whether that means healing emotional patterns, improving relationships, or stepping into a new chapter of life. I’m known for helping people feel seen and supported, often on levels they didn’t expect. Clients often say that after working with me, they feel lighter, clearer, and more connected to their own power.

My journey into this work began early. I was born an empath with a deep sensitivity to energy, emotion, and the unseen. I could often feel what people needed before they spoke it. I instinctually wanted to reach out and offer touch and comfort. People often felt deeply held and understood with me. When I learned about Reiki when I was 18, I felt an immediate pull to learn it and quickly became a Reiki Master two years later. It is still the most profound and gentle form of healing I have found. A few years later as I learned that I would get intuitive “hits” during sessions, I travelled along side a friend doing readings at psychic fairs and learned this was in the cards for my path as well. It wasn’t until later in life that I learned these abilities had names—clairvoyance, clairsentience, and claircognizance—and that they ran through my family.

My practice grew naturally from there. Along the way, I’ve continued to train, study, and deepen my offerings—because I believe healing is a lifelong process, and I’m on the path with you. Here are my current offerings I have developed over now 25 years.
Reiki Master & Teacher (certified by age 21)

• Psychic & Mediumship Development
• CranioSacral Therapy
• Integrated Energy Therapy
• Certified Yoga Teacher (Rishikesh, India – 2006)
• Meditation & Visualization Techniques
• Family Constellation Facilitation (certified 2010)
• Certified Life Coach (2018)

If you’re seeking support that’s intuitive yet grounded, spiritual but practical, I’d be honored to walk with you. Together, we can clear what’s holding you back, strengthen your inner voice, and reconnect you with the clarity, wholeness, and wisdom that have been within you all along.
