Chloe Dove, MSOM, L.Ac.
Chloe Dove, L.Ac, Dip. OM (NCCAOM), is a nationally board-certified, licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Loyola Marymount University. She then went on to complete her 4 year Master’s of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Emperor’s College in Santa Monica, CA. During her training she felt called to a speciality in fertility and women's health. She attended extra seminars outside of regular schooling to deepen her knowledge about Chinese Medicine and its uses and applications with fertility and women’s health. She is passionate about helping women feel empowered about their health and bodies. She thinks the creation of life is an absolute miracle and feels honored to help families grow. After dealing with her own digestive issues for years, she came to Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for help and was transformed by the treatments she received. She learned how to listen to the signs her body was telling her and felt empowered about her own health for the first time. This helped spark her desire to study this medicine to share with others. She began to see other areas of her life be transformed through Chinese Medicine and has a deep passion for helping others along their healing journeys as well. In her free time she loves being in nature and hiking all around Arizona with her husband. She loves being active, such as taking a pilates or yoga class, or hopping on the Peloton. She can often be found reading or doing a puzzle with her husband and their two cats.
