Functional Medicine

Kai Wellness - Functional Medicine in Los Angeles

A term coined in 1993 to describe the “medicine of the future”, functional medicine refers to a higher standard of care that includes diagnostic precision using the latest laboratory testing, specific assessment of genetic markers, and custom nutraceutical, dietary and lifestyle plans that target prevention on an epigenetic level.

When you understand how your body works at this level, you can optimize detoxification pathways, work toward optimal genetic expression, and greatly enhance the quality of life.

At Kai Wellness, we are proud to partner with cutting edge technologies at top laboratories to add tremendous value in making functional assessments and treatment in Los Angeles. We also partner with top of the line, innovative nutraceutical companies to help you achieve your best possible health.

Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture

Functional Medicine in Los Angeles

This time-tested medicine has not only thousands of years of practice but an ever-growing base of clinical evidence to support its powerful yet natural effectiveness. Thin, painless needles are inserted at specific points of the body to open energy channels and clear blockages. Includes: Cupping, Gua Sha, Moxa, and Acupressure.

Specialty Acupuncture Styles: Japanese (gentle), Esoteric (spiritual-emotional), Pediatric (non-invasive) and Facial Rejuvenation (cosmetic).

Chinese Herbal remedies can support the care of difficult diseases, balance the body, and support natural defenses against the effects of stress and environmental toxins. Chinese herbs are a safe and effective, time-tested resource for optimal wellbeing.

We proudly use only the highest quality herbs and acupuncture supplies for Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture in Los Angeles.

Nutritional Counseling

Functional Medicine in Los Angeles

Proper nutrition is essential, and without a doubt – food is medicine. Most physical and emotional conditions can be greatly relieved with proper nourishment and supplementation.

More than what we eat, it’s how we eat and whether or not our bodies are effectively absorbing nutrients from our foods that make the greatest difference.

Instead of promoting any nutritional protocols or fad diets, we customize time-tested and thoroughly researched nutritional strategies for each individual based on their unique needs.

Yoga Therapy

Los Angeles At Home yoga therapist

Combining practices of body movement, awareness, and toning, breathwork, meditation, and Ayurveda (a 5000+ year-old system of traditional Indian internal medicine) to balance the Chakra energy system, Yoga Therapy helps you reclaim physical, emotional and spiritual health and wholeness.

As a physical therapy, Yoga Therapy addresses not only the target area – it treats the entire body as a whole.

Currently, a vast amount of research is becoming available as to the positive effects of Yoga Therapy on physical ailments, mental health, and spiritual attunement.

Reiki Energy Healing

Los Angeles Alternative Healthcare

Reiki being in the lead, research shows the positive effects of subtle energy healing techniques on the immune system, on mental health, and on recovery from surgery and illness.

Gentle placement of hands at various energy centers of the body deeply relax and allow powerful insight to come through. Reiki works great alone, and especially well as an adjunct therapy to any treatment.

Cosmetic - Microneedling

Microneedling in Los Angeles

Microneedling is the insertion of very fine needles into the skin for purpose of rejuvenation. This 30-minute, once per month treatment is used to effectively treat and improve conditions like fine lines and wrinkles, acne and scarring, loose skin, skin texture, pore size, brown spots, stretch marks and pigment issues (like melasma and vitiligo), and on the scalp to promote hair growth.

Microneedling creates micro channels in the skin, which stimulates collagen production and increases serum absorption by 3000%! Results are seen and felt after the fist treatment. Research shows maximum results to arrive in 4-6 treatments, and last and average of 5 years.

Integration Counseling

Counseling

Each of us is on a unique and fascinating soul journey. Marked by constant change, our lives present us with gateways and cycles that can feel challenging. Navigating initiations, integrating life experience and changing patterns requires skill to do successfully.

Integration Counseling is a one-on-one engagement that guides you through the process of deep healing and spiritual growth.

The result is completion of unresolved trauma, release of self-limiting beliefs, discovery of your gifts and resources and their implementation in various aspects of your life. Read more HERE

Meet Dr. Karina Menali

Physician, Healer, Educator
Owner of Kai Wellness, L.Ac., DACM, Dipl. OM, CIAYT, E-RYT500

Deeply attuned, compassionate, and insightful, Dr. Karina is loved and respected by colleagues and patients for consistently bringing passion and excellence to her work in holistic health and healing. A well-rounded practitioner, Dr. Karina, combines her background in the fields of Psychology, Yoga Therapy, and Reiki with extensive studies in Integrative Medicine schools and hospitals in the US, Japan and China to bring exquisite skill in her practice.

Dr. Karina achieves great results by addressing the mind/body connection, combining therapies, and customizing personalized treatment to address the unique needs of each individual. She is a dedicated practitioner who enjoys helping children and adults in their recovery from a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions, the prevention of illness, and restoration of balance, harmony, and wholeness in all facets of life. Her heart is in her work – Dr. Karina adheres to the highest standards of practice and offers expertly tailored wellness programs to address a wide variety of mental, physical, and spiritual needs.

Dr. Karina is currently in private practice in Los Angeles, California as well as Santa Fe, New Mexico. She serves humanity and future practitioners as faculty and clinical supervisor in the Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Master’s program at Yo San University in Los Angeles, CA. She has served as faculty and clinical training staff at Emperor’s College of Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA, as Acupuncturist at the Simms-Mann Health and Wellness Center at Venice Family Clinic in Santa Monica, CA, the Integrative Medicine Center at the Roy and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center in Burbank, CA, and at Being Alive in West Hollywood, CA – a non-profit organization that provides integrative health and wellness services to people living with HIV/AIDS. She co-founded and helped run a Japan-based study-abroad program for acupuncturists.

Before opening her private practice, Dr. Karina taught yoga and wellness classes at Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts and at private yoga studios. She worked extensively with psychiatric patients at Lifeworks, Inc., a non-profit providing various supportive and counseling services to individuals with dual diagnoses of mental health and cognitive impairment. She periodically gives workshops on various topics in health and wellness and organizes retreats. Fully committed to her personal development, Dr. Karina engages in daily self-cultivation practices and regularly attends seminars and conferences.

Karina is amazing! It’s difficult to explain exactly what happens in her treatment room but it’s nothing short of magic. She has a way of guiding me gently through the deep inner work that I have craved and needed for so long yet didn’t know how to do on my own.
During several of my treatments I’ll receive acupuncture and/or reiki after the work we do and it’s a beautiful way to help move the energy from our session. I always leave feeling relaxed and at peace.
Karina offers such a beautiful, safe and loving space and when she says “all of you is welcome here” she means it. I have never felt so seen and accepted as I have with Karina. I am forever grateful for her.💗

Santa Fe, NM

I was so blessed when Dr. Karina Menali started practicing in Santa Fe. I had gone through five operations for circulation and heart problems. I had come to a point where I was tired of fighting. I really would not be alive if I had not met her. I was on a cane and I did not know if I could walk right again. Then came the light of the Doctor. I am walking without a cane now and have turned my plane from a nosedive into an ascent to the heavens! She examines what is needed for you as an individual, her yoga classes are incredible, and she has taught me how to cradle the light. She helped me open to my inner self and has done so much for me mentally and physically. We have been blessed that this special person who has trained all over the world is here in our town. She has given me life!
