About

Novella Leimberg, MS, L.Ac

Novella Leimberg, MS, L. Ac., is an acupuncturist and holistic health practitioner with a deep  commitment to the healing arts. Growing up in Los Angeles with artist parents, she was  introduced to holistic healing early on. This introduction, combined with yoga studies and a BFA  from the California Institute of the Arts, brings a unique creative perspective to her practice. Her  lifelong connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine, rooted in her childhood in Chinatown,  led to 24 years of Qi Gong and Tai Chi practice; including an apprenticeship with Julie Chan  Yan, a master in Traditional Chinese medicine. Novella specializes in pain and stress relief,  integrating traditional and modern approaches to treat the whole person.

Novella’s care mantra is to blend tradition with creativity, honoring the wisdom of ancient  practices while embracing the uniqueness of each individual. With a lifetime of holistic healing  and artistic exploration, she focuses on treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit— through a compassionate, integrative approach. Drawing on decades of experience in Traditional  Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and the healing arts, she guides her clients toward profound  balance, inner peace, and authentic wellness.

I seriously recommend Ritual Acupuncture. Novella has helped me so much with my pain and suffering. I have a torn rotator cuff for my right shoulder. And my right hip needs to be replaced. Novella has worked on me four times in the last two months. My normal pain is usually between a 8 and a 10. Now my pain on a daily basis is around a 3 or 4 on the pain scale. Very clean, very professional and very informational. I seriously look forward to my next appointment. Danielle M. | Yelp
