Lauren Freiman is such a gift in my life! I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from her since she took over Malibu Acupuncture and Herbs. Her passion for holistic healing and her skill as an acupuncturist coupled with her knowledge of the mind, body, soul connection make her a true healer and I will be forever grateful to her as she has helped me with so many diverse issues from chronic lower back pain to the common cold. At the moment, I am in the throes of menopause and her deep understanding of this complicated, but liberating phase of a woman's life has been invaluable. She listens from her heart, cares deeply and is a beautiful soul. Malibu Acupuncture is a very peaceful, calming, tranquil space - a real oasis in this crazy, fast paced world.... and check out her Forrest Yoga classes - they rock! read more

I must share with you the good fortune I had with Acupuncturist Lauren Freiman. I have COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and the effects are breathing problems. I used to huff and puff walking the stairs and walking uphill. Since being treated by Lauren, I am able to exercise and walk up stairs without getting out of breath. My ENT said I couldn't get better, the best we could hope for was to stay the same. Well lo and behold my last breathing test was improved and acupuncture helped me achieve this. Last year I fractured my pelvis in 7 places and I was told I had only a slight chance of recovery and after receiving regular treatments, I am now walking fine. Lauren has given me a daily regimen of herbs which has increased my energy,ward off colds and keeps me feeling great. read more

Malibu Acupuncture and Herbs was an oasis for me while I was trying to get pregnant, as well as through my pregnancy and delivery. Lauren's bright, calm spirit brought me a peace and confidence that all was going to be well. And it definitely was! Before Lauren, I had challenges with conceiving and then, after a few months of treatment and herbs, I found myself pregnant! I believe our beautiful, baby boy, Jonah, is here because of the treatments, herbs and amazing support that Lauren provided. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone in need of fertility assistance or, really, any health issue that requires a true healer's attention- for Lauren is just that a true, and gifted, healer. read more

Lauren Freiman is a true healer! I have been going to her for acupuncture for the last 6 years or so and I feel such deep gratitude for having found her. Whether I feel miserable with a cold or my back is out or if I just need a tune up, I walk out of her office a new person. Every time I walk into Malibu Acupuncture I feel like my treatment actually begins as I'm sitting in the waiting room. There is a distinct presence of tranquility and healing in that place. Lauren's graceful, insightful, compassionate, intuitive and gentle approach has allowed me to truly relax and heal in a way I had never experienced before coming into her care. Thank you Lauren! read more

Lauren is a gifted, talented, and caring acupuncturist. I have seen her regularly for maintenance and general health for years. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis which caused constant discomfort. I saw two neurologists to confirm the diagnosis and both recommended surgery as the only viable option. Over the course of several treatments, Lauren was able to eliminate the pain entirely. I am still pain free today (with no surgery). I am very grateful to Lauren and can highly recommend her. read more

Lauren and her practice are an absolute gift and a true healing experience. I sought out acupuncture for a myriad of reasons; but with specific emphasis with throat and vocal cord issues. Being a life long singer and worried I could not alleviate my vocal problems, Lauren has solved and fixed my vocal cords/throat. Lauren has incredible knowledge about all aspects of the physical and the emotional body and is a healer through and through. Her patience and vast experience uncover and rejuvenate. read more

She is kind, caring & compassionate and truly cares about helping people. She also has heated tables & a heat lamp to keep your tootsies warm!! yeahhh!!!

I am so glad I found this place! Western meds and methods seemed to be antagonizing my physical conditions, so I took a friend's suggestion to give acupuncture a go. My chronic back pain and weekly migraines are rapidly improving, and I can finally get to sleep at night. Lauren also gave me a custom formula that was customized for my body (she concocted it from powdered herbs, right in front of me). On top of that, she's one of the sweetest people you'll meet! Definitely worth it. read more

I think Lauren has a real gift. Her medicine is strong. I come out of each session feeling like I've gone into another zone of healing and transformation. I don't even know what it is she is doing, but I always come out feeling deeply changed! I had so much inflammation and soreness in my shoulder and she approached it in a multi-faceted way to open the channels and get me moving again! She is a compassionate and serious healer who knows her field! read more

Although I've always been afraid of needles, my Orthopedist recommended I try an acupuncture treatment with Lauren at Malibu Acupuncture & Herbs. She is one of the most caring, capable and knowledgeable health care professionals I have ever encountered. After a couple of treatments the pain I have had due to an old injury to my neck is markedly reduced and my range of motion is greatly improved. I am hooked! Susan R (Santa Monica) read more
