Meet Your Holistic Practitioner:
Joyce Kenmotsu Sonoda, LA.c
An Expert in Healing, Growth and Resilience
At the core of Joyce Kenmotsu Sonoda’s approach is the belief that true healing goes beyond treating symptoms—it’s about creating lasting balance and vitality for both mind and body.
Her journey into holistic health began early, after struggling with frequent illness, side effects from antibiotic medication, and later, sports injuries as an international athlete. Rather than accept pharmaceuticals and surgery as her only options, Joyce turned to natural medicine. Her search for answers led her to study kinesiology, acupuncture, and Oriental medicine—earning a B.S. and M.S. while working in the field. She became one of the youngest practitioners in her graduating class that was licensed by the California State Board. She went on to conduct stem cell research in Italy and has since built over 16 years of experience helping people heal.
Joyce’s philosophy deepened after surviving a car accident that left her with a spinal disc injury. Told surgery was her only path forward, she instead applied her own knowledge—integrating acupuncture, nutrition, and exercise—to fully recover. She went on to complete a triathlon and even medal in an ultimate fitness championship, proving that the body can heal and thrive when supported naturally.
Today, Joyce helps clients reclaim their health through online consultations, Oriental Medicine lifestyle coaching, and in-office treatments. Whether the concern is pain, digestive issues, women’s health, stress, or overall well-being, she empowers clients with practical tools to heal, prevent illness, and build a healthier future.
If you’re ready to take charge of your health, Joyce is here to guide you—blending professional expertise with personal experience to help you reach your full potential.
