Fertility
“After 3 failed IVFs…I conceived naturally”
—Loretta T.
Dr. Kao has specialized in fertility for over 25 years, partnering with Bay Area fertility clinics and completing her doctoral research on acupuncture combined with IVF.
Minzhan Gao is currently studying for FABORM board certification in reproductive medicine.
Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF, or seeking support through pregnancy, our team understands this journey – both clinically and personally.
Pain
“After only two sessions, I felt like
I had a new neck!” — Andrea M.
Our practitioners bring advanced training in orthopedic acupuncture and pain management. Jon Diskin is a DAOM candidate specializing in Integrated Orthopedic Acupuncture, while Ana Hortillosa, DACM, combines traditional Chinese and Japanese techniques for chronic pain relief.
From sports injuries to long-standing back pain, carpal tunnel to migraines, we address the root causes – not just symptoms.
Balance
“After my first session, I felt SO much calmer” — Marissa D.
When anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances appear together, they’re not separate problems – they’re signals your system is out of balance.
Ana Hortillosa, DACM, specializes in treating emotional challenges including depression, anxiety, and trauma, while our team uses an integrative approach that considers how stress affects your entire body.
We treat root causes to restore your sense of equilibrium.
Our Team of Specialists
Fertility & Functional Medicine
With 25+ years of clinical experience and a doctorate focused on acupuncture and IVF outcomes, Dr. Kao founded Integrative Wellness Center to extend her standard of care across a team of specialists. She bridges Eastern and Western medicine—incorporating blood work and lab testing alongside acupuncture and herbal protocols. Her own fertility journey deepened her commitment to helping women through theirs.
Chronic Pain & Emotional Healing
Dr. Hortillosa brings an interdisciplinary approach informed by classical Chinese medicine, Japanese acupuncture, neuroscience, and trauma therapies. A former clinical director and supervisor, she specializes in chronic pain, anxiety, depression, grief, and reproductive health. Her gentle technique and gift for connecting physical symptoms to emotional patterns help patients finally understand—and resolve—what’s been holding them back.
Orthopedic & Pain Management
Currently completing his doctorate in Orthopedic Acupuncture, Jon specializes in sports injuries, acute pain, and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. His approach integrates myofascial trigger point therapy, cupping, and electrical stimulation with a whole-person perspective shaped by his own journey through cancer and healing. He brings precision to technique and presence to every treatment.
Fertility Support & Injury Recovery
A licensed acupuncturist since 2013, Minzhan brings specialized training in reproductive medicine alongside extensive experience treating injuries at a workers’ compensation clinic. Her dual expertise means she understands both the delicate hormonal work of fertility support and the precise structural work of injury recovery. Patients consistently describe her results as “magic”—a word that appears again and again in their reviews.
The Integrative Wellness Center Approach
At Integrative Wellness Center, we’ve assembled a team of specialists—each with advanced degrees and distinct areas of expertise. Dr. Kao personally assesses every new patient to ensure you’re matched with the practitioner best suited to your specific condition and goals.
During your free 15-minute assessment, Dr. Kao will discuss your health concerns, treatment history, and what you’re hoping to achieve. She’ll then connect you with the specialist on our team whose training and experience align most closely with your needs—whether that’s fertility support, chronic pain management, injury recovery, or holistic wellness care.
