Anga Gonzalez

After finishing her BS in Nutrition at UC Berkeley, Anga wanted to explore the relationship between herbal medicine and food more deeply. She decided to go to Chinese Medicine School at PCOM in San Diego. While in the program she collaborated with midwives as a doula for the UCSD Hillcrest Hospital, with doctors in San Diego Hospice and the Children’s Hospital, as well as in various fertility centers. All these phases in her development as a practitioner gave her a unique perspective on medicine through the study of culture, folklore, food and human spiritual behavior. Chinese Medicine and the earlier exposure to herbal and allopathic medicine provided her with the framework to act as a bridge between the Asian traditions of healing and the Spanish-Speaking Community.
