Eileen Zegar holds a masters degree in Oriental Medicine from Emperors College of Traditional Oriental Medicine.

She is a NCCAOM diplomate in Oriental Medicine (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine).

In addition to her studies in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Acupressure and Eastern Massage, Zegar received a Massage Therapy degree from the Institute of Psycho Structural Balancing with additional training in Advanced Therapeutic Massage and Cranial Sacral Unwinding.

After her 2001 Stage II Breast Cancer diagnosis, bi-lateral Mastectomy and participation in a clinical trial, it became clear that she would devote a portion of her practice to assisting other along their cancer journey. Zegar developed and performed services as a no-fee acupuncture program for WeSpark Cancer Support Center in Sherman Oaks, CA weekly for over twelve years.

She was on staff for over ten years at the Simms/Mann UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology, which is part of the UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center teaching workshops while providing acupressure and massage in the infusion room.

Eileen has taught at Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine, Samra University of Oriental Medicine, and The Shiatsu Massage School of California in Santa Monica.

Zegar studied Tai Chi with Master Tim O’Connor of Tai Chi Worx in Los Angeles. She has attended trainings in Subtle Spinal Manipulation by World renowned Rolfer and Cranial Sacral specialist, Benjamin Shields, PH.D.

With a strong foundation of calm abiding and peace, we can all thrive regardless of what is thrown our way.
