About Dr. Kim Peirano, DACM, LAc.
|
Dr. Kim Peirano, DACM, L.Ac. is the Owner and Acupuncturist behind Lion's Heart. Kim is a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine graduate from the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, a Master’s of Science graduate from the Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, CA, and a California State Board Licensed Acupuncturist. Dr. Kim is a published author in Chinese Medical journals and publications and an Associate Editor for the Journal of Oriental Medicine. Dr. Kim has been practicing acupuncture in San Francisco and the East Bay Area since December 2010 and relocated her practice to San Rafael in September 2017.
Kim's areas of expertise and specialties include cosmetic acupuncture, acupuncture for spiritual growth and navigating major life changes, pain management, stress management, women's health & fertility, and neurology & paralysis treatment. In addition to her training as an Acupuncturist, Kim is a Deeksha Oneness Blessing Giver, and an advanced level student at the Foundation for Spiritual Development. Within these spiritual avenues she devotes her time and service to helping others clear paths for their personal spiritual awakening. Kim works on her own personal growth through meditation, prayer and healing, often working within the quantum field, with non-conditional spirit guides and Oneness. She utilizes her intuitive connection to help guide her treatment strategies and diagnosis with each patient, by accessing the subtle natures of the Qi (energy) in the body she is able to provide unique, individual treatments and insights to every session. |
Kim's focus with each client is to find a balanced path so that each individual can find their way to a better version of themselves in a fashion that is attainable. Kim believes that acupuncture is an incredible tool to use on your path for growth, whether that growth is physical (for healing ailments and injuries or improving organ functions), mental and emotional (working on stress and emotional healing) or spiritual (working on a more abstract path of growth and self discovery). It’s important to remember that the path of true growth may not always be one of comfort, but sticking to this path can produce incredible outcomes and change. Kim’s ideal patient is one who is ready and willing to commit to their own path of growth, whether in great strides or tiny steps, they are wanting to commit to the path of growing and moving forward.
In addition to her acupuncture practice, Kim is a multi-faceted and unique individual; known to some as Kimba Rose, she is an artist, jeweler, photographer, DJ, and model. Kim enjoys open water rowing and swimming in the SF Bay, hiking in Marin and deepening her connection to the Divine with her spiritual community in Marin. Her depth of creativity, humor and intuitive abilities bring a unique nature to her treatments and art projects, setting her World's apart from other practitioners. Kim’s background and training as a Jeweler, Sculptor and traditional Artist bridges the segway from Acupuncturist to Permanent Makeup Artist with ease. Her eye for detail, aesthetic taste and finely tuned fine motor skills are essential to producing the best brows you can find.

|
Our History |
Dr. Kim's vision for Lion's Heart came about in the Summer of 2015, she realized that her unique nature and methods of treatment didn't quite fit in with the traditional acupuncture clinics and day spa environments she had been practicing in for the past 5 years. Kim wanted to create something that matched her lifestyle, treatment style and artistic, fun-loving nature and the vision for Lion's Heart came about. Kim felt that most traditional acupuncture clinics and day spas fall into one of two categories - overly medical and stiff or overly 'new-age' and pretentious. Lion's Heart aims to fit into neither of those two categories, we are a unique environment that creates a space for healing utilizing art, enjoyment, acceptance and community. Our clients are musicians and artists, business professionals, bartenders, construction workers, mothers, nurses, hairdressers and everyone in between. We treat people from many different backgrounds and job markets, but they all have one thing in common - they love to ENJOY life and want to help themselves become better people in the process of living a full and vibrant lifestyle.

Kim’s vision for Lion’s Heart is to expand as an industry leader for Cosmetic Acupuncture, Intuitive Acupuncture and Permanent Makeup by training other practitioners, educating the public through workshops and speaking engagements and providing state of the art treatments that incorporate our philosophy and mission.
