About J. Ladan Nabet, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. (she/they)

~ Hello ~
I'm Ladan--an acupuncturist, bodyworker and intuitive.

My healing work harmonizes your body’s innate life force to ease pain and transform the ways chronic stress is held in the body.

Having a body and being human isn't easy. I believe we're each here for a reason--something we've come to explore and something we've come to share through living our unique lives. We do this through our multidimensional bodies, and when we tend our own pain points and expand upon what's working well, it ripples out. I believe this ripple can help create a kinder more just world.

I love sharing precise and subtle forms of bodywork and energy work. My way of seeing is honed through my training in Traditional East Asian Medicine, Sports Medicine/Orthopedic Acupuncture, trauma resolution bodywork, polyvagal theory, pre/perinatal development, ancestral healing, mediumship, theater and dance.

Some of my favorite ways to find balance are walks through the woods, hearty laughter and watching binge-worthy tv. 

How I Came to this Work

In my early 20s I was diagnosed with a debilitating chronic pain condition. Needing relief and unsure how I'd enjoy life again, I saw a lot of doctors and explored many different kinds of treatments. In the process, I was inspired to study some of them. Now, over two decades later, I'm grateful to the many clients who have shared their healing path with me. 

I've always been a deeply sensing person, curious about the world and people. Curious about the flow of creativity and life itself. I've often felt like a round peg in a square hole, and often between worlds. 

My own healing process hasn't been straight forward. There wasn't a quick fix. There have been flare ups and backslides. Yet over time, I began to piece and weave together what my body needed. And I started to listen to what I truly need as well. This has brought happy surprises along the way, too. It's an evolving process. I'm grateful for the support and access to gifted healers, helpers and communities of care along the way. 

I have come to trust:

  • My body is wise and complex. It is a compass. It is a portal to all I've lived and to my ancestors. 
  • Health is a dynamic, evolving process and not a finish line
  • There are many factors that influence and support our wellbeing--from the physical to the metaphysical, personal and collective, seen and unseen (yet felt).

It's my intention to share healing processes that cultivate insight and harmony for the benefit of our bodies, our lineages, and our communities.
