Originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, her early interest in how the body functions naturally expanded into a broader exploration of consciousness and the unseen aspects of health- shaping her holistic perspective today.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in General Biology from East Carolina University in 2020, building a strong foundation in the sciences.
Feeling called toward a more integrative path, Dr. Naila followed that pull to Southern California, where she continued her studies in Eastern medicine. She graduated from Pacific College of Health and Science in 2025 with her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
Dr. Naila’s approach bridges ancient wisdom with modern understanding, making traditional practices both accessible and relevant. Her work is grounded in evidence-informed care while remaining open to the intuitive aspects of healing.
Her treatments are highly individualized and may include acupuncture, cosmetic treatments, auriculotherapy, scalp acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, herbal medicine, electrical stimulation, manual therapy, and gua sha.
Each session is designed to meet clients where they are, supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate, restore, and return to a state of wholeness.

Philosophy of care
How we do anything, is how we do everything.
At the heart of her practice is a simple intention- to assist people in reconnecting with their bodies and to develop a clear awareness of what balance feels like for them, in a world where disconnection has become so common.
Dr. Naila believes that clarity and vitality are intimately connected. The more lucid we become, the more deeply connected we are to our own consciousness, and the more intentionally we can direct our energy toward what nourishes life rather than what diminishes it.
Lucid exists to support this process—to create a space where healing becomes an opportunity for greater awareness, deeper alignment, and a more vibrant expression of who you truly are.
