Our Services

Welcome to Black Lotus Clinic

At Black Lotus Clinic, we believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself—when given the proper support. Our clinic is built on this foundational principle, offering holistic care that empowers the body’s natural healing processes.

All of our clinicians are certified clinical herbalists with diverse experience in addressing a wide range of health concerns and wellness goals. We operate as a collaborative team, sharing case files and insights in a round-table approach. This ensures that each client benefits from the collective expertise of our entire team, providing the highest quality of care.

Working with one of our herbalists means receiving personalized, custom-crafted medicine. Every tailored herbal formula begins with a minimum 20-minute consultation. When you purchase a session voucher, you're not only investing in the consultation time—you’re also covering the in-depth review of your health history, the design of a customized formula, and a complete wellness plan. This includes dietary guidance and holistic health coaching, all offered as part of a comprehensive care package.

We believe holistic remedies can make a powerful difference in supporting health and achieving wellness goals. However, we are not medical doctors (MDs), and we strongly encourage clients to consult a physician for any life-threatening or advanced medical conditions before beginning care with us. Our team is well-versed in interpreting lab results, test reports, and collaborating with medical professionals. We’re happy to work alongside other healthcare providers, as we recognize the value of integrative approaches and believe every modality has merit.

At Black Lotus Clinic, your well-being is our top priority. We leave no stone unturned in helping you achieve optimal health—naturally.

Thank you for choosing Black Lotus Clinic.

Your professional made custom medicines await.

  • Integrative Healing Arts Practitioner

    Arin is a healing arts practitioner who blends embodied wellness, social care, and holistic transformation into every facet of her work. A licensed Reiki and Massage Therapist with over a decade of experience, Arin has supported clients across the United States both in-person and virtually in reconnecting with their bodies, intuition, and innate capacity to heal.

    Arin weaves healing into systems of care—currently working alongside elders and individuals with mental, physical, and intellectual disabilities to access vital resources with dignity.

    Arin’s pathway to finding her own physical, mental, and spiritual well-being has deepened her commitment to holistic living. Herbal medicine, energy work, movement, and creative ritual became not only tools of recovery but pathways to liberation. These practices now form the heart of her offerings—empowering others to reclaim wellness through grounded, heart-led living and embracing the idea to "live inside out". Arin’s mission is to help others build bridges—back to themselves, to one another, and to their own unique, authentic expressions of healing.
