About Us
Our Dedication to Root-Cause Healing
Once Hundred Roots is founded out of a dual passion: to provide a warm, therapeutic setting for patients seeking integrative oncology care and to apply East Asian medicine for preventative health and pain relief by addressing root causes.
At One Hundred Roots, our work is guided by a deep commitment to not just treating symptoms, but achieving profound and lasting health, because we know that feeling seen and supported is the first step toward true wellness.
“Healing Beyond Symptoms. Wellness From the Core.”
