Aloha! Welcome to Liven Health and Wellness, a dedicated clinic with a passion for empowering individuals to take control of their health. We take a holistic approach to wellness and we have expertise trained in both allopathic/conventional and alternative natural therapies. Dr. Castillo aims to guide her patients towards optimal health by addressing the root causes of their health concerns and providing personalized treatment plans. We offer a free 15-minute Meet and Greet consultation to learn more about our services and to find out if our clinic is the right fit for you (note- this is not an appointment to discuss all your health history).
"As a physician, my greatest reward comes from seeing a smile back on my patient's face from relieving a scruciating migraine, being able to lift an arm or simply being able to walk again without discomfort or pain. For those of us who have not experienced injuries or health concerns that left us debilitated for months or years, it is hard to imagine what these individuals deal with on a daily basis. The things we take for granted such as being able to walk (mobility), eat, and clothe ourselves without pain are a challenge to these individuals. For many, there is the embarrassment of asking someone for help when we need. With Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine, there is hope and I can help explain the root cause of your symptoms in simple terms and help you improve your quality of life and welfare." -Dr. Castillo, NMD, MSTOM, LAc, Dipl
