Lila Babb, LAc, MS, RN

Lila Babb is a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist, and registered nurse. With over a decade of clinical experience and direct patient care, Lila has had the privilege of caring for thousands of patients in a variety of clinical settings, from mainstream Western medicine hospitals to community-centered Acupuncture and Herbal clinics.

For the bulk of her nursing career, Lila has worked as an Oncology nurse, with a special focus on Symptom Management and Palliative Medicine. She believes Chinese Medicine is a great modality for treating symptoms that may occur before, during, and after cancer treatment, including pain, nausea, fatigue, digestive complaints, psycho-emotional distress, and insomnia. Lila deeply admires Chinese Medicine’s strong emphasis on preventative medicine and the importance of daily practices such as movement, nutrition, and optimal rest to promote balance and maintain health.

Lila is dedicated to creating an environment where her patients feel heard, safe, and cared for with gentle compassion. Lila has received additional training in Applied Channel Theory and frequently incorporates channel palpation to help guide her treatments. In her free time, Lila loves swimming outdoors, finding a shady place to lie in the grass, and shaking it all out on the dance floor.
