Conejo Valley's Acupuncture Clinic
Dr. Nisan S. Cerami
"Sometimes the body is depleted and in need of nourishment. Sometimes it holds excess and longs to be unburdened. And sometimes, the body’s energy is simply entangled—waiting for a gentle invitation to let go and unfold."
– Nisan
Nisan S. Cerami, DAOM, LAc
Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine,
Licensed Acupuncturist, Massage Therapist
Nisan grew up here in the Conejo Valley and graduated from Thousand Oaks High School. She received both her MTOM (Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine) and DAOM (Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) from Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, CA. While fulfilling her clinical hours, Nisan completed internships at both the Roy and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center in Burbank, CA, and the Santa Monica Homeopathic Pharmacy as their onsite Chinese Medicine herbalist. She became a Licensed Acupuncturist in 2014, and in 2016, was the team acupuncturist for the Los Angeles Rams.
Her doctoral research focused on the efficacy of acupuncture in treating primary sleep disorders. Findings demonstrated that acupuncture is equally effective as commonly prescribed medications for insomnia—without the typical side effects. Notably, patients who received acupuncture continued to experience improved sleep for months after treatment ended, whereas those relying on medication often faced immediate rebound insomnia once the drugs were discontinued.
In 2020, Nisan closed her Westlake Clinic due to the Covid19 pandemic. Before reopening her own practice in 2022, she worked at a fertility specialty clinic in Beverly Hills.
Additionally, Nisan has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Emerson College in Boston Massachusetts, and completed a 300 hour certificate program in massage therapy at the Advanced School of Massage Therapy in Thousand Oaks, CA.
Nisan has been in private practice since 2014.
