Mathilda MacMillan LAc. 
My name is Mathilda MacMillan and I am a licensed Acupuncturist. I began my journey in holistic medicine and first experienced acupuncture at the age of 12 years old. My mother took me in for treatments to help me through my own personal medical journey. This was the main catalyst into my career of becoming a holistic practitioner. I was immediately intrigued by all of the different and incredible modalities there are to the medicine – from cupping to herbs and of course the acupuncture itself. I was able to connect and see results from my treatments and there was no need in convincing me that Oriental Medicine was tried and true. My passion for the medicine took off and my decision to pursue it as a career was solidified when I first started working for Dr. Pendleberry in 2017. He is an amazing mentor and I am grateful to be able to learn and follow in his footsteps.
At my office, I am committed to providing holistic care to optimize an individual’s personal health and find a balance in one’s lifestyle. This is accomplished through use of acupuncture, cupping, heat therapy, gua sha, red light therapy, Chinese herbs, nutritional advice, and lifestyle changes. I treat a wide range of diseases and disorders for individuals of any age. Some examples include pain management, headaches, stress and anxiety, asthma, infertility, menstrual disorders, metabolic disorders, general fatigue and much more. My goal and mission is to assist in one’s health journey so that they may find balance and harmony in their lifestyle.

Olivia MacMillan, DAcHM, LAc
My name is Olivia MacMillan and I am a licensed Acupuncturist. I have known my entire life that my calling would be in the medical field. In highschool, as an athlete myself, I began to pursue sports medicine. I worked with athletes on the different sports teams at Agoura High School. Volunteering my time as a student athletic trainer with the football team, track team, water polo players etc. This is where my passion for working with athletes and sports injuries began. While going through college, I had a job at a Chiropractor’s office and Physical therap
y clinic learning more about musculoskeletal pathology and expanding my horizons past athletic training and into the possible other medical careers I could choose which ended up being traditional Chinese medicine.
Thankful for the blessings of life’s journey and mentoring with Dr. Pendleberry, I felt an instant connection to Traditional Chinese Medicine and how the mind, body, and spirit are intertwined through this medicine. The biggest draw for me was addressing the body as a whole with no set limitations.
At my office, not only do I treat sports injuries but I treat a wide variety of diseases and disorders of patients at any age. Some examples include pain management, headaches, stress and anxiety, menstrual disorders, sleep disorders, digestive problems, fatigue and many more. I use the modalities of traditional Chinese medicine to approach a patient’s entire health, including acupuncture, cupping, heat therapy, gua sha, red & NIR light therapy, PEMF, Chinese herbs, nutritional advice, and lifestyle changes. The goal is to enhance a patient’s life and create more peace within the body.
