Dr. SERENA MA

Dr. Serena Ma is the owner and founded Serenity Natural Health in 2007. She considers herself a general practitioner, offering personal insights to issues such as stress, dermatology, gynecology, asthma/allergies, and pregnancy. She enjoys working with all her patients but is especially inspired by her cancer patients. She currently geeks out to the microbiome and talks about that with all of her patients.

Dr. Serena Ma loves her student-teacher roles. She attended Bastyr University, graduating with her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine (ND) and Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MSAOM) and received special training in oncology and dermatology. Before medical school, Dr. Serena attended Boston University and graduated pre-med with honors from Sargent College with a degree in Human Physiology. After college, she learned about Sleep Medicine and what effects the circadian rhythm, as a research assistant at the Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston. She finds the human body and how it functions extraordinary, eagerly studying it for most of her life. Dr. Serena is a former professor of Biochemistry at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. Nowadays in practice, she appreciates her doctor as teacher job by enthusiastically educating her patients about their health. She finds that she learns just as much from her patients.
