Dr. Atil Narayan, DACM, L.Ac.
Doctor/Chief Executive
Hi, I’m Dr. Atil. My journey into natural medicine began in 1993.
It started with an interest in Asian and Native American philosophies. It evolved into the formal study of Chinese medicine resulting in a Master’s degree and then, ultimately, a doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
I founded Natural Wonders Healthcare, a multi-disciplinary wellness clinic specializing in acupuncture, massage, herbal remedies, and IV Infusion therapy. I’ve performed over 20,000 acupuncture treatments and have been acknowledged for my dedication and commitment to acupuncture by Gil Cedillo, 46th District Representative of the California State Assembly.
Under my leadership, Natural Wonders Healthcare has grown into a thriving natural pain management and wellness clinic serving West Covina and surrounding San Gabriel Valley communities.
I’ve been featured on KKLA 99.5 fm radio shows Doc Talk with Rachel Grace and Aging Powerfully with Jason Vallejos. I am also a huge proponent of natural medicine. Being an adjunct professor at Pacific College of Health and Science, San Diego, I have the privilege of helping shape a brighter future for healthcare.
Providing natural healing using acupuncture, cupping, far infrared heat, gua sha, salves, and herbs to help my patients obtain mind/body healing is one of the greatest joys of my life. Being able to work with a caring team makes it sweeter.
In my personal life, I love spending time with my wife, conversing about virtually everything and relishing the flavors of different foods. I’m a dad to 2 daughters who I absolutely adore. They have pet goats, chickens, and rabbits. I also enjoy gardening as a source of exercise, learning, and peace.

Dr. Salinla Ounsakulseree, DACM, L.Ac., MSOM
BOARD LICENSED ACUPUNCTURIST
Hi, my name is Salinla. I am a California board-licensed Acupuncturist.
I became part of the Natural Wonders Healthcare team in November 2019. As a young girl, I always dreamed of working in healthcare services to help others in need.
I was initially a biochemistry student who believed Western medicine has a lot of benefits and later realized that there are some underlying concerns since it depends heavily on pharmaceutical drugs. I became interested in natural remedies and the Eastern approach to medicine after taking several classes about herbs and acupuncture theory.
I was inspired by the concept of natural healing, which resulted in a Masters’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine then a doctorate in Asian medicine from Pacific College of Health & Science.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, eating and trying food at new places. I also love to paint; it’s a great way to relieve stress and work on my artistic side.
Dr. Andrew Gomez, DC
Chiropractor
Hello, my name is Dr. Andrew Gomez, and I am a California Board licensed Chiropractor.
I am also a certified Corrective Exercise Specialist.
Prior to becoming a doctor of Chiropractic, I received my Associates and Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise science. Initially I wanted to become a Physical Therapist and help those who received injuries during high school sports, much like myself. I wrestled in High School and had my fair share of neck and shoulder injuries. I know what pain feels like.
Eventually I branched out towards Chiropractic due to its expertise in spinal and extremity manipulations and pain relief. Together with the knowledge gained from both professions I have the skillset to help those of all ages with spinal manipulations, muscle testing, exercise/rehab, nutrition, and many other modes of healing.
During my free time, I enjoy listening to music, going out for a movie, or hanging out with friends and family.
Christal Parker, NP, MSN, APRN
NURSE PRACTITIONER
Hello, I am Christal. I am a board-licensed Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of professional experience as an ER nurse in critical care settings.
As a Level 11 trauma center support staff, my RN duties involved caring for patients who have undergone cardiac, cardio-thoracic, transplants, intubations, vascular, oncology, plastics, and other major procedures.
While my core training and background are in emergency medicine, I have developed a particular interest in natural and preventive medicine in recent years. In association with Dr. Atil and Dr. Naomi, I took part in developing the IV Nutrition & Hydration therapy program at Natural Wonders Healthcare. It’s designed to reduce pain and inflammation, optimize athletic performance, and restore optimal functioning at the cellular level.
In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and cooking and trying new recipes. I enjoy working out and traveling!
Yvonne
CLINIC DIRECTOR
Hi, I’m Yvonne, and I have been part of the Natural Wonders Healthcare family since 2016.
I have been involved in natural medicine my whole adult life. In the past, I’ve managed the front and back offices for busy, heart-centered chiropractic doctors. I took some time off to raise my son and daughter. When they got older, I was able to return to an industry I’m passionate about.
Natural Wonders Healthcare was a perfect fit for me. It is thrilling to be part of such a dedicated team. Every day we are committed to improving our patients’ health so they can live a better life.
In my personal life, I enjoy dabbling with aromatherapy, tending to my plumeria collection (I have over 100 plants!), and trying to create memorable experiences for my family.

Flor Aguirre
FRONT OFFICE
Hello, my name is Flor Aguirre. I am part of the Front Office support staff.
My journey at Natural Wonders Healthcare has been very eye-opening. I never really thought of how natural medicine and remedies could really impact the lives of people until I started working here. It has been heartwarming and inspiring to see how our patients appreciate the healing process they go through.
I am currently a student at the California State University of Fullerton and majoring in Biology with a concentration in molecular biology. I hope to keep learning and gaining more knowledge about natural medicine.
In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my son, who is a French bulldog named Fabo. I love going out to try new foods and also enjoy being outdoors. I have been a pescatarian for over a year, so trying new foods that include different types of fish is always interesting. Lastly, I will never say no to going to the beach or hiking. I also hope to travel more by the time I finish school.

I am a medical front office support staff specializing in medical coding and billing. Working at this clinic has been life-changing. I’ve gained a lot of personal and professional knowledge about natural health.
Hearing from our patients about how herbs and acupuncture helps is so satisfying. Nobody wants to feel uncomfortable in their own body, and knowing they leave here with ease and relief is fantastic. I learn so much from our staff and also our patients. Working with a dedicated and supportive team is empowering.
In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my silly son, making new or re-creating recipes (obsessed with my instant pot), going for long hikes, and going to Zumba (I love to dance!).
