Your Trusted Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine Provider in Oakland
As a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, I have dedicated my practice to providing integrative healthcare solutions since 2012. My approach combines classical Chinese medicine, Japanese acupuncture techniques, and modern neuroscience to address both acute and chronic conditions. Specializing in women's health, prenatal/postpartum care, and emotional trauma, I focus on restoring balance through personalized acupuncture and herbal treatments. My practice emphasizes patient empowerment through lifestyle guidance, including dietary recommendations and holistic wellness strategies. With advanced training in trauma therapies and medical anthropology, I address constitutional imbalances that underlie symptoms.My clinical experience includes roles as Clinic Director and Clinical Supervisor, ensuring high standards of care. I graduated from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and hold a Master's in Theater and a BA in Anthropology. My gentle, evidence-informed techniques cater to diverse health needs, from chronic pain management to immune system support. I maintain a patient-centered philosophy, tailoring each treatment to individual feedback through systematic palpation and pulse diagnosis. My practice reflects decades of combined experience in integrative medicine, prioritizing transparency, ethical care, and measurable outcomes.

Acupuncture
Precision acupuncture treatments address chronic pain, emotional trauma, and systemic imbalances through meridian regulation. Using ultra-fine needles, we restore Qi flow to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote natural healing. Each session includes personalized point selection based on real-time patient feedback.
Herbal Medicine
Customized herbal formulations treat digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and neurological conditions. We modify classical Chinese formulas to match individual constitutions, using concentrated extracts and capsules for convenient, effective treatment of chronic and acute health issues.
Women's Health
Specialized care for menstrual irregularities, fertility support, and menopausal transitions. Our integrative approach combines acupuncture with herbal protocols to regulate hormones, alleviate PMS symptoms, and provide comprehensive prenatal/postpartum support for optimal maternal health.
