Your Trusted Acupuncturist in Berkeley, CA
As a licensed acupuncturist with over 25 years of experience in the San Francisco East Bay, I provide comprehensive care using acupuncture, Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM), and Functional Medicine. My approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health concerns rather than merely treating symptoms, which helps prevent chronic conditions and promotes lasting healing. I utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and nutritional supplements to create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. My practice combines ancient healing techniques with modern technology, including FDA-approved FSM equipment, to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. I hold certifications in Acupuncture Orthopedics and Frequency Specific Microcurrent, and I am board-certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists.

My commitment to patient-centered care has earned recognition from clients like Sophie Elliott, who describes feeling 'the healthiest I've ever been' after treatment, and Hillary Flowers, who experienced 90% improvement in postpartum plantar fasciitis within two weeks. I prioritize gentle, effective therapies, using ultra-thin needles for acupuncture and sub-sensory microcurrent levels that align with the body's natural electrical signals. My work with professional athletes and individuals alike demonstrates the versatility of these modalities in treating acute injuries, chronic pain, and systemic imbalances. By integrating diagnostic testing and evidence-based interventions, I help patients achieve optimal cellular function and overall vitality.

Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture restores bodily balance by strategically placing ultra-thin needles at specific points. This ancient practice reduces pain, lowers stress, and boosts immune function by stimulating energy flow. The World Health Organization recognizes its effectiveness for numerous conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain. Patients benefit from a gentle technique using cat-whisker-thin needles for minimal discomfort.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
This non-invasive electrotherapy uses low-level electrical currents to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. FDA-approved devices deliver sub-sensory microcurrents that mimic the body's natural electrical signals, enhancing cellular repair and pain relief. It effectively treats acute injuries, chronic pain, and nerve-related conditions by restoring normal cell membrane stability and increasing ATP production by up to 500%.
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine identifies underlying causes of chronic illness through comprehensive assessments. This approach examines how bodily systems interact, using science-based diagnostic testing to uncover imbalances. By addressing cellular dysfunction rather than symptoms alone, it enables targeted interventions like nutritional supplements and lifestyle changes to restore systemic harmony and prevent disease progression.
Diagnostic Testing
Advanced diagnostic testing evaluates how multiple body systems communicate to identify chronic illness triggers. These science-based assessments measure cellular function and biochemical imbalances, guiding personalized treatment plans. Testing helps determine optimal interventions like acupuncture, microcurrent therapy, or supplements to address specific deficiencies and improve overall physiological performance.
Nutritional Supplements
Targeted nutritional supplements support cellular healing alongside other therapies. These science-backed formulations address specific deficiencies identified through diagnostic testing, enhancing treatment outcomes. When combined with acupuncture and microcurrent therapy, supplements help restore metabolic balance, improve energy production, and strengthen the body's natural healing capacity for long-term wellness.
