Who we are

 

We are a group of professional alternative health practitioners with graduate degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This is a four-year graduate training with an additional 1,000 hours of clinical experience. We have been licensed by the California Acupuncture Board as Licensed Acupuncturists, and by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) as Diplomates in Oriental Medicine (Dipl. O.M.). In addition, we have been trained by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) on the use of the NADA protocol to treat behavioral health conditions such as addictions, stress, and emotional trauma. We have also successfully completed the Clean Needle Technique training, a skill that is expected while doing mobile acupuncture, and we each have a minimum of 5 years of experience in private practice. 

 

What we do

 

We diagnose and treat patients based on a medicine that has been around for over 3,000 years, we do it under the guidelines and regulations put forth by the California Acupuncture Board, and we do it at your office. A treatment doesn’t necessarily have to involve needles. An herbal treatment, in some cases combined with other TCM modalities, can be very effective.

 

Why we do it

 

We do it because of 3 main reasons; first, we understand that stress causes physical damage to the body and that employee stress is being recognized as a major drain on corporate productivity, so we want to help these people and the companies that they work for. Second, we believe that by bringing the medicine to the workplace, and making it more accessible, employees will seek help more often and become healthier sooner than if they had to seek help outside. Third, we believe in the power of preventive medicine and in the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine.
