Holistic, Drug-Free Chinese Medicine in San Rafael
We begin with a free consultation to understand your health concerns, answer your questions, and make sure we’re the right fit. If you decide to move forward, we’ll create an individualized treatment strategy built around four proven natural therapies — all designed to help your body do what it does best: heal itself.
Gentle Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a remarkably powerful way to activate your body’s own healing process. By working with the organs, connective tissues, and hormonal systems, it promotes balance and repair at every level — right down to the cellular. It’s natural medicine that works with your body’s innate intelligence, not against it.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine does something conventional treatments rarely can: it both addresses the condition and strengthens the body at the same time. This dual action makes it especially effective for chronic and long-standing health issues.
Stress Reduction
A calm nervous system has a cascade effect on your whole body — your digestion, hormones, immune response, and circulation all benefit. The result is less inflammation, better blood flow, and a body that’s better equipped to heal.
Nutritional Therapy
When your cells, glands, and tissues get exactly what they need, your body’s key systems run the way they were designed to. You feel better because you are better — not just managing symptoms.
Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, anxiety, arthritis, or chronic illness conditions—our natural treatments can help you find lasting relief.
Why Our Treatment Is So Popular
More powerful than you'd expect
Your body has a remarkable capacity to heal — especially when supported by the right nutrition and targeted natural therapies. We’ve witnessed this again and again in clinic over 16 years.
Painless procedures
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin, and they cause no pain because they are razor sharp.
Feel a difference after your very first visit
Many patients notice a positive shift after just one session. Acupuncture is a potent trigger for endorphin release — the body’s most powerful natural relaxant.
Results that stick
The vast majority of patients don’t need long-term maintenance. Once their condition is resolved, it stays that way. Our goal is to get you to the point where you don’t need us!
We treat you, not your diagnosis.
Results vary, of course, but over 75% of our patients report improvement in symptoms after just a few sessions and many are able to reduce their medication use (under supervision by the prescribing physician) as their bodies begin to function at a higher level. However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.
No extreme diets or impossible detox programs
We focus on the two or three key dietary shifts that will actually make a difference for you. No rigid meal plans, no crash detoxes — just practical changes that fit your real life.
Minimal disruption to your schedule
Most of our patients are able to get great results with once-weekly visits. We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation.
Your initial consultation is free. Come meet us in person and learn more.
Our Process Is Simple
1
Free Initial Consultation
At your free initial consultation you’ll meet with your clinician to discuss your concerns including current symptoms, medical history, any medications you’re taking, and most importantly your goals. We want to be certain that our program is going to meet your needs and that there is a high probability of success for you – before we move forward to the next step.
2
Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan
At your intake appointment, your clinician will do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history, and other factors to determine the root cause of your issue and devise a specific plan of action. Your first acupuncture session will be performed at this time, and you will be given a treatment plan with exact, easy-to- follow instructions.
3
Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution
You’ll return for regular visits to continue supporting your body as it responds to treatment. We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results. You’ll receive acupuncture and any other appropriate treatment at each visit to ensure that your progress is cumulative and your concerns are resolved as soon as possible.
Transitional Care - Care That Extends Beyond
Once we see consistent improvement, we’ll gradually reduce visit frequency — typically after 8–12 sessions. You’ll move from weekly to every other week, then monthly, and eventually you won’t need regular treatment at all. We’ll always be here for a tune-up or if new concerns arise, but our goal is simple: to get you to the point where you don’t need us.
Taking Care Of Your Friends and Loved Ones
We pride ourselves on the fact that 80% of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work. So, we very much look forward to helping YOUR friends, family, and loved ones on THEIR journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life.
