Our practice offers a comprehensive suite of restorative therapies designed to address the complexities of modern health. Your journey begins with a private consultation, during which Dr. Rachel will conduct an intricate pulse diagnosis. By assessing the subtle qualities of the pulses on both wrists, she gains a clear map of your internal landscape identifying areas of stagnation, deficiency, or imbalance.

This diagnostic mastery allows Dr. Rachel to curate a treatment plan that is entirely bespoke, selecting from the following modalities to suit your body’s immediate and long-term needs:

• Acupuncture: Precise needle placement to calibrate the body’s energy and neurological response.

• Herbal Medicine: Custom-compounded formulas using high-grade botanicals to nourish and balance from within.

• Cupping: Deep-tissue decompression to release chronic tension and optimize circulation.

• Nutrition Therapy: Guidance on using food as medicine, tailored to your unique metabolic and energetic profile.

• Aromatic Therapy: The use of therapeutic-grade essential oils to support the limbic system and physical recovery.

• Mindfulness Therapy: Guided techniques to harmonize the mental state and reduce the impact of stress on the body.

• Structural Alignment: Specialized treatments focused on correcting postural imbalances and restoring musculoskeletal symmetry.

• Craniosacral Therapy: A gentle, hands-on approach to release tension in the central nervous system and fascia.

Every session is individually tailored, ensuring that your care evolves as you do.

Yes, we do. However, because every insurance policy is unique, we recommend verifying that your specific plan includes out-of-network coverage for acupuncture.

In most cases, insurance reimbursement typically begins once your annual deductible for the current year has been fully met. To ensure your experience is as seamless as possible, we suggest contacting your provider directly to confirm your benefits before your first visit. We are always happy to provide the necessary documentation to help you navigate your claims with ease.

Questions to ask your insurance provider:

• Does my plan include out-of-network benefits for acupuncture?

• What is my annual out-of-network deductible, and has it been met?

• What is my coverage for acupuncture?

• Is there a limit on the number of sessions allowed per year?

• What is my co-pay amount?

For the vast majority of our clients, acupuncture is a painless and deeply restorative experience. Many find the sessions so relaxing that they fall into a "needle nap" during their treatment.

The sensation you feel depends significantly on the technical mastery and experience of your practitioner. Because Dr. Rachel was raised in a lineage of Chinese Medicine and has over a decade of clinical practice, her needle technique is exceptionally refined and gentle.

Our goal is always your absolute comfort; if you have any sensitivities, Dr. Rachel will calibrate her approach to ensure your experience is as tranquil as it is effective.

To better serve our clients across California, we maintain two curated wellness spaces in San Diego and San Jose.
