At Santa Cruz CORE, we have a passion for what we do. We make an effort to spend significant time and energy with each patient to ensure their needs are met. For us, it’s more than just acupuncture; our acupuncturists work with multiple healing modalities during an acupuncture session to get you feeling better. Working to create positive change in the body, we use a combination of needling, moxa, gua sha, cupping, ear seeds, massage, and Tai Chi and Qi Gung. Each individual is treated as such, an individual with an unique body and we use our various tools to create the most healing we can in each session.

How do you want to feel on a daily basis? I can help guide you in right direction. As an acupuncturist, I focus on emotional health. The basis of my work is about moving energy, and releasing the energetic stagnation of negative emotions such as fear, anger, grief or stress. Blockages that could be preventing you from being filled with love and joy. Most of our physical pain stems from an emotional origin. Acupuncture sessions will help release blockages that could be the source of your disease. Treating the root creates a cascade of positive side effects in your life.
