Specialties
We provide acupuncture and herbal medicine for the treatment of acute and chronic disease, everything from the common cold and sinus infections to the wide range of inflammatory diseases: osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and auto-immune conditions. Treatment of pain, whether for headaches or muscle and joint pain, is also a daily occurrence in our clinic.
Women's health is also a specialty, whether you are seeking relief from pre-menstrual symptoms, are trying to get pregnant, or are struggling to find an easier path through menopause. We work together in helping you to make the best lifestyle choices.
Maintaining resilience in the face of life's challenges, physical and emotional, is one clear goal of acupuncture. Acupuncture serves to promote vitality, sustain health, boost the immune system and maintain optimal physical balance.
History
Established in 1994.
Upon graduating from Five Branches Institute in Santa Cruz and successfully passing the CA state licensing exam in 1994, I had the opportunity to join an established acupuncture clinic in Los Gatos. Since that time, I have worked together with Doc Mitchell, L.Ac., an excellent practitioner, and his wonderful wife, Sandy, who manages the front desk. During our years in practice together, we have enjoyed a harmonious working relationship. This sense of well-being is felt by our patients as they enter the clinic and let go the stresses of the day, Then, they are able to begin to focus their energies on healing, with the support of acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional counseling and our genuine regard for their best outcome.
Meet the Business Owner: Meredith B.
It has been my pleasure to serve the needs of my patients in this Los Gatos clinic since 1994. In addressing my patient's health concerns, I work in areas ranging from acute injuries to chronic pain and disease. An area of particular interest is women's health through all the phases of a woman's life, from onset of menstruation to menopause and beyond.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, I graduated from Santa Clara Univ. with a degree in Chemistry. Whereas many of my fellow students pursued careers in allopathic medicine or pharmaceuticals, I eventually returned to one of my earlier interests: the healing power of herbs. This opened the door to the study of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, with a long and rich clinical history and much to offer in the current day.
