Meet Our Team

All BAP acupuncturists have earned their Masters degree in Chinese Medicine and are fully licensed through the California Acupuncture Board. We work as a team to help you meet your health goals. We take careful notes every time so that at each appointment, no matter which practitioner you see, we can follow up with you to see how you felt after your last treatment as well as keep track of how you are progressing.
