Acupuncture is a Unique Experience.

Acupuncture is a unique experience. It is an inner journey.

Our beautiful clinic serves as a sanctuary, a temple to this ancient lineage; an oasis of tranquility and peace in the heart of San Diego. We have created a warm, intimate and exclusive space to provide treatments practiced at the highest level. You will experience the difference.

At the heart of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is the understanding that many ailments which people suffer from today are the product of emotional and psychological distress as much as any physical cause.

The Aim of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is not only to discover the cause of the complaint and provide support for that imbalance, but for each individual to discover a greater sense of self-awareness, to find lifetime tools of self-discovery and to live life to its fullest. Health and longevity are natural benefits to those who follow their path toward self-realization.

We understand that good health depends on a sense of freedom, and a spiritual freedom to be who we are, to grow and develop as nature intended and to contribute to the world as no other living being can do.

You are unique, and the treatments you receive will be unique to you and your personal needs.

Our philosophy and practice is based on a foundation of clinical experience, blending Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, lifestyle and diet recommendations, talk therapy, and the invaluable experience of working with a diversity of patients.

We have created a unique style of practice that not only helps people with emotional and physical difficulties but also realizes and develops one's greatest potential in all levels of life.

"There is “something” far beyond our knowledge of all medical theories; it is that “something” I seek. In one sense, like the Tao, once we speak of it, we have lost all meaning of it. So, that which I attempt to speak of is hidden within that silent moment when needle touches the Qi, the life-force. Yet, that which I speak of lays hidden even further than this, it is the spark behind the life-force in which I speak. This spark is the Divine Qi, which I call the Healer."
