Health Professionals in San Francisco, CA

Hi, I'm Brenna! I work with adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating, recovery from chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, body image concerns and wanting to be able to pursue health without obsession. It's common to be interested in or passionate about food, health, wellness exercise - but when those interests become inflexible, or don't allow for you to spend time and feel present doing other things that are important to you, it can be a sign to reach out.

Are you looking for an Alternative Health Care provider who will take the time to listen, and would truly like to help you? I am a California licensed acupuncturist with a PhD. in Oriental Medicine and a former clinical professor at the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences. I have been practicing Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture for over 20 years. I have developed very unique acupuncture techniques, which often allows you to feel results after only one visit.

My goal is to help you achieve quick relief from your pain and then to develop a strategy to stay pain free. This would often include specific exercises, dietary recommendations, and ergonomic recommendations. My ideal patient is anyone who wants to be and stay healthy. Neck/back pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, auto and work injuries and many other conditions are seen. I have been practicing for over twenty-five years.

I’m a licensed acupuncturist practicing in San Francisco, in lower Pacific Heights. I have a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and specialize in orthopedic acupuncture for chronic pain and acute injury. I also enjoy giving acupuncture facials. I'm in network with Cigna and accept many other out of network insurances. I have an apothecary and enjoy prescribing Chinese herbal remedies for many different conditions including pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety, etc.

I work with motivated and curious individuals looking to dive deep and investigate the root causes of digestive issues, acne and other skin problems, poor sleep, adrenal/sex/circadian hormone imbalances and blood sugar dysfunction. Healthy, gradual and sustainable improvements are prioritized over quick-fixes. My overarching goal is not only to find the root cause of imbalance, but to optimize your long term health by harboring intuition around nutrition and lifestyle practices so that you feel empowered and in control of your body, health and wellbeing.

Over the years, I developed a protocol for painlessly breaking unhealthy habits-eating too much sugar, late night eating, endless snacking, body bashing-with healthy habits, like craving vegetables, making better food choices, and honoring, respecting, and loving your body. I regard both nutrition and emotional health as the core of healthcare and focuses on nutritional and botanical interventions to support chronic, degenerative and auto-immune diseases, patients with cancer, energy and brain health challenges, food intolerances, chronic infections, as well as general disease risk prevention and optimal wellness.

I help women cut through toxic diet culture to discover how to refuel and find wellness while managing chronic disease. Using the "Mind Your Own Plate" philosophy, I've flipped the focus to encourage fueling your body with foods that promote your unique needs.

Everyone is welcome; concerns and conditions include women's health, digestive, pain management, or lifestyle/nutritional changes and advice.

I am a practitioner of traditional Japanese acupuncture and have studied extensively with master acupuncturist Koji Ichihashi of the Kurumadani School of Japan. Japanese acupuncture technique involves shallow insertion of very thin, delicate needles into points along the Meridians of the body. It is a relaxing spa-like treatment that is gentle and essentially pain free. This style incorporates medical Shiatsu massage while the needles are in the body. I give my patients self-care education, Qigong (energy movement), nutritional counseling and suggest Chinese herbal therapies and/or supplements in a nurturing environment.

I believe in an individualized, evidenced-based approach to nutrition. My passion is to help my clients achieve their goals and feel their best. Together, we will develop customized nutrition and lifestyle strategies to help you be the best version of you. We all want to look and feel our very best, and I am here to help you get there!

My name is Rocio Rodriguez. I have been working in the massage field for the last 16 years. Originally, I started off in college as a physical therapist major. I was introduced to massage and I was immediately drawn to the spiritual connection between mind and body, and as a result I actually went into the massage field. Massage therapy allowed me to develop a deep relationship with my clients in order to get a better understanding of their aliments. My massage practice is about helping the client heal physical and spiritual wounds.

I work with women to help them come into alignment with their own unique rhythm with food + weight. Over the past 7 years, I've developed a method called The Pleasure Eating Process which is a simple practice for developing the lifelong skill of leading a pleasurable and easeful relationship with food + body.

When clients come to see me, many of them are struggling with mental health concerns, digestive issues, and a poor sense of health. Many have had a recent mental or digestive health diagnosis that feels challenging and like they have little guidance on how to move forward. My goal is to provide you with the latest evidence-based tools so you can tune back into your body and start making decisions that meet your actual needs, while providing a clear path towards improved health. My anti-diet, "all-foods-fit" approach allows flexibility versus rigidity, leading to long lasting behavior change & better relationship to food.

I do not simply attempt to treat symptoms, nor do I treat diseases. I treat people. My focus in practicing TCM is holistic; I seek to understand the entire person and the health pattern they have. As you will hear in the testimonial videos on my website, the feedback I get from my patients speaks not only to the effectiveness of my treatments in getting the results they need, but to the safety, comfort and ease they feel when they come in for their appointments. I am interested in being my patients’ partner in meeting their complete health goals.

Being a Western medical doctor first and then also a Chinese medical doctor, I have practiced integrative Western and Chinese medicine for over 30 years in hospitals in China before coming to the US as a visiting professor at UCSF and a professor at Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College Berkeley and practicing in my private TCM practice. With over 50 years of extensive Western and Chinese medical experience, compassion, caring, and a holistic approach, I have successfully helped many patients with various health challenges including difficult cases that could not be helped with only Western medicine.
