About

Acupuncture is a subtle medicine that uses energetic pathways in the body to re-establish flow. Acupuncture channels relate to muscle groups, organ systems, blood, and lymph. Using these channels we can rebalance, reduce, or nourish specific areas. Acupuncture can be used in combination with medicinal herbs, or manual therapies such as cupping or gua sha. Some conditions that acupuncture can support are pain, headaches, gut issues, and hormonal health. It is also great for fertility and can help to supplement IVF therapy. Acupuncture treatments may include a variety of modalities including manual therapies like gua sha or tui na, nutrition support, or herbal medicine prescriptions.

Marion Dunham is a licensed acupuncturist and earned her degree from Emperor's College in Santa Monica, CA. Marion began her relationship with Traditional East Asian Medicine at a young age, finding support from acupuncture for childhood Bronchitis. When she met her mentor Angie Chen in in 2006 she learned about the benefits of foot reflexology and began to envision a career in the healing arts.
