welcome to cicuto acupuncture

Like a detective solving mysteries, I use my skills as an acupuncturist, herbalist, and alchemist to uncover the blocks that are in the way of your healing.

Spirit Babies Pregnancy Loss Ceremonies is a new offering in my practice that I am honored to share with you.
In Chinese Medicine, the Metal element helps us appreciate what is precious to us and grieve that which we have lost. Spirit Babies ceremonies offer those who have experienced pregnancy loss a chance to work through their grief by honoring themselves, spirit babies, and one another.

Inspired by social justice activists in the Black Lives Matter movement, I created a course about how the gifts of Traditional Chinese Medicine can help nourish and support people while they do the work of changing the world.
Please share this course with your friends, family, and colleagues. They can join for $50 using this link.
This course is pending approval for Continuing Education Units with both NCCAOM and the California Acupuncture Board.
HEALING IS A GATEWAY TO WHOLENESS
You want to live your fullest life. But in order to do that you need a real and lasting solution for the pain that is getting in your way.
The problem is . . . you’ve probably tried conventional treatments and nothing seems to be working. Which makes you feel like something is missing.
I believe in a holistic approach to wellness, treating the “whole” human being, not just the disease or condition.
I know how it feels to have pain get in the way of living. I lived with a painful gynecological condition for too long that left me in pain, curled up on the couch or groggy with painkillers. Not an ideal way to live. That was until a friend introduced me to acupuncture that healed my debilitating condition and literally changed my life! (Read more about that miraculous serendipity here)
That’s why for the past 15 years I’ve dedicated my heart and time to helping you uncover the root cause of your pain and help you heal on a soul level.
I use the five elements as a guide that shows how healing is connected to and reflected by the natural world around us. With acupuncture and other Traditional Chinese treatments, such as cupping, moxibustion and gua sha, we seek to restore the natural flow of your body and return it to its natural state of harmony.
