We are Monica Walters, LAc, MSOM and Alan Worf, LMT, RYT: a husband and wife team passionate about health and wellness. With over a decade of practice experience, we combine acupuncture, massage, herbal medicine and yoga therapy to set our patients on a healing path. Monica holds an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley, a Masters from Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College Berkeley, and acupuncture licenses in the states of Oregon and Montana.
She works from a patient-centered, multi-system approach that draws upon Traditional Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine to create a truly integrative system of care. In the evaluation of each patient's health, she considers quantitative markers such as lab work and imaging, as well as genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Monica has embraced a focus on women's health, pregnancy, children and teens.
Her online courses on Chinese Medicine and holistic pregnancy care are due out this winter. Monica uses a Japanese style needle technique.

Acupuncture works by using hair-thin needles to access Qi (pronounced "chee") and help your body heal itself naturally.
Based on numerous studies, we have come to believe that the word "Qi" has been incorrectly translated as "energy"; and that a more accurate translation would be "circulation".
Proven to increase circulation and blood flow to specific areas of the body, circulation is the key to how acupuncture works.
With blood flow and circulation come all the other mechanisms your body has to heal itself - decreasing inflammation and pain, balancing hormones, and mobilizing your body's natural healing response to strengthen your immune system.
