Holly became an acupuncturist because of her own dramatic results as a patient of Chinese medicine in 1984. After seeing a stubborn health issue completely resolve with a few weeks of treatment, she was at once drawn to this ancient healing art. Even as a new patient she began to ask questions and ponder a profession in the healing arts. With an educational background in the arts and a professional background in business and sales Holly began her studies as a body worker at Body Mind College in 1989 and began professional practice within a year.

After several years in practice she enrolled at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (PCOM) in San Diego in 1993 for acupuncture and herbal medicine. Now a Master of Traditional Oriental Medicine (MTOM, ’98) she is licensed and certified in acupuncture, massage and herbal medicine both nationally (Dipl.Ac.) and in the state of California (L.Ac.). She enthusiastically continues her education in TCM and seeks to refine and polish her incredible variety of skills. She is passionate about her work and couldn’t be happier to be bringing the benefits of TCM to her community.

Her rich bodywork background naturally leads her to specialize in musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction of many kinds including injuries, osteoarthritis, fybromyalgia, TMJ, paralysis, neuropathies and post surgical pain. She also uses acupuncture, Chinese 5-element massage, and herbs to address anxiety, depression, and insomnia thereby reducing the need for medications in many of her patients. Her work offers an incredibly effective alternative to women with nearly any type of reproductive health issue including PMS, fertility, labor and delivery assistance and menopausal symptoms.
