Classical Five Element Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of healing known to mankind, dating back to ancient China nearly 5000 years ago. Five Element Acupuncture was first recorded in what is called the Nei Ching, or the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine. Today, the Nei Ching is still the foundation of all Chinese Medicine.
Acupuncture treatment assists nature in healing by balancing Qi (pronounced chee) energy. Qi is the vital energy that flows throughout the body within fourteen special pathways called meridians. Each meridian supplies Qi for specific organs and functions. Too little or too much energy in a pathway will create an imbalance in this system and eventually lead to dysfunction in the body, mind or spirit.
How I came to be an acupuncturist was not exactly a straight line. I have followed my heart time and time again gathering a very diverse set of experiences that led me to study the most beautiful form of medicine I know. Though a confluence of brilliant teachers and opportunities, I decided to spend the rest of my life learning and practicing a medicine that encompasses the full breadth and depth of human experience.
I believe wholeheartedly in our innate ability to heal ourselves. This is the essence of my practice, to support healing. I use acupuncture, medical qigong, Qigong Meridian Therapy, Wu Ming Qigong, as well as breath and mindfulness practices to help us reconnect to our innate healing ability.

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power. — Lao Tzu

I have practiced Acupuncture and Qi Gong for more than two decades. Over the past several years, I’ve added Medical Qi Gong and essential oils to my practice. Both are components of ancient Asian healing systems. They offer gentle ways to untangle troublesome symptoms and create ‘take-home’ practices to further the benefits of treatments. I often describe Qi Gong as ‘DIY Acupuncture’ or ‘Medicinal Movement.’ Easy to learn, fun to do, highly beneficial — and economical! Continue reading “Cynthia Zanti Jabs”
Diana’s eclectic life experiences have been motivated from the beginning by a deep curiosity to discover or uncover what is true and what is real.
In her youth she was a gymnast, performed in a circus, studied dance and practiced yoga and mind training fundamentals. She has traveled extensively in the South Pacific, Asia, the Caribbean and in the West. Diana’s early academic experience focused on the study of language, symbolism and culture, which led to an early career in the arts. She then worked on sailboats, including some lengthy transoceanic crossings, and later became part of a care-giving team at the Zen Hospice Project during the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco, CA. More recently, Diana completed training as a Death Doula with Alua Arthur’s program Going With Grace.
I was drawn to Five Element acupuncture because it reflects my love of the natural world. There is a beauty and rhythm to the cycles of nature, and the same is so for the human being. The human being is much like a garden, and just as a garden suffers when the sun, rain, soil, nutrients and loving care are missing or are out of balance, the body, mind and Spirit suffer when they are not fed and tended properly. Acupuncture can assist in bringing back harmony and balance to the human garden. Continue reading “Dixie Mullineaux”

Katherine Dunn M.Ac., Dipl.Ac. Acupuncturist and Meditation Teacher
As an acupuncturist, meditation teacher, and artist my most essential goal is to help reveal the still, unchanging essence within each person and all of life, often referred to as the Inner Self. It is spacious, luminous, and free of suffering. This all-pervasive consciousness brings us clarity of vision, authentic relationship, and a creative oneness with everything in life. When we live from deep within this natural awareness we create a state of peace, health, and joy. Continue reading “Katherine Dunn”
