Holistic Care for Body, Mind, and Spirit

Jon’s approach goes beyond physical pain by creating space for emotional integration and energetic recalibration, addressing the often unseen emotional and energetic layers of chronic pain. His treatments help:

  • Restore balance and regulate the nervous system

  • Reduce stress and tension

  • Support the body’s innate healing intelligence

  • Address associated sleep, digestive, or emotional concerns

Every patient receives a personalized treatment plan designed for meaningful relief, renewed vitality, and whole-body wellness. Complementary guidance may include Nutrition Therapy in Oakland or TCM Herbal Therapy to support holistic healing.

A Personal Journey to Healing

Jon’s path into acupuncture began in 2010, following a cancer diagnosis. Using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, he managed side effects like nausea, fatigue, disrupted sleep, and emotional stress. The treatments not only supported his physical recovery but also fostered spiritual grounding, emotional release, and a sense of presence—what he calls his “Dark Gift.”

This transformative experience inspired him to pursue acupuncture school in 2011. Since then, Jon has been committed to bringing healing, gratitude, and presence into every patient interaction.

Jon combines decades of practice and study in Eastern philosophy, Tai Qi, Qigong, meditation, and clinical acupuncture. His integrative approach emphasizes precision, personalization, and attunement to each patient’s unique needs, combining:
