Our Mission & Vision

What we believe, and how we try to practice it at every visit.

Our Mission

We help people stuck in pain, stress or a stalled recovery get their spark back, with unhurried acupuncture and custom herbal medicine that goes after the source, explained in plain language and planned with you the way a good coach plans with an athlete.

For athletes & active people

Coach-minded acupuncture and herbal medicine for people who refuse to stay sidelined by pain, poor sleep or burnout.

Back to nature, back to human.

We see a world where daily life feels like surfing, not an emergency: people in flow with their bodies through every stage of the ride, connected to their food, their medicine, their families, their communities and the earth, and never asked to trade any of those for a shortcut.

“Back to nature, back to human, that is the answer. We need modern medicine in emergencies, but daily life should not be treated as an emergency. Daily life should feel like surfing.”
Matthew Sabey Smith, DACM, L.Ac.

BEET what's holding you back.

Four promises we keep at every visit.

Bespoke

Your points, your herbs and your plan are chosen for you and adjusted as you change.

Custom formulas in teas, tinctures or granules from suppliers that test for identity, purity and contaminants; reviewed against your medications.

Elevated

Doctoral-level training, the right tools, and the time to understand why you feel this way.

90-minute first visit, 60-minute follow-ups; acupuncture, electroacupuncture, laserpuncture, cupping, gua sha, tui na, dry needling and ear protocols; coordination with your other providers.

Empowering

You'll know what we're doing, why, and what to do between visits.

Nearly 20 years coaching athletes; six years teaching graduate students; clear goals and checkpoints; qigong and breathing homework.

Transparent

You know what care costs before you commit.

Prices published online; packages refunded pro rata if you stop; visits never expire; HSA/FSA cards and superbills accepted.
