Dry Needling will be done at our clinic only by a licensed acupuncturist who is also certified in dry needling. We believe dry needling certification is important because needling into deep muscles involves a higher risk of puncturing the lungs and arteries, and nerve damage. Your dry-needling therapists have gone through another year of training, passed many additional exams, learned anatomy and physiology to the point we know all muscle names and landmarks, got tested and passed on dry needling each muscle, and received approval to treat them safely. During your treatment, your therapist won't be seeing another patient, completely 1 on 1, and dedicate their attention to you 100%. Your safety is our priority.

(She/Her/Hers) LAC

I grew up in Southern Vietnam, where Vietnamese and Chinese herbal medicine and dietetics were essential to her upbringing. But it wasn’t until my older daughter was diagnosed with autism that I became interested in learning Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. >This excellent medicine has done a miracle for my daughter’s indigestion and insomnia.

I hope I can offer you the same effective care. I will listen carefully to your condition and create a practical treatment plan for your lifestyle. I’ll ensure you feel safe and well during treatment. >I will listen carefully to your condition and create a practical treatment plan for your lifestyle

I’d like to share a little bit about myself if you’re interested. Growing up, I competed in soccer, hacky sack, and martial arts, so I understand how important it is to keep our bodies strong and our muscles supple. I’ve been an avid rock climber indoors and outdoors for 18 years, teaching yoga for 14 years, and treating injuries and chronic pain for over 30 years using Shaolin martial arts channels and fascial techniques I learned from my master, Thay An (Teacher An).

I’m forever grateful for Thay An & Thay Kim, Steven Woodley, Sean Si, Julie Zhu, Nick Hancock, Robyn Sodders, Aaron Lee, Jamie Hampton, Josh Lerner, and many more, who have taught me almost everything I know. My father, who passed away, advised me from a young age that >when I become a doctor, I should treat patients from the heart and never nurture illness.

You wouldn’t believe how many times my dad went to see a doctor and came home with medication that had their package removed, so he had to come back week after week for a refill instead of buying it directly from the pharmacy. My mission is to get you well and send you back out to the world of joy, family, and friends. Please don’t go and party too hard, though.

As much as I love seeing you seven days a week (I really do!), I take much-needed time off Saturday and Sunday to be with my young daughters (9yo Sydney and 4yo Emily). They grow up too fast! I love food and coffee very much.

I specialize in pelvic health, neuropathy, pain and aches during pregnancy, and chronic fatigue.

Dr. Deanna Shinsky

Hello!

I’m Deanna Shinsky. I am a California Board Licensed Acupuncturist and Nationally Certified Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Practitioner. I earned my Masters and Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University in San Jose, California. I have a Bachelor of Science in Cognitive Science with a specialization in Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego.

From a young age, I recognized that suffering is not arbitrary but rather a signal of underlying imbalances that need to be addressed. This realization led me to pursue a career in Chinese medicine, where I have found the tools to guide individuals towards the root causes of their ailments and offer holistic healing solutions. I am committed to helping my patients tap into their body’s innate healing abilities and empowering them to take charge of their well-being.

I am dedicated to providing personalized care that addresses the unique needs of each patient, drawing upon the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine to promote healing on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.

Beyond my dedication to health and wellness, I am passionate about exploring diverse interests such as Crossfit, acting, theatre, improv, and travel, which enrich my life and contribute to my well-rounded perspective.
