Meet Tracy Christensen, a licensed acupuncturist and herbologist.

 

In her clinical practice, Tracy utilizes all aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) including acupuncture, herbal medicine, tui na, cupping, e-stim, and moxibustion. TCM techniques allow the body to restore balance and harmony, thus achieving optimal function. While western medicine is often reductionistic in approach, TCM views the body as a whole. Diagnosis is based on the conceptual framework of yin and yang, and the interconnectedness of the organ systems. One of the strengths of TCM is in the way it focuses treatment to address the underlying cause of the disease and disharmony.

​

Tracy has experience treating a wide variety of conditions, including musculo-skeletal, digestive and gastrointestinal diseases, autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, drug and alcohol addiction, and mental health conditions. She also has a special interest in lifestyle modification, focusing on plant-based nutrition and therapeutic exercise. 

​

After earning her BA in Psychology from University of CA in San Diego and a Master's degree from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 1999, Tracy attended the Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Jinan, PRC and completed the advanced study program. 

​

Tracy encourages her patients to be educated and active participants in their healthcare plan, ensuring long-term results and a better understanding of how to maintain health and well being.
