Our practitioners’ gentle acupuncture methods come from Kiiko Matsumoto’s style, a palpation based acupuncture. Channels and other reflex zones in the hara (our torso energy center) are palpated to find areas of pain, stagnation, and sensitivity.

Our practitioners’ gentle acupuncture methods come from Kiiko Matsumoto’s style, a palpation based acupuncture. Channels and other reflex zones in the hara (our torso energy center) are palpated to find areas of pain, stagnation, and sensitivity. After a combination of points are chosen for treatment, these reflection zones become less painful and inflamed. This allows both the patient and the acupuncturist to have immediate feedback on how well the treatment is working right then on the table. This hands-on approach for diagnosing and treating not only works well for nervous system and musculoskeletal conditions, but also internal medicine issues such as adrenal fatigue, autoimmune conditions, and systemic inflammatory concerns. This acupuncture style allows for a truly holistic diagnosis also taking into consideration how emotions and stress are impacting your physical body.

Rebecca’s main wish is to help others hold their difficulties with ease and aid them in finding more body awareness and longevity of life. She is passionate about finding the root cause of a health concern and also takes into consideration the emotional well-being of all her patients. Educating others and helping them find a healing path is her primary goal at Golden Point Acupuncture founded in 2010.

With 20 years of experience in western and eastern medicine, Rebecca brings an integrative approach to health and healing. She has a background as a healthcare consultant and a degree in medical microbiology and immunology along with a masters in traditional Chinese medicine. She studied both in San Francisco at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Zhejiang Medical University Hang Zhou, China. She holds both a California state license and national license to practice acupuncture. She currently practices the Kiiko Matsumoto method, the primary acupuncture style taught at Harved Medical school.

Over her lifetime she has acquired a vast understanding of meditation practices and somatic tools through 3 decades of performance and study in dance, qi gong, Buddhist and Taoist philosophies, and meditation. She guides and teaches meditation for gatherings at the clinic. Her personal life intentions have become the backbone of compassionate care she strives to impact our healthcare system with every day.
