Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, Licensed Acupuncturist, Diplomate of Oriental Medicine, & Certified Massage Therapist
Michael has over a decade of experience caring for patients from a variety of demographics. He began his healing journey as a Certified Massage Therapist in 2010 at the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB), where he learned different bodywork modalities like the commonly known Swedish and deep tissue style massages. During his massage training at IPSB, he studied more unique bodywork styles like Lomi Lomi (Hawaiian style massage), traditional Thai massage, Tui Na (Chinese Medical Massage), deep tissue sculpting, and various others. After working as a certified massage therapist for several years Michael felt that he could do more for his patients.
In 2015 he enrolled at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine-San Diego (PCOM) to achieve a Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine. At PCOM, Michael studied the many different applications of traditional Asian medicine through acupuncture and herbal medicine. During his studies, Michael interned in specialized shifts treating the elderly, male and female reproductive health, HIV patients, mental/emotional conditions, and substance-use disorders. He also learned new and effective ways to treat musculoskeletal aches and pains. After completing the program Michael became a nationally certified acupuncturist by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and achieved his California acupuncture licence from the California Acupuncture Board.
Wanting to continue his learning to provide the best possible care for his patients, Michael enrolled and earned his Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the Pacific College of Health and Science.
He now puts his experience into practice to understand the needs of each individual he treats and is always learning new ways to provide the best possible care.
