NCCAOM-certified (#163403) DAOM practitioner, Lightbody Acupuncture in Point Loma, San Diego combines traditional Chinese medicine with trauma-informed somatic techniques from its Kenyon Street clinic. The practice's treatment protocols — acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and cosmetic acupuncture — address pain management through meridian-based and neurophysiological pathways that complement the spinal adjustment approach at Peninsula Chiropractic for patients with overlapping musculoskeletal complaints. Established in 2016 with prior practices in Maui and Encinitas, the clinic brings bilingual English-Russian fluency and cross-cultural training from indigenous healing traditions studied across Peru, Bali, India, and Hawaii. Women's health cases involving hormonal imbalance, fertility support, and menopause management follow a traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic framework — pulse and tongue reading — that coordinates with herbal medicine protocols at Cocora Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine when patients require concurrent formula-based treatment. The most intensive clinical work involves multi-session somatic trauma resolution — using acupuncture needle placement to discharge stored fight-flight-freeze responses from the nervous system while reprogramming cellular memory patterns through guided breathwork and visualization.
