Meet Dr. Cindy

Hi everyone,

It’s nice to have you here. I am grateful to be in my 20th year of practice! Over the years I have seen so many lives transform from the benefit of this powerful medicine.

My goal is for you to have a comfortable and pleasant experience with acupuncture. I employ compassionate, active listening skills and provide a nurturing, safe space for you emotionally and physically. I want to hear your health story and dig in with you to figure out your best treatment options.

I have lived in Ventura/Oxnard for most of my life, and raised 4 children in this area as well. My hobbies include reading, healthy cooking, yoga, pilates, live music, knitting, my poodles, and spending time with family and friends.

If you have any questions feel free to send me an email at
