Acupuncture

Monterey Natural Wellness offers personalized acupuncture within an integrative medical practice, supporting women’s health, fertility, mood, stress, pain, and overall wellness.

Acupuncture is an ancient tradition of holistic medicine, and has been used for thousands of years. Acupuncture treats with the intention to rebalance the flow of energy, or Qi, throughout the body efficiently to stimulate the body’s own innate healing. Acupuncture encourages proper functioning of the mind and body to allow the body to return to a state of health.

Our acupuncture team includes Dr. Allison Serrano, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and board-certified acupuncturist (LAc), and Dr. Judy Klamecki, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) with extensive training in acupuncture — both Japanese Kiiko and Chinese medicine. Dr. Serrano’s dual training in naturopathic and Eastern medicine, combined with Dr. Judy’s expertise, allows our team to take a comprehensive, individualized approach to each patient’s health and incorporate a variety of therapies to support their healing and overall well-being.

At Monterey Natural Wellness, we incorporate Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine to treat a variety of conditions that do not typically see success through Western Medical therapies such as:

  • Unexplained infertility

Acupuncture is often recommended anywhere from once a week to once a month for maintenance, but will depend on your individual case and history. Sessions typically last one hour, but can vary based on patient comfort and preference. It is recommended that you wear loose, comfortable clothing for your acupuncture session at Monterey Natural Wellness.
