Hi, I’m Dr. Amanda Seaman,
Doctor of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine and Licensed Acupuncturist.
From a young age I knew I wanted to help people and work with plants. I came to acupuncture & herbal medicine as a teenager when working with my own health struggles. The experience of being listened to, cooking Chinese herbal teas, and quickly experiencing my health improve was profound.
I bring enthusiasm and compassion to my practice, creating a unique customized treatment plan for each patient.
I hold a doctorate in Chinese Medicine from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences, with a special focus on Classical Chinese Herbalism and Orthopedic Acupuncture. This clinical degree took 4 years to complete and is the terminal degree in the field. I am licensed by the state of California to practice acupuncture & Chinese medicine.
