About Anne Alyse

I am well-known in the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout Northern California for my gifts of empathy, insight and intuitive healing. I use these gifts—along with my expertise as a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbal consultant—to help individuals achieve better health and wellness. My holistic approach has helped many people enhance the quality of their lives.  

I have recently completed a full transition out of the Bay area and now I run my practice full time in my beautiful Nevada City office.  My goal is to help my patients to renew their health and vitality, restoring their natural energy through Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, herbal therapies and Intuitive Healing.  I feel passionate about continuously learning and sharing knowledge. I have participated in many health seminars, discussion panels, and expositions, plus have traveled in the U.S. and Europe to teach energy medicine. I am currently licensed by the State of California.

Educated, Enlightened and Empathetic  

After earning both a BA in Sociology and a minor in Psychology from the University of California at Santa Barbara, I continued with my professional education in the health sciences for many years. In my early years, I obtained a degree and worked as a mobile intensive care paramedic. Then, I shifted my focus to preventative medicine, becoming a therapeutic massage practitioner. Following this, I diversified my studies and gained recognition as a Reike Master, as well as gained a deeper knowledge of holistic medicine through a three-year Ayurvedic Study program at The Evergreen Herb Farm in Placerville, California. 

As a massage practitioner, I honed my skills in structural correction as well as in energy medicine, I practiced my work for over 20 years before further enhancing my knowledge in pain relief and internal medicine. I graduated from Five Branches University, extending my practice as a licensed Chinese Medicine Practitioner/Acupuncturist. My work is effective for pain release as well as in many aspects of health management.  

I pursued advanced studies in Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture, fertility and weight loss as well as blood analysis, functional medicine and nutritional sciences. And today, I currently practice a combination of Chinese Acupuncture practices including, Japanese Palpation based acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Classical Five Elements Acupuncture, which focused on finding the root cause of an individual’s internal struggle.

An Intuitive Gift of Healing

I help to discern energy blockages in the physical body. The feeling of blockage can be subtle. However, once they are released, patients often experience a wonderful feeling of lightness and clarity.  

As individuals, sometimes we can’t explain what we feel. But, we know we don’t feel as optimum as we could.  it is often a culmination of many things we can’t put into words. This includes influences from our DNA, family messages and programming. It is often our conscious and unconscious belief systems that keep us stuck,  

When we are open to see what we are holding onto, we have the ability to then also clear it.   It is usually associated with stuckness and pain held in the body.   So it would stand to reason that clearing these blockages would lead to feelings of lightness and ease as an overall feeling in the body, mind and spirit.   Chronic illness takes more time and healing focus than acute conditions.
