Erin Wood Bio

Erin loves to use acupuncture, herbs, cupping and muscle scraping (gua sha) to alleviate pain, diminish stress, improve digestion and boost immunity.  Her goal is to share the tools of East Asian Medicine with our community, so folks have strategies to find balance; in their bodies, minds, and spirits.  Acupuncture can offer those pain-free moments and a calming respite from the hectic world.  When we have these breaks from pain and stress, we have more resolve to go back out there and do the work we are meant to do.

Erin has been in practice since 2010 and earned her Master's degree from the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, California.  Her experience ranges from working at a hospital on Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, several senior centers in the East Bay, the Downtown Oakland Kaiser CDRP (chemical dependency recovery program), and in Yoga for Grief workshops. For over 7 years, she worked with chronic pain patients and cancer survivors through Kaiser Oakland, as well as at the Charlotte Maxwell Complementary Clinic.  She currently practices in Boulder Creek, in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains.  A few things that get her up in the morning are her cats, working with friends on racial justice issues, sharing plant knowledge, and having a strong cuppa tea while listening to a podcast.  Erin speaks Spanish.
