About

Matt started his practice almost 20 years ago, after he found great success with healing his own body through massage and acupuncture. Today, he still feels inspired when patients walk out of his office pain-free. He's seen hundreds of people find balance and better health. Seeing hope and relief in his patients' eyes is the reason he continues this work and will continue to advocate for acupuncture to be included in mainstream medicine.I began my private practice in Boulder, Colorado in 2000. While in Boulder, I worked with world-class athletes (Ironman, Olympians, triathletes, cyclists, mountain climbers, skiers), several corporations/employee wellness programs, and in spas and chiropractic centers. It was there that I received additional specialized training in whiplash treatment, medical massage, trauma in the body, anma (Japanese style of massage) and pain management of neck/shoulder, low back, hip and knees. In 2005, I moved my practice to Los Angeles and have been in private practice here for 7 years. That practice includes corporate chair massage at 2 Whole Foods locations, Equinox Spa, chiropractic offices and high end clientele at homes and film sets. In April of 2012, I finished my training for Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from Yo San University and am now incorporating my new skills into my existing practice.
