As a California Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, he is trained to treat a variety of disorders, including acute and chronic pain, weight loss, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, as well as anxiety and stress related disorders. Having been born and raised in Santa Clara County, Dan recognizes the stress and demands on people living and working in the Silicon Valley. He experienced first-hand the impact the lifestyle has on both individuals and families during his fifteen years in engineering, marketing and sale roles in both start-ups and large corporations. It was during this time he discovered the amazing benefits of Chinese Medicine. Moreover, he credits Chinese Medicine with optimizing his recovery after being hit by a car while cycling. Dan knows what it takes, physically, emotionally and mentally to recover from an injury or a disease. The whole person needs to be treated, not just each individual symptom. This is the beauty of Chinese Medicine and Craniosacral Therapy, and the approach he takes treating his patients. Dan offers a holistic, compassionate and educational approach to healing while empowering patients with a sense of hope and understanding. Last, Dan just completed RockTape’s Rock Doc program, a formal training program to Facial Movement Taping Levels I & II.
