Dr. Sesame Unlu, DAc.

Acupuncturist & Herbalist

I have been practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine for over a decade, and I am still in awe of it’s incredible healing power. It is often quite magical to witness the transformative healings that take place when other treatments have failed, and the a-ha moments when a patient discovers that all of their seemingly unrelated symptoms are actually connected and caused by the same internal pattern of imbalance.

I believe the key to health and longevity is cultivating the ability to listen and respond to your body’s inner wisdom. An important part of my work is helping you to recognize and interpret your symptoms as messages and use that feedback to appropriately course correct. This gives you the power to influence your health trajectory and has a profound impact on your life-span and health-span. 

It is an honor to be a part of this ancient healing tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation for over 2,000 years. It is truly a joy to share the wisdom of this medical philosophy and healing system, this is essentially the lens through which I view life. My goal is to keep this ancient wisdom alive and relevant in our modern lives, so that it may be a guide for longevity and self healing.
