Skyler grew up in the rugged hills of coastal Northern California, body surfing in cold water and getting lost in the woods.

Like most acupuncturists in the US, he fell into the craft. He had little to no exposure to Chinese medicine while growing up but years of practicing martial arts and Qigong (Chinese ‘Yoga’) had primed him to be curious about acupuncture, and once he started getting treatments those needles caught him, hook line and sinker.

Skyler got his Master’s in Chinese Medicine from the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley in 2018, and has made good use of his numerous work and athletics related injuries to inform his treatment methods. He uses his experience and his foundations in qigong to understand his patients and treat their concerns effectively. He especially enjoys helping people with injuries of all kinds, acute and chronic pain, emotional traumas such as shock, loss or fear and other conditions that deeply impact quality of life.
