Traditional Chinese Medicine (or TCM, aka Oriental Medicine) is the oldest, continually practiced form of medicine in the world. It is comprised of a complex system of diagnostic & natural treatment strategies that are as valuable today as they ever were. TCM utilizes the body's innate healing mechanisms to safely restore natural balance (or homeostasis) within the body, and address the underlying causes of disease. It includes the modalities of acupuncture, cupping, manual therapy, relaxation techniques, nutrition, and the use of herbal medicines.
Chinese herbal medicine is another treatment modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Dr. Dawn Potter prescribes natural herbs from her on-site and her online herbal pharmacies. Herbs can be used alone or combined with acupuncture for enhanced healing. Chinese herbal medicine consists of over 5000 substances derived from plant, animal and mineral sources.
One of the most powerful modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine is nutrition. It is vital to any healing endeavor. Dr. Dawn will make specific nutritional recommendations to help you meet your health goals. Traditional Chinese Medicine has long understood that the quality of one's nutrition is integral to regaining health, preventing illness and promoting longevity.
Red Light Therapy aka. Low Level Light Therapy or Photobiomodulation) uses light in the visible Red & invisible Near-Infrared (NIR) spectrum to benefit the body. While new research emerges daily about its many health effects, we know that it can help with many common health concerns. Red & NIR Light helps reduce inflammation, increase circulation, benefit brain health, and boost energy production in the cellular mitochondria. This means less inflammation & pain, better energy levels, elevated yet calm mood, enhanced fertility, and improved sleep quality!

Dawn Potter has been my acupuncturist for two months now, and I have felt incredible results. I used to dread waking up each morning because of the chest pain I would experience due to my sleep apnea. However, Dawn has been working on my body, and I feel that I have more energy and no pain whatsoever. I have also lost approximately 30 pounds since seeing her weekly. Dawn Potter is kind, friendly, and professional with a wide array of Chinese medicinal supplements that will make you feel like you have the energy and strength to get through the day. I am so grateful for Dawn's treatments and would highly recommend them to anyone who needs them. Thanks again, Dawn!

Dawn was an absolute God send to me after my injury with three torn discs and severe burning pain in my right arm. I had exhausted traditional PT and my Dr was leaning toward spinal injections or a neck fusion surgery. In a last ditch effort, I came to Acupuncture to receive Dawns healing touch- Her kind and calm disposition helped me feel comfortable and safe for my first ever acupuncture treatments.

Slowly but surely my pain lessened and I'm so thrilled to report I did not have the surgery or any injections into my neck! I'm so grateful for Dawns ability to help me live pain free and stay pain free! She's the real deal in terms of a Chinese medicine provider.

I was at my wits end with digestive issues and nausea. I decided I wanted to try Accupunture. I did some research and found Dr. Potter. She offers to speak with you by phone first to ask questions. I wanted someone who had treated someone with my issues. She said she had, I went to see her and after the first visit the results were amazing! Her knowledge is incredible, she's also so very kind and personable! I don't often post reviews but Dr. Potter is worth looking into for the many issues she can treat!

I have been seeing Dr. Potter for anxiety, insomnia, bursitis in my shoulder, and restless legs. All of my ailments have greatly decreased, something that I never thought was possible after years at a traditional doctor. I would recommend Dr. Potter to anyone looking to find relief.

I am a trained Massage therapist and I had my own part time business in California for 6 years. I have had massage clients such who were top professional people such as one, who own physical therapy businesses in Santa Monica Cal with 40 employees and I also treated actors and actresses, Doctors, etc. I have received hundreds of massages. I got a 1 hour massage from Dawn last week and her skill and knowledge of how to deliver a proper massage impressed me, She knew the muscles to massage and loosen up to get a very good result on me. I am very pleased with her skill and service. I Highly recommend her.

I have known about Dawn for over a decade my mom used to come to her and she helped her tremendously. I am so happy i began accupuncture with her! I went in for several issues main one was pcos and I was very skeptical because I was used to the excruciating pain that came along with it however just after a months worth of treatments and herbal medicine I saw major improvements. I would recommend Dawn to everyone!

I had such great visits with Dawn. I felt immediate results and I valued how much time she took with me getting to know me, my history and lifestyle. She took all of that into account before creating a treatment plan which included herbs and supplements meant to complement the acupuncture. She's professional and skilled. I also appreciated the great measures she takes during this time of Covid. I felt very safe in her offices. I highly recommend Dawn!

I started seeing Dawn during the beginning of my second pregnancy after coming across research on success with acupuncture for severe nausea and vomiting, and it has been nothing short of a miracle! My acupuncture treatments with Dawn have limited my symptoms and given me my life back! I'm able to take care of my daughter and enjoy daily activities thanks to Dawn! Dawn takes a personal interest in her patients and really listens to my concerns. I only wish I'd found her during my first pregnancy!
