At Points for Wellness, we have been providing acupuncture care for the Santa Cruz, Soquel area since 2006. Acupuncture was first developed over 2000 years ago and has long been used as a treatment in Chinese medicine to restore the balance of "qi, " also know as the life force energy. It involves the careful insertion of fine needles into precise points along the body's meridians in order to treat illness and restore wellness.
Acupuncture stimulates the flow of energy and blood, but cannot "give" anything to your body. If deficient organ systems are contributing to your health problems, acupuncture in and of itself may not be enough. Herbal medicine can have a direct impact on your metabolic system, your endocrine system, your immune system and other systems which may be malfunctioning and contributing to a pathologic state.

Beth Dorsey is absolutely fabulous! She is so skilled in her profession and knowledgeable about so many aspects of health and well being. Beth treated me for with acupuncture and massage for a sports injury. Her attention to detail and calm comforting demeanor as well as her treatment left me feeling better than ever. Beth is a wonderful acupuncturist. If you are looking for someone who knows what she is doing look no further. Beth is the person to call!

Beth Dorsey is an absolute treasure, and I am so grateful to always have her in my corner. I have gone to her for nutritional guidance and acupuncture for several years for every health adventure I've been on, from hormone-balancing/thyroid autoimmune issues to sinus issues, to adult acne issues, to support before and after brain tumor surgery. I've taken my kids to her as well, and every test she's ever ordered for any of us have all revealed valuable information that our Western doctors missed or chose not to explore.
She's easy-going and fun to visit, and has become a friend. The combination of her vast knowledge, clever detective skills and love of her work have landed me as a client for life! (I've lost count of how many other people I've referred to her, and they all love her, too.)
