Jamie’s long educational journey started at the age of 12 when she asked for a cookbook on healthy eating for her birthday. At this early age, see began to see food as medicine. Eight years later, she would go on to graduate from the Crestone Healing Arts Center with 650 hours of massage therapy training. In 2002, she completed her yoga teacher training at The Mount Madonna Institute and her certificate in herbal studies from The Northwest School of Botanical Studies. A traumatic knee injury shifted her attention to orthopedics and injury rehab and furthered her fascination with helping the body heal. She then began studying neuromuscular reprogramming (NMR) and exercise rehab. After 10 years with an injury rehab practice, she went back to school to continue her studies and to complete her licensure in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine at the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences. Currently, she is a doctoral candidate in Orthopedic Acupuncture and Classical Chinese Medicine. Jamie sees studying the body not as a means to an end, but as a lifelong fascination and a way of life.

Eva studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego and graduated in 2007 with a Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine (MSTOM). She was drawn to acupuncture after suffering with eczema for much of her life and finding little to no relief through western medicine. After just a few acupuncture treatments, herbal therapies, and recommended lifestyle changes, her eczema symptoms largely vanished and she began to explore everything else alternative medicine has to offer.

When not in the clinic Eva can be found swimming in the bay, jogging the streets of Alameda, curled up with a book but more often than not, in the kitchen.
