Erin is a California State Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist, and a NCCAOM Board-Certified Acupuncturist. She spent four years studying the integration of Eastern and Western medicine and holds a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley. She is currently completing her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine where she is researching the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia with Chinese herbal medicine.
Erin’s treatments aim to address the complex interplay of genetics, circumstances and lived experience. Prior to her studies in Chinese Medicine, Erin earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Public Health from Santa Clara University. This led her to work on the chronic disease prevention team at Denver Health Medical Center, which deepened her understanding of the impacts of social, environmental and personal factors on health.
Her early acupuncture studies led her to Lyon, France where she became certified in Advanced Auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture), a modality with applications for treating pain and insomnia.
At present, Erin holds keen interests in hematology, reproductive health, mental health and sports medicine. She is currently completing a Sports Medicine Apprenticeship with Dr. Whitfield Reaves that focuses on a specialized, anatomy-informed approach for the treatment of sports injuries and their associated complexities.
In addition to her private practice in Marin County, Erin sees patients at Alameda Acupuncture alongside her mentors Dr. Jenny Nieters, team acupuncturist for the San Francisco 49ers, and Dr. John Nieters, chronic and degenerative disease specialist. Beyond her special interests, she runs a general practice and offers treatment for a wide variety of conditions.
Outside the clinic she enjoys wildcrafting, camping and surfing up and down California’s beautiful coastline.
