About Dr. Sydney
Hello and welcome! I am so glad you are here! I’m Dr. Sydney Davis, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and acupuncture . My journey into this field has been a deeply personal and transformative one, rooted in my own health journey and a lifelong passion for understanding cultures, people, and the body’s innate ability to heal.
I earned my Doctorate degree in Acupuncture and herbal medicine (DAcHM) from Five Branches University in Santa Cruz, CA, where I trained under experienced mentors and expanded my knowledge of both acupuncture and herbal medicine. Additionally, I had the privilege of studying at the National Hospital of Traditional Medicine in Vietnam, where I gained a broader understanding of acupuncture practices and how they are integrated into medical systems globally.
Before embarking on my path as an acupuncturist, I completed my undergraduate degree from California State University, Chico where I pursued a double major in Anthropology and Asian Studies. I spent a year abroad studying at Chiang Mai University in Thailand which gave me a deep appreciation for Eastern medicine and culture, further solidifying my passion for healing.
My journey into this medicine was not just academic, but personal. Like many who find their way to acupuncture, my journey began with a struggle. I was dealing with chronic health issues that no one seemed to understand which led me to acupuncture, and Chinese medicine. This medicine played a pivotal role in my recovery and has been a life changing journey. I was inspired by the profound wisdom of Chinese medicine, especially its holistic approach that views the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected—and treats the whole person, not just the disease. That philosophy deeply resonates with me, and I understand the importance of feeling seen, supported, and empowered in your health. I am passionate about helping others take control of their well-being. I believe that healing happens in a space built on trust, respect, and compassion. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where you feel supported, heard, and nurtured. I use a holistic approach to healing, where we work to address not only the symptoms, but also the root causes of what’s going on in your body- so we can create lasting change, together.
When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me soaking up the sun, surfing, paddle boarding, or dancing hula and Tahitian. Movement, nature, and connection are key components of my personal well-being, and I love to integrate that energy into my work as a practitioner. I believe healing happens not just in treatment rooms, but in the way we live, breathe, and connect. I am truly honored to be a part of your health journey and look forward to supporting you as you navigate your path to wellness. Whether you are seeking relief from a specific condition or simply looking to restore balance, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s take this journey together and empower you to live your healthiest life!
