Oakland Acupuncture Specialist
Dr. Brianna Darcey, DAIM, LAc, RN
For new parents, folks with stress, and the rest of us.
Inclusive healing through Eastern wisdom and Western expertise
I’m Dr. Brianna Darcey, a Doctor of Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine and Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience caring for patients. My Oakland-based acupuncture clinic blends Western expertise with East Asian medicine to support fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, stress, pain, burnout, and more. Many clients come simply to feel more balanced, less overwhelmed, and more connected to themselves.
​
After a decade as a Labor & Delivery nurse, most recently at UCSF supporting hundreds of births, I saw both the power and limits of Western medicine. It often moves too fast, leaving little time for nuance or the whole picture. East Asian medicine bridges that gap. In my practice, your first visit is a full 90 minutes, with space for your story, your body, and your healing.
​
I specialize in acupuncture for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, but I also treat a wide range of health concerns. Every appointment includes hands-on bodywork, herbs, or acupuncture, always tailored to you. Patients describe me as grounded, maternal, and laid-back. I only see one person per hour so you receive deeply personalized care.
​
If you’re in Oakland or the East Bay and looking for thoughtful, integrative support, I’d love to work with you. You can book a session online or reach out with questions—I’m here to help you feel better in your body.

Q: Do you offer in-home sessions?
A: Yes I do! I'm happy to come to your home if it’s in Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito, Albany, or Alameda. Hot tip, sessions are most economical when you + a partner get back-to-back sessions.
