I'm Dr. Brianna Darcey, a Doctor of Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine and Registered Nurse with 16 years of clinical experience. After a decade as a Labor & Delivery nurse — most recently at UCSF, supporting hundreds of births — I saw firsthand how much the medical system can offer, and where it leaves people without enough support. That's what led me to East Asian medicine, and to building an acupuncture practice in Oakland where there's actually room for you.

​

People come to me with specific things — a baby that needs to turn, a back that won't quit, hormones that have stopped cooperating. I have the tools for all of it: acupuncture, bodywork, cupping, herbs, moxa, and 16 years of clinical experience to draw from. But what most people don't expect is the level of attention they receive. Every detail of your session is considered. You are not a problem to be solved — you are a person being cared for.

​

In most acupuncture practices, a practitioner is seeing two to four patients an hour. In mine, you are the only one. That means far more hands-on time — bodywork, acupuncture, cupping, moxa, herbs — whatever combination your body needs that day. You're not just receiving more attention. You're receiving more treatment.

​

If you're in Oakland or the East Bay and looking for acupuncture care that treats you as a whole person, I'd love to work with you.
