Beth Dorsey, LAc MS

Beth is quite simply the best. I sought her out on a recommendation from a friend as I was struggling with hormone imbalance issues and did not want to go on hormone replacement therapy. She heard me out with compassion — keep in mind that talking to someone with hormone imbalance (a big dose of crazy) isn’t fun. Within a short period of time, she had me feeling myself again. I can’t emphasize enough how thankful I am to have found Beth.

Beth has been an incredible source of support and knowledge throughout my pregnancy. She combines her knowledge of Chinese medicine, fertility, nutrition, massage, and other healing techniques to create a personalized approach that is highly effective. Beth always goes above and beyond in providing the best acupuncture services that I have received. My husband also has gone to Beth for back and skin ailments. He is very pleased with the results: her acupuncture, herbs, and nutritional advice have all exceeded his expectations. Thank you Beth!

I have been a patient of Beth’s for many years, since she first got her diplomas in fact. I have watched her grow into her practice, continue to push herself and learn new techniques. She has helped me immensely with many issues, from joint pain, through knee replacement surgery and subsequent recovery, to hormone issues, to weight and body image challenges, help in recovering from pneumonia, from stress to «just» needing support and cheering. I love acupuncture. It has given me relief in all of those areas. Some of those issues have been acute and I have gotten some good immediate relief, and others are an ongoing, ever changing kind of thing.
I see Beth at least once a month on a regular basis and consider acupuncture as part of my wellness routine. I often combine it with getting a massage. Beth has a skilled touch in blending the kind loving touch with deeper work on specific muscles.

Beth helped me when I was trying to get pregnant. Between her treatments and patient counsel, she made a frustrating experience with fertility issues, a lot easier. Throughout my pregnancy and leading up to delivery she provided a support system (nutrition, exercise, massage and acupuncture) essential to my healthy pregnancy and baby.

Beth Dorsey is amazing. I have never had acupuncture before and the way she handled me was both calming and gentle. Not to mention the best massage I have ever had.
She also treated my husband who suffers from Carpels Tunnel. Her treatment helped alleviate the pain and assist with his strength.
Her knowledge of nutrition, health and fitness is inspiring. If you are lucky enough to get your butt kicked at her biweekly boot camp, your body will thank you.
I highly recommend Beth Dorsey.

Beth is an excellent listener and gives her full attention to my needs at every session. She has integrated her treatment so it is complementary with the plan developed with my traditional OB/​Gyn. Beth offers positive insights and many treatment options and approaches. I highly recommend working with Beth at all stages of the fertility process — from preparing the body to conception to pregnancy and beyond. Beth is a caring that thoughtful practitioner.

If I could give Beth 10 stars I would. She is a gifted listener and one of the most compassionate people I know. I recommend getting a massage and then acupuncture… nothing better. Beth is also a very skilled nutritional counselor, and has great tips and advice for all lifestyles and familiarity with cooking and fitness. She is well rounded in her skills and knowledge, and speaks with integrity from her heart. She has gone above and beyond to help me feel better, and I am forever grateful.

I have a chronic spine condition and, through acupuncture, Beth helps take away the pain.

Beth is a wonderful healer, herbalist, and exceptional acupuncturist. I have had great success with her Natural Allergy Elimination Treatment, and my teenage daughter simply loves Beth’s work on her. I highly recommend Beth for both chronic and acute conditions, as well as for great nutritional counsel and general health tune ups. Yay Beth!

Beth Dorsey, the Licensed acupuncturist and herbalist who owns this clinic, is a wonderful resource to Santa Cruz and Soquel patients. I often will refer patients to her (I have a clinic in Mountain View) and do so without any hesitation. She is an expert in nutritional medicine as well, making her a great choice for doing more advanced holistic tests with, like evaluation of the Adrenals/​stress response and of digestive function. She also specializes in women’s health and infertility, so she is a great choice for gals facing this set of challenges. While Beth is very smart and well-​educated, her most wonderful traits are her compassion, her passion for the work she does and the energy she brings to it. I’m honored to refer patients her way as I know they will receive great care!
