Chelsea Rutherford

Chelsea Rutherford, D.A.C.M., L.Ac. is a doctor of Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and herbalism. She received her MSOM (Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine) at the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, CA in 2015 and went on to complete her professional doctoral work, graduating from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, CA in 2019. 

She has traveled internationally to study on two separate occasions in China (2013 and 2019). The most recent trip in April of 2019 was made possible by a full scholarship she was awarded to study at the Henan Hospital in Zhengzhou, China, where they integrate Western and Chinese medicine together seamlessly.  She studied there for two months, working in various different departments in the hospital, studying with a number of doctors specializing in pain, digestive ailments such as liver and stomach cancers, insomnia, hepatitis, paralysis, infertility, while also working on learning Mandarin.  Additionally, Chelsea traveled to Japan in 2019 to work with several different doctors, focusing mainly on Japanese style needling technique, palpation, and using moxibustion to treat breech presentation pregnancies.

Her areas of specialization include internal medicine, digestive ailments, orthopedic pain and injuries, insomnia, anxiety, depression, herbalism, nutrition counseling, among other conditions.  She uses her years of diverse training to bring a unique experience that is tailored to each patient. She strongly believes in this medicine as it helped her profoundly in her own healing journey.

Outside of her healing arts practice, she is a singer and musician, takes dance classes, practices yoga, is an avid gardener, cook, mushroom hunter, and crafty creative. She is deeply curious and fascinated by the efficacy of inner emotional growth and development and sees herself as a lifelong student.
