Meet David Gaynes, L.Ac., M.T.O.M.
Your Guide to Profound Healing & Renewal
For David Gaynes, the journey towards holistic medicine began with a life-changing experience. After conventional treatments failed to resolve a back injury in his youth, David turned to acupuncture - a decision that opened his eyes to the restorative possibilities of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Today, as a licensed acupuncturist and Master of Traditional Oriental Medicine, David's passion is empowering others to achieve their full healing potential through an integrative mind-body approach.
Extensive Training, Diverse Expertise
David's education encompasses far more than just acupuncture. His certifications include:
Acupuncture Licensure (L.Ac.) from the State of California
National Acupuncture Certification (Dipl.Ac.) from NCCAOM
Masters of Traditional Oriental Medicine (M.T.O.M.) from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine
Certifications in Auricular Therapy, Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET), Morphogenetic Field Technique, and Quantum Neurology
B.A. in Psychology with Rogerian Counseling - cultivating compassionate listening
B.A. in Religious Studies with studies in Jerusalem - exploring humanity's spiritual roots
By combining these complementary disciplines, David has developed a truly holistic methodology that addresses physical, mental, and energetic imbalances simultaneously.
Holistic Healing Philosophy
Rather than merely masking surface symptoms, David's treatments are focused on uncovering and treating the root causes behind illness and disharmony. His compassionate, personalized plans harmonize multiple evidence-based modalities like:- Acupuncture to restore balanced energy flow
- Herbal remedies and nutraceuticals to fuel the body's innate healing response
- Nutritional and lifestyle guidance for integrated, lasting wellbeing
- Subtle therapies like NET to identify and release stored traumas and negative emotions
A Life of Service, Balance, and Growth
When not guiding patients on their journeys back to health, David finds balance through outdoor adventures like sailing, backpacking, and gardening as well as volunteering in his spiritual community. Most importantly, he treasures quality time with his family, finding his greatest joy in watching his children thrive and grow. It is this appreciation for life's deeper fulfillments that imbues David's practice with heart, passion, and possibility.
