Marc Velez is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine who has nearly 20 years of experience helping people understand their bodies and rediscover their health.

By honoring the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine while incorporating modern breakthroughs in contemporary wellness medicine, Dr. Marc practices a truly integrative form of natural medicine that seeks to restore harmony to the body and mind.

Dr. Marc began his journey into Chinese medicine in his late teens, growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Having parents who both suffered from autoimmune disease and the iatrogenic effects of the medical treatments used at that time, he felt a deep calling to discover a better way to treat disease. Rather than focusing on disease as an enemy to be conquered, Dr. Marc came to understand the symptoms of illness as messages spoken by the voice of the body - sometimes whispering, while at other times shouting to get our attention - and ultimately concluded that the highest form of medicine is one that seeks to prevent the occurrence of disease, followed by gently correcting imbalances to restore the body's righteous function.

These conclusions were proven repeatedly over the years of practice that followed. Using a unique blend of Eastern and Western medicine approaches, he has successfully restored health to hundreds of patients - correcting digestive problems, curing migraine headaches, soothing anxiety, and putting Type II diabetes and chronic kidney disease into remission. Dr. Marc continues to devote his life's work to the luminous emergence of the human spirit as it manifests through the physical, mental, and spiritual.
