Emily Haddad
DACM, LAc

I am an Acupuncturist and Herbalist with training in Integrative Medicine. I’m also a mama, a sunshine lover, a home cook, a Lebanese-American, and a Sunset resident who can’t get enough of our parks and Ocean Beach. 

I received my Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco in 2021. My clinical training included internships at Glide memorial Clinic, ACTCM Community Clinic, the Women’s Resource Center, and San Quentin State Prison. Through this training, I have seen firsthand how Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can improve physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being in entire communities by closing the health equity gap. 

I enjoy working with people at every stage of their health journeys, incorporating the many modalities of Chinese Medicine such as herbs, moxibustion, cupping, acupuncture, and nutritional guidance. I have experience in treating a wise variety of health concerns, though I have a particular fondness for help clients with:

• Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual wellbeing
• Reproductive health, including menstrual health concerns, fertility support, IVF/IUI support, pregnancy and postpartum care
• Digestive health concerns
• Support during big life transitions
• Physical pain due to injury or repetitive stress
• Support around sobriety, harm reduction, eating disorders, and recovery

As a general practitioner, I believe in using a collaborative approach and working alongside clients to help you step into your full potential as a healthy, dynamic being. My technique is gentle and I prioritize informed consent. I want acupuncture to be a relaxing, grounding experience in the midst of our busy world. Your hour on my massage table is a way for you to incorporate more compassion and self-care into your life, one treatment at a time.
