North Park Acupuncture

North Park Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda practice in North Park, San Diego, led by Dr. Namrata Sakya, a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine with over two decades of experience in research, practice, and education. Dr. Sakya practices Traditional Chinese Medicine alongside Ayurveda and therapeutic yoga, combining acupuncture with herbal medicine, bodywork, and lifestyle guidance. The practice treats the person as a whole and focuses on prevention, maintaining and optimizing health through diet and lifestyle so most issues can be caught early.

How they work

A first visit runs about 90 minutes and begins with a thorough review of current health concerns, along with digestion, sleep, stress, and the other factors that shape overall health. After building a clear picture, the practitioner begins treatment, which can draw on acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, tui na, electric stimulation, and focused therapeutic massage. When it helps, the practice adds Chinese herbal formulas and nutritional supplements, and pairs care with diet and lifestyle guidance so progress holds between visits. Follow-up sessions run about an hour, and many patients return regularly as a preventative measure to catch imbalances before they become illness.

The space

The clinic in North Park is designed as a calm, welcoming place to heal. A waterfall and comfortable waiting area set the tone at the door, and each treatment room is decorated around a different elemental theme. The Cool Wind and Water Room uses soothing blues to calm the nervous system, the Warm Fire and Earth Room is made to feel grounding and energizing, and the All Elements and Forest rooms balance all the energies for deep relaxation. Online booking makes it easy to schedule a visit, and the practice welcomes new patients.
