Karena Goldfinger

Licensed Acupuncturist, Herbalist, and Chinese Medicine Practitioner

Hi, I’m Karena.

I am a holistic practitioner licensed in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.   I offer guidance with herbs, nutritional supplements, diet, exercises, and essential oils. What inspires me most is to help you create a new lifestyle to support your health!

My treatments help resolve acute and chronic conditions, pain and discomfort by encouraging and supporting good health practices to maintain balance and vitality in the body, mind and spirit.

In my work, I combine Chinese Medicine with nutrition, supplementation, and exercise therapies.

I have been interested in alternative health since my teens.   After working in the Health Food Industry, in the early 80’s, I experienced acute back pain. Acupuncture resolved it quickly. This sparked an interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I pursued a career and studied at the San Francisco College of Acupuncture.

I have studied Master Tong’s work through several of his disciples. He was a famous acupuncturist in Taiwan in the 40’s that really understood how to balance the bodies energy (qi).  I have found this method to be the quickest and most effective treatment for pain and most physical and emotional issues.

“Karena Goldfinger’s genuine warmth, intuitive understanding, and acupuncture skills make her an exceptional and trusted healer.  

She’s helped me for twenty years through the ups and downs of menopause, bouts of flu and fatigue, and the trauma of an unexpected divorce. 

Whenever I walk into her healing space, I feel welcomed with caring and love.”
