Meet Dr. Stefanie Greenleaf

Cosmetic acupuncture and holistic skin health, grounded in whole-body Chinese medicine.

Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.) • Cosmetic Acupuncture Specialist • Chinese Herbalist

Dr. Stefanie Greenleaf has been in clinical practice for over two decades, offering a thoughtful, holistic approach to healing rooted in the 3,000-year tradition of Chinese medicine. Her work centers on treating the root cause of imbalance—supporting not just symptoms, but the whole person.

Her medical path began with studies in Bio/Pre-Med at the University of Vermont, followed by Botany and Western Herbology at Humboldt State University, where her interest in plant-based and natural medicine deepened. Discovering Chinese medicine proved transformative, aligning deeply with her belief in whole-body, systems-based healing.

Dr. Greenleaf earned her Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe in 2006 and completed advanced clinical training in Beijing at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital and the Beijing Traditional Medicine Training Center. After more than 16 years in active clinical practice, she returned to earn her Doctorate of Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University in Santa Cruz, California—further deepening her clinical and diagnostic expertise.

Her treatments integrate cosmetic and traditional acupuncture, microneedling, custom herbal formulas, cupping, tuina bodywork, and personalized lifestyle guidance. This integrative approach is also informed by her long-standing background in meditation, breathwork, yoga, and Pilates. Each session is tailored to support skin rejuvenation and healthy aging, nervous system regulation, digestion, circulation, hormonal balance, pain relief, emotional well-being, and overall vitality.

At the heart of Dr. Greenleaf’s work is a belief in slowing down, listening deeply, and meeting each patient as an individual. Whether you are seeking cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, or comprehensive whole-body care, she is honored to support your healing journey with presence, experience, and care.
