Willow Brown LAc, CMT, Birth Doula

Willow Brown of Ojai, Ca became a Licensed Acupuncturist in 2008, after studying healing arts and bodywork extensively since 2000.  In her practice she focus’ on pain relief, especially spinal, joint and cranial issues.  Another strong focus of hers is gynecological health, and pediatrics. A typical treatment with her incorporates 20 min of myo-fasial release massage, acupuncture and cranial-sacral to leave you feeling whole on all levels.

10 years of teaching yoga brings her classes to a sophisticated level that is fun and appropriate for all students, integrating a wealth of knowledge in health and body care.  Her Pilates class is beginner-intermediate and focuses on core strength, moving from the center and presence of movement, so as to avoid injuries. Qi Gong is another passion that she shares with her classes, a slow form of movement exercise that builds internal strength, including immune system, hormonal/emotional balance, bone and blood strengthening and overall cleansing.

She has been administering bodywork of various styles since 2001, including Thai, chi nei tsang, polarity and cranial-sacral. She understands the many complex layers one has to work through in order to bring the body into a state of balance and health.

Willow is trained and certified Doula (labor and delivery coach). Her presence and care are reassuring to the whole family as well as the primary care providers.

She practices at the Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine and Chi Center in Santa Cruz and at Pacific Healing Arts in Los Gatos, and teaches at various studios/clubs across Santa Cruz County.  To learn more about her practice go to yinwellness.com
