 Beautiful skin is a reflection of balance and harmony on the inside. This is the Oriental medicine perspective. You can go through cosmetic procedures to alter your appearance such as surgery, injecting toxins or other substances in your face, sanding off layers of facial skin, or burning them off with a laser or dramatically peeling them with acid, but why? Why go through that if your skin can look its best because you are healthy? Acne, psoriasis, aging skin are all conditions can improve with: dietary changes, herbal prescriptions, nutritional supplements, body and facial acupuncture and physician grade topicals.
How?
Through a series of Facial Rejuvenation treatments.

After completing my BA, I looked at MS programs in Acupuncture , Traditional Chinese Medicine and Oriental Medicine all over the country. I was young, without ties to a community, and was open to moving anywhere. I chose to attend Five Branches University because out of all of my prospective schools, that one was strongest in Women’s Health, because of Sharon Feng. I came to Santa Cruz knowing I wanted to focus on gynecology, long before it was commonplace for acupuncturists to claim a specialty. I came here to study with Dr. Feng.
My first clinical class was with Sharon. It was my first day, and she scared the hell out of me. This tiny Continued reading >

I feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful patient base. My patients have written of their experience with me on YELP! and Linkedin, in addition to the testimonials listed on this site. The other day, I felt so moved upon reading this patient’s story:
 Dr. Rozenn is a healer. Her approach to treatment is mindful of the individual’s unique experience–it appears to me that Dr. Rozenn practices on the principle that nobody’s suffering is shaped quite the same way as another person’s suffering. To support her patients in the discovery of who they are in relationship to the bodies they inhabit, she uses her innate sensitivity to energy as well as her detailed knowledge of Chinese Medicine to bring back the unity between the two. Dr. Rozenn is intellectual, intuitive, compassionate, professional…and I daresay ethereal. Her techniques are precise. Her evaluations and diagnostics are deliberate and thoughtful. She truly wants to know the person behind the physical person she is treating. Dr. Rozenn has been working with me for three and a half months now. She developed a treatment plan for me based not only on the physical effects of overcoming a drug addiction, but also on my life experiences, emotional states, current events in my life, and maybe most importantly, based on the energetic crisis I suffered due to trauma and subsequent weakness that created openings for negativity to enter and attach to my internal world. I have no doubt that her work is authentic and effective. I truly thought in the months after getting clean that I would never feel normal again…let alone full of the joy, clarity, and vitality I’ve reclaimed in light of the healing process.–E.B. Santa Cruz

 Chinese Medical theory holds that the body is not separate from the mind. Thus, emotional and psychological pain is treated no differently than physical pain. Prolonged physical pain can make someone depressed, while emotional turmoil can manifest physically.
The first time I saw this clearly was when I was a Masters student. I had a patient with wrist pain that I could not budge! I tried everything, every herbal and acupuncture treatment I could think of and still, the pain remained unchanged. At that point I referred him to one of my teachers. I was fortunate enough to be able to observe the office visit and acupuncture treatment. She asked him a very important question which had never occurred to me to ask, Continued reading >

 The following is a particularly eloquent email one of my patients sent me before she made her first appointment. Like many women with PCOS, hers was a trying path to pregnancy. However, with the right combination of Chinese and Western medicine, she was able to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. To the left is a picture of her beautiful baby girl.
This is an excellent example of the type of inquiries I get weekly. The following excerpt of our communication is posted with her permission and request to remain anonymous. Her email is in italics and my response is bolded.
Hello, I am searching for a practitioner with knowledge, patience, and a history of success in treating women with PCOS. Continued reading >

Nothing makes me happier than following up with a patient who became pregnant under my care. For example, yesterday Isaw a patient who I haven’t seen since her first trimester. Now she is in her 36th week. She wrote of her experience during her first trimester:
I am research scientist, and I have always been a little skeptical about acupuncture and other non-western medical practices. After my experience with Dr. Rozenn, however, I enthusiastically recommend her for the treatment of fertility issues. My husband and I were trying to conceive for the second time and after a year, we saw an M.D. specialist in infertility. He explained that Western medicine had no easy answer for my particular issue (my cycles were short and he suspected I was ovulating before my eggs were mature), and recommended that I try meditation or yoga as a first strategy. He also mentioned that there was a program available that combined standard infertility treatment with acupuncture. After talking to a friend of mine (who recommended Dr. Rozenn), I decided to try acupuncture alone for three months and then reassess my options. Dr. Rozenn was willing to work with me either with or without parallel treatment from my M.D. and Continued reading >

 I have just returned from the Reproductive Medical Center and Fertility Center (RMFC) in Colorado Springs where I completed a preceptorship and co-authored a research study on acupuncture and IVF.
I feel so fortunate to be the only acupuncturist from the Santa Cruz area who has done a preceptorship at RMFC, the fertility clinic with the largest database of acupuncture + IVF patients in the world. During this training I observed artificial reproductive medicine techniques (ART) such as IVF, IUI, and ICSI (a fertilization technique used to combine sperm and egg during IVF). It was an amazing view into the world of Western reproductive medicine. While I have been using Oriental medicine for several years to enhance fertility naturally and in combination with ART, Continued reading >
