Personalized Acupuncture & Holistic Wellness

Beth Theodore provides holistic wellness solutions through personalized acupuncture, herbal medicine, and integrative therapies. With over two decades of experience since graduating from Samra University in 2000, Beth combines classical Japanese acupuncture techniques with modern wellness practices. Our practice addresses chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, fertility challenges, and emotional health concerns through individualized treatment plans. We utilize acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, nutrition, and neuro-emotional techniques to treat root causes rather than symptoms. Serving Manhattan Beach and surrounding areas, we offer both in-person and virtual consultations for greater accessibility.

Our commitment to holistic healing extends to wellness workshops, meditation sessions, and community outreach programs. Every treatment emphasizes creating a safe space for patients to feel heard and supported throughout their healing journey. We maintain active continuing education in health-related fields to ensure evidence-based care. Our practice has been featured in multiple publications and has co-authored books on Chinese Medicine applications. We prioritize patient comfort through gentle techniques that minimize anxiety, particularly for first-time acupuncture recipients.

Services

Acupuncture

Customized acupuncture treatments address chronic pain, hormonal imbalances, and emotional health concerns using sterile, single-use needles. Sessions focus on restoring energy flow and promoting natural healing processes. Each treatment incorporates patient-specific point selection based on comprehensive health assessments.

Herbal Medicine

Personalized herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments using high-quality, traditionally-sourced botanical ingredients. Protocols target specific health concerns like menopausal symptoms, digestive issues, and immune support while considering individual constitution and health history.

Neuro-Emotional Technique

This mind-body therapy identifies and resolves emotional blockages stored in physical patterns. By combining muscle response testing with acupuncture point stimulation, NET helps alleviate anxiety, trauma-related conditions, and stress-induced physical symptoms through gentle, non-invasive methods.

Beth is the loveliest soul I've ever met. She is warm, caring and incredibly kind. Her guidance and insights come with authority. I know I'm safe under her care.

Had my first acupuncture appointment with Beth. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and was able to target my problem areas. She explained everything as she went and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The needles are tiny and you barely feel them. I feel very relaxed (an hour later) and plan to take her advice and soak in a nice, epsom salt bath.

Beth is amazing. I came to her for lower back pain and feminine issues. Within 1 month of weekly appointments I had significant improvement. Now I only go monthly to keep it under control. She is so sweet, knowledgeable, and caring. Highly recommend!

I am so grateful I found Beth! I've been going to different acupuncturists since college and she is by far the best acupuncturist I've had! Beth really cares about her patients and really has their best interests in mind. She's experienced, knowledgeable, very caring, and very easy to talk to! I always feel tons better after our sessions and would definitely recommend her to friends and family!

Problem solved! I had a feminine pain problem for over a year that multiple OBGYNs could not figure out. After many failed treatments I found Beth. In only 3 visits I was cured! I know my problem could return but I have not experienced a pain free reprieve like this in over a year. I feel so relaxed and peaceful, physically but also mentally after having such a frustrating mystery solved. I'm now being treated by her for my asthma and allergies, and plan to consult her for any other problems that arise. She is so caring, knowledgeable, and gentle. I couldn't ask for more!

After moving from NY to the South Bay last year and leaving behind my wonderful acupuncturist, I was skeptical that I'd find an equally great replacement to help treat my TMJ. That's why it was such a relief to find Beth!

Beth is a highly experienced and capable practitioner who really cares about her patients and their healing. In addition to treating the symptoms of a condition, she also uses acupuncture to address the underlying emotional causes that often contribute to the issue. This, in my opinion, makes her really stand apart from your typical acupuncturist.
