KETER, pronounced Keht-air, means crown, peak, and pinnacle, and sits atop the Kabbalist map of human anatomy. It represents the luminous vibrancy that is possible when our bodies are fundamentally well.
Mission
We practice the art and science of acupuncture and herbal medicine to facilitate the emergence of vitality and creativity. Through this work, you come to know yourself as a robust, empowered visionary authoring a more beautiful world.
Values
Your health is your greatest asset.
No matter what you want—a fulfilling career, meaningful relationships, longevity—none of it is possible without a foundation of health. For us, health means your physiological systems are functioning optimally, and on most days, you rise with the sun and experience yourself as resilient and strong.
Good medicine integrates perspectives.
Where traditional Western medicine is consumed by a reductionist paradigm, classical Eastern medicine offers a perspective where complex, nuanced systems thinking thrives. Your emotional health and physical health are deeply connected, and you often don’t need to see multiple specialists in order to achieve your goals.
Our approach is rooted in evidence-based, time-tested strategies that consider the entirety of your life and experience.
We stay informed about current research on conventional approaches, pharmaceuticals, and other modalities in order to provide thoughtful, integrated care for a lifetime of wellness.
Great medicine is rigorous and deep.
Herbal medicine and acupuncture are comprehensive systems of natural and minimally invasive treatment methods. By design, they offer curative and preventative medicine for physiological, mental, and emotional ailments at every age and stage of development.
Our diagnostic rigor and precision stand miles apart from every other medical model we have experienced and studied.
Our practice has offered resolution for hundreds of clients who had exhausted conventional medical approaches, and were feeling hopeless and discouraged.
Excellent medicine is liberation work.
Good health, in and of itself, is not the goal. We become resilient and strong as individuals in order to embolden our pursuits of freedom and peace.
This can look like profound work in the personal domain, or collective efforts against the systemic oppressions of capitalism, sexism, and racism.
We are here to create a more beautiful and more just world. Becoming healthy is the first step.
