WE ALL DESERVE TO GIVE BACK TO OURSELVES, FIND A NEW WAY TO MOVE, FEEL STRENGTH AND SEE NEW BEAUTY. WHAT A DELIGHT TO FIND YOUR PROCESS AND TURN THE LIGHTS ON. 

WHAT IS NINE?

We are a community of healing practitioners who provide acupuncture services, massage, reiki and group events. The number nine represents the end of a cycle because it is the final number in the base 10 system. We support patients to the nth degree from one cycle to the next.

WHO IS NINE?

krystle-martinez-accupuncture-1958.jpg

No two client experiences are the same. We create a unique experience that addresses a patient’s needs and how we harness our combined expertise to achieve that, is central to everything that we do at Nine. We strive to always grow with our clients, address their changing health concerns, and take them to the next level of their health. When fears and feelings feel too big to navigate we use different tools to help patients find clarity and the will power to navigate their healing journey. We allow space to support maximum possibility so patients can feel like their original innate self. We allow patients to tap into the uncomfortable, familiar part of yourself that you always knew was there, but couldn’t access before.

TREATMENTS

PLANT THE SEED

FERTILITY CHALLENGES

Patients will need to get regular treatments about once a week for an estimated three-month period. Often times this program includes both partners. We focus on the menstrual cycle, how to have sex, and lifestyle choices.

MAMA ON THE MEND

POSTPARTUM CHALLENGES

Feeling sad and disconnected after having a baby is extremely common. The body needs recovery time while simultaneously taking care of a little one. Acupuncture nourishes the body, so the mama can rest and rejuvenate. 

SOOTHE & SETTLE

PAIN RELIEF

Old injuries and new injuries need a little help, so your own healing system can recoup faster and more efficiently. Our goal is that you will heal with less scar tissue and better range of motion.

GUTS & GLORY

DIGESTIVE ISSUES

This treatment is for digestive issues 

Maybe your digestive tract is sensitive or you battle an autoimmune condition, it can be challenging for most of us to find consistent and steady bathroom habits. This treatment helps to support and maintain a balance in the digest tract. 

AX ANXIETY

STRESS MANAGEMENT

This treatment is for stress management

Acupuncture releases endorphins, those feel good hormones that help us manage stress. This treatment also prevents and protects your body from the negative effects of stress.

A SPOON FULL OF ACUPUNCTURE

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Maybe it’s the season or life events, but you can’t seem to shake feeling run down. We treat allergies, stuffy head, sore throat, cough, and on and on. We also strengthen the immune system and prevent future sicknesses.

CHELSEA

BODY WORK

Chelsea Day is a Massage Therapist whose work has been described as transformative. She trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Five Branches University, and specialized in Craniosacral training with the Upledger Institute, Abdominal Massage with the Chi Nei Tsang Institute, and Transformative Bodywork with Fred Mitouer, Ph.D. Chelsea's love for the Five Element Archetypes is deepened with her advanced training with Lonny Jarrett, LAc. Each of these modalities influences her unique bodywork style with a Five Element flavor. Chelsea is also a certified Functional Health Coach, trained by the Kresser Institute. 

 

With all this knowledge, Chelsea understands the body as a map of patterns that weave together to tell the story of your life. These somatic stories begin to unravel on the treatment table when your body is deeply listened and attended to. Each session creates a container in which you bring what ails you and decide what to metabolize or what to let go of. No two sessions are alike...

 

Leading from the heart, Chelsea’s forte is supporting folks moving through challenging transitions, a delicate balance of finding the gold amidst the rubble and building a somatic foundation within that can weather the storm. Chelsea is a mother of two vivacious daughters and lives in West Marin, California.

BREATHE CLASS FOR MEN

NOVEMBER 2oth, 2024 
6PM - 7:30PM

Single Session - $85 

Join Amy Naber, MA, CHT, RYT, health and wellness expert and breathwork coach for a deep dive into our most powerful tool. THE BREATH 

Amy will guide us in how to Breathe Deeply Again to deepen the connection back to self, enhance self awareness, reduce stress, anxiety, increase deep sleep and clarity. 

Breathing happens automatically, so why learn simple breathing techniques? Many of us live in auto-pilot, often in a charged nervous system known as fight or flight. Moving from one thing to the next without much thought or breath awareness in between tasks, thoughts, experiences, feelings or emotions. 

We often hold our breath during the day or take short, shallow breaths. Keeping the nervous system in this fight or flight state of being. Which can affect sleep, energy level, concentration, anxiety and overall well being.

In this Breath Workshop we will move through four styles of Breathing techniques and a guided relaxation that will reduce the effects of stress and a taxed nervous system. 

Learning these will be life changing for yourself and your loved ones. A detailed handout will be included.

 

Bring: Dress in layers, a journal, pen, and water bottle. Email us to reserve a spot.
