Sharon Ornellas, Licensed Acupuncturist
My name is Sharon Ornellas and I am a California Licensed Acupuncturist, License #AC 9207. I graduated from Five Branches University with a Master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (M.T.C.M.). My undergraduate degree is in Psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz. I have been in private practice in Santa Cruz, California since 2003.
I’ve created a warm, comfortable and secure environment for my patients to receive acupuncture. I use thin gauge needles and do not believe acupuncture should be painful. In my practice I have had the pleasure of working with people of all ages, from young children to the elderly.

Testimonial
"Sharon's treatments have done wonders for me. I originally came to her for anxiety which she has really helped me get under control, but I am finding more and more that any need I may have, she can address. She is incredibly skilled at what she does and really listens to what you have to say while creating a very nurturing and comfortable environment. I have had noticeable results and would highly recommend her to anyone."
