Marin Family Acupuncture
908 E Street, San Rafael, CA, 94901
Kenji is the co-founder of Marin Family Acupuncture. He was drawn to the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine because it resonated with his ideas of health and disease. The Chinese medicine perspective of the body reflects patterns found in nature. Kenji found it inspiring working in community health settings in San Francisco treating addiction, mental health issues, and pain. He values collaborating with the Western medical community. Working several years at an integrated pharmacy allowed him to offer Chinese medicine based classes to the community of Marin County. Kenji became certified in Sports Medicine through mentoring with Whitfield Reaves, L.Ac. This specialization is an extension of his love for trail running (with his beloved dog) and mountain biking, as well as his experience as a rock climber and mountaineer. As an athlete, he has a strong understanding of body mechanics and the importance of good nutrition. He worked for four season with the Dominican University Men’s Basketball Team providing performance enhancement and pain relief using acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Kenji has been an adjunct faculty member at American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, teaching doctoral courses on Orthopedics and pain management utilizing acupuncture.
