Meet Your Local Alameda Acupuncturists:
Ten Kay, DAOM L.Ac
Ten specializes in helping people move through pain, injury, stress, and internal health imbalances by supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
Her treatments are especially helpful for those experiencing:
• Chronic or acute pain
• Injury recovery and orthopedic issues
• Stress, anxiety, and nervous system regulation
• Digestive or internal health concerns
• Fatigue, burnout, and overall wellness support
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Ten brings a highly integrative and hands-on approach to treatment. Her sessions may include a combination of acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, Chinese medical massage (tui na), therapeutic movement, and herbal medicine — creating a personalized treatment designed specifically for your body and health goals.
Patients often appreciate her ability to work both structurally and internally, addressing the root causes of imbalance rather than simply managing symptoms.
Ten’s path into Chinese medicine began after a knee injury redirected her early dream of becoming a dancer toward the world of healing. Since then, she has dedicated her career to studying the deep traditions of medicine and movement, earning her Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine and most recently her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2025.
Lilian Sie, DAOM L.Ac
Lilian is an acupuncturist and herbalist who was trained at the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland. Her exposure to Chinese Medicine came from her family.
As the daughter of Cantonese immigrants, she was fed a steady diet of herbs in my family’s cooking for nourishment. She first received acupuncture at age eight which instantly cured me of the stomach flu. These experiences have inspired her to pursue this medicine professionally
Before becoming an acupuncturist, she conducted academic research on maternal and child health outcomes. For nearly a decade, she contributed to and published studies at Stanford School of Medicine, California’s Environmental Protection Agency, and other public health departments. This background allows her to comfortably integrate biomedical concepts with Traditional Chinese Medicine in her practice.
In her work, she enjoys educating others about Chinese Medicine, sharing lifestyle tips, and building collaborative relationships with her patients as they navigate their journey to better health.
Appointments with Lilian Sie are now available, and we invite you to experience this powerful form of medicine as part of your wellness care.

This effect has been extensively studied through double blind controlled experiments that have demonstrated significant improvement in conditions such as sciatica.
Acupuncture may be just as effective – and safer – than antidepressants for treating depression. The medications used to treat depression are often accompanied by unwanted side effects that can impact a patient’s daily life.
Numerous studies have reported positive findings in the treatment of anxiety disorders such as panic disorders, phobias, and PTSD. It can also treat other mood disorders including bipolar and manic disorders by regulating emotions and decreasing the severity of mood swings
Research shows that acupuncture can have up to 90 percent success rate at treating sleep disorders, like insomnia.
Chinese medicine aims to treat insomnia by understanding what type of insomnia a person is suffering from – i.e., difficulty falling or staying sleep, vivid dreams.
If you suffer from tension headaches, cluster headaches, or migraines, you may benefit from treatment with acupuncture.
In one study, patients with chronic headaches experienced the equivalent of 22 fewer days of a headache per year with acupuncture. They also used 15 percent less medication and made 25 percent fewer visits to the doctor

Acupuncture can help decrease or relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome including pain, tenderness, acne, cramping, appetite changes, and insomnia. It can help women with fertility problems by regulating their cycles, restoring ovulation, and creating an ideal environment for implantation.
Acupuncture can treat all kinds of ailments related to pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum physical and emotional challenges. Acupuncture can treat back pain, sciatica, and other musculoskeletal pains related to pregnancy. It can also help with treating morning sickness.
When a woman is at her full-term, acupuncture can help prepare the body for and to induce labor. After giving birth, many women experience postpartum depression. Acupuncture is a safe and effective method for treating mood disorders after delivery.
Acupuncture FAQs
Discover how millions of people discover optimum health through Acupuncture.
Put simply, acupuncture is the insertion of fine, sterile needles at specific points to regulate the body’s energy flow and to treat a wide variety of ailments.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine form the cornerstones of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which has been practiced for over 2000 years. Acupuncture is based on the theory that the body’s vital energy, or Qi, sustains vitality. If this energy flow is disrupted, a person will experience pain or disease.
Acupuncture regulates the flow of Qi, and most people experience a profound relaxation during treatments. Modern research has shown that acupuncture works with the central nervous system to stimulate the release of endorphins, improve circulation, and enhance immune function.
The World Health Organization has recognized acupuncture as a treatment for many illnesses, and thousands of studies have shown its efficacy. You can find more information here.
Acupuncture is highly effective for almost any condition that Western medicine can treat, and for many it is more effective.
Some of the most common ailments for which patients seek treatments are: headaches, back and joint pain, gynecological conditions, carpel tunnel syndrome, depression, insomnia, asthma, addiction, stroke, sexual dysfunction, bladder/kidney disorders, high blood pressure, immune system deficiency, colds and flu, side effects of surgery and chemotherapy.
Because the body is an integrated system, Acupuncturists diagnose the specific ailment based on a holistic assessment of your overall health.
The Acupuncturist will ask about your medical history, current condition, lifestyle, appetite, body temperature, pain patterns, etc. She will also check your tongue, posture, and skin color and take your pulse in both wrists for signs or organ or energy imbalance.
To ensure you get the most out of your acupuncture session, please wear loose, comfortable clothing that can be pulled above the knees, elbows and abdomen. If this is your first time coming for acupuncture at Bespoke, be sure to complete the initial intake form. This information allows for a much better chance of getting to the root of the issue and providing the best possible treatment.
In order to determine the best treatment for you, the acupuncturist will ask about your medical history and symptoms and perform a physical exam. With this information, he will determine where to insert needles as well as any additional useful modalities.
Most Acupuncture needles are made of very thin, flexible stainless steel. They are inserted just below the skin.
Patients sometimes experience a tingling sensation or heat, a sign that energy is flowing, but they do not typically feel pain. If you feel some discomfort, the Acupuncturist can usually adjust the needle to relieve the pressure.
Usually, patients see improvements immediately, and some conditions require only one visit. Acute conditions are often cured or alleviated in two to three visits, while chronic conditions may require five to fifteen.
Acupuncturists complete extensive, advanced professional and academic training in science and medicine.
In California, they are required to complete a Master’s degree from an approved school and pass a comprehensive state licensing exam, one of the most rigorous in the country.
