Complimentary and alternative medicine will bring your body back into balance, prevent disease and alleviate present illnesses. Dr. Marina Dabcevic earned her master's in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture at Yo San University in Los Angeles, California. After successfully passing the national as well as California licensing exams, Dr. Dabcevic earned her doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. She completed a 1-year internship at Skagit Valley Regional Cancer Care Center, where she worked closely with doctors and patients. She also completed an internship at two prestigious hospitals in China. Prior to her studies in Eastern medicine, Dr. Dabcevic earned a diploma in Reflexology and a bachelor's in Homeopathy at the Nature Care College in Syndey, Australia. As a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, Dr. Dabcevic specializes in oncology and chronic pain management. Her approach is holistic, taking into account not only each patient's physical state but also his or her mental and emotional states. The body is entirely connected and, we know that the physical state has an impact on the mental and emotional states, just as much as the emotional state influences the body physically. Dr. Dabcevic tailors each treatment specifically to each patient, and strives to achieve the best end result the patient requires. Her goal is not only to help her patients but to educate them so each patient can help themselves.

Did you know your body has over 2,000 acupuncture points connected by energy pathways called meridians? These channels carry Qi (pronounced “chee”), your body’s life force. When Qi is blocked, it can lead to imbalances and health issues.

Acupuncture supports gut health by restoring this natural energy flow. It treats the body as a whole. not just symptoms, unlike the compartmentalized approach of Western medicine. While it’s not a quick fix, acupuncture is a powerful partner in your gut-healing journey.

Curious how it can help you? Slide into our DMs, we’re here to guide you.
