Marny Culpepper, L.Ac.

Practitioner

Marny Culpepper, L.Ac.

Marny Culpepper, L.Ac. is a California state-licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. She is nationally certified as a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) with specialties in pain, hormone imbalance, advanced-age fertility, pregnancy, post-partum and perimenopause.

Marny is candid about her experience of recovery and parenting as an advanced-age mom.  She’s no stranger to the emotional and physical strain that can accompany that, which is precisely what makes her the dedicated and skilled provider she is today.  She offers patients a clear roadmap to healing, using tangible data like tracking and testing to corral intangible experiences like mood swings, irregular cycles, sporadic pain, cravings, and hot flashes.  Marny has advanced training and certifications in Functional Medicine, Neurological Fitness, and Heart Math.

You’ll find Marny tending to her own nervous system with regular wrestling matches with her little kids on the living room floor, tooling around the island of Alameda where she and her family reside, stand up paddle boarding, and tinkering in the kitchen, whipping up simple goodness and exploring new food trends that are healthy and nourishing.

"The nervous system is the gatekeeper to healing and acupuncture gives us access to healing beyond the gate."

" had been trying to get pregnant for two years when I came to see Marny. My periods were irregular and I knew that was effecting everything. Immediately after I saw Marny, I had my strongest ovulation test. It was that cycle we were able to conceive without IVF or IUI. I was so so, so happy!!"

"Working with Marny has been such a gift! I started seeing her for fertility support since my cycles were very irregular. Not only did she provide acupuncture services, but she also supported me with dietary and lifestyle changes and provided me with herbs to assist in regulating my cycles. I got pregnant immediately with our first IUI procedure!"
