Courtney Bird is a California state licensed Acupuncturist, Herbalist and Massage Therapist. From an early age, Courtney found that time spent in nature produced a profound healing effect on my mind, body and spirit. Inspired by nature based healing she began studying at College of the Healing Arts in Santa Cruz, CA where she graduated as a Massage Therapist in 2002. It was there that she learned about Five Element Medicine and Acupressure. She found that using Five Element theory and Acupressure points in her massage practice produced highly effective, dare to say: magical results. This inspired her to deepen her knowledge and pursue a career as an acupuncturist. Courtney completed a Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine at South Baylo University, Anaheim, CA and advanced training at The Institute of Classical Five Elements Acupuncture in Santa Monica, CA. Her passion is helping others restore health and balance to their lives using both ancient and modern applications of natural medicine.
She is currently practicing Five Element Acupuncture, Cupping, TCM bodywork and Massage at Revive Qi Health Center in Irvine, CA.
