Hello!

Acupuncturist & Licensed Massage Therapist

Dr. Christina Barton is a licensed acupuncturist and certified massage therapist with over a decade of experience in integrative care. She earned her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) from Pacific College of Health and Science and began her journey in healing through massage therapy after graduating from Mueller College in 2015.

Christina’s clinical foundation is rooted in hands-on healing. She has spent years helping patients manage chronic pain, muscle tension, and emotional distress through bodywork.
