“Ben is so gifted at what he does and has a huge, kind, warm heart. I feel so much better after my sessions and he guides me with supplements that give me lasting results.
I'm also a clinician and recommend him to and clients who are in need of his expertise. I've sent my family and friends as well. They all love him!”

About Benjamin Dierauf
As an Acupuncturist in Lafayette with 25+ years of experience, I can help you with the treatment of aches and pains, injuries, digestive disorders, gynecological issues, allergies, immune deficiencies, fatigue, sleep disorders, stress, and many other conditions. For information on conditions I work with, check out ?Illnesses/Health Imbalances Treated.'
After completing the Initial Intake Form, your first visit includes a detailed review of the issues affecting your health and quality of life. From this, we will work out a comprehensive treatment plan together. Besides acupuncture, I may prescribe herbal medicine and supplements and use other modalities to help you, including bodywork, moxa, suction cups, and guasha (dermal scraping). For more info, check out ?Common Acupuncture Questions.'
As a former Professor and Academic Dean of the Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College, Berkeley, and a practitioner of Functional Medicine, I have a unique perspective on the strengths and benefits of this ancient medicine, its integration with modern medicine, and how it can benefit you.
More recently, I've started studying Functional Medicine with the Kalish Institute. This is like holistic Western medicine, whereby innovative lab tests that assess hormone levels, organic acid markers, and digestive function and dysbiosis are used to evaluate the status of your body's systems.
I hold a Master's in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the California Institute of Integral Studies. I also earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Ben listens deeply to your issue and each time gives you a unique set of points which normally takes care of the problem within a very short time.
He is quite skilled at connecting to the Chi as I feel a deep shift in my emotional state that the time I leave.
