“The goal is not to demonstrate strength, power or violence. The goal is to attain serenity, tranquility, and the discovery of oneself. It is truly an exercise of the mind”

Master Kai Ying Tung speaking on the Chinese art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan


“Simply put, Joseph Acquah is a phenomenal acupuncturist. He brings exquisite attunement, decades of wisdom, a generous heart, and truly masterful skills. He is able to realign energy and activate healing with precision, empathy, and a fine sense of humor. Joseph is the healer I trust the most with my own health, and he is the only acupuncturist to whom I refer patients, family members, and dear friends.”

“When experience counts, there is no other choice. I have been sharing patients with Joseph for the past 16 years. There is no problem too complex for him to manage. He is truly a master!”

“I have known Dr. Acquah for nearly 40 years! He was my acupuncturist when I lived in Los Angeles and treated me for a painful disease (endometriosis). Along with a change in diet, it was the first time EVER that I was pain-free. I was able to put down the narcotics doctors had given me for years. Now that he is in the Bay area, he has once again become my acupuncturist and herbalist. I have learned to consult with him along with any MD I am seeing. He is kind, patient, thorough and his knowledge is superior! I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
