About Us

Licensed Acupuncturist | Wellness & Natural Health Specialist
Travis Johnson, LAc.
Travis' interest in East Asian and Holistic medicine began at a young age due to stories of his great grandfather who immigrated to the U.S. from China and practiced Traditional East Asian Medicine to heal family and friends. Since receiving a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, earning a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine, and studying other health modalities, Travis has deepened his reverence for ancient methods and learned how to approach his practice with modern perspectives. Travis views each individual’s health through an integrative lens and aims to address patient’s needs while treating the underlying root causes thereby bringing about balance and lasting relief. Travis enjoys layering his medical knowledge of Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine into each patients' individualized treatment for the best results.
