Dr. Anne Reed (She/Her)
I was first introduced to holistic therapies in 1993, when I sustained an injury while playing volleyball. I wasn't recovering at the rate I wanted - in fact, I was a little afraid I might never fully recover - so when a friend of mine recommended acupuncture, I was willing to give it a try.
I was amazed by how relaxed I felt during and after the treatment - and by the rapid results. It wasn't long before I regained full mobility, and was able to enjoy my former level of activity. Acupuncture led me to homeopathy, which then led me to explore many other varieties of holistic medicine. After seeing so many instances of the curative power of holistic medicine, I realized that I wanted to integrate these therapies into my practice.
I earned an undergraduate degree from Mills College in 1994, and graduated from UC Davis Veterinary School in 1998. In 2000, I became certified in veterinary acupuncture through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society. I've also completed Dr. Richard Pitcairn's course in both Basic and Advanced Veterinary Homeopathy, and the Chi Institute's Advanced Herbal Medicine course, taught by Dr. Huisheng Xie. I became so impressed with TCVM food therapy that I helped develop a food supplement line based on TCVM principles, 5 Element Food Therapy.
Dr. Rothstein grew up on the East Coast and pursued a mix of careers before moving to California for vet school at UC Davis. They have since worked in the East Bay in small animal general practice, in addition to some work in shelter medicine, low cost community clinics, and wildlife rescue in their spare time.
Dr. Rothstein has always been drawn to integrative medicine. They studied acupuncture and food therapy at Chi University and are excited to continue learning and growing this part of their practice. They also have a special interest in behavior and fear free practices.
In their spare time, Mo enjoys hiking, swimming, climbing, kayaking, and making art. They live in Oakland with their two cats, Herbert and Hazel, and their dog Kodi
