Marti Lee Kennedy is one of  the pioneer practitioners in the field of Chinese Medicine in the United States.  She began her studies of acupuncture and herbal medicine in 1970 and graduated from the North American College of Acupuncture in British Columbia in 1972.  Her graduate studies include two years in Asia, including clinical training at Osaka Medical College in Japan.  Her eclectic training was received through study with the great masters of Chinese Medicine throughout Southeast Asia, India and Sri Lanka.  Dr. Kennedy specializes in women's health care with a focus on pregnancy issues and fertility challenges as well as general family health care.  She is here to assist you in your healing process.  The integration of the mind, body and spirit connection is the most important part of her work.

While Marti treats both men and women, she has a particular sensitivity towards women's health issues.  Her specialty in Obstetrics and Gynecology has led quite naturally to treating babies and children.  Because she is a specialist in the field of fertility, pregnancy and post partum care, she has helped hundreds of women who were unable to conceive become pregnant and have healthy children.  Acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments enhance fertility and prevent problems that could otherwise arise during pregnancy.  Regular acupuncture visits throughout a woman's pregnancy can prevent morning sickness, miscarriage, gestational diabetes, hypertension, back pain, premature labor, breech presentation and many other disharmonies.
