Marti Lee Kennedy is a pioneer in the practice of Chinese Medicine in the United States. She graduated from the North American College of Acupuncture in British Columbia in 1972. Marti continued to train post-graduation. She traveled throughout Southeast Asia, India, and Sri Lanka to study with the great masters of Chinese Medicine. Her post-graduate education included clinical training at the Osaka Medical College in Japan.

While Dr. Kennedy’s acupuncture practice in Berkeley treats both men and women, her specialty is in women’s health issues. As an acupuncturist with foundations in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she focuses on fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum challenges.

Dr. Kennedy believes that the integration of mind, body, and spirit is the most important part of her work. She has helped hundreds of women who were unable to conceive become pregnant and have healthy children.
