Meet Kristo

Welcome to Wandering Sage Acupuncture, a culmination of over two decades of experience and refinement. I am a mobile acupuncture and herbal medicine practitioner that brings pain relief and healing to your home or office. I eliminate the need to secure transportation or drive to your appointment. You provide the space and I provide the wellness. I offer my services throughout most of San Luis Obispo County.

Wandering Sage Acupuncture was born from my need to share the knowledge I have gained from over 25 years of study and practice. My journey began in 1996 when I began studying Taoist philosophy and Tai Chi with Master Tzeng Yu Huang. The desire to use and translate the natural movements I had learned in Tai Chi into my everyday reality inspired me to pursue a career in bodywork.  In 2006, I completed my massage training at Brenneke School of Massage in Seattle. While I have a profound admiration for the benefits of massage and feel blessed to have been able to provide bodywork to thousands of bodies over a span of almost two decades, at the time I felt limited in my ability to put into practice the subtleties of Qi I had learned through my Tai Chi practice.  

The principles of balance and harmony that permeate Taoist philosophy are the same principles that form the foundation of acupuncture and herbal medicine. I was determined to deepen my understanding of Qi through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medical Theory. After four years of full-time study, I completed my Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego in 2012.  

Acupuncture and herbal medicine allow me to create positive change in my patients in a wonderfully elegant and effective method. I feel fortunate to have a career that I not only enjoy, but also continues to expand my understanding and keep my curiosity alive. I am proud to be part of the Central Coast community and call it my home. I look forward to being part of your wellness journey.  Peace.
