I’m Dr. Grey Mountain
Welcome!
I am a licensed Acupuncturist and Primary Care Provider in California. I specialize in back, shoulder, and neck pain, immune system enhancement, digestive issues, insomnia, anxiety and depression management, stress relief, and hormonal balance support.
I also provide extensive assistance with facial and skincare, as well as hair care. If this means growing you a beard or thickening your hair, let’s get you growing!
I am deeply committed to ensuring that the transgender and LGBTQIA+ community have access to safe and exceptional healthcare. I strive to create an inclusive and compassionate environment for gender-affirming care, promoting body positivity, sex-positivity, and a non-judgmental, trauma and neurodivergent-informed approach.
Education
In partnership with Black Thorn in Oakland, Dr. Grey Mountain offers classes that allow you to practice some of the modalities offered in the office at home! These are not classes on how to give yourself or anyone else acupuncture, but more in alignment with bodywork, cupping, and aftercare techniques. Some classes help spark your imagination if you would like to cross over to the kinkier side of things with things like cupping.

In California, acupuncturists are not only specialists in traditional Chinese medicine but also recognized as primary care providers. This designation means that they are trained and licensed to be the first point of contact for individuals seeking healthcare, especially for conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, stress-related disorders, and more. As primary care providers, they can diagnose, treat, and manage a variety of health challenges using acupuncture combined with other traditional Chinese medicine techniques. Patients can directly consult with acupuncturists without needing referrals, ensuring an integrated approach to healthcare that blends the best of Eastern and Western medical traditions.

Picture it: You’ve been on T for a while and your face just hasn’t gotten the memo. Or maybe you aren’t on T and your face didn’t even know there was a memo to get. In either case, micro-needling can help get you started on the path of full facial hair. It can start growth, or fill in where you may need a little more. Check out the packages page for pricing and lets get you growing!
