Chronic pain and traumatic injuries

Neurological conditions

Mental and emotional health, including anxiety and depression

Chronic hormonal and digestive issues

Skin conditions

Above all, Dr. Terra’s priority is creating a safe, comfortable environment where patients feel supported throughout their healing journey.

Her Path to Chinese Medicine

Dr. Terra’s path to Chinese medicine began with a deep appreciation for the human body, developed while competing internationally as an elite acrobatic gymnast. She entered college intending to pursue medical school, but when her own health challenges responded to acupuncture, herbal medicine, and dietary and lifestyle changes, her perspective shifted.

As she worked toward a more balanced way of living, she found a natural fit in a medicine built on the principle of balance itself. That discovery redirected her path from Western medicine to Eastern medicine — though her fascination with how the two intersect has never faded.

Outside the Clinic When she’s not treating patients, Dr. Terra is a certified yoga teacher who loves surfing, hiking, snowboarding, and any activity that gets her outdoors and moving.

Dr. Terra treats on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 AM-6 PM, Fridays 1 PM-5 PM, and every other Sunday, 9 AM-5 PM. Dr. Terra is fluent in English.

Dr. Rowan Hansen’s path into Traditional Chinese Medicine began close to home. Watching her mother find lasting relief from debilitating migraines through acupuncture and herbal medicine — after years of unsuccessful treatments — sparked a curiosity that never left her. It was proof, early on, that this medicine could work differently, and better.

Raised in Santa Cruz, CA, Dr. Hansen grew up in a family rooted in community activism and education, with a particular focus on underserved populations. That sense of purpose has remained central to her practice. She also developed a deep love for plants — not just for their beauty, but for their remarkable capacity to heal.

Dr. Hansen completed her graduate training at Five Branches University (2015–2020), where she concentrated in herbal medicine, emotional wellness, and autoimmune conditions. The program’s integrative approach — bridging Eastern and Western medicine — gave her a strong foundation for navigating complex and multifaceted cases. Following graduation, she spent several years treating patients in community health settings, working with individuals facing mental health challenges, addiction, and chronic pain.

Today, Dr. Hansen brings that same depth of care and clinical experience to every patient she sees at Box Acupuncture. She has a particular passion for conditions that have resisted conventional treatment and for patients who feel they’ve run out of options. Outside the clinic, she can be found mountain biking, hiking, or tending her garden in the Santa Cruz mountains, where she lives with her husband, their child, and two cats. A lifelong reader, she’s always in the middle of a good fantasy or adventure novel.

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine officially came into my life during my third year at the University of Texas at Austin while pursuing my Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology. I was stressed during midterms and was taking Claritin due to seasonal allergies. A friend of mine introduced me to South Austin Community Acupuncture during this time and after my first treatment, I instantly felt relief. I felt more calm and was able to think more clearly and the symptoms of my allergies such as runny nose, itchy red eyes, etc. were greatly reduced.

Seeing and being taught the limitations of Western Medicine and Pharmaceuticals during my undergraduate career, I realized that Traditional Chinese Medicine and its holistic view of the human body was more in line with my passion for helping others. However, I firmly believe the each medicine complements the other and the integration of both can greatly benefit every patient.

Combining my interests and hobbies of fitness, food, meditation, and helping others, I furthered my education by becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Certified Primal Health Coach, Certified Medical Qigong Practitioner, and Certified Sports and Orthopedic Medicine while here in California.

I enjoy helping people achieve their health goals by integrating nutrition, movement, meditation, and Traditional Chinese Medicine into my treatment plans. A good life is ultimately about balance and I hope that I can share that knowledge with all of my patients.

Currently Dr. Aaron is working with the NHL San Jose Sharks and AHL San Jose Barracuda as the team Licensed Acupuncturist and Dry Needling Therapist.

Dr. Aaron is treating on Saturdays and Sundays 9 AM-5 PM and Mondays and Tuesdays from 10 AM-6 PM. Dr. Aaron is fluent in English and some Mandarin chinese.

Sayaka Tanouchi is a California Licensed Acupuncturist and Doctor of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine whose path into healing began with a deep curiosity about the human body.

She originally trained as a scientist, earning a PhD in Engineering from Keio University in Japan, and spent many years working in medical engineering and clinical research.

Her journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine was shaped by a personal experience with infertility treatment. Through her experience, Sayaka realised that while evidence-based science provides strong clinical effects and reproducibility, it cannot yet fully capture the complexity of the human body.

TCM’s holistic approach often fills that gap, and she continually seeks to integrate both perspectives. In her practice, Sayaka uses a range of therapeutic tools, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping, medical massage, and dietary and supplement advice.

Her clinical focus includes pain management, women’s health, fertility support, and emotional health, with each treatment thoughtfully tailored to the individual.

She integrates insights from Eastern medicine and Western medicine, aiming to offer patients clear, realistic guidance that supports motivation for lasting health. Outside the clinic, she enjoys winemaking, tea ceremony, sewing, and playing pickleball, which help her maintain balance and mindfulness in everyday life.

Dr. Tronica Vanzant is a double board-certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist who specializes in pain, fatigue, anxiety, and chronic health challenges.

She previously held leadership positions at large technology, consulting, and aerospace companies. The extreme duress of weekly travel, extended long work hours under high-pressure conditions, working on multiple $100 billion projects as a consultant at Accenture, and while pregnant, led her to experience both adrenal fatigue and anemia-induced depression during pregnancy and post-partum.

She understands firsthand how issues like thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, and blood circulation problems not only contribute to chronic pain, fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but can also keep these conditions from resolving when the underlying root causes are not addressed.

Dr. Vanzant started her foray into Chinese Medicine with a nudge from her father, who was a longtime user of acupuncture for his chronic back pain. She started by learning equine acupressure for the benefit of her ailing dressage horse Gus. The benefits she saw for her own horse and those of neighbors and friends led her to go back to school to become a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist.

Even in her early career in technology, Dr. Vanzant has always cared about how people feel, function, and relate to one another. She believes that when we are in pain physically or emotionally, feel overwhelmed or ungrounded, it’s tough to show up and participate fully in our jobs, with our families and friends, and in life, and we all benefit when each of us is able to bring our full abilities to what we are passionate about.

Her approach blends evidence-based Eastern medicine with a holistic understanding of the body, mind, and spirit.

Her journey into integrative care began in childhood, where herbal remedies were a household staple. While earning her Bachelor’s in Biology, she explored the Western model of healthcare, but soon felt called to bridge it with more natural, holistic methods.

Dr. Juweria provides acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion, and nutrition-based lifestyle counseling to restore balance in the body’s internal systems. She emphasizes whole-person wellness, focusing on:
