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.

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.
