Meet Dr. Kristin Buzzetta, DTCM, LAc
Hello! I'm Dr. Kristin Buzzetta, founder of Full Circle Wellness in Santa Cruz, California. My dedication to helping people stay active, connected to, and pain-free in their bodies has been a guiding focus of my life and education for the past 20 years. My work is grounded in a deep understanding of anatomy and a profound respect for the body’s innate intelligence and ability to heal itself. I love what I do, and I’m continually inspired by the wisdom and power that Traditional Chinese Medicine has to offer.
A Medicine Woman's Prayer
"I will not rescue you. For you are not powerless. I will not fix you. For you are not broken. I will not heal you. For I see you in your wholeness. I will walk with you through the darkness, as you remember your Light."

Acupuncture
Acupuncture supports the body's healing potential by improving the circulation of "qi" (life force energy) and blood through energetic pathways called "meridians." Acupuncture utilizes the weblike structure of the fascial network to deliver vital substances throughout the body, improving cellular communication and function at every level.
Therapeutic Bodywork
Therapeutic bodywork differs from traditional spa massage. Sessions are personalized to your individual needs, and multiple modalities are included to achieve whatever goals you're working towards. Whether it's recovering from an injury or surgery, improving athletic performance, reducing chronic stress and tension, or just a desire to take better care of yourself, receiving a therapeutic bodywork session will leave you feeling held, nurtured, and restored.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine forms the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). "Dis-ease" occurs when the body's ability to adapt to changes in the environment is impaired. Health is our natural state of being and TCM employs customized herbal formulas, lifestyle, and dietary recommendations to correct patterns of disharmony in the body.
