About
Big River Acupuncture
Andrea and Michael Booi, founders of Coast Family Acupuncture, have been providing Traditional Chinese Medicine care for over 30 years! Patients benefit from their decades of experience and expertise.
Gentle and wise, Michael Booi has years of experience treating musculoskeletal pain, including neck and shoulder pain, pain in arms and hands, mid and low back pain, and issues involving hips, knees and ankles.
An accomplished performing musician, Michael has treated many high achievers in music, business and sport, where a combination of repetitive motion and chronic or acute stress can cause significant and distracting discomfort. 10,000 hours of focus, whether on a bicycle, cello, or in front of a computer, can create tension along with mastery.
Michael uses his decades of study and practice to precisely customize a unique treatment plan for each patient. His treatments employ trigger point treatment, Sports Medicine Acupuncture, Japanese Acupuncture, Shiatsu Massage, Electro Acupuncture and more.
With her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Integrative Medicine and Counseling Psychology, Andrea provides effective care in a comfortable, professional environment.
Along with compassion and deep listening, Andrea brings decades of experience caring for patients and clients of all ages, stages and genders. Healing begins with calming and regulating the nervous system so we can regain our peace and equilibrium. This allows our body's innate healing capacity to kick in, repairing and rebalancing us.
Andrea specializes in caring for women, from menarche (our first period) to menopause and beyond, supporting not only reproductive health, but also the sexual, relational and mental wellbeing.
