About Kyle 

Kyle Hartman is a Classical Five Element Acupuncturist certified by both the National Board of Acupuncture and the California Acupuncture board.  

A word From Kyle:

My work began as a builder and a fixer.  I have a degree in architecture and prior to pursuing medicine, I worked in design build. In my woodwork and building practice, I am inspired by the patterns of nature, and use materials in ways that highlight their beauty and potential, creating objects and spaces that evoke a sense of calm and connection, at once “at home” and expansive.  When I first received a Five Element Acupuncture treatment, I felt exquisitely calm and connected to the world around me.  Immediately, I realized that what I was attempting to create through design build could be accomplished more directly with needles. While I still love building (mostly furniture these days), my true calling is helping my patients connect more deeply with themselves. I am passionate about helping others feel at home in their bodies, alleviating pain and illness, and inviting a sense of expansiveness in daily life. 

When I am not in the office you can usually find me at home in Bolinas where I live with my wife Julie, son Lev and daughter Uma.  I maintain an art and woodwork practice (see my work HERE) and spend as much time as possible in the ocean looking for waves.  

As a practitioner, I am always seeking to add new modalities that make me a more effective healer. Some of my certifications include:Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine – The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine
