Hi, I’m Chase Desso
I help people come home to themselves. Whether you’re navigating chronic pain, lingering migraines, anxious nights, or the weight of old patterns, I’m here to guide your body back toward balance and ease. Drawing on a wide range of holistic tools and a deep respect for your story, I create space for your system to soften, unwind, and heal at its own pace.
I’ve been immersed in the world of natural health since becoming a certified massage therapist back in 1998. From there, my curiosity kept growing — leading me to explore nutrition, herbal medicine, and countless ways to support the body’s innate ability to heal. In 2014, I completed my formal acupuncture and Chinese medicine training at AIMC Berkeley, bringing it all together into a practice that’s grounded in experience, fueled by genuine care, and tailored to each person’s unique path.
At True Nature Wellness—the clinic I founded to be a true sanctuary for all bodies and welcoming to all identities—you’ll find gentle, intuitive care rooted in both knowledge and heart. Here, every part of you is welcome. Together, we’ll listen closely to what your body is saying, so you can step forward more embodied, more awake, and more aligned into the life you long to live.
