Welcome.

If you’re new to True Nature Wellness in Sebastopol, CA, I’m glad you found your way here.

I’m Chase Desso, L.Ac. — a licensed acupuncturist with over a decade of clinical experience and a Master’s degree in Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine from Berkeley. My work integrates Traditional Chinese Medicine, orthopedic-focused care, and hands-on bodywork.

Whether you’re seeking support for pain, stress, recovery, or something harder to name — we’ll approach it thoughtfully and systematically.

You don’t need to have it all figured out before you arrive.

What I Commonly Treat

Many people come to me for:

• Neck, back, shoulder, and TMJ pain

• Chronic tension and stress-related symptoms

• Headaches and jaw clenching

• Digestive imbalance

• Postural strain and overuse injuries

• Persistent symptoms that haven’t fully responded elsewhere

If you’re unsure whether your concern fits, you’re welcome to reach out.

What the First Visit Is Like

Your initial session is 75–90 minutes.

We’ll begin with a detailed conversation about your health history, current concerns, and goals. I use traditional diagnostic methods alongside modern assessments when appropriate.

Treatment may include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, manual therapy, or herbal recommendations — depending on what your body calls for that day.

Throughout the session, consent and communication guide the work. You remain in control.

My Approach

I believe effective treatment requires both technical skill and presence.

My clinical work is rooted in pattern differentiation and channel theory within Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the same time, I pay close attention to how stress, posture, injury, and life transitions affect the nervous system.

The goal isn’t just symptom relief — it’s restoring coherence in the body.

Working Together

This practice tends to be a good fit for people who want careful, individualized care — whether they’re navigating musculoskeletal pain, nervous system overwhelm, or complex, multi-layered health issues.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, steady approach rather than a quick fix, we’ll likely work well together.

For Providers

I welcome referrals from physicians, therapists, and allied practitioners. I specialize in musculoskeletal pain, nervous system regulation, and complex cases requiring careful, individualized care.
