O.M. // FOUNDER Hi, I am Andrea Allerton and I am a Licensed Acupuncturist with experience in the healing arts since 1997. I started my path in pre-med, but then fell in love with alternative medicine when I started working as a Licensed Massage Therapist at Hippocrates Health Institute when I was 22 years old. There, I had the opportunity to work with many individuals who were battling cancer or rare ailments who sought out holistic medicine after finding that conventional medicine alone was not able to help. After witnessing recovery and healing in those individuals who had changed their diet, lifestyle, mindset, and connected to a spiritual practice, I wanted to learn more. My own health was not optimal, I was the kid who had migraines at 8, had pretty bad eczema, mild asthma and chronic sinus infections until young adulthood. My mother, only knowing what she knew, would follow the doctors orders and I was constantly on meds. I was bloated, had sensitivity to chemicals, foods, and the environment. As I started working at Hippocrates, I followed their plant based diet with juicing greens and wheatgrass daily. I was losing weight, my eczema and chronic sinus infections were clearing and my sensitivities were diminishing. I was 22 yrs old at the time and I was on fire to find a path that could help people help themselves. I had a mentor who introduced me to tai chi and medical qigong, which opened my world to Chinese Medicine. After getting married and establishing a holistic massage career, my husband and I moved to California in 2003. I was ready to continue on the path to deepen my knowledge and education, so I enrolled in a four year program in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine at Emperor's College of Oriental Medicine in Santa Monica, and completed an internship at the 2nd Affiliated Hospital in Nanjing, China. I earned my masters degree in 2009, and Modus Acupuncture was born in 2010. I fell in love with the philosophy and results that Chinese medicine provided because it bridged the gap where allopathic medicine could not. I believe both conventional and holistic medicine are needed because they each have a role to play. https://www.modusacupuncture.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/06acb57c-8f09-418d-bf02-11b56baf6542/Modus+Acupuncture+Andrea+Allerton+Manabu+Kuzu-18a%281%29.JPG https://www.modusacupuncture.com/healing-services daily 0.75 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/00929b1f-16d1-4a0a-b29b-d0c9817ec707/acu2.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1626756567117-DQI3O7JXXI4BWFAQ33GF/pregnancy_pregnant_symptoms_labor_pain_contractions_painful_headache_migraine_morning_sickness_baby SERVICES - MATERNAL CARE The fertility road can be difficult and it can become rather mechanical. The intimacy and spiritual connection is almost lost and it can be very lonely. This is where I meet you to bridge the gap and give you the space and attention needed to be supported. This support continues throughout your pregnancy as symptoms arise, and at 36 weeks I start prepping you to welcome your baby into the world with ease. I invite you to include your partner in our sessions. One of the things that I find so rewarding is teaching pain-management techniques so your partner knows how to best support you. I demonstrate how to cope through contractions and labor pain to empower you and you partner through this journey together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1767801854838-FBL2Z9HDIMDR87BAHSYQ/unsplash-image-eCNxj2YdOIY.jpg SERVICES - ATHLETES Since 2005, I’ve been part of several sports-care medical teams across Orange County that specialize in professional surfer rehabilitation as well as football, tennis and more. I work with elite athletes in my clinic to enhance recovery time from injuries and surgery using acupuncture, electrical stimulation, massage and cupping. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/2eee3558-cf2a-4ed7-9454-fcd2e19f6436/modus_acupuncture_general_wellness.png SERVICES - GENERAL WELLNESS One of the things my clients have told me over the past 20 years is “getting old sucks”. Sometimes when we get caught up in work-life, parenting, or the daily to-do’s, we neglect our own well-being. Together, I can help you connect the dots and restore balance through Traditional Chinese Medicine, meditation, nutrition and lifestyle changes. My goal is to help you feel like yourself again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1626741338658-RNLLEGJC5TXEFY8RA54H/acu_magnet_hand_therapy_electric_electrical_current_magnets_calm_toxins_acupuncture_needles SERVICES ACUPUNCTURE & ACU-MAGNET THERAPY This 3,000-year-old healing technique is a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM). Tiny, sterile needles calm the nervous system, increase circulation, strengthen the immune system, and restore homeostasis so that the body returns to optimal health and functions the way it was intended to. I also use magnetized, gold-plated neodymium discs to transmit energy in specific directional means through corresponding points on the hands that correlate with specific acupuncture points on the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1627083359560-7NNQO9OVRQXXL9S6H7WP/cupping_remove_toxins_stagnation_blood_energy_costa_mesa_newport_beach SERVICES CUPPING Remove toxins and stagnation, stimulate the flow of blood and energy, and break up obstructions through this ancient practice using glass cups and fire. Cupping is often used in conjunction with acupuncture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1626752755595-64IAML1MQGQB5PWA9N07/healing_services_eastern_medicine_orange_county_moxa_moxi_moxibustion SERVICES MOXIBUSTION “Moxa,” consists in the burning of dried Chinese mugwort on acupoints. Moxa can also be a cigar-shaped tube, lit, and held over an acupuncture point, or rolled into a ball and stuck onto the back end of an inserted needle for warming effect and to increase circulation to quicken the healing process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1626739049610-T4RIEOE67Y40SUTFMJ9L/dermabrasion_newport_beach_orange_california_muscle_tension_energy_guasha SERVICES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1626738422469-E07VBLV2IIISIQY1RY9G/massage_masseuse_therapist_recovery_stress_tension_pain_tui_na_therapeutic SERVICES THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE A massage technique with movement (pushing and grasping) to affected areas of the body to help heal injuries by treating inflammation, tension, muscle pain, or other ailments. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d24fb7d7742f336afa5e98/1626737959667-S2XYXEIRMIIWF79J8YX9/inflammation_herbalist_herbal_herbs_medicine_tea_immunity_infertility_meopausal_menstruation_insomnia SERVICES HERBAL MEDICINE Chinese herbs have a gentle way of getting to the root of a problem and supplementing the body while also healing it.
