!! NEW PATIENTS !!  If at all possible, please reach out to me via email first
Email to:                 ric@ricvalentineacupuncture.com
Email Subject:     New Patient Inquiry - {your name}
Email Body: 
  1. Your full name.  If you are NOT inquiring for yourself please explain who you are inquiring  for and your relationship to them.  If it is at all possible I prefer to dialogue with the patient directly. 
  2. Your phone number and good times to call
  3. A very brief description of what is ailing you
  4. Your interest in Acupuncture , Clinical Nutrition or Both
  5. Your prior experience, if any,  with Acupuncture, Clinical Nutrition and/or Muscle Testing 
NOTE:  Acupuncture typically requires a minimum of 3 to 5 visits to address moderate disfunctions though you should notice beneficial changes during and after the first treatment.  Clinical Nutrition typically works best with a few months of visits about 3 weeks apart. In some cases it can be just one visit if there's a good remedy for your condition.

Address and Directions for TWO different office locations

Prunedale, CA 
  • Tuesday, Thursday, and most Saturdays
  • 17812 Moro Rd | Prunedale, CA |93907
I am located 20 yards to the right of the Prunedale Public Library.  There is a large marque on my building that says "ACUPUNCTURE"  so I am easy to locate.   From San Miguel Canyon Road coming from 101, make a right on Moro Road at the Valero Service Station (not shown).  Go past gas station and first right hand turns into the front and back of the shopping center.  As you climb the hill you will see a business complex on your right with a white commercial sign and listing of many tenants in the complex.   Make that right (road very faded on map below) and take immediate right and you will run into my front door.   Parking is plentiful  in front of my building.


Monterey, CA ​
  • 1011 Cass Street,  Ste 203 | Monterey CA | 93940
I rent space in a spa/healing center called "Flowing Waters" .  We are located on the 2nd floor.  Most people take the stairs to the second floor.  If you take the elevator up,  it actually opens in to our waiting room on the 2nd floor.   Parking is behind the building and free.  Take the small driveway that is up the hill from the front door to get behind the building.
