Desiree Merulli, L.Ac., EAMP, has a passion for helping her patients improve their health and lifestyle through East Asian Medicine.

Desiree is nationally board certified by the NCCAOM, licensed by the state of Washington for both Acupuncture/East Asian Medicine and Massage therapy, and holds additional certification in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture and Reiki.  She has practiced acupuncture since 2001 and massage therapy since 1998.

She uses a very gentle technique to allow your body to adjust to the needles before balancing your qi.  During your session, non-needle therapeutics including fire cupping, tuning forks and massage therapy are incorporated to enhance the treatment leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.  As a holistic health provider, Desiree supports the collaboration of Eastern and Western medicine and works closely with other practitioners to provide her patients with optimum wellness.
