About Aimee
Aimee Miller completed the four year Master's program at Five Branches University, fulfilling over 3, 500 hours of clinical and classroom training in Chinese Medicine. She holds a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, with specialized certification in Five Element Acupuncture, a constitutional approach that addresses deep levels of emotional and spiritual healing, as well as physical. She is a California Board Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist with a private practice in Santa Cruz, CA.
Prior to embarking upon the Master’s program at Five Branches University, Aimee studied Western herbal medicine at the American School of Herbalism. She regularly attends the Northern California Women’s Herbal Symposium, where she continues to study the healing properties of herbs, as well as ways to handcraft herbal medicines. Aimee has attended educational trainings on nutrition with the Weston A. Price Foundation, and she utilizes this and other nutritional training to prescribe holistic and therapeutic diets and recipes for her patients. Aimee continues to deepen her understanding of the inner tradition of Chinese Medicine by regularly attending seminars with renowned teachers in the field. Aimee is also a Certified Massage Practitioner, having completed the certification program at Cypress Health Institute, and she often combines therapeutic massage with acupuncture in her treatments.
Aimee pursued her undergraduate education at Sonoma State University, where she received her B.A. in Creative Writing, and contributed her poetry to the university’s literary journal. Aimee uses poetry and personal narrative writing as a way to deepen her understanding of nature, the healing process, and the spiritual journey. By facilitating writing groups, she teaches people how to use writing as a tool for personal growth and healing. In addition to writing, Aimee spends much of her free time in quiet contemplation and meditation on the land in which she lives and works. She loves hiking with her husband and son, as well as gardening, cooking, and creating herbal medicines.

Aimee Miller has really helped me regain balance in my health. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and helps me to understand my body's changing needs through the cycles of the seasons. She is an intuitive and nurturing healer and a skilled herbalist and I would highly recommend her as a practitioner to anyone who is interested in learning how to help their body heal itself.

Being new to acupuncture I had no idea what to expect. Aimee made me immediately comfortable and explained everything she was doing in perfect detail. Aimee is a true professional, treating the whole person instead of just the symptoms. Now after 6 weeks of working with her, I feel fantastic and have the tools to continue on my path to balance and wellness.

My experience working with Aimee has been nothing short of amazing. She offers such a nurturing practice, fine-tuning each visit to meet my physical and emotional needs. As I've long struggled with anxiety and hormonal imbalances, I am grateful to Aimee for helping me to understand and treat my symptoms. Aimee's intuitive abilities as a healer are truly impressive, setting her apart from any practitioner that I have worked with. I look forward to each session; being able to enjoy the beauty and serenity of her clinic's physical environment, but also knowing that I will leave feeling balanced and nourished. I feel fortunate to have Aimee's guidance along my healing journey.
