Rebecca Rowbatham, M.Ac.O.M. L.Ac. 00993, LMT 13550, RYT200

Rebecca recognizes that stress and the disconnection that accompanies it are a part of all disease. She uses time-tested, evidence-based, natural therapies to induce states of deep relaxation and activate the body’s innate restorative capacities. Patients leave her sessions thoroughly relaxed, refreshed, and empowered with tools to improve their health.

Rebecca has 25 years of experience in healthcare and is licensed in both acupuncture and massage therapy. She is also a registered yoga and meditation teacher, a board certified clinical herbalist, and a diplomat of the NCCAOM. She maintains a general practice with a focus on wellness and disease prevention but has a special interest in addressing chronic stress and its related complications like anxiety, insomnia, digestive disorders, pain, and burn out.

Rebecca graduated with a Masters degree in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from the Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2004. She went on to study Thai medicine and meridian massage in Chang Mai, Thailand, Esoteric Acupuncture Advanced Energy Healing System with founder and creator Dr. Mikio Sankey, and Shen Zhen Healing Qi Gong with Master Junfeng Li.

Prior to discovering Chinese medicine, Rebecca received a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M, studied massage therapy, and opened her own healing arts center where she came to understand the role of stress in illness which became the foundation of her treatment style.

Rebecca currently practices in Austin, Tx. where she planted her roots in 1993. She loves all that Austin has to offer in the way of classes, meet ups, and outdoor fun. She spends her free time drumming, hiking, cooking, and playing outdoors.
