our story

Meet your Practitioner

Dr. James Mohebali, L.Ac., DACM, Dipl.Ac. is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist who has been studying and practicing Chinese medicine since 2014. Having experienced and witnessed life-changing healing first hand, he is passionate about helping patients access the incredible healing power of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. He has trained extensively with the leaders and innovators in the field, including over 500 hours of study with 88th generation Daoist priest, Jeffrey Yuen, from the Jade Purity Tradition.

 

Dr. James is trained in multiple styles of Japanese acupuncture, which is known for its gentle approach to treatment. In addition to his extensive studies in classical Japanese and Chinese medicine, he has over 200 hours of study with the Upledger Institute in Craniosacral therapy and gentle manual therapy techniques. His doctoral coursework focused on integrative medicine, functional medicine, and an evidence-based approach to care.

 

For Dr. James, every patient is treated as an individual, and you are always viewed as a whole person. He hopes that each of his patients develop a greater sense of overall well-being, and find greater harmony in their relationship with their deeper self and their environment.

Our Mission

Utah Valley Acupuncture, established on June 1, 2022, aims to provide deep healing to the Utah Valley. We specialize in treating chronic and complex conditions where Western medicine often falls short, including chronic infertility, hormonal and OBGYN issues (like endometriosis and PCOS), digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, mental health disorders, neurological conditions, metabolic disorders, vestibular disorders, migraines, and more.

Our approach is rooted in Chinese medicine, emphasizing the emotional and spiritual aspects of disease. We honor traditional Chinese medicine while integrating modern techniques where appropriate. We excel at connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated symptoms to address the core of your body's disharmony on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.

You don't need an official Western medical diagnosis to benefit from our treatments, though many of our patients have multiple diagnoses. Our focus is on identifying and treating the deeper root causes of these conditions. Our goal is to move beyond labels and find the most effective treatments for your unique situation.
