I received  my Bachelor of Science degree in pharmacy from Northeast Louisiana University and practiced pharmacy for ten years in Louisiana. Then I moved to San Diego, CA, to attend massage school at the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) where I received an Associate of Arts degree in Combined Massage Methods. I have been in private practice for over 22 years and have taught massage therapy for 15 years. My massage work specializations are deep tissue sculpting, stress reduction, muscle dysfunction and pain, pregnancy massage (certified), and somato-emotional integration. My background in pharmacy gives me an in-depth insight into many of the medical aspects of health and has been especially useful when I worked at Sharp Memorial Hospital’s Cushman Center for Integrative and Complementary Medicine for over 9 years. My work with clients offers knowledge, compassion, and commitment while maintaining curiosity and fascination about how complex and amazing the human body really is.

Justin Ehrlich, L.Ac.

Integrative Chinese Medicine
(619) 535-1876
www.justinehrlich.com

I’ve been drawn to the many different practices that originated in ancient China for most of my life. I’ve been a licensed acupuncturist since 2002 and have been a student of the Jade Purity branch of Daoism since 2001.

Over the course of many years of questioning the nature of reality and using these practices to work through my own struggles, heal old wounds, and find a deeper connection to the Divine I’ve seen how powerful this path can be.

I’ve also been blessed to hold space for the journey of my clients and students many times over and am constantly inspired by the strength of the human spirit. I’ve studied many different branches of medicine, religion, mindfulness based practices, meditation, and philosophy.

My studies have always been focused on the practical application of these subjects in the lives of my clients and myself.
