Meet Our Monterey Acupuncture Team

At Paris Healing Arts & Acupuncture in Monterey, you now have three skilled acupuncturists to choose from, each bringing a unique area of focus while sharing the same commitment to thoughtful, personalized care.

Whether you are seeking help with pain, injuries, fertility, pregnancy, women’s health, stress, or overall wellness, my team and I are here to help you feel better in your body and more supported in your health.

Dr. Laura Paris, DACM

I opened Paris Healing Arts & Acupuncture in Monterey after becoming licensed in 2004. My training is rooted in gentle Japanese acupuncture, influenced by my mentors Holly Guzmán and Kiiko Matsumoto.

In my acupuncture practice I work with women’s hormonal and reproductive health, as well as stress, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, and pain. I also offer functional medicine through separate appointments for patients to explore investigative labs, root-cause assessments, gut microbiome analysis, healthy hormone balance, metabolism, longevity, and autoimmune remission.

I see teenagers and adults of all ages and genders. In 2017, I relocated to Aptos and opened a second clinic in Capitola, where I am based most of the week. I am currently in the Monterey clinic on Thursdays.

Mollie Mae, LAc

Mollie specializes in fertility, pregnancy, and family-building, offering inclusive care for birthing people of all genders. She supports patients through preconception, pregnancy, labor preparation, and postpartum recovery with clear, individualized care.

She also treats babies, children, and teens, using a calm, approachable style that helps younger patients feel at ease and makes her a wonderful resource for families.

Mollie is completing a doctorate (DAOM) in Reproductive and Integrative Care at Yo San University and is a great choice for patients seeking support with fertility, pregnancy, or pediatric care.

Sydney Davis, DAcHM

In her Doctorate of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine training, Sydney earned a specialized sports medicine certification with focused training in trauma, orthopedics, and trigger point therapy. Her treatment incorporates trigger point release (“dry needling”), cupping, gua sha, electro-acupuncture, corrective exercise, and herbal medicine.

Sydney commonly treats neck and back pain, shoulder and hip injuries, sports-related strains and sprains, sciatica, headaches, and general musculoskeletal pain, while also supporting patients with stress, digestion, women’s health, and overall wellness.

Her goal is to help patients understand their bodies and build resilience so they can stay active and prevent re-injury. She creates a calm, supportive space where patients feel comfortable, heard, and empowered throughout their healing process.

Working with Laura remotely during perimenopause was the best thing ever.
I can’t say enough about Dr. Laura Paris.  Working with her was the best thing I could have ever done.  I am 48 years old, and this year, perimenopause and stomach problems hit me hard.  I started having major anxiety, dizzy spells, stomach problems, and many other symptoms.  Laura was able to do several tests such as Dutch testing, GI map, and we also did a food sensitivity test.  Through natural herbs that she mixed up for me and several supplements, I am starting to feel like myself again.  She takes the time to listen and get to know you.  She shows compassion and really cares for her patients no matter how far away they are.  This was money well spent, and I would definitely recommend her.
