Licensed Acupuncturist

We are pleased and proud to announce the addition of Kenneth Drake, Acupuncturist, to our Medical staff. Ken grew up in Idaho but was first introduced to acupuncture and Chinese culture when he lived with a Chinese family in college.

He then earned his Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine degree from Five Branches University in Santa Cruz in 2011 and has since studied in China and lived in Taiwan.

He ran a busy private practice in San Luis Obispo, CA but always wanted to live in Northern California. He was attracted to Open Door by our community focus and accessibility to those who don’t normally have access to acupuncture.

Some of his specialties are pain management, addiction, stress reduction, and hormonal health.
Kenneth was drawn here by the stunning nature and kind people.

Hiking, fishing, traveling, and playing chess with his daughter are some of his favorite things to do when not working.

Wave Clinic
Ken's acupuncture 'Wave Clinic' is a community style clinic the way it's done in China.  It's semiprivate; you get your own space sperated by screens, but you get the added benefits of healing your biorhythms, or "waves" in a shared space.

Once you are settled onto a warm bed Ken will come to talk with you about your troubled areas and treatment options,, once the needles are placed, you can relax and rest.

We request that you wear comfortable clothing that can easily be rolled up or down, while in 'Wave Clinic' we ask you to use quite voices and limit caffeine the day of appointment.

their chronic pain though a holistic approach with emphasis on physical and
mental health support.  Each group reviews various coping techniques,
self-care skills and educational topics to help patients make meaningful
changes to improve day to day pain and quality of life.  

Collaborative and Trust-Building with Healthcare


We believe that healthcare serves as a connection to public and nonprofit services; integrating food resource referrals builds trust and fosters feedback among all stakeholders.

Trauma-Informed and Empowering Approaches


We believe that using trauma-informed methods in nutrition and garden programming engages and empowers patients and supports stress de-escalation to achieve desired wellness goals.clinical care reduces stigma and enhances the effectiveness of food resources and benefit programs.

Integration of Food Resources


We believe that linking food provision with clinical care reduces stigma and enhances the effectiveness of food resources and benefit programs.

Social Determinates of Health


We believe that addressing upstream social determinants of health is essential to improving health outcomes and reducing health inequities.

We acknowledge that low-income and BIPOC communities disproportionately face food insecurity and chronic disease due to structural inequities and systemic racism.

Food as a Human Right


We believe that healthy, appropriately produced, and culturally affirming food is a human right and should be accessed with dignity and personal agency.

Willow Creek


The Willow Creek Community Health and Wellness Garden was developed during the seasonal transition from winter 2012 to the spring of 2013, when Open Door staff were able to turn a vacant lot next to the health center into a vibrant garden space filled with fruit trees and raised beds for produce and flowers.
