Rooted care that meets you where you are.
Acupuncture and integrative medicine in Encinitas, CA
Personalized support for complex symptoms and whole-body health.
Welcome to VIVO.
We care for the person who has been managing symptoms for too long, searching for answers, or feeling like something is off even when everything looks “normal.”
At VIVO, we slow down and look at the whole picture: chronic symptoms, autoimmunity, hormones, digestion, sleep, skin, pain, stress, lab results, lifestyle, and the quiet patterns your body has been trying to communicate.
Our care blends acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and a functional perspective to better understand what your body is asking for, so we can support healing in a way that feels thoughtful, individualized, and connected.
Our Services
-
A personalized approach to care that begins with a comprehensive review of your health history, current concerns, and the patterns connecting them. Your treatment plan may incorporate nutrition, lifestyle support, herbal medicine, thoughtfully selected supplements, and targeted lab testing when appropriate. Each visit includes acupuncture and, when indicated, additional therapies such as cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, or gentle electrical stimulation.
-
A whole-body approach to skin health and facial rejuvenation. Each session includes body acupuncture alongside specialized facial needling designed to support circulation, collagen production, facial tone, and the appearance of fine lines. Treatments also include red light therapy and a relaxing gua sha facial massage. Personalized recommendations may incorporate nutrition, lifestyle support, supplements, herbal medicine, and topical skincare products
-
A results-focused skin treatment with a whole-body perspective. Microneedling is designed to support collagen production and improve the appearance of uneven texture, fine lines, firmness, scarring, and hyperpigmentation. Each session also includes body acupuncture, because skin health is closely connected to what is happening beneath the surface. Personalized recommendations may include nutrition, lifestyle support, supplements, herbal medicine, and topical skincare products.
Our 3 Step Care Plan
1 Investigate
Find what's been missed.
We start by listening closely. Your symptoms, health history, labs, stress, digestion, sleep, cycle, and daily rhythms all matter. The goal is not to chase isolated symptoms, but to understand the pattern underneath them.
2 Regulate
Calm the chaos.
Through acupuncture, Chinese medicine, functional insight, and supportive lifestyle guidance, we work to regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation, support digestion and hormones, and help your body move out of survival mode.
3 Rebuild
Make it last.
As symptoms shift, we build a plan that supports long-term resilience. Care is adjusted as your body changes, so progress can hold beyond the treatment room.
