Your pathway to good health
Gentle, personalized holistic healthcare to help you thrive.
An integrative approach to wellness
At Espiritu Acupuncture + Wellness, our goal is to help you live life to its fullest potential. Using the ancient modalities of acupuncture and eastern medicine, we can help restore your body's natural healing abilities by reinstating balance and strengthening your body's defense mechanisms. The body seeks balance and when an imbalance occurs, disease can take over. Acupuncture and eastern medicine seeks to treat the root cause to the disease and not just the manifesting symptoms. Acknowledging the intricate balance between mind, body and environment, a fully individualized health plan will be tailored to you to support your healing process.
We believe that an integrative approach to medicine is the best available healthcare, and that many conditions can be treated successfully using a combination of both Eastern and Western therapies. We offer both Chinese herbs, as well as a wide array of Western supplements to meet each patient's needs.
We look forward to being a part of your journey in achieving optimal health, wellness and vitality.
Rediscover your own healing powers.
Acupuncture + eastern medicine is designed to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. We consider ourselves educators as well as healers, since we teach each patient about the strength that they carry within their own bodies. Start your healing journey with us today.

What People Are Saying
“From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable since the office feels really homey. The waiting room feels more like a friend’s living room than an office, with jazz lightly playing in the background. Every effort was made to ensure I felt comfortable and understood the treatment. I came in with sciatic pain and the morning after my treatment I noticed a tremendous reduction in pain and increased motility. This is not my first experience with acupuncture, but it was my best.”

“Lauren is amazing! I started going to her during my pregnancy. She helped me feel great during my pregnancy, and she helped to prepare me for my labor and birth. I truly believe it made a huge difference. She was even communicating with me while I was in labor! She was beyond supportive and is now a great support postpartum. I told my husband he had to give her a try and now he is hooked as well. We don’t know what we would do without her as a part of our wellness routine. I am so beyond grateful to have come across her during my pregnancy. I look forward to my sessions with her. Thank you Lauren! We love you!”

“When I first met Angelo I had asked the question, “might acupuncture help with allergies?” He said it would. In my first visit I was able to stop taking claritin. This delighted me so I continued with several more visits to help with digestion, hair loss and stress. The greatest part, Angelo always makes it feel like a spa visit.. I am so grateful for his help and care.”
