ABOUT VIVIAN
Acupuncturist, Chiropractor, Esthetician
Vivian moved to the Bay Area in 2015 from Long Beach, CA to pursue an education in holistic medicine as a chiropractor and become a second generation acupuncturist. She was exposed to acupuncture and herbal medicine at a young age, often experiencing it firsthand or during assisting/observing her parents take care of others.
Vivian studied eastern medicine at American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ACTCM) in San Francisco. As a clinical intern, Vivian saw how much acupuncture could help improve the health and lives of people, especially when providing weekly acupuncture care for the low income community through ACTCM’s partnership with GLIDE Memorial Church in San Francisco.
She studied low impact, gentle adjusting techniques such as Activator & drop table at Life Chiropractic College West, often combining adjustments with acupuncture to help relax the body and relieve pressure off nerves and joints. Vivian also has an esthetician license and special interest in women’s health, facial/cosmetic acupuncture, and maintaining wellness to help people age naturally & gracefully.
Growing up beachside, she developed a passion for hobbies involving the ocean: including snorkeling, scuba/free diving, traveling, hiking, gardening, watching movies, and skincare.
