Rebecca is amazing at what she does. This was my first time doing acupuncture and she makes you feel at ease. I saw many benefits after getting acupuncture. I felt less stressed and also felt as my body was in balance. Which I haven’t felt in long time. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Rebecca!!!

Rebecca is amazing! She is very thorough and listens to what is needed in each session. She treats the body holistically and is intuitive, empathetic and I couldn’t speak more highly of her treatment. Definitely recommend. And to anyone who is unsure about trying acupuncture, it is certainly worth it.

After eight months of constant pain and numbness, Rebecca was able to give me relief from most of my symptoms today. She is a real "healer" in the truest sense. Highly recommend. Very patient and listening carefully to the patient. Very rare in medicine.

Love Rebeca and Vida Acupuncture & Wellness and the work that she does! Went to her for stress reduction to assist in getting pregnant. Just after 2 months of treatment with Rebeca we have a positive pregnancy after previously trying for almost a year on our own with no results. We are excited and grateful.

Long-Term COVID patients read this:
Rebeca’s Acupuncture and techniques has been an absolute game-changer for me, especially when it came to treating my long-term COVID symptoms of brain fog, fatigue, emptiness, inflammation and depression. I had tried numerous treatments and meds, but nothing seemed to help until I decided to give acupuncture a try. And let me tell you, I wish I'd tried it sooner.
With just 2 sessions, I started feeling the effectiveness. After 6 sessions, I felt a renewed sense of energy and focus, and the brain fog that had been plaguing me for months started to lift slowly. My body began to feel more balanced, and my mood began to improve as well. I couldn't believe how much acupuncture had help me in my road to recovery.
But acupuncture wasn't the only tool in my arsenal. Rebeca's detox plan was another critical part of my journey towards recovery. This treatment helped me remove some of the toxic phlegm inside my body, which according to my studies had been contributing to my fatigue and other symptoms. I felt lighter, fresher, less inflammation and much more energized after completing her plan. It truly made all the difference.
If you're struggling with long-term COVID symptoms or other health issues, I wholeheartedly recommend giving acupuncture and Rebeca's detox plan a TRY!
I’m terrified of needles but I am willing to doing whatever it takes to become normal again. Rebeca does a great job to ensure you are comfortable. The benefits are numerous, and the relief and healing that they can bring are truly remarkable. Your body heals itself but sometimes it needs some motivation. Acupuncture does just that.
I hope that my experience can help others to find the same relief that I found.
- P.S Thank you Rebeca and Pablo.

I am in awe of Rebeca as a practitioner and as a human! When I came to see her a few months ago, I was completely new to Traditional Chinese Medicine, but in such a short time, I began to reap the benefits. So many of my physical symptoms and struggles went away, but I have also been amazed at how much better I feel mentally and emotionally. Her work is holistic in the truest sense. She is thoughtful, curious, positive, and genuine. She takes the time to listen and try to understand my life. I always leave her office feeling refreshed, relaxed, and optimistic about the future.
Until I came to Vida Acupuncture, most of my experiences with the medical field had left so much to be desired. I can't count the number of times I've left a doctor's office after being told my symptoms don't really point to anything, or that I felt a diagnosis was rushed based on a practitioner's tight schedule. I usually come away from these interactions feeling dumb, or burdensome, or silly for having sought care in the first place. And I get it - doctors don't have a ton of time to sit and listen to the context of their patients' lives, or to think more broadly about the way the body systems work in concert.
But you know who does? Rebeca. I have never felt more heard, I have never had someone spend so much time with me, and I never have had someone think so insightfully about all the pieces of my life, and how they function together. She is a ray of sunshine in a lab coat! Coming to Vida Acupuncture been a life-changing experience, one that I highly recommend to anyone seeking to live life more fully.

What is Acupuncture and does it hurt?
The first question a person asks me about acupuncture is: Does it hurt?
If you were to ask any of my patients, they would say “no”. My patients are surprised at how relaxed and calm they feel with an acupuncture treatment.
What does craving sweets have do to with my spleen?
One explanation is that we turn to sweets, a comfort food, in difficult times because they satisfy a psychological need.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) also offers an explanation as each organ system has a color, an odor, and a flavor. The spleen system’s flavor is sweet. In TCM, the spleen, pancreas, and stomach comprise an essential aspect of the digestive system that receives food and transforms it into nutrients that our body needs.
Refresh, Renew, and Reset: Springtime is Detox Time!
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, each organ system is associated with a season. Springtime is the best time to treat the liver. Spring represents a time of newness, rebirth, and re-visioning and is a great time to refresh and rejuvenate your body. Spring is associated with the wood element which is about growth and expansion and with the liver organ which flourishes during this time. The color associated with the liver or wood element is green.
Find out what Chinese cupping therapy can do for you
Another one of my favorite treatments that I use at Vida Acupuncture is cupping therapy. Cupping consists of using plastic cups to suction the skin and improve blood circulation to the area. Common areas in which I do cupping are on the neck, shoulder, upper back, mid-back, lower back, chest, and abdomen.
