Adriana Rivadeneira, L.Ac

When Adriana began her education at NUNM, in 2005, she did not know what beauty and elegance awaited her in the form of Classical Chinese medicine. The relationship began with the foundational philosophy of the Medicine, which includes the correspondence of the movement of nature with the patterns that move through, and are reflected in, humans. It truly is a beautiful understanding of how to maintain health that has been successfully used for over 2 millenia.

Adriana Rivadeneira MAc., LAc, a practitioner of Acupuncture, Herbalism and Cupping (with soon to come, Shiatsu Massage). Adriana uses these modalities to bring harmony and balance to whomever she is treating.

For the last few years,  Adriana has delved into Worsley Classical 5-Element Acupuncture,  as a resident and assistant to David Berkshire DSOM, LAc, as well as completing the Worsley Intensive Training. In Nov 2023, Adriana completed her residency with David Berkshire DSOM, LAc.

One of the beauties of the Classics is that a variety of complaints can be addressed, as its focus is the person, not the illness. This allows for Adriana to enjoy working with a variety of people with a variety of concerns. Complex Cases to General Wellness; MVA to chronic pain, Body systems to Mental/Emotional, while offering trauma informed care. Her years of education, life experiences and practice, combined with her curious, caring and intuitive nature, allows her to support and nurture as you transform into your healthier self.

The treatments that you will receive from Adriana are custom tailored to your needs based on diagnostic information acquired during the visit. We are all beautifully unique and we should be treated as such, with care and respect.

Intrinsic to Adriana’s character is her high regard for nature and life, no matter what form.  With the honor and respect that Adriana  holds for life and this medicine, she will hold the same honor and respect for you and your treatments.

We tend to gravitate towards what feels good. Forgetting that anything in excess can lead to disharmony within one’s body, mind, and/or spirit.  Adriana invites you  to find peace within your circumstances, all the while moving towards your health and to find an alliance with your Self and to simply feel your best!
