Elaine Elizabeth Sta-Iglesia is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. She is a California board-certified acupuncturist and holds two degrees from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Before focusing on human health, she spent over a decade working with animals as a pre-veterinary student, an experience that deepened my respect for the body’s innate ability to heal. Her approach to care is patient-centered and holistic, prioritizing the integration of mind, body, and spirit as one interconnected system. She blends both traditional Chinese medicine and modern therapeutic practices to support optimal health, longevity, and balance. Her goal is to provide individualized, comprehensive care that supports both ongoing health maintenance and long-term well-being. Dr. Elaine works with a wide range of conditions, including anxiety, mood regulation, stress, pain management, trigger point acupuncture, menstrual and hormonal regulation, and insomnia. When working with Dr. Elaine, you can expect a warm, welcoming presence and care that meets you exactly where you are. She is the founder and primary practitioner at Likhâ Acupuncture.
