Dr. Gianna Rielle, DACM, L.Ac

​​Dr. Gianna specializes in mental health and classical 5-Element acupuncture, a deeply transformative branch of acupuncture often referred to as the shamanic approach. This unique modality focuses on the psyche, emotional body, and spirit, making it especially effective for alleviating chronic diseases, resolving emotional imbalances, and processing trauma. She is passionate about helping her clients achieve alignment and balance by addressing the root causes of their concerns rather than treating only symptoms.

​

Her treatment plans are carefully customized and personalized to meet the needs of each client in the present moment, ensuring that no two sessions are ever the same. Combining the modalities of  acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and energy healing, Dr. Gianna creates a safe and nurturing space for healing and transformation.

in their own words

"​

"Dr. Gianna is a master at what she does. I initially came to see her for a reiki session and she was so warm and genuine. The experience felt like the beginning of a healing journey I knew I had to begin to take, and I immediately knew I wanted to keep working with her. I booked a consultation for acupuncture the following week and needless to say I was sobbing at her office. Once again she held space for me in a non judgmental way and I am forever grateful for it. Every week has some new challenges but literally every time I see her I feel energetically and emotionally refreshed. I could not recommend her more highly!"

how it all began

Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Gianna holds a Bachelor's degree from Penn State University in Clinical Psychology. Her journey into the holistic medicine field began during her time as a receptionist at an acupuncture clinic. In the clinic, she witnessed firsthand the transformative effects of acupuncture. She saw clients arrive with discomfort, but leave with noticeable improvements, which sparked her curiosity. This experience led her to explore the profound healing potential of acupuncture.

Upon discovering that Chinese medicine offers healing not just for the body, but also for the heart, mind, and spirit, she felt an undeniable calling to pursue this path. She decided to move from the East Coast to the West Coast to earn her doctoral degree, and after some time practicing in the field, founded Auna Acupuncture + Wellness.
