Dr. Gabrielle Stanford, a Santa Cruz native, has been passionate about health and wellness since childhood, growing up in a home that valued both health-conscious living and a deep connection to nature. Gabrielle holds dual Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbal Medicine from Five Branches University and is a California Board Certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist. Her journey into the healing arts began in her early twenties when she faced chronic illness and found profound healing through acupuncture and functional medicine. This personal experience gave her a deep understanding and empathy for those struggling with chronic conditions and poor health, motivating her to help others and share the transformative power of this medicine with those in need. Gabrielle is passionate about uncovering the root causes of health issues and firmly believes in the body’s innate ability to heal—sometimes, it simply requires guidance and support. Her focus includes treating chronic illnesses such as autoimmune disorders, as well as anxiety, depression, pain, and skin issues. Gabrielle has also earned an advanced certification in Cosmetic and Facial Acupuncture, driven by her commitment to helping others feel beautiful and confident without relying on toxins or chemicals. She specializes in facial rejuvenation treatments that blend acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, and microcurrent techniques to naturally enhance the skin’s appearance while addressing the underlying causes of skin concerns. Her goal is to help patients achieve a radiant, healthy glow from the inside out. Always eager to expand her knowledge and enhance her ability to help others, Gabrielle is currently pursuing a certification in functional medicine. This will further enable her to identify and address the root causes of her patients’ health challenges. Outside of her professional life, Gabrielle enjoys spending time with her family, including her daughter, Ella Eve, born in July 2024. Whether it’s beach walks, mini road trips, hiking, or playdates with friends and their babies, Gabrielle cherishes her moments as a first-time mom and the adventures she shares with her husband, family, and friends in this beautiful world.
