In her seven years of practice, she has developed special interests and expertise in Orthopedics, Functional Medicine, Cold Laser Therapy and Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture protocols. Symmetry Structural Alignment Therapy has recently been incorporated into her practice with impressive results in her patients. Diane’s background in nutrition, in combination with her interests, provides her patients with a Whole Body-Eastern/Western approach to healing and good health.
Diane’s passion for nutrition and health began when she was in her early teens. Her interest was largely influenced by an older brother who kept current on the latest research in nutrition and exercise. “I was fascinated by my brother’s knowledge and aspired to pursue a career as a nutritionist.” She received her degree from San Diego State University in Nutrition and Food Science. After graduation she worked in a hospital as a clinical nutritionist for five years. During this time Diane became quite ill. As her illness progressed, she found that western doctors could not identify the real cause of her mysterious illness. Tests showed inconclusive results and there was no diagnosis to fit her condition. At the recommendation of a friend, she decided to see an acupuncturist.
During the course of several weeks, this natural approach restored my health to balance and for the first time in years I felt relief from my illness. Chinese medicine did wonders for me not only in terms of eliminating my symptoms, but also in changing my outlook on health and medicine forever.” Within one year, Diane was fully enrolled in acupuncture school at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego.
Diane’s four year education studying acupuncture included a two plus year internship with leading Sports Injury Specialist and Acupuncturist Matt Callison (2001-2004). In this rehabilitation clinic professional athletes, as well as students and the general public, came for treatment. At Vital Changes Acupuncture and Nutrition, Diane’s sports medicine treatment services combine acupuncture, Symmetry Structural Alignment, cold laser therapy, myofacial release and PNF stretching.
In addition to sports medicine, Diane’s has specialized training in Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture protocols, as well as acupuncture treatments for general health conditions and prevention of disease.
Diane has expanded her knowledge in nutrition by attending state-of-the-art seminars on Functional Medicine and Hormone Health. Affordable blood and saliva testing is available in her office. These tests identify and evaluate thyroid health, male and female hormone disorders, immune system conditions, blood sugar imbalances as well as liver, G.I. tract, and biliary function.
