Michelle Dunn
Acupuncturist, Herbalist & Massage Therapist at Calm San Diego
If my experience as an acupuncturist and massage therapist has taught me anything, it’s that your body is powerful. It is resilient, adaptive, and has an innate ability to heal itself.

Your body can heal. It just needs the right tools and environment to do so. That’s where I come in!

Jenna Sanborn
Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Cosmetic Specialist at Calm San Diego
My curiosity for healing peaked when I suffered chronic health crises and found myself struggling to find effective compassionate care within the modern medical establishment. It wasn’t until I found “alternative” healthcare providers that I finally found long lasting relief. These practitioners not only helped my specific physical conditions but also cultivated a whole new perspective on what whole health really means.
Since this time it has become my mission to cultivate wellness within myself and to share what I have learned with others. My goal in every treatment session is to provide you with the self empowerment tools and knowledge to become an active participant in your recovery. I aim to help you be the best version of yourself on the inside and outside.
I can help you with…
- Digestive wellness
- Chronic pain & injuries
- Cosmetic enhancement via Facial Acupuncture & Microneedling
- Conditions affecting the head & face (ex: Sinusitis, TMJ, Bell’s Palsy, Headaches, etc.)
Credentials
- Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine, Pacific College of Health and Science
- Clinical Grand Rounds at Beijing International Acupuncture Center, one of Beijing’s busiest TCM hospitals

Dr. Ciara Wiegand
Acupuncturist & Specialist in Integrative Medicine at Calm San Diego
In the realm of health and wellness, I have found my calling as an acupuncturist and integrative medicine specialist.
My journey has shown me that your body is not just a vessel but a dynamic powerhouse capable of healing and adapting to changes.
However, when pain or internal disorders such as digestive or respiratory issues become part of your life, it’s easy to feel distanced from this inherent healing power.
That’s where I step in. Your body has the capacity to heal; it simply needs the right tools and environment. My approach is all about integrating Eastern and Western medical practices to offer holistic care beyond treating symptoms – targeting the root cause.
I’m here to help you reclaim your health and live each day feeling your absolute best through acupuncture, lifestyle modifications, nutritional guidance, and various mind-body practices.
I can help you with…
- Pain Management
- Orthopedic Conditions
- Treatment of Internal Disorders
- Integrative Medicine
Credentials
- Licensed by the California Acupuncture Board
- Certification from the National Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
- Specialized Training in Orthopedics, Pain Management, and Treatment of Internal Disorders
- Passionate Advocate for the Integration of Eastern and Western Medical Approaches
