A note from our founding provider

Hi, I'm Dr. Jenna

Over a decade ago, I fell in love with the art of East Asian Medicine and its incredible ability to balance the whole being- the emotional, physical and spiritual body.  Time and time again I've turned to Chinese, energetic and functional medical modalities for my own care, the care of my loved ones & patients. Whether it be prescribing herbs for a cold or flu , undergoing a complete gut reset with an in depth detox protocol or using using the magic of acupuncture to relieve decades-long chronic pain,  the power of natural medicine never ceases to amaze me!  

When I care for patients,  my focus is always to educate, so they too may take with them the knowledge of natural medicine as a life-long health strategy. I approach care with the aim to empower my patients, serving as a guide and always encouraging a mindset of self-healing first. I'm so glad you are here and I truly look forward to being of service to you.

A Difference in Care

Have you tried acupuncture before and felt like something was missing?    You may have experienced a system focused on symptom relief rather than root healing.

Many modern practitioners use a streamlined form of acupuncture called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which works with twelve primary meridians and often provides support on the surface level. While this can be beneficial, it may not always reach the deeper layers where longstanding patterns—physical, emotional, or ancestral—are held.

When we work with the full wisdom of the classical system of Chinese Medicine, a different kind of healing becomes possible.

Dr. Vitale’s approach utilizes Classical Acupuncture

Classical Acupuncture returns to the original wisdom of Chinese medicine—drawn from texts written over 2,000 years ago. Unlike modern acupuncture, which works only with twelve primary channels, Classical Acupuncture engages the full system of 68 channels, a full-spectrum system which treats the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

When accessed through specific needling techniques and intention, these vessels help the body reorganize itself at a deep, foundational level—allowing healing to unfold from the inside out.

He earned his Master’s degree from Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine and completed advanced training in classical acupuncture techniques under Dr. Edward Neal at the Huang Di Nei Jing Institute. Brian specializes in Master Tung acupuncture, having trained with Christine Chang, one of Dr. Wei Chieh Young’s leading students.

Originally a master Argentine tango instructor, Brian was drawn to acupuncture through his passion for helping dancers improve movement and recover from musculoskeletal injuries. This foundation gave him a keen eye for identifying biomechanical imbalances before they develop into more significant problems.

Today, Brian’s practice has evolved into a comprehensive, patient-centered approach that addresses both pain and the underlying causes of illness. He has a special interest in treating complex chronic conditions, including autoimmune, gastrointestinal, and skin disorders, as well as the long-term effects of environmental toxins on organ function and myofascial health. By integrating classical acupuncture principles with a deep understanding of movement and whole-body physiology, Brian strives to help patients achieve lasting health and resilience.
