Meet the acupuncturist...
Laura
Grillo L.Ac., MAcOM
Laura is a licensed acupuncturist offering general acupuncture for wellness, and specializing in Constitutional Facial Rejuvenation. She earned her Master’s degree from the Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, which included training in Acupuncture and Chinese herbs, and certification in Tui Na, a form of Asian Medical Bodywork. She has also pursued advanced training and certification in The Wakefield Technique: Gold Standard Constitutional Facial Rejuvenation.
Laura’s path to Chinese medicine began when she was diagnosed with primary progressive MS at age 18, when the left side of her body became completely paralyzed. Faced with a difficult prognosis, she began working with the Chinese medicine physician her mother had worked with for decades. For the next seventeen years, Chinese medicine remained the exclusive foundation of Laura’s care under her physician’s guidance, learning to incorporate modern supplements within the framework of Traditional East Asian Medicine Five Element
Theory, and eventually transitioning into an apprenticeship. She continued working with her mentor until her passing in 2024. That relationship profoundly shaped both Laura’s recovery and her future work, teaching her to approach healing with patience, pragmatism, and a deep respect for the body.
Today, Laura offers thoughtful, individualized care designed to address discomfort while supporting long-term health and resilience. Her treatments are intentionally gentle and deeply restorative, drawing from the many modalities in which she has been trained, to support pain relief, stress reduction, overall wellness, and healthy aging.
Her particular passion is Constitutional Facial Rejuvenation, an approach that reflects the whole-person philosophy of Traditional East Asian Medicine. Rather than treating the face in isolation, Laura was taught to consider the underlying patterns that influence vitality, skin health, and that ‘natural glow.’ By combining specialized facial acupuncture with whole-body treatment, she offers an approach to rejuvenation that is individualized, restorative, and grounded in well-being.
