Ashley T. Lanahan, LAC in Encinitas's Leucadia district holds California Acupuncture Board license #11360 and a Western Herbalist certification from the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies. Needle-based protocols at the La Veta Avenue clinic incorporate Channel-theory diagnosis alongside herbal formulations, a dual-modality approach that complements the myofascial release work at Balanced Body Therapeutic Massage Encinitas. Bastyr University's naturopathic medical program provided the clinical foundation, with additional training in functional medicine and midwifery support. The practice, co-founded in 2007, operates within a multi-practitioner wellness center that also houses chiropractic, naturopathic, and bodywork services under one roof. Rehabilitation protocols for postpartum recovery and prenatal discomfort draw on the same orthopedic acupuncture principles applied at Active Wellness Physical Therapy. Advanced fertility-support protocols combine auricular acupuncture with individualized Chinese herbal prescriptions targeting hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis regulation.
