MEET DR. MARGARITA

Dr. Margarita Russolello, DACM, L.Ac. is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and trauma-informed integrative medicine provider who has spent the last decade of her life studying evidence-based medicine and holistic healing traditions across the globe.

After receiving her doctorate in 2019, she worked at Tia — an integrative medicine startup bridging primary care, acupuncture, and mental health therapy for accessible, whole person care. Here, she managed a caseload of 40-60 clients per week, treating complex cases in gynecology, endocrinology, psychology, and dermatology.

She founded Sanu Acupuncture PLLC in 2021, where she has created an innovative clinical care model centering whole person wellness, from physical health to mental health. In addition to offering healthcare, she is a yoga and meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator, and social justice advocate offering her a breadth of insights into social change, innovative leadership, and revolutionary practices. She centers the liberation of all beings in her work, and has worked in sectors of addiction, codependency, LGBTQIA health, mental illness, and intimate partner violence.

Outside of this, she loves to treat fertility, prenatal and postpartum care, chronic pain and orthopedics, hormonal health, digestion, autoimmune issues, and skin concerns. In addition to private sessions, she works with corporations and teams, and offers workplace wellness and local and international retreats.

She is thrilled to offer trauma-informed, compassionate healthcare where patients’ experiences and symptoms are validated, and all systems are interconnected to find the root cause of imbalances for whole-body health.
