Rachel Riba

MSTOM, L.Ac
Rachel Riba, MSTOM, L.Ac
Rachel Riba is a Licensed Acupuncturist, Certified Herbalist, and Nutrition Educator. As a General Practitioner she is focused on treating with a gentle hand and sharing knowledge to bring you to a better state of wellness, empowerment and sustainability. With experience in treating a wide variety of conditions, she continues to explore Chinese medicine with special interest in stress and anxiety reduction, orthopedic and digestive complaints, fibromyalgia, and migraine headaches. Rachel enjoys working with patients of all ages, including children and older adults.

Spending much of her free time in the mountains throughout her life, her love of nature grew into studying plants and a natural lifestyle. From a very young age, she has had an interest in natural medicine as well as indigenous cultures. She received a Bachelors of Science in Cultural Anthropology from the State University of New York at Purchase. During this time she began to combine her interest in indigenous cultures with that of plant medicine, and enjoyed learning about various types of traditional medicine.  After receiving her BS, she became a Certified Herbalist (western and Chinese herbal medicine) and a Nutrition Educator (holistic nutrition). 

With a strong interest in combining Chinese medicine with her current work, she went on to receive her Masters of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.  During this time she also completed clinical rotations at the UCSD Moore’s Cancer Center, UCSD Free Seniors Clinic, and UCSD RIMAC Sports Center. After completing her Master’s Degree, Rachel began to study CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, and Neural Manipulation through coursework and mentorship. These are gentle, hands on techniques that she frequently incorporates into her acupuncture treatments, and are beneficial for a wide variety of health conditions.

"Everyone at PCoH is amazing - but this review is specifically for Rachel Riba. She is absolutely awesome - and the only other person I will go to for acupuncture outside of Adrian Bean. She's everything you could want in an acupuncturist - she listens, asks questions, and works with you to make sure she is treating the real issue. No question is dumb, and you never feel rushed. She truly cares about getting it right! Can't recommend her highly enough!" ~ Tanya M., San Diego
