Calming space, thoughtful care, and truly personalized treatments. The acupuncture is relaxing and effective, and the guidance is practical and supportive. I always leave feeling better and well cared for. Highly recommend. read more

I've been going to Diane Bousquin for the last 4 years . I'm a hairstylist by trade and have had pains in my arms, back and neck. She's been doing a great treatment and all the horrible pain I use to have is gone. Just over a month ago I had a breast reduction surgery and unfortunately had some complications. I was taking strong pain medication that didn't help much. I decided to see Diane again and as always worked her magical Accupuncture Treatment. All the pain on my breast area started to dissipate after my session. The obvious blood circulation helped expedite the healing process. I have so much faith and trust on Diane's experience. I highly recommend her for any sort of body pain . She's honest , professional and she cares for you . I feel blessed that I have Diane as my forever Acupuncture therapist. The best of the best in San Diego . read more

My wife started coming here to see Diane through a recommendation of a family member. Her office is in the back, and is quite nice. Diane is very friendly and offers great advice and excellent service. I highly recommend setting up an appointment with her, as her care has helped my wife out quite a bit! Overall, her care is great and she very friendly. read more

Diane is very well educated in acupuncture. I had been doing acupuncture with someone else for 15 years. She closed her practice. My friend recommended Diane. I am glad to say that fell into another great pair of hands in acupuncture. Diane continues to always update her skills to bring the best care and outcome for her patients. She has helped me with my stomach issues and a hip problem. Acupuncture does take time to reverse the damage you. It's worth the investment! read more

I was referred to Diane after being rear ended in an auto accident, I am delighted with the treatments and progress since my first visit. Diane has a possitive attitude and is educated, practiced and well versed in her approach. The healing process I am currently going through has been slow (11 months and counting) but tremendous progress has been made. Much of that attributed to Diane at Vital Changes. It is painful physically and emotionally to feel no hope of healing after a major injury/medical condition. I finally have hope of full recovery. Will return and will recommend. read more

I was referred to Diane's Acupuncture by a co-worker. It took a bit for me to go in, as I had been to many acupuncturists in my life that didn't amount to much. I did 2 packages which was a total of 7 visits I believe. I feel the spiritual type acupuncture that I chose to go to her specifically for, has truly made a difference. I am calmer and happier feeling in my life now even though I'm basically in the same position...I am just more content and can't explain it. She always has good nutritional or supplemental advice too, don't be afraid to pick her brain, she's got a lot of knowledge up there! read more

Best Accupuncture experience I ever had, Diane is a healer. Her passion and talent are felt right away when you meet her. She is very positive, energetic and kind and I feel amazing after each session with her. I feel instantly relaxed and balanced like I had the best massage of my life every time I have a treatment with her. She also does esoteric treatments which I highly recommend, they helped me a lot during my divorce and as I started the next chapter of my life. I feel the positive effects of those instantly. I'm so grateful I found Diane! I'll definitely keep using her services and I would definitely recommend that anyone try her out if you are looking for an amazing accupuncturist. She is real deal. No pain what so ever from her needles either. read more

Diane is an experienced and knowledgeable acupuncturist! She has a passion for this healing medicine and it shows. She's the first person I call when my old injury starts to act up because she is a guru when it comes to treating pain. read more

I definitely want to take time to say thank you to Diane Barquin for the best acupuncture. I have been going to her since I have moved to San Diego which was four years ago and I have not gone to anyone else.

In January 2021 I found out I had Lyme Disease. I suffer mainly from hearing loss, fatigue, stress, vertigo, joint pain and brain fog. I've been sick most of my life and have seen many different kinds of doctors, acupuncturist, chiropractors, therapists all over the nation. Diane is by far one of the best. Over the course of my treatment i've found the ringing in my ears has decrease drastically and I am no longer getting severe vertigo attacks. The last 3 months I've gone through some huge life changes because of Lyme Disease and Diane has been so supportive and positive through it all. She cares about her patients, makes you feel comfortable and educated you about every treatment plan you do. Vital Changes Acupuncture and Nutrition is changing my life for the better. I feel less stressed, more energized, less pain and overall happier. Diane has taken her time to get to know me and my health journey. Her energy is positive, caring and warm. I cannot tell you how much I look forward to my appointment every week- it seriously is one of the highlights of my week. After a visit I feel more in tune with my mind, body and soul. I can fully say I do not think I would overcome my Lyme Disease and treatment if it wasn't for Diane. I highly recommend anyone to go see Diane, she will take care of you, listen to you and do everything in her power to help. read more

Where do I begin with Diane? I started going to acupuncture for the first time roughly 6-9 months ago. I found Diane randomly online (although, I'm pretty sure the universe connected us for a reason). I was certainly nervous before going through with acupuncture (again having never been prior to Diane--needles do sound a little intimidating, I know!). Diane made me feel comfortable instantly from day one. From the get go, I knew I was in good hands, to say the least (you'll know exactly what I mean when you meet her). Diane does an outstanding job of catering treatments to meet each client's needs, moods and area of improvement desired. She truly cares about each patient's vitality and well-being. My health has improved significantly since I began seeing Diane. I have far less tension in my neck, back and am working through a few other internal health issues with Diane as well. I have never met someone who's more present and passionate about his or her work than Diane. If you've ever considered going to acupuncture, Diane has definitely been an amazing first acupuncture experience thus far. I've referred countless friends to her because I truly trust her expertise and she's brought such joy to my life. Two thumbs up for restoring my vitality and for being introduced in such a positive way to the blissful world that is acupuncture. Diane is a true gem! I can't say enough good things about Diane so treat yourself and give her a try--your body, mind and spirit will thank you! read more

I've known & been treated by Diane for many years now. Whenever I have a health issue I always consult with her for advice on treatment. She is constantly keeping up to speed on many current & future developments. She is caring & a concerned practitioner. Her treatments with laser helps my pain in my muscles and joints. I highly recommend laser treatments for healing. To great health !!! Michele read more

I have been receiving acupuncture from Diane for back nerve pain due to spinal stenosis. I have obtained a great amount of relief from treatments rendered by Diane (going from pain level 9 to 0) over these treatments. She has been professional, explaining the treatments to me. She has been very knowledgeable and has a prepared treatment plan. The environment of her treatments is clean and pleasant. It has allowed me to relax and manner and conversation has put me further at ease. This therapy has improved my quality of life tremendously, and much more functional . I have recommended Diane to friends. KBS read more

I was diagnosed by my primary with tendonitis in both my wrists and arms, and I have heard over the years that Acupuncture helps with a great deal of things. So after realizing my insurance covers it I began to look for somewhere to go. I came across Diane and read the reviews here on Yelp actually and they were enough to get me to call and schedule an appointment. I am so glad that I did. I've been seeing her weekly since February, and I cant believe the improvement. Diane is so caring and gentle. She takes her time and is concerned that I am ok and comfortable at all times. I really enjoy my weekly visits with her and look forward to them. Her energy level is so peaceful and I really feel that helps in the process of healing. I highly recommend you go and see her. Even if you've never had Acupuncture, she will take care of you! read more

I found Diane last year after I had injured my back. It was a holiday Monday. I was calling around having just moved to La Jolla and Diane answered the phone. It really was a case of "everything happens for a reason". She could fit me in that day and my recovery was quick due to her vast bag of "tricks". She did acupuncture, cold laser and now we maintain my progress with a technique that was new to me called the Graston Technique....she uses tools to break up my scar tissue. It's as if she's breaking it up with a flat edge of a knife....it never hurts, but feels soothing as it breaks up the tissue. She always has options and such wisdom with their use. She is an angel; always listening and always empathetic. I would send any and all to her! Thank you Diane!!! :) read more

I feel very fortunate to have found Diane. Her realm of treatment options is beyond tiny needles. In addition, there's cupping, herbs, diet modifications, cold laser therapy, and the Graston technique to name a few. I appreciate her range of treatment options in conjunction with traditional acupuncture. Especially since I am not always a fan of needles she works with me by choosing points that will work best for my comfort level. If you are seeking alternative healing go see Diane. She is extraordinary, patient and well experienced. She truly knows her craft. Clearly I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. read more

I recommend Diane to all my friends, family, etc. She is excellent at making me feel comfortable & relaxed no matter my mood or pain level. Diane listens to my needs and complaints each time I come in and modifies treatment to help me feel better. My issues are muscle pain in my neck, shoulders, & wrist. Diane has treated my pains with acupuncture, cupping, essential oils, and the laser therapy treatments. She is very thorough in finding the best personalized treatment. My favorite part is the laser therapy and as soon as I leave Diane's office my wrist feels like new and the other areas feel relief. I do not know where I would be without Diane! I look forward to visiting her every time! read more

I have been going to Diane of Vital Changes regularly for TCM acupuncture, Esoteric Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, and Cold Laser Therapy since October 2015. Diane is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. Diane is authentic - "walks her talk" - and embodies holistic health. The first time I ever tried Esoteric Acupuncture was in October 2015 with Diane - who trained with the founder Dr. Mikio Sankey. And I have continued doing weekly sessions of EA since then. It is a powerful alternative healing modality that has truly made a difference in helping me to stay centered and tuned into the Universe. read more

i did 6 weeks 20 years ago and i remember the experience to be wonderful. many people are terminally ill, so it's serious business with a touch of fun and accomplishment in it. i would highly recommend this terrific therapy. i lost 20 lbs and said "yay" to it all when i finished. read more

Diane is amazing! I lead a very active lifestyle and when I strained my QL and psoas muscles my lifestyle shifted dramatically; I could barely get out of bed without horrific pain. I went to Diane for pain relief after previous treatments failed. Diane evaluated my condition thoroughly after listening to my complaints and combined acupuncture with the Graston Technique. The results were incredible! After two treatments I felt considerable relief and continue to feel stronger and stronger! What I appreciate most about Diane's treatments is that she shares her knowledge by making me aware of how my body responds to stress and how to prevent further injuries. Diane's commitment to healing is unsurmountable! read more

I was referred to Diane Bousquin by my homeopath, for treatment for adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder syndrome). A combination of acupuncture and cold laser therapy has left me pain-free and on my way back to being my old self. Diane is a knowledgeable and compassionate professional and I am forever grateful to her for the care she provided. read more

Linda L. I have been a patient of Diane's for more than 8 years. I cannot say enough good things about her genuine concern for my good health and her thorough knowledge. During my time as Diane's patient she has treated me for bladder issues, allergies, heart problems and more. The last time I had a respiratory illness was in March 2012, 4 years ago. I suffered from rosacea for at least 10 years before Diane began treating me. The condition has completely disappeared & my face is clear and smooth. I look younger than my years. My daughter and several friends are currently seeing Diane and all report significant improvement in their health. One dramatic event deserves mentioning. My daughter injured the back of her hand when a large trash can toppled over and ground her fingers into the concrete. After 2 days infection had set in and we were going to go to the ER. Diane said, "please let me use Cold Laser on the wounds." We agreed. We could actually see healing within a few hours of the first treatment. It was incredible. read more
