About Dr. Elise Lasko
Dr. Elise Lasko, DACM, L.Ac., is the practitioner behind Fern Acupuncture and Family Wellness in Vista, in North County San Diego. Dr. Lasko's work is grounded in Classical Five Element Acupuncture and East Asian medicine, and it's built on a simple belief: real healing begins when you feel seen, supported, and cared for as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms.
Where they focus
Dr. Lasko cares especially for women and families, from fertility and pregnancy through postpartum, and for children with gentle, needle-free options like shonishin. Care also supports mental and emotional wellbeing, everyday stress, and pain, drawing on acupuncture, custom Chinese herbal formulas, cupping, and nutrition and lifestyle guidance tailored to you.
How they work
Your first visit is a relaxed two-hour session where the practice takes time to understand your history, your goals, and how you feel day to day before treatment begins. Five Element acupuncture works at the mental-emotional level to help the body resolve symptoms from the inside out, and Dr. Lasko weaves in the intuitive side of energy work and years of lived experience alongside the clinical training.

That's the spirit of this clinic: a warm, welcoming space for individuals and families across San Diego. Whether you're new to acupuncture or continuing your wellness journey, you're welcome here.
