Dr. Savannah Cryar is a licensed Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine based in Encinitas, California, specializing in stress and anxiety, hormonal imbalance, digestive health, and chronic pain.

Her work blends Five Element acupuncture with a modern understanding of the nervous system, helping patients address the underlying patterns that disrupt both physical and emotional health.

She takes a whole-body approach, helping patients understand how symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, and cycle irregularities are often connected to deeper patterns within the body. Through acupuncture, she supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance, improve resilience, and create lasting change.

Savannah works with individuals seeking a more integrated, root-cause approach to their health—especially those who feel something is “off” but haven’t found clear answers elsewhere.

The Inner Tradition of

CHINESE MEDICINE

Classical Chinese Medicine goes beyond symptom relief to support your personal evolution and authentic self-expression. At its heart is the Dao—what scholar Lony Jarrett describes as "the way one comes to see and understand oneself."

The Chinese character yu, meaning "to heal," depicts a boat carrying a heart, capturing the practitioner's role as guide in your journey back to wholeness.

In our fast-paced coastal lifestyle, Five Element acupuncture and Classical Chinese medicine offer sustainable wellness that honors both your ambitions and your need for authentic connection. Rather than simply managing stress, it cultivates the deep resilience and clarity that supports long-term success.

Acupuncture supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while addressing root causes of stress, hormonal imbalance, digestive issues, and chronic pain.

While subtle at first, the effects of treatment often ripple outward, creating lasting change. Clients often report:

Reduced pain and inflammation

Hormonal balance and cycle regulation

Improved digestion and sleep

More energy and vitality

Emotional stability and mental clarity

Feeling more aligned and present

A sense of returning home to themselves

Frequency of Treatment

Acupuncture is more than pain relief, it's preventive medicine. It helps your system stay in alignment, supporting your evolution physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Regular acupuncture treatments support hormonal balance, digestion, emotional well-being, and overall nervous system regulation.

Patient Reflections

“I first came to Savannah for cosmetic acupuncture to help with hormonal acne and postpartum hormone imbalance, and she completely transformed my life. Before treatment, I had migraines, neck pain, irregular periods, insomnia, poor circulation, and fatigue. Within one week of Five Element acupuncture, my period regulated for the first time in four years. I now sleep through the night and have energy and clarity again. Savannah helped my body heal and created release and flow on a soul level. I feel like I got my life force back.”
