Meet Taylor Priselac

Acupuncture By Taylor is a safe space for you to heal, recover, and start living a healthier life.

A unique perspective, friend, and advocate for your health and wellness.

I know that living your healthiest life is often easier said than done. My own health challenges with autoimmune issues left me feeling lost and lonely. Eventually, I found the support I needed through holistic medicine and it changed everything.

I’m here to make healthcare less stressful and more accessible for you. To support you and help you feel in control of your life despite your illness.

I do this because because it’s fun. Every day I wake up with the intention of building meaningful, mutually inspiring relationships. I believe that when we work together to live healthier lives, our whole community thrives. I can’t wait to meet you and start this healing journey together!

With Love, Taylor

Meet Your Acupuncturist & Wellness Advocate

About Dr. Taylor Priselac, DAOM, L.Ac

Certified by the California Acupuncture Board and NCCAOM

Taylor is a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist and clinical herbalist. Finding inspiration from modern research and classical texts, she recognizes the benefits of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and conventional biomedicine to treat her patients. She maintains a holistic view of health and emphasizes stress reduction, sleep, and healthy digestion concurrently with all other treatments. With a gentle needling style, she also aims to make the experience enjoyable for her patients!

She first became interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine while struggling with autoimmune diseases. These affected her both mentally and physically, and were not responsive to Western medical treatments. After finally finding relief through Acupuncture treatments, she shifted her career to help others heal and cultivate a healthy lifestyle.

Taylor lives with her family in Ocean Beach where she loves to spend time by the water, practice yoga, cook, play soccer, dance, and write.

Your whole story matters.

In Western society, we tend to look at things using a linear and often siloed approach. We think that each piece can be fixed individually, separated from the whole.

But we are more than the sum of our parts. Chinese Medicine teaches us to see life more cyclical and interconnected than we give it credit for. It’s not about fixing the individual pieces; it’s about addressing you, as a whole person.

Every one of us has a unique story that matters. As your wellness practitioner and advocate, it is my honor to get to be part of yours!

Prevention rather than cure.

Yang Sheng is a beautiful term that translates to "nourishing life." In Chinese Medicine, this concept means to prevent disease through lifestyle, and it is the philosophical foundation of Chinese Medicine.

Yang sheng fosters health and well-being by nurturing body, mind, and spirit in harmony with nature. This holistic approach goes beyond managing symptoms and helps us reach true health through diet, exercise, sleep, and emotional balance.

With the right lifestyle habits to support it, the body is resilient. And Chinese Medicine gives us the holistic tools to tap into your body’s natural self-healing power.

"Wellness" means more good days.

I developed an autoimmune condition - alopecia areata - in 2014. From there many health challenges followed forcing me to rethink health and consider internal and external forces affecting me. While my hair has not come back, I am healthy and thriving. I’m not sick anymore; I simply do not have hair (but I do have wigs for fun!).

Health and wellbeing looks different for everyone. One thing is consistent though, when you find it, you know. Life feels easier. You have more fun. You laugh more and have the presence to appreciate the small things. Does that mean a “healthy” life is without challenges? No, where's the fun in that? 🙂

But it does mean one thing: you're in for more good days.
