Community Acupuncture Studio

Meet the Acupuncturist and Clinic Founder

Gianna McManus is a licensed acupuncturist that received her degree from Bastyr University.  She sees each individual as unique and whole and would like to see complementary health care accessible to more people.  Gianna has seen patients at several clinics around Seattle including Harborview Medical Center's Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia Clinic, Harborview's International Clinic, Carolyn Downs Family Medical Center, and Communichi, a community acupuncture clinic in Seattle where she volunteered.  Originally from the Northeast, Gianna is an avid dog lover and outdoor enthusiast.  When she's not at the clinic, you might find her mountain biking in Capitol Forest, camping on the peninnsula, or enjoying a movie at the Capitol Theater downtown. 
Vivia en Mexico por un ano y se habla espanol (mas o menos).
