Acupuncturist in Austin

Ashtau Gabriela is a licensed acupuncturist and natural-born healer from Quito, Ecuador. Raised in a multicultural home, she developed a lifelong passion for connecting with people across cultures. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of South Florida with degrees in French and International Studies and is fluent in Spanish, English, and French.

Her path to healing began with yoga, spending six years teaching Ashtanga Yoga in New Orleans. This foundation gave her a deep understanding of how the body’s physical and energetic systems reflect emotional and mental well-being.

To expand her ability to help others, she earned a master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine. Seeing how acupuncture and herbal medicine positively impacted her digestion, menstrual health, stress, and emotional well-being inspired her to dedicate herself to guiding patients on their own paths to wellness.

Ashtau specializes in pain management, neuropathy, paralysis (including Bell’s Palsy), hormone balance, stress, and emotional health. She continually advances her expertise through mentorship and ongoing education, ensuring patients receive compassionate, effective, and modern care.

Her approach integrates body, mind, and spirit, helping patients cultivate lasting vitality and harmony that goes beyond the absence of symptoms.
