Vanina Wolf, L.Ac., Dipl.Ac.

Vanina Wolf is the director of The Five Stones Clinic and a licensed acupuncturist. Recently recognized by Baltimore Magazine, as a “TOP DOC” in acupuncture, she is board certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She earned her Master of Science in Five Element Acupuncture from the TAI-SOPHIA Institute (a.k.a Maryland Institute of Integrative Health), the nation’s first acupuncture school and leading academic institution for integrative medicine.

Vanina began researching alternative health care modalities when she first moved to Baltimore in 1994 – to satisfy a life-long interest in health and to address her own digestive disorder. Through her research, she discovered a passion for the healing arts and ultimately decided to pursue her desire to help others through holistic medicine.

Vanina became interested in acupuncture and Chinese medicine for its root in common sense. She, herself, experienced profound and lasting relief from her initial digestive issues, which encouraged her to share this medicine with even more enthusiasm and dedication. She became faculty shortly after graduation and a clinical supervisor for hundreds of new acupuncture students over the course of 7 years.

Vanina has been in practice for over 20 years and treats a wide variety of conditions stemming from emotional and/or physical imbalances that manifest in chronic pain, digestive disorders, skin problems, respiratory complications, insomnia, depression, anxiety, male and female reproductive disorders, neuralgias, and orthopedic injuries. Furthermore, she provides simple lifestyle coaching to empower her patients to reclaim their health outside the treatment room.

Born in Paris, she has lived in France, USA, and Spain and has traveled extensively throughout Europe, Israel, and Ecuador. Her international exposure has given her global insights in how to treat human beings. In addition to English, she also speaks French and Spanish fluently.

Vanina enjoys staying current in health news, and continuing her education in sub-specialties such as: Reproductive Health, Treatments for Cancer, Wellness, and Facial Rejuvenation.

Vanina has a wonderful Baltimorean husband and is a mother to three adorable and loving children. Their dog, Mordi, is the sixth member of their family.
