Meet the Acupuncturists

Our Staff of Licensed Acupuncturists each have their own specialties so we can offer a wide variety of acupuncture treatments to address our patient needs.

Anna Rudel, L. Ac. is the owner and founder of Lokahi Acupuncture. Her passion is working with Fertility patients as well as with Women’s Health. She works with patients trying to get pregnant naturally; those working with Assisted Reproductive Techniques such as IUI, IVF, Frozen Embryo Transfer; and those who have issues such as Luteal Phase Defect or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

Angie O’Sullivan, L. Ac. is a general practitioner and has a great depth of knowledge and understanding for working with patients that have Digestive Disorders such as IBS, Acid Reflux or Leaky Gut Syndrome, Anxiety and Depression, as well as Women's Health.

Katy Barry, L. Ac. works with Male Fertility, Female Fertility and Women’s Health.  She uses Chinese herbs and Acupuncture to improve the quality, quantity and swimming speed of the sperm to ensure that the couple has the best possible chance at conceiving.

Shawn Smolinski, L. Ac. is a general practitioner who focuses much of his work on Pain Syndromes, Stroke Rehabilitation and Internal Medicine focusing on Digestive Disorders. His technique is very hands-on, and uses many modalities from acupuncture to herbal plasters, exercises and cranio-sacral therapy.

Stacey Pribanic, L. Ac., focuses much of her practice on Pain - she loves the immediacy of having a patient feel better, and thrives on figuring out how to best address the issue at hand. Her technique is more Acupuncture-based than Shawn's, and would be well-suited to those who have been prescribed acupuncture for their pain condition. Stacey also loves working with more 'general' issues such as blood-sugar problems like hypoglycemia, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Patient Comments

Having just moved to the area, I was very nervous about finding a new acupuncturist.  I found out about Lokahi at San Jose Pride, and was happy to know that they were LGBTQ friendly.  From the moment I called for the appointment until the moment I left the office, I experienced professional, caring, spiritually minded, amazing service.  The location is clean and serene, Lori the receptionist is helpful and attentive, and Anna Rudel is a brilliant acupuncturist. She is not only sweet, caring, helpful and knowledgeable, but she has the most comfortable technique I have ever experienced.  I did not feel the needles at all, and after years of acupuncture, it was very apparent she was a pro. I loved the visualization she gave me, and her true desire to be of maximum service. Thank you! Thank you! My search is over.
