Her Story

A Practitioner Who's Lived What She Treats

Dr. Pineda didn't stumble into prenatal and pediatric chiropractic. She was drawn to it — deeply, personally, and with the full weight of her own experience as a mother of five.

She knows what it feels like to be pregnant and uncomfortable at 3am. She knows the worry of bringing a newborn in for their first adjustment. She knows what it means to trust someone with your baby. That understanding shapes everything about the way she practices.

A Southern California native, Dr. Pineda has been serving the Eagle Rock community and surrounding neighborhoods since 2009. Her practice is built on three things: clinical excellence, genuine warmth, and the kind of personalized care that makes patients feel seen — not processed.

"Whatever brought you here, I will meet you where you are. My job is to help your body do what it already knows how to do."

Her Training

Dual-Licensed, Deeply Trained

Dr. Pineda holds two distinct licenses — as a Doctor of Chiropractic and as a Licensed Acupuncturist — which is uncommon and gives her patients a genuinely integrative approach to care. Rather than choosing between chiropractic and acupuncture, her patients benefit from both, seamlessly combined in a single treatment plan.

Her specialization in prenatal and pediatric care required extensive post-graduate training beyond her core licensing. She has advanced post-graduate training in prenatal pelvic care and has hands-on experience with:

✓Breech and malpositioned presentation
✓Symphysis pubic dysfunction (SPD)
✓Torticollis in newborns and infants
✓Pregnancy-related nausea and morning sickness
✓Postpartum recovery and pelvic rebalancing
✓Pediatric wellness care from newborn through teen

How We Practice

The Vida Family Wellness Approach

Care that is personal, thorough, and built around your goals — not a template.

Drug-free by design

Everything we do works with your body's natural healing ability — no medications, no shortcuts, no dependency. Just your body doing what it was designed to do.

Personalized, always

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment here. Every plan is built around your body, your stage of life, your goals, and what you tell us matters most to you.

Family-centered

We treat patients from newborns to grandparents. Our office is warm, welcoming, and designed with families in mind — strollers, toddlers, and all.

Honest with you

Dr. Pineda tells you what she actually finds, recommends only what she genuinely believes will help, and respects your ability to make informed decisions about your own care.

New Patients

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first appointment is a conversation as much as it is an examination. Dr. Pineda wants to understand your full health picture — where you are, where you've been, and where you want to go.

Plan for approximately 60–75 minutes for your first visit. Your first visit includes a thorough consultation, health history review, physical examination, and — if appropriate — your first treatment.

You will leave with a clear understanding of what Dr. Pineda found, what she recommends, and why. No pressure, no rush.
