About

“Whether you were born with or lived through certain adverse experiences, Innata was built for you to discover clarity and strength in your body’s abilities - no matter what hand you were dealt.”

Dr. Isabella Gucci-Ruffalo, DACM LAc

Having overcome childhood leukemia, Dr. Isabella experienced early on that the body can repair from anything. She grew up in search of a way free from the aggression, chemicals, side-effects, bright lights and suffering of modern care. Early in her career as a Nutritionist, Detoxification Specialist and director of nationwide cleanse programs, she found that even naturopathic approaches didn’t fully address mental-emotional factors, and often left patients dependent on ongoing supplementation and procedures. Turning to mentorships with her Tibetan yoga elder, an Integrative Neuropsychiatrist, and German Biological Medicine doctor, she formed the foundation for her own holistic system of Regenerative Health. All throughout she stayed devoted to the study of Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture with ten years of apprenticeship under Taoist Qi Gong Master and NIH researcher and oncologist, Grandmaster Hong Liu.

After a five year clinical degree and advanced training in Psychiatry in Acupuncture and Classical Chinese Medicine, she completed an integrative doctorate in the involvement of the autonomic nervous system and environmental toxicity in autoimmune and psychiatric disorders. Dr. Isabella specializes in the the natural reversal of chronic conditions with psychological factors and etiologies. As a resident instructor in rehabilitation and recovery programs and a member of The American Institute of Mental Health In Traditional Chinese Medicine and The World Federation of Chinese Medicine Society’s Committee of Mental Disease, Dr. Isabella is actively involved in advancing holistic approaches to modern healthcare. As a Taoist physician and trained martial artist, her work is rooted in cultivating health by supporting the natural laws of the body through skill rather than force. Without invasion, without compromise.
