I help active adults, like you, solve chronic health issues and improve quality of life through acupuncture, manual therapies, herbs, and corrective exercise. I have natural solutions for your health concerns. I work with you to transform your posture, breathing, movement, and the health of your tissues so that you can enjoy the pain-free, energetic, engaged life you crave.

While I see a vast array of conditions, I specialize in treating pelvic floor conditions such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, diastasis recti, prostatitis, and erectile dysfunction. You deserve a quality of life that is solid, dependable. Live every day without fear. No more holding back while playing with your grandchildren. No more planning activities around access to bathrooms.

I combine physical medicine, acupuncture , osteopathic manual techniques (cranio-sacral therapy, visceral manipulation, myofascial therapy, Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage), and Traditional Chinese Medical herbal formulas or supplements in each session in order to give you the most thorough, well-rounded treatment, individually tailored to your constitution, body type, and health concerns.

It’s time to get your groove on—because your quality of life matters.

Vivianne Hipol Gantous DACM, RN, is an Integrative Eastern Medicine Practitioner who believes an individualized approach for each patient is the root to healing the whole person. Her practice is a mosaic of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bio-Energetics, Functional Medicine, and Western allopathic training. Choosing from the best of each of these modalities, a unique plan of care is created for every patient.
Her motivation to practice has always been a love of humans and healing herself from debilitating post-partum depletion after the birth of two out of her three children. She enjoys treating all members of the family unit especially women’s health as a mother’s vitality is the first mirror for her children. She also enjoys finding alternatives for “hard to treat” internal medicine cases.
Coming from a family of physicians, Vivianne sees firsthand the immense contributions of Western medicine and the treasures Eastern and Western Medicine together can best benefit not only a patient’s current condition but a lifetime of health.
For over 18 years, Vivianne is a licensed Acupuncturist, Herbalist and Nutritionist in California and Virginia, a Registered Nurse, a wife, and mother of three. This year she is launching a post-partum program and specific services for new parents as they navigate an understanding of their new body and evolution of their expanded identity.
Today she sees patients in person and via telemedicine at her office, Boundless Well-Being, located in Virginia Beach. When she’s not with her family or seeing patients, she’s on a trek with notebook and pen or abroad with her husband.
