Vitality Acupuncture and Functional Medicine - Santa Cruz, California

Evelyn is a phenomenal massage therapist and acupuncturist, who is extremely skilled and effective in the work she does. I’ve missed her very much since I moved to Oregon nearly 4 years ago, and I’m grateful that she was able to fit me into her schedule while I’m back in town for a visit. She was able to get some very tense and stubborn muscles to release in my neck, back, hips and legs, and I feel SO much better than I have in months. The difference is truly miraculous, she is simply the best!!

I have been seeing Evelyn for hormone health, gut health, and just overall well being. With her guidance, I have been on a personalized health journey tailored specifically for me and the root causes of my health issues. She is so compassionate and understanding. I have already seen so many improvements and look forward to continuing my journey. I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their life through functional medicine!

With the physical and emotional demands of being a middle school teacher; having an autoimmune disease plus high blood pressure; and just leaving my 50s, I decided it was time to focus on my health and reached out to Dr. Evelyn Skultety. Since Dr. Skultety has taken me under her care, not only have I been educated on how my body functions, but I am feeling more knowledgeable regarding my disease and stronger. Thanks to a personalized supplement plan, nutritional and exercise guidance, and frequent conferencing, I have witnessed improvement in my overall energy level, digestion, and blood pressure. Dr. Skultety also shared information with my doctors and was willing to work with my insurance company. I highly recommend consulting with Dr. Skultety if you want to take control of your health and live your best life.

Wow, I am impressed by the complexity of our bodies and how Dr. Evelyn is able to communicate an action plan in a feasible and collaborative way. She listens exactly to my concerns and goals, follows up with me and is available for questions along the way. I’m so relieved that I don’t have to try to make sense out of all the information (podcasts and supplement commercials) any more. I feel like she’s got my back and I can trust her. Honest people can be hard to find these days.

Evelyn worked with me on my COVID treatment and recovery plan. Her great work in treating me led me to decide to continue working together in general and targeted physical and mental health and wellbeing. Her protocol has helped me regain energy, find more mind-body balance, and tools to maintain that balance. I am especially impressed with her ability to make progress and informed decisions and treatments where standard western medical care has been unable to do so.

Evelyn has a great intuition for reading her patients. I highly recommend Evelyn’s services for anyone looking for a seriously dedicated practitioner that is committed to finding and addressing the root cause of her patients’ health problems.

I told Dr. Evelyn that she is a true healer. I guess it’s not just what she does, but also how she does it. I have had so much back and neck pain in my life (physical work, accidents, surgeries) and had tried a lot of therapists. But over the last half year I look forward to seeing Dr. Evelyn on a bi-weekly basis. That really keeps my pain down. Her specific deep tissue massage is amazing. And she often combines it with a bit of acupuncture, for those tight knots that never seem to release otherwise. And cupping, which I also love and it helps with recovery and detoxification. She also helped my shoulder injury heal up fast with acupuncture and supplements. She is so knowledgeable and resourceful that I come to her with all my other health related questions, like immune support or healthy diet. Full body wellness. More time to enjoy life again!

I can't thank you enough Evelyn for all your generous help to Joe & me. We are both finally able to move pain free again! We feel well taken care of with your supplements prescribed specifically to our needs, which will get our blood markers back in range, & enable us to avoid pharmaceuticals with their harmful side effects.
You are so knowledgeable on so many levels, yet you are able to break down complex matters in a way we can understand with your patient, soothing demeanor.
I hope many more people are able to enjoy all the beneficial services you offer, & find themselves in better health as a result!

For 6 years Evelyn has been my go-to for migraine headaches and stress related tension in my neck, shoulders and low back. Her massage and dry needling skills are spot-on and I always feel such a relief after her treatment. She is the first person to actually stop my migraine in its tracks! It gives me peace of mind to know that I can always reach out for help and don’t have to suffer through the pain and headaches for days. She is always super supportive with anything that I might need in relation to health and I know that I can count on her to be there!
Thank you so much!
