Veronica A. is a local acupuncturist, herbalist, surfer, world traveler, mother, and daughter. Raised in San Ardo, she now runs a flourishing acupuncture practice in Paso Robles. Veronica's journey in building a life around fostering wellness carries forth lessons she has inherited, especially from her mother, who immigrated from a small village in the San Luis Potosí region of Mexico as a young woman. She shares and cultivates those lessons of resilience, care, and connection to nature in her career as a holistic health practitioner, in her everyday life as a community leader, and in the homestead that she tends with her daughter and their many beloved animals.

Join Our Community Effort

Our Roots/Our Routes is more than just an archive of history: it’s a project devoted to recognizing and honoring the resilience, creativity, and adaptability of communities that have shaped the local region. It is fueled by a commitment to supporting community pathways of self-definition and self-determination, and ultimately contributing to a more just and sustainable future for the Central Coast.

Through these stories, we aim to strengthen community bonds, foster cross-cultural understanding, and give voice to the rich diversity that defines our region.
