VESNA
MUDRINIĆ
L.Ac, MSc Acu.
Born in Toronto, Vesna Mudrinić now heads Satori Acupuncture in Zagreb. A lawyer with a degree from the Faculty of Law (2010), she left her legal career to explore health through Traditional Chinese Medicine.
She studied acupuncture at Shenzhou University of TCM in Amsterdam. She earned her master’s degree (cum laude) at the Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York under the mentorship of Kiiko Matsumoto, Mark Seem, Dr. Chad Bong, and Dr. Michelle Bombacie.
Vesna proudly holds the title of Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac) from the New York State Board—the highest state license in the United States. Additional certifications in shiatsu, macrobiotics, and phytotherapy broaden her perspective. She combines this diverse knowledge with a holistic approach to deliver precise and effective treatments.
After a successful legal career and passing the bar exam, Vesna Mudrinić listened to her inner voice and devoted herself to what truly inspires her—holistic work with people through Traditional Chinese Medicine. A traffic accident proved to be the pivotal moment of courage that sealed this life-changing decision.
The name Satori, a Japanese Zen term for a sudden, profound insight—captures Vesna’s vision: to provide clients with immediate clarity and relief. In her Zagreb practice of the same name, she merges Eastern wisdom with Western science, offering evidence-based acupuncture that is both accessible and easy to understand.
No two Satori acupuncture sessions are alike, just as no two bodies are identical. At Satori Acupuncture, we don’t follow a one-size-fits-all “recipe”; instead, we blend carefully developed methods and tailor every treatment to the individual in front of us.
“People often ask me how many needles I use in a single session, and my answer is always the same: ‘It depends—on the person and the moment.’ The magic of Eastern medicine lies precisely in that adaptability. Acupuncture has taught me how to read the body and personalize every touch, so patients are often surprised by how quickly they feel relief.”
