Amy Lor, LAc, EAMP., Dipl. O.M., graduated from Bastyr University, a regionally accredited, globally respected institution of natural health arts and sciences, with a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She was drawn to medicine through her own health challenges.

Her very first health problem that she sought acupuncture treatment for was low back pain. She had severe low back pain during pregnancy. With two treatments her low back pain resolved and never came back throughout her pregnancy.

She have used Chinese medicine to effectively treat many health concerns. Some of those conditions include pain, gastro-intestinal conditions (IBS, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, etc.), women’s health (menstrual irregularities, menopause, infertility, etc.), skin conditions (eczema, rashes, psoriasis, itchiness), stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue, low immune system, addictions, and so much more.

In addition to her acupuncture and herbal knowledge, she’s also able to educate her patients through nutritional and lifestyle recommendations to produce longer lasting health and better wellness. She knows that everyone has their own struggles and that everyone is at a different path in their lives therefore, her assessment and treatment is individualized to her patient’s unique experiences and concerns.

Living Room Acupuncture opened it’s doors in 2011 to served the needs of Downtown Miami residents and workers. The clinic was founded by Rafael Perez, a native of Miami Florida. The clinic was designed to be an oasis of tranquility within the hustle and bustle of the city. The goal of the clinic is to engage the natural healing ability within each client using ancient and modern healing techniques.

I see a wide variety of conditions including Migraines, tension type headaches, chronic low back pain, osteoarthritis knee pain and Infertility issues.
I can provide acupuncture support throughout IVF treatment and also provide acupuncture support for pregnant women throughout their pregnancy and into labour. I am a Zita West Affilate for fertility treatment.
