At Acupuncture Pain and Stress Center, my goal is to give you effective perceivable results. I will employ different acupuncture and bodywork techniques depending on the health issues you face. Acupuncture treatments range from a spa-like soothing experience to something comparable to a tissue massage. I will choose the techniques I employ based on your illness or injury and your mindset. The whole goal is to provide lasting relief you can feel.

The Art and Science of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Food Energetics and Herbal Healing
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is like a timeless conversation between humanity and nature, a dialogue that’s been refining itself for over 80 centuries. As an integrative practitioner, I’ve watched patients walk into my clinic skeptical, only to leave with a newfound respect for the power of a well-placed herb or a bowl of congee. TCM’s approach to health—using food and herbs to harmonize the body’s Qi, Yin, and Yang—is both an art and a science, grounded in observation and elevated by intuition.

Kim E. Reid is a Florida licensed acupuncturist, having graduated from The Atlantic Institute for Oriental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, FL with a Bachelor's Degree in Health Sciences and a Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine. She is also licensed to practice Acupuncture Point Injection Therapy in the state of Florida.

In addition to her years of standard clinical experience, Kim was lucky enough to be chosen to practice Acupuncture internationally while working for Carnival Cruise Lines and Holland American Cruise Lines. "The most amazing thing about working on the ships, was that I was able to treat a wide variety of diseases. Just by the diverse nature of the guests on-board, I saw patients from all walks of life who sought my services for diabetes, fibromyalgia, erectile dysfunction, shoulder pain, low back pain, restless leg syndrome, stress and anxiety and much more."

In additional to her clinical work, Kim has delivered hundreds of informational seminars helping to educate people who would otherwise never have tried Acupuncture, "my biggest reward is watching someone who walked into the seminar doubtful and afraid of acupuncture but deciding to take a chance and try it for the first time. There is no greater honor than to have someone have such trust in you and your abilities to help them heal. But I have to tell you, the biggest reward was watching these people get up off the table relaxed, amazed and feeling better; no longer doubtful about Chinese Medicine and its power to help heal the body."

Kim is a dedicated professional and is passionate about Chinese Medicine. In addition to the many modalities practiced by Chinese Medicine, Kim is a firm believer in the medicinal effects of Herbal Medicine. During your visit with Kim you can expect a recommendation of a Herbal Formula that will assist you on your healing journey.
