Our goal at Acupuncture of Orlando is to augment each patient’s capacity to move toward optimum health and vitality with the use of the most up-to-date and proven effective natural therapies.

After working the past 20 years as an Occupational Therapist in a variety of healthcare settings from hospital based rehabilitation clinics to home care service, I became interested in approaching healing from a different perspective in order to help people become empowered about their health on all levels. I found acupuncture to resonate with my belief that medicine should be judged in terms of how effective it is in understanding and treating the problem as the patient experiences it.
