As dedicated health practitioners, we wholeheartedly believe that your health is your most precious resource and most valuable asset. Without good health, your quality of life is diminished and it’s hard to feel content. Approaching wellness from an integrative, holistic manner, we strive to eliminate the causes of disease and illness while promoting wellness education.

Combining the efforts of general practitioners with nutritional experts, functional medicine associates, and others, our staff works to improve the body/mind/spirit connection to help elevate wellness levels throughout the entire body.

From chiropractic treatments and acupuncture to IPT cancer therapy, we work in partnership with the patients themselves, allowing them to take ownership in their own treatment plan while learning more about the integrative nature of the human body. Our focus is to treat the underlying cause of disease and illness, alleviating symptoms and pain through holistic healing.

Here at the Gentle Wellness Center, we are driven by a mission to empower consumers and practitioners both through education, training, and research. We are here to assist each patient on their journey to optimal wellness.

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.
