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.

I have worked with adults, children and the elderly and am happy to answer any questions you may have regarding how Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine can benefit you and your family. Together, and with your Western M.D., we can work toward achieving more comprehensive health and wellness for you.

At Enliven Health and Wellness in San Antonio, TX we offer acupuncture, herbal therapy, diet, and lifestyle advice to help you attain the best performance or address underlying issues. Using the backdrop of Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine, we will help you understand and address blocks or weakness in your body that are preventing you from achieving optimal health.

Think of us as health detectives, using clues from your symptomatology, your pulse and tongue diagnosis and functional medicine test to help understand what is happening internally that is limiting your natural state of health and wellness.

Utilizing the comprehensive combination of therapies from Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM), as well as science-based emerging care in nutritional therapies of Functional Medicine, we can uncover what ails you, be it fertility concerns to digestive complaints and headaches or insomnia.

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.
