Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine for Everyone!
We offer private and community style treatments to facilitate each person's unique healthcare needs.

Are you seeking a practitioner who's a) Passionate about thoroughly analyzing and researching your case, b) Committed to helping you achieve excellent results, and c) Eager to go the extra mile to ensure every patient is empowered with tools for long-term wellness? You've come to the right place. If pain is holding you back, sleep problems have you frazzled, or women, if it seems your monthly cycles are hijacking your life, a different reality is possible! Helping you reclaim your quality of life is my utmost priority.
Once we begin our work together, you will receive a report of findings which establishes benchmarks, sets goals for your treatments, and allows clear result-tracking. Customized suggestions for herbal medicine, supplements, exercise, nutrition, and other self-care options will assist you in maximizing your treatment outcomes.
I invite you to call and schedule a free phone-consultation. This will help both of us evaluate whether your case and my expertise are a good match. Should we choose to work together, convenient morning, evening, and Saturday appointments are available.

The Florida College of Integrative Medicine is a full service clinic providing natural therapeutic treatments that integrate traditional Chinese medicine with modern Western medicine, which is open to the public. As the clinic’s patients approach the clinic, they are greeted by beautiful Lake Eleanor and surrounded by many shade trees; while indoors, patients enjoy a soothing atmosphere with tranquil Chinese music in an inviting and comfortable reception area. The on-campus integrative medicine clinic is centrally located (link to locations page) near all major Orlando highways and is easily accessible.

My specialty is pain and stress management. I utilize a wide range of effective, non-invasive natural medicine treatments to fit patient's individual needs. Taking the time to truly listen to their concerns and providing them with answers to medical questions is very important to me. Making better choices about their health to improve their current condition, as well as prevent future illness is our mutual goal.
