Helping couples in Brandon and Tampa area become families when success through Western methods is deemed impossible.

I practice in the Virginia MN and surrounding area. I have a Master degree of Oriental Medicine. I am also an herbalist and believe that 'food is our medicine'.
I teach my patients how to enhance lifestyles and it is my belief that 'what you do the 6 days between treatments, makes the biggest impact on health and wellbeing.' I will teach you home remedies and give you insight that allows your body to heal itself.

CNYCA is Central New York's first acupuncture clinic dedicated to powerful, affordable and effective, community-style acupuncture.

“I feel so privileged to be in the position, for the rest of my life, to help others. The best part of my job is being able to help people truly heal. Most people, to some degree, are in some level of pain, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. My goal as a provider is not only to treat symptoms, but more importantly to treat the root causes of those symptoms to help people truly be well and live vibrantly. That’s what wellness is, and that’s what I love to help others achieve.”

When Melinda is not treating patients, you will most likely find her in the ocean with her family on the Seacoast of NH. Melinda is an avid surfer (yes, even during the New England winters!), certified yoga teacher, and lifelong athlete. She possesses an innate appreciation of the importance of developing and maintaining a strong and healthy body and mind.

As a licensed Acupuncturist, Melinda blends the best of both eastern and western medicine. In addition to her education and clinical experience, Melinda spent over a decade training doctors in medical devices and robotic surgical technology. As a result, she has an excellent foundation and appreciation for western medicine, while recognizing the importance of comprehensive, integrative care for patients. Compelled by helping others, she made the decision to leave her career and become a healthcare provider herself. Melinda chose the field of Acupuncture because it gives her the unique opportunity to provide personalized, holistic, patient-centered care.
