I have been working full-time as an Acupuncturist in the Addiction Medicine and Pain Management fields for the past 9 years. In 2014, I was promoted to Head of Acupuncture Department at The Treatment Center of the Palm Beaches.
I created my company, Acu-AM LLC to address the needs of The Treatment Center addiction and pain patients, and have developed special protocols to work within the Addiction Recovery and Pain Management arenas. I have hired and trained Acupuncturists in these techniques with great success. I would now like to pass these protocols on to other Acupuncturists in the form of official PDA/CEU coursework.
Current Project: My book, Restore Your Sight, Train Your Brain with Eye Yoga and Brain Games is now available in its second edition on Amazon. This is a complete course for improving vision, concentration, and mental clarity with eye yoga exercises, meditations, and relaxation techniques. The basis for this book was my Masters’ Thesis A Traditional Chinese Medicine Approach to Alternative Ophthalmologic Care, which awarded me the prestigious John H. F. Shen Scholarship Award from Emperor’s College of Oriental Medicine, Santa Monica, Ca, in 2002.
Employment History: 30+ years in professional practice in the healing arts.
