Dr. Florida is married with two children and lives in central Houston.  She grew up as an "expat" brat living in 4 states and Egypt before completing highschool at Klein in Spring Texas. She grew up as an athlete, mostly interested in Gymnastics and later Rock Climbing and Yoga, but really played every sport as a child!  After completing her undergraduate degree from University of Houston she moved to central Houston in 2000 where she has lived ever since. She started her career out in Finance and later shifted to health and wellness as she felt it better suited her personality and caring nature. 

She comes from a family of early settlers of England / Ireland on her dad's side and Hungarian / Romanian immigrants during WWII on mom's side.  

Dr. Florida uses her medical training and her experience  to best help her clients reach their health goals.  She has worked with clients on many complex cases and enjoys helping clients with everyday as well as challenging health conditions.  

Dr. Florida worked in a large practice in central Houston starting in 2012 with two of her graduate professors, where she gained a great amount of expereince and treated tens of thousands, she then began working in her own practice in 2017 so that she could spread her wings and further develop her areas of interest and specialty.

Although she can treat a large array of  over 80 health conditions effectively, she has developed specialties in pain, gut health and emotional health.  She has done 20 years of research in managing emotional health as well as practicing/ studying oriental medicine and functional medicine since 2005.  She is highly knowledgeable and experienced in these areas and is able to offer techniques and coaching in addition to Acupuncture and Functional Medicine that her patients may not be able to find elsewhere.  Many times her patients have felt hopeless or did not know where to turn, or even know what was wrong with them.  Dr. Florida often has those hard to find answers and offers a refreshing approach that can help people reach their health and emotional goals holistically for thel long-term and for an improved quality of life.
