Dr. Florida, Houston Acupuncturist has professional clinical experience since 2011.  She has helped tens of thousands reach their  health goals naturally.   She found that she had a passion for health and wellness and pursued her masters degree in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine and completed that with her PhD in Emotional Mind-set Health.   started out working in the Insurance and banking industry for 12 years helping people with health, life and disability insurance prior to shifting into the health and wellness industry.   She had been studying wellness on the side for her own benefit, which culminated into what is now her private practice and area of expertise. 

Before starting her own practice she worked with weMED Wellness in central Houston for 7 years.   I have known Dr Bing You and Tao Ma since 2006 in graduate school as my professors of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. In 2012 I began working with them at their clinic in patient outreach and education. When I became licensed, I became a Licensed Acupuncturist with weMED gaining valuable clinical experience. I helped them grow the practice significantly during my time there. In 2018 weMED changed their business and practice model from a traditional Acupuncture and wellness approach, to a focus on large scale regenerative medicine and chronic disease management programs. While the way I practiced did not change, there were significant changes to the way the overall pracrtice operated and I was required to practice. In light of that, in 2019 I decided to launch my own practice, so I could continue to practice the way I was accustomed to since 2014, and continue to provide the traditional Acupuncture and wellness that my clients prefer and expect. 

She has lived in Houston since 1990 and comes from a family that moved to multiple states and overseas due to her father's corporate job.   

Her faith and practice are based on light and God. She has two children ten years apart, one while she was in graduate school and the other during the pandemic.  She is happily married with a family of four and is passionate about helping others with within her areas of experience. Her mother's side is Hungarian / Romanian and father's side is a blend of Western European.  

Her interests include being a gymnast when she was younger and a rock climber, yoga, professional latin dancing,  wellness, travel, music, arts, culture and reading, especially in relations to her field of expertise. She values zen daily life and bringing calm to herself, her family and patients.
