Digestive & Emotional Health Specialist in Houston, TX

---

Dr. Florida, a seasoned Houston Acupuncturist, has been practicing as a licensed professional since 2014. Her extensive clinical experience and deep expertise in the field have enabled her to help tens of thousands of individuals achieve their health goals naturally. These goals include managing chronic pain, improving mental health, and enhancing overall wellness. Her passion for health and wellness led her to pursue a master's degree in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine, which she later complemented with a PhD in Emotional Mindset Health. Her journey began in the insurance and banking industry, where she spent 12 years assisting people with health, life, and disability insurance. However, her growing interest in wellness, which she had been studying on the side for her benefit, eventually led her to establish her private practice, where she now specializes. 

Before starting her practice, she worked with weMED Wellness in central Houston for 7 years.   I have known Dr. Bing You and Tao Ma since 2006, when I was a graduate student under their instruction in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine. In 2012, I began working with them at their clinic in patient outreach and education. Upon becoming 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 its 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 my practice method remained unchanged, the overall practice underwent significant changes, and I was required to adapt my approach accordingly, a testament to my ability to handle change. In light of that, in 2019, I decided to launch my practice in a new location, 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.  

Since 1990, Houston has been our home, a city that has been an integral part of our diverse family's journey. Our family's corporate ties have led us to traverse multiple states and even overseas, a testament to our adaptability and resilience.   

As a 3rd & 5th Generation American from Colorado, she has a rich family history. Her father's side, with Western European roots, immigrated to Tennessee in the 1700s, fleeing oppression and famine in Europe.  Her mother's side, with Eastern European roots, fled European oppression post WWII in 1950, leaving behind everything they owned and starting over in New York with 50 cents. These stories of resilience and adaptability have deeply influenced her values and interests.

Her faith, rooted in light and God, guides her in her journey of helping others. She is a proud mother of two, born ten years apart, a testament to her dedication and love. Her marriage and family of four bring her immense joy, and she is deeply passionate about extending her help within her areas of expertise, a passion that fuels her every day.  *144
