I did continue to study scientific based acupuncture and medical western science and in 1999, completed a 1-year postgraduate certification in Dr. Yoshio Manaka Protocols in Australia from Physicians who taught the Evidence-based style Acupuncture (from Japan) course at Harvard Medical University in Boston, U.S.A.

My clinical practice started with an internship at the Mater Private Hospital in the Palliative Care unit, then went on to head the Alternative Therapies division for Queensland Positive People outreach center for the Australian Aids Council, then I moved to Griffith, New South Wales where I joined primary care practice and within a few years also began teaching Acupuncture at the University of Technology in Sydney, New South Wales Australia.

In 2005, I went to China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia for five years to train local therapists in modern clinical practices of acupuncture and health care. During this time, I researched further into the cultural bias and esoteric myths that are still incorporated in the education and practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine around the world and in the US today.

With ambitions to continue traveling, I began practicing acupuncture on cruise ships in Europe, North America, and the Caribbean, which eventually lead me to establish a residency in the United States in 2013, were I completed a Bachelor of Professional Health Sciences and a Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine at Florida College of Integrated Medicine.

I am currently on the Faculty of The American School of Natural Health and recently relocated to Clermont, Florida where I offer scientific acupuncture integrated with traditional wisdom and care, I invite you to experience the difference.
