I’m Trinity—a 9th semester intern currently completing my clinical training toward a Master’s degree in Oriental Medicine at Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine.

Outside of the treatment room, I’m deeply movement-focused. I love skydiving, bungee jumping, rock climbing and rappelling, snorkeling, dancing, working out, and pushing my body to its limits. Movement, challenge, and fully experiencing life matter deeply to me—and that lived experience shapes how I approach healing.

My work in Traditional Chinese Medicine is focused on helping the body balance, recover, and support itself, so it can keep up with the life you want to live. I offer acupuncture along with supportive therapies including cupping, gua sha, tui na, herbal therapy, and certified injection therapy, tailoring treatments to support recovery, stress regulation, sleep, hormones, and overall resilience. My goal is to help your body feel strong, capable, and supported—so it becomes an ally rather than a limitation in pursuing your dreams.

Hi! I’m Kelsey! I am a 7th semester student here at Dragon Rises. I am originally from Georgia and now happily calling St. Petersburg, Florida home. I’m passionate about helping people feel better in their bodies and helping find that mind/ body connection to create peace and ease in their lives. I take a thoughtful, compassionate approach to care and believe healing happens best when patients feel heard, supported, and comfortable.

I love combining the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a calm, spiritual, and grounded treatment style to help patients relax, reset, and heal.

Hello! My name is Steph and I am so excited to be a part of your healing journey! I fell in love with Eastern Medicine Practices when I learned the approach is proactive, natural, and with minimal side effects, as compared to Western Medicine. I use organic methods to address root causes of common ailments rather than simply manage your symptoms. Beyond my Traditional Chinese Medicine training, some of my qualifications within the healing arts are:

• 500-hour Registered Yoga/Meditation Teacher
• Trauma Informed Practitioner
• Licensed Massage Therapist
• Reiki Master

As a holistic health practitioner, I address wellbeing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. I use my diverse background to inform you as much as possible as we work together to determine which of the many resources in my toolkit will best serve you. You are a huge part of your healing journey, so I believe in us working together as a team. I look forward to helping guide you towards your healthiest and happiest self!

Hi! I’m Kevin & are you ready for nature-focused Oriental Medicine? I love the study of acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. My approach is one of integrating as much ‘nature’ into treatment approaches as possible, staying true to Traditional and Historic Chinese Medicine diagnosis and treatment. Plants and herbs are one of my favorites and I grow many medicinals. You can often find me out in Florida’s natural areas studying ethnobotanically significant plants, or designing Sound Baths from field recordings. I intern at Dr. Bob Linde’s Traditions in St. Pete and at the Dragon Rises Bradenton Clinic as well as Bridge Acupuncture in Largo. Come see me if you are interested in weaving Five Elements, Herbs and all things nature into TCM practice. See you soon, Kevin!
