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!

I was born and raised here in Bradenton, and it’s such a gift to be able to bring this medicine to the community I love. My passion is helping people find balance, relief, and a deeper connection to their own health. I believe in meeting each patient where they are, offering compassionate care, and creating a safe space for healing.

This medicine has been life-changing for me, and I feel grateful every day to be able to share it with others. I’m excited to walk alongside you in your journey, whether that’s easing pain, supporting your energy, or simply giving you space to feel cared for. Thank you for trusting me — I’m honored to be part of your healing process.

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!
