Karen is a state licensed and nationally board certified Acupuncture Physician with a full-time general practice located at Cobalt Moon. Her focus is to restore and maintain health in all realms of her patient’s lives. “Through this medicine, I can treat individuals holistically, focusing on all aspects of their body, mind and spirit to achieve the highest potential of health.”
Acupuncture treatment is effective for many acute and chronic conditions on both the physical and emotional levels. Karen’s patients seek treatment for a variety of reasons including pain syndromes, stress disorders, depression and anxiety, sleep disorders, digestive disturbances, migraines, sciatica, menopausal symptoms and more. The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as a beneficial treatment for over 40 common disorders, including those listed above. “It is through my experience as both a patient and practitioner of acupuncture that I can truly attest to the tremendous value and results of acupuncture treatment.”
This highly effective system of medical care is based on natural laws which govern the movement of vital life giving energy—both in nature and in the body. This energy, called qi, moves through the body in precise channels supporting functions of the body, mind and spirit. When qi is in disharmony, imbalance begins to surface in the form of specific symptoms. To address the underlying cause of a condition, these symptoms are viewed in relation to the totality of the person. The gentle insertion of hair thin needles at specific points helps to restore harmony. In the presence of this subtle, yet profound intervention, symptoms often resolve and patients frequently experience renewed vitality.
Karen holds a Master of Acupuncture degree from the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture and a Master of Health Science degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Florida. She is a Diplomate in Acupuncture with the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and is licensed to practice acupuncture by the State of Florida. She is also nationally certified as a Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and a Disability Management Specialist (CDMS). Karen is a member of the Florida State Oriental Medicine Association and the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.
