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.
