May our communities and each one of us be filled with patience,
compassion, kindness and service to one another.

Man is small looking at the Universe My friends up north are getting an ear-full as I talk about our lovely winter temperature and evening swims under the moon and stars. Looking up at our night sky I believe anything is possible!   I am truly enjoying being part of Punta Gorda’s vibrant and friendly community.  On February 24, wellBeing Acupuncture held its Grand Opening Celebration. My purpose is to create a place in our community, where people have the opportunity to learn and experience health and wellness on a body, mind and spirit level.  As an Acupuncturist, I understand how uniquely created we all are.  Each treatment is designed specifically for each person. The wisdom of Acupuncture as a healing art and science, teaches us to care for ourselves. Wellness is a daily practice.
