Lauren Marienski is a licensed and nationally board-certified Acupuncture Physician and herbalist. She was introduced to the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine while interning with an Acupuncture Physician during her undergraduate studies at the University of Tampa. She was fascinated with the approach of this ancient art of healing and its ability to stimulate and promote self-healing within the body. Upon graduating with her Bachelor of Science degree in Allied Health and Occupational Therapy, she went on to graduate summa cum laude with her Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from the Florida College of Integrative Medicine. She has clinical experience studying under doctors directly from China and continues to expand her knowledge, often traveling around the country to learn new techniques from top practitioners in the field.

Lauren is heart motivated to support women through all stages of pregnancy, including the deeply important post-partum period, a crucial window for healing, recovery and emotional adjustment. Her approach is grounded in compassion, honoring the profound transition that takes place as a woman moves into motherhood. In addition to natal care, Lauren brings all the skills of this ancient medicine to care for the wide variety of health challenges that can accompany the human experience.  Lauren focuses on each patient’s story, digging beneath the surface and looking at the larger picture to offer an individualized and gentle approach to every healing journey. Using a blend of ancient and modern practices she seeks to offer a new paradigm towards health.
