Acupuncture is based on a comprehensive system of medicine known as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and has been in use in Asia for thousands of years. Acupuncture Physicians stimulate the “acu-points” by inserting very thin needles through the skin to produce physiological effects. Other methods can be used to stimulate acu-points, such as heat or finger-pressure. The general theory of acupuncture is that proper physiological function and health depend on the circulation of nutrients, substances and energy called Qi (pronounced “chee”) through a network of channels or meridians. This network connects every organ of the body, providing balance, regulation and coordination of physiological processes. Pain and ill-health result when the flow of Qi throughout the body is disrupted or blocked by things such as disease, pathogens, trauma/injuries and medication (side effects), as well as lifestyle factors such as overwork, poor diet, lack of rest and stress. Stimulation of the appropriate acu-points through acupuncture treatment helps to restore sufficient, continuous and even flow of Qi and other nutrients throughout the body, thereby restoring health and balance to the body, while relieving pain and other symptoms.

Chinese Medicine

The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia includes hundreds of medicinal substances, which are mostly plants, but also minerals and animal products. Each herb is classified by the action it has within the body. Different parts of the plants such as the leaves, roots, stems, flowers and seeds are used. Each part produces a different effect, particularly when combined with other herbs. Anywhere from two to... Read More

The Chinese herbal pharmacopeia includes hundreds of medicinal substances, which are mostly plants, but also minerals and animal products. Each herb is classified by the action it has within the body. Different parts of the plants such as the leaves, roots, stems, flowers and seeds are used. Each part produces a different effect, particularly when combined with other herbs. Anywhere from two to ten herbs are combined into a formula that is decocted and consumed in the form of a tea. Capsules, tinctures and powders are also used.

Jennifer Lancaster LMT

Jennifer’s deep tissue massage style combines the techniques of traditional Hawaiian lomi lomi with the long, kneading strokes found in Swedish massage. She makes use of hot stones, cupping, reiki and fascia melting when needed to enhance her treatments. Her intuitive and graceful movements are at once therapeutic and intensely relaxing.

“I love my ability to help people feel amazing, relieve painful tissue, reduce stress, and realize how important massage is for wellness.”

A native to Daytona Beach, Jennifer left her corporate job over a decade ago and found her calling in massage and motherhood. Clients love her attention to detail, her authenticity, and her ability to listen and respond to their needs. Family Tree Acupuncture is proud to add such quality and professionalism to our lineup of 5-star services.

Jorge Mejia AP, DOM

Some paths in life look very straight and clear. Others take a more circuitous shape.

Dr. Jorge’s path looks like neither of these.

In fact, his time spent in theater, politics and the restaurant industry don’t naturally make one think of Chinese medicine, but each of these life experiences has contributed hugely to the type of practitioner Jorge is today.

While it’s certain that his study abroad experience in China and his four years of post-graduate study at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco have given him the tools of the trade, it’s his bedside manner and his ability to connect with his patients that make him the practitioner that everyone loves at Family Tree.

> My goal is to lead by example. I’m constantly working on slowing down and aligning myself with the flow of nature.

His unique internship experiences in San Francisco combined with over 16 years of clinical practice have given him expertise in the areas of internal medicine, stress management, chronic and acute musculoskeletal pain, and autoimmune/inflammatory diseases.

He’s pretty much a jack of all trades.

> My goal as a practitioner is to empower patients to take control of their health, and to listen and trust their body.

As devoted as he is to his patients and the practice of Chinese medicine, he balances his work with family time, travel, surfing, and playing the guitar. A lover of all languages, landscapes, foods and cultures, his lifestyle emulates the principles of Chinese medicine. He doesn’t just talk the talk. He walks the walk…a natural born healer, through and through.

Maggie Mejia AP, DOM

My passion for Chinese medicine is rooted in my personal experience with acupuncture beginning in my early 20s. As a former chronic allergy sufferer, frequent cold-catcher and the poster child for gastrointestinal upset (I grew up in a Dairy Queen), acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and Chinese medicine lifestyle doctrines changed my health and, subsequently, my life.

I am a lifelong student with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Florida, a Master of Science in Art Therapy from The George Washington University in Washington DC, and a Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from one of the most prestigious training programs for Chinese medicine in the country: The American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, CA. Although my formal education is beyond value (my student loans might suggest otherwise), my internships and mentorships in the field of Chinese medicine have helped hone my skills and distinguish me as a practitioner: most notably, my three-year internship with Dr. Robert Johns, O.M.D. in Berkeley, CA. Dr. Johns is a classically trained Chinese Medicine practitioner with over 40 years of experience rooted in his own apprenticeships with Chinese medicine masters.

My understanding of and appreciation for the integration of western and eastern medicine comes from my internship at the California Pacific Medical Center’s Stroke and Rehabilitation unit in 2010. I have a love for community-style medicine and giving back to the community, which was fostered during my time spent interning at the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco in 2011.

I truly love what I do, and I credit my health and my state of mind to my experience as a patient of Chinese medicine. When we have our health, we are primed to enjoy and participate in life in the ways that are meaningful to us. When we honor the ways in which we are meant to serve and shine, the world is a better place. In other words, better health, better world: that’s why I practice this medicine.

Andres Nemeth

How does one go from being an Air Traffic Controller in the US Air Force to being an Acupuncture Physician at Family Tree Acupuncture?

Consider this job description: Responsible for the safe and expeditious movement of civilian and military aircraft during Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Now consider this: Responsible for the safe and expeditious movement of qi and blood throughout the meridians (or energy pathways) during Operation Restore Balance.

It makes sense, right?

Ever since he can remember, Andres has been fascinated by physics and energy…also known as quantum physics.

> Everything in the Universe is energy expressed in different shapes and forms. We are beings of energy, radiating our unique signature. This is what quantum physics has shown us time and time again. We are much more than what we perceive ourselves to be.

After serving in the US Air Force, Andres redirected his energy towards the coordination of air ambulance transport operations, and then eventually towards the study of Chinese medicine. He is a graduate of the prestigious Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine, and holds his national board certification through NCCAOM.

> For me, redirecting and restoring energy flow is the science of the Divine. This is the reason why I chose to become an acupuncturist and an herbal medicine practitioner. I find wonder and delight with every patient as I observe how removing energy blocks allows the body to heal without any other external interventions.
