My Story
Sophia L. Ramsijewan A.P, is a licensed Acupuncture Physician in the State of Florida who specializes in multi-faceted treatments and remedies using acupuncture. She uses acupuncture holistically to treat chronic pain and injuries and although she specializes in treating pain, she also treats a wide variety of conditions and ailments.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in health science, and a master’s degree in Traditional Chinese medicine, both of which she acquired from the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine (A.T.O.M.). Through her training and experience at A.T.O.M she gained an understanding of the human body and bridged the gap between western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. She then pursued her acupuncture licensure and is board certified by the State of Florida.
Sophia’s exposure to the healing powers of Alternative Medicine started from a very young age. Her mother had her own practice in South Africa and performed many different types of healing modalities such as Reflexology, Reiki, Aromatherapy Massage, Kinesiology, as well as prescribing Bach Flower Remedies. Seeing firsthand the positive impact her mother had on her patients, inspired Sophia to go down the path of pursuing her path to becoming an Acupuncturist.
Sophia believes in comprehensive treatment and in addition to acupuncture, she uses Tui-Na, Chinese herbal formulas, and dietary recommendations to ensure a complete and progressive treatment. She believes everyone is unique and as such, she treats everyone in a unique manner, geared toward their ailment, body type, and preferences. Her philosophy is to show individuals that there is an alternative way to regain control of their health, by showing her patients the power and positive effect a natural, holistic, and historic method of treatment can have towards their journey of healing.
Acupuncture is a ‘whole-body’ medicine. Any signs or symptoms that present themselves, can be traced to a root cause, and acupuncture is the treatment of this root cause. In the words of Sophia, “Acupuncture is a journey!” Make an appointment today to start your journey to a healthy, well-rounded body!
