Dr. Floyd volunteering in the Dominican Republic
|
Welcome to Floyd Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine based in Sacramento, California. I graduated from Guilford College in North Carolina with a BA in East Asian Studies and a concentration in Mandarin. While in College I studied abroad in Beijing and that is what initially sparked my interest in Chinese Medicine. I knew I had to go back to China and, after I graduated, spent 3 years in China teaching, traveling, and studying Chinese Medicine. While living abroad I received acupuncture and Chinese herbs whenever I was sick. I was so interested in my experience with Chinese medicine I spent my free time in local clinics practicing my Mandarin and shadowing practitioners. After returning, I put the puzzle pieces together and realized Chinese Medicine was my passion, that everything in my past led up to this profession. I enrolled at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego where I graduated magna cum laude with a Masters in Traditional Chinese and Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) and a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM). While in San Diego, I worked at Rady's Children's hospital in the chronic pain and oncology pediatric unit. I also worked at UCSD Cancer Center providing integrative treatment to oncology patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. I have a passion for volunteering and have had the opportunity to work with the underserved populations of San Diego, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. I specialize in women’s reproductive and menstrual health; by using acupuncture, herbs, and necessary lifestyle changes your menses can become regulated, a vital symbol of hormone health and overall wellness. I've helped hundreds of families through their fertility journey, both with natural and assisted reproductive methods, such as IUI and IVF. I'm a firm advocate for an integrated medical future and work with numerous fertility centers in the area, helping support my patients emotionally and physically throughout what can be a demanding fertility journey. As a doctor of acupuncture and herbal medicine, I have created my own Chinese herbal product line Dr. Floyd Rx . I use herbs in conjunction with acupuncture with most of my patients and have found that patients who do both have faster results. Dr. Floyd Rx has a formula for every stage and age of a woman’s journey; from unpleasant or irregular periods, fertility and postpartum, or menopause, there is a formula to help. I also have a wellness herbal line to help ease the stressors of the modern day, with formulas to address sleep, stress, overthinking, irritability, and immunity. Interested in my online herbal shop?

I grew up in a large, extroverted family that prioritizes humor as a malady for all ailments. When I am not working I am outdoors hiking, camping, and exercising. I truly believe physical health and maintenance contributes directly to each person’s mental and spiritual health. I incorporate fitness, dietary, and health regimens into my treatments whenever necessary, providing patients the opportunity for a true lifestyle change. I am the Women's Health and Reproductive Specialist at Better Balance Acupuncture + Wellness in Sacramento, California. Please click here to schedule an appointment.
