Ancient medicine for a timeless you.
I treat pain, sciatica, anxiety, insomnia, hormonal changes, blood sugar, and many other conditions with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
Every treatment begins with deep listening. Chinese medicine sees the body as an intelligent system that is always moving toward balance.
The first acupuncture visit addresses the whole person: sleep, mood, and energy alongside the main complaint.
I see patients in person in downtown Fort Lauderdale, and I serve a global community through retreats, workshops, writing, and speaking.
Conditions I treat with acupuncture
These are some of the most common concerns I see in practice: pain, anxiety and stress, sleep, hormonal changes, and blood sugar.
Back Pain & Sciatica
Sciatica is the pain I treat most. Acupuncture treats the pain where it starts and everywhere it radiates.

Learn MoreHealing is the gradual return of clarity after confusion. The return of steadiness after fear. The return of vitality after illness. The return of yourself.
I treat patients recovering from trauma, living with chronic illness, going through hormonal transition, and healing after medication injury. Everyone is welcome here.
I help people recover from profound disruptions to the nervous system and return to themselves through integrative medicine, education, and compassionate presence.
Whole-person medicine, rooted and unhurried
Born in Jean-Rabel, Haiti, I spent summers at my grandparents' home in the mountains, surrounded by medicinal plants, fruit trees, and a quality of stillness I would later understand as a parasympathetic paradise. The land shaped me before any training ever could.
I came to the United States at twelve. In 2006, I became an Acupuncture Physician, and I have been treating patients ever since. My practice brings together Traditional Chinese Medicine, trauma-informed contemplative practice, and community healing.
I work from the understanding that the body is designed to heal, and that when healing stalls, something is causing an obstruction. I approach it the way a gardener tends a garden: with patience, consistency, and deep respect for natural timing.
The fullness of your humanity is welcome here.

Inside the Practice
To living fully.
Where there was fracture, repair emerged.Acupuncture care and experiences
I offer acupuncture and clinical care in downtown Fort Lauderdale, and I lead retreats and online programs. I bring the same skill and presence to both.
What I believe about healing
Healing is possible
The body knows how to return to safety when it is met with patience and skill. My work is to help it remember.
The nervous system comes first
When the body feels safe, the deeper work can begin. I tend that ground before anything else.
Ancient medicine, real life
I translate Chinese medicine into language and care that belong to your daily life.
You do not have to leave parts of yourself behind
Your culture, your grief, your history, your questions, and your strengths all belong. The fullness of your humanity is welcome in any space I hold.
Your roots run deeper than the harm.
What my acupuncture patients say
27 Google reviews from acupuncture patients, and counting.
I suffered shoulder pain for over 3 years, visiting different doctors, wasting time and money, yet I was still in pain. Until I started acupuncture treatments with Valencie. Now I am pain free. She is a true healer.
N.C.She takes the time to truly connect with you and identify the root of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms.
S.J.B.As someone with a real fear of needles, I was nervous. She immediately put me at ease. What truly sets her apart is her empathy.
S.D.I have been going to Valencie for over 8 years. Every appointment is like the first time. I have never been disappointed.
K.R.Valencie treated me for strong vertigo and dizziness. She literally saved my life.
J.P.I went for lower back pain. My experience was nothing short of magical. Just being in the space felt healing.
Patient since 2012I struggled with back pain for 6 years. In just 3 short visits I am feeling 10x better. She is excellent at her practice.
B.R.A great healer and a master of her craft. Rapid results and excellent follow up. A great listener who understands your pain.
Patient since March 2012My sessions have been restorative and steadying. I always leave feeling refreshed and more balanced.
C.C.F.Valencie has a wonderfully grounding and positive presence. Her technique is very gentle. I recommend her to anyone in South Florida.

Book an Acupuncture VisitI have come to believe that healing is both a remembering of who you were before illness, trauma, burnout, loss, or fear asked you to forget, and a remembering of who you can become. My work is to help create the conditions in which that remembering becomes possible.
