Doctor Felipe's Philosophy
Doctor Felipe believes that feeling good is for everyone, and that we each have incredible powers to self-heal. As a young athlete, sustaining a series of potentially life-altering injuries, Doctor Felipe discovered his own power of self-care as assisted by the effective tools of acupuncture, massage and Tai Chi. Through this transformational healing, Doctor Felipe transitioned from being a professional mechanical engineer to dedicating his life to helping others through oriental medicine.
​
All things are connected: our minds, our bodies, our intentions, our planet.
​
With so many tools in the healthcare toolbox, Doctor Felipe is confident that each individual has their own special path to health and feeling good - you just need to find it and commit to it. That is what Doctor Felipe is here for; to help connect all elements of your health, and guide you along your path to feeling good.
