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, Felipe discovered his own power of self-care as assisted by the effective tools of acupuncture, massage and Tai Chi. Through this transformational healing, 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, 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 Felipe is here for; to help connect all elements of your health, and guide you along your path to feeling good.
