Experience. Compassion.
Personalized Care.
Machelle Perkins, AP, Dipl. Ac.
For more than 25 years, she has provided personalized acupuncture and integrative care to patients throughout the Tampa Bay community
Her approach begins with something simple: taking the time to listen, understand each patient's needs and determine which therapies may be applicable.

Traditional Knowledge. Modern Tools.
One Individual at a Time.
No two patients arrive with exactly the same history, concerns or goals.
At NaturalMED Therapies, care begins with understanding the individual
rather than following a predetermined treatment.
Her approach draws on more than 25 years of clinical experience and
training in acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, naturopathy,
homeopathy, nutrition and other integrative disciplines. Depending on
individual needs, traditional methods may be complemented by modern
therapeutic technologies and diagnostic tools.
Just as importantly, appointments allow time to listen, ask questions
and understand how health concerns affect everyday life. Care can then
evolve according to individual needs and response.
Understand the whole picture
Health history, current concerns and personal goals help guide the conversation.
Choose what fits the individual
Care is selected from appropriate approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Respond as needs change
The approach can evolve according to comfort, progress and response to care.
