Dr. Rachel Kaiser, DAcOM, LAc, Dipl. OM (NCCAOM)-Founder
Dr. Rachel Kaiser is an authority figure in the field of acupuncture, especially when it comes to chronic and acute pain. With more than 20 years of clinical experience, she has specialized training in chronic and acute pain, hypoparathyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, digestive issues, kidney issues, and generalized anxiety disorders. She is an NCCAOM Board Certified Acupuncturist and Herbalist. She received a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAcOM) from the AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine in Austin, Texas. She is a licensed acupuncturist in Florida.
Dr. Kaiser also is a Registered Nurse. She has worked in various nursing fields including psychiatry, home health, and primary care. Her desire to become an acupuncturist was born from her personal struggles with career-related stress and sleep deprivation. She tried various ways to improve her stress and sleep problems—with no improvement until she tried acupuncture. After her first acupuncture treatment, she decided to change her career—because she felt calmer and slept better! Dr. Kaiser has committed her combined acupuncture and nursing career to ensuring that her patients get better!
