Hi,
I’m Tennyson Towl the acupuncturist.
I am a Florida Licensed Acupuncture Physician, (AP4164) and Nationally Board Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in St. Petersburg, FL. I have 17+ years of clinical experience as an acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese Medicine. I am also professionally trained in massage therapy with 25+ years experience in therapeutic massage and bodywork. I have specialties in massage styles from the East, in both Thai Yoga Massage and Chavutti Thirumal (massage by foot pressure) from South India.
My acupuncture treatments have a comforting intuitive quality because of the two decades of accumulated wisdom in my hands from practicing therapeutic massage. My massage sessions are infused with meaningful strokes guided by Chinese medical wisdom and grounded by my mindfulness meditation practice. The ultimate treatment goal for any client I have the privilege to treat, is to impart insight and meaningful knowledge to you in each session, in order to help you restore and maintain full autonomy to your state of health and wellbeing. I want to give you a value-rich session each time you come and have you part with the tools you need to cultivate the optimal version of yourself—body, mind and spirit. Regardless of which modality we use, I am committed to giving you the care you deserve and the tools you need to become that which is innately, already true. I invite you to explore my professional credentials below.
