Hi,
I’m Tennyson Towl the acupuncturist.
I am a Florida Licensed Acupuncture Physician and Nationally Board Certified Diplomate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in St. Petersburg, FL. I have 19+ years of clinical experience as an acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese Medicine. I am also professionally trained in massage therapy with 29+ years experience in therapeutic massage and bodywork. My 30 year career in the healing arts stems from a natural inclination toward the profound basics of maintaining a strong sense of health and wellbeing. My life and by extension my practice and treatment approach, is based on accessible daily habits that once established do not require any additional effort. I wish the same for everyone and that is what motivates me for each client I work with.
Your acupuncture treatments with me will always have a comforting intuitive quality because of the three decades of accumulated wisdom translated into my treatment style. Each session is guided by well established Chinese medical wisdom combined with a modern approach to assessement and evaluation. 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.
