About Erica Sanes, AP
Erica Sanes is a licensed Acupuncture Physician who lives and works in South Florida.
She holds a master's degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine, in addition to a bachelor’s degree in Health Science, both obtained from South Florida’s foremost Traditional Chinese Medicine facility, the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine. She also possesses a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL.
During her time at Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine, Erica learned to find a balanced approach between Eastern and Western medicinal principles and fine-tuned her skills with respect to addiction, dermatology, internal disease, food therapy, herbal medicine, sports medicine, injection therapy and women’s health.
Throughout her schooling, Erica was mentored by Dr. He Chong, a specialist in classical meridian theory and microsystem acupuncture, which lends itself to her specialization in meridian theory acupuncture.
Upon receiving licensure, Erica continued her studies with several renowned industry experts. She began with Whitfield Reaves, L.Ac., OMD, published author, and sports medicine specialist. Soon after, she studied and assisted Michelle Gellis, L.Ac., leading acupuncturist in the field of facial rejuvenation and neuromuscular facial conditions (e.g. strokes, Multiple Sclerosis, Bell's Palsy).
After the unfortunate passing of Dr. Richard Tan, Master of the Balance Method, Erica continued her studies with his apprentice of 20 years, Eileen Han (L.Ac.) and the Si Yuan Balance team whose mission is to carry on the Balance Method teachings as per his final request.
Erica bolstered her classical training with internationally renowned experts in both sound and color therapy upon experiencing the array of benefits firsthand. In recent years, she has traveled the world; from Switzerland with Tama-do to learn the power of sound and color, to San Diego and Miami with Feeltones USA to uncover the secrets of the monochord, in addition to Canada with Julianne Bien where she earned her Spectrahue Specialist designation.
Erica Sanes views the body, the mind, and the spirit as a whole. Her mantra maintains that symptoms are manifestations of disease, and it is only by ascertaining the root cause of the imbalance that total health and balance can be restored.
