Dr. Rachelle Smith
Certified Acupuncture Physician and Clinical Nutritionist 
Active Living Health Center



Dr. M. Rachelle Smith, AP graduated from the Florida College of Integrative Medicine and is a board certified Acupuncture Physician and Clinical Nutritionist in the state of Florida. During her years at FCIM, she had the great opportunity to work with many different Acupuncture Physicians and their specialties. Her skills are a culmination of all the different skills she gained from her mentors including Dr. Tan’s balancing method, Master Tang’s pain protocol, Dr. Yang’s ear acupuncture, and modern pulse examination. Her continuing thirst for knowledge keeps her up to date with the latest and greatest techniques in Alternative Medicine. Currently, she is undergoing training to obtain her ABORM (America Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine) certification so that she may better serve the needs of a growing number of women suffering from infertility.
 
Shortly after graduation, she spent a summer in China studying with some of the top Oriental Medicine Physicians at Chengdu Medical Center, an integrated Eastern/Western Hospital. She also had the privilege of studying with Shaman in Peru as part of her undergraduate work with an emphasis on Medical Botany.
 
In 2008 Dr. Smith participated in an internship with Native Health Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to mending health disparities in Native American groups throughout the United States. She worked alongside multiple Native American groups in North and South Carolina, focusing on obesity and diabetes prevention.
 
Dr. Smith has treated a variety of ailments including pain, gastrointestinal issues, women's gynecological issues, pediatrics, addiction/weight loss, anxiety/depression, and colds/infections. She believes that helping her patients not only means treating their ailments and illnesses, but also educating them on proper nutrition and lifestyle to empower their lives and help them take control of their health.
 
When she is not treating patients, Dr. Smith enjoys spending time with her family, taking their bulldog for walks, and playing cello in a local band.
