Carey was born in Japan and has lived in Panama, Mexico, and the United States. Her eclectic background introduced her to natural medicinal healing and spirit healing at a young age. She is most interested in working with mental health issues such as stress, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, men’s sexual health, fertility acupuncture, oncology support, cosmetic acupuncture and micro-needling. Like many others that are drawn to natural medicine as a career, health issues that arose in her child and herself led her to pursue a career in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine. She supports all modalities of medicine and believes that the most important aspect of healing is what best serves the patient.
Carey is affiliated with two clinics in the St. Louis area and looks forward to helping you on your path to wellness.
