Carey opened Griffin Acupuncture in 2021, and has currently expanded her practice to Central America where she will be hosting healing retreats amongst other exciting business ventures. Carey was born in Japan and has lived in Panama, India, Mexico, and the United States. Her eclectic background introduced her to natural medicinal healing and spirit healing at a young age. Carey supports all modalities of medicine and believes that “The most important aspect of healing is supporting what best serves the patient in their current circumstance and current belief system. Our minds are constantly evolving and expanding regarding our acceptance of physical and spiritual repair through alternative and allopathic medicine. The world is vast, and we all get to choose how we allow ourselves to heal.”

For almost two decades Carey has also been involved in allopathic medicine and education, working as an allied health college Professor, Director of Education, and Campus Director. Most recently she worked for Barnes Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Community College in St. Louis, MO. Carey is affiliated with two clinics in St. Louis, MO, and affiliations in Panama and India.
