Global Expertise Rooted in Experience
Dr. Andrea has completed advanced training in acupuncture, neuroacupuncture, and Chinese Medicine—studying across the U.S., China, and internationally to stay at the forefront of integrative care.
Blending Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science
Her approach is precise, personalized, and compassionate. She combines traditional techniques with modern innovations like electroacupuncture, neuromodulation, and frequency-based therapy to treat chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, GI issues, fertility challenges, and nervous system conditions at the root.
"While completing my Pre-Med studies at the University of Florida, I began exploring different approaches to health. That’s when I discovered Chinese Medicine—and personally experienced its effectiveness in treating my own digestive issues.
From my very first treatment, I knew I had found what I’d been looking for: a natural, holistic way to truly help people.
Chinese Medicine has been a blessing in my life. It allows me to share my passion and be part of the powerful transformations our patients experience. I’m deeply grateful for their trust and for the opportunity to do what I love every day.
TCM isn’t just my work—it’s my lifestyle, and the way I care for my own family. My mission is to help our community thrive and heal naturally through this time-honored medicine"

BSAE; BSME
With a background in aerospace and mechanical engineering, Maria spent over a decade designing space payloads, aircraft defense systems and secure communication technologies for government and defense.
Her groundbreaking work earned her multiple technology innovation awards and the title of Best Woman Engineer on the Space Coast.
A lifelong Chinese medicine patient, Maria now brings that same precision and innovation to healing. She personally researches and vets every modern therapy used at Bodhi TCM, ensuring that each one is backed by evidence, rooted in science, and delivers real results.
Specializing in the therapeutic use of technology and frequencies, she bridges the gap between modern science and Traditional Chinese Medicine to support long-term wellness, vitality, and natural healing.
"My journey with Chinese Medicine started when I was 10 years old, and its impact on my life has been undeniable, helping with allergies, migraines, women's health and now focusing on longevity.
It also played a vital role in my mother’s cancer journey, and that’s why every patient and family who comes to Bodhi is deeply important to me.
After achieving all my career goals as an aerospace engineer, I made the decision to shift my focus toward something truly meaningful—helping others experience the life changing benefits of this medicine.
At Bodhi TCM, we integrate modern science with ancient wisdom to ensure every treatment is precise, effective, and designed to help our community heal naturally."
