Dr. Pidone’s clinical experience includes women's health, mental and emotional health, pain relief, and holistic facial rejuvenation. Her mission is to provide you the support you need to activate your personal healing blueprint and flourish in body, mind, and spirit.
She originally started acupuncture to address severe hormonal acne and migraines, and with time and consistency her skin cleared up and the migraines became less frequent! She then witnessed her sister's health struggle in the hands of Western medicine without the support of holistic care. Dr. Pidone was immediately drawn to embark on a deeper path into holistic and natural health care so that she could better support others through their healing.
She began her journey with alternative medicine in 2013 when she pursued an education in massage therapy at the Hawaii School of Professional Massage. From there, she began her studies in Chinese medicine at the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Denver. She went on to complete both her Masters and her Doctorate in Chinese Medicine at the Pacific College of Health & Science in San Diego. She now owns and runs Flourish Acupuncture clinic here in San Diego.
Flourish Acupuncture & Wellness was inspired by God's promise for us to thrive and prosper. Dr. Pidone brings her faith and steadfastness into every session. Over the yeas, she has witnessed the fruitfulness of Chinese medicine within herself and her clients.
Dr. Pidone firmly believes in God's perfect design which is the innate healing power of the human body. She affirms that anyone’s health can be reclaimed through intentional and dedicated care. She takes a holistic approach with every client to address their root cause of dis-ease and curates individualized wellness plans so that every one can reach their highest health potential.
In her free time, Dr. Pidone enjoys spending time with her husband and their golden retriever, hiking, baking, reading, quality time with family & friends, and volunteering at her church.
