A Healing Journey

At over 3,000 years old, acupuncture is the longest, continuously, practiced healthcare system on our planet. It's powerful because it delivers results, for many conditions. All licensed acupuncturists are trained in the Chinese style; fewer have Japanese style training, which we offer here. We use the Japanese style because it is gentle and effective. Btw, we also have non-needle options too. Sometimes, we may need to use "lifestyle hacks" which could include exercise, nutrition, and/or stress reduction techniques. Your therapy is tailored to your need.

Ann Belinkoff is an Acupuncture Physician (A.P.) licensed in the State of Florida, which also uses the Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM) title. She began her clinical practice in Boston in 1993, and moved to Vero Beach in 1995 to work alongside Dr. Danny Quaranto. She worked with Dr. Quaranto for two years before opening her solo practice. Along the way, she has been involved in co-creating and leading the educational non-profit Toyo Hari Association FL to advance specific clinical skills. She’s taught yoga for 20 years at various venues, including founding Sunday Yoga at Humiston and Yoga at the Jungle Club. She later taught through the City Recreation Department and at Living Yoga Studio.

Ann is a graduate of the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA), which was the first acupuncture school accredited in the United States. Her passionate “all-in” approach led her to complete three major areas of study in just three years—Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Japanese Meridian Therapy (JMT), and Kiiko Matsumoto Style (KMT)—while also volunteering as a practitioner’s assistant at the YMCA Copley Plaza Aids Acupuncture Clinic in Boston. Upon graduation, her practice focused on providing post-radiation treatment pain relief to breast cancer survivors in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston.

Her post-grad training includes: Herbal Medicine with Ted Kaptchuck, OMD; a clinical rotation in TCM at Guang An Men Hospital, in Beijing, China; Toyohari Korean Hand Therapy; and Zhu's Scalp Acupuncture. Most recently, she has become certified in the ReCODE 2.0 program, a precision brain health approach to prevent and/or reverse cognitive decline.

She has a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Pratt Institute in NYC. Her first job after graduation was at the Ehrenkrantz Group in NYC, where she created presentation drawings for the White House Solar Panel project, as one of the five-person design team. Presently, she enjoys bicycling, the arts, and volunteering with the Pelican Island Audubon Society.
