ABOUT DR. ANA TORIELLO
Your Partner in Natural Healing in Fort Lauderdale
​DR. ANA TORIELLO, A.P., D.O.M.
Welcome! I'm Dr. Ana Toriello, a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist based in beautiful Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My passion is to help you achieve lasting wellness through natural, time-tested methods, offering a personalized and holistic approach to healing that supports your body, mind, and spirit.
With a deep foundation in traditional Chinese medicine and years of hands-on clinical experience, I am a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM)® and hold a Master of Acupuncture & Chinese Herbology. Beyond my credentials, I've seen firsthand how acupuncture and herbal medicine can transform lives—including my own—which is why I am so dedicated to sharing this work with others.
Whether you're facing chronic pain, stress, fertility challenges, mental health struggles, or simply seeking greater balance in your life, I am here to guide you with empathy, knowledge, and the belief that true healing is always possible.
My Journey to Natural Healing
My path to acupuncture began with a personal struggle. After moving from Guatemala to attend the University of Florida, I faced the challenges of Generalized Anxiety Disorder and mild depression. While conventional Western treatments offered some relief, it was acupuncture that truly illuminated my path to wellness. It not only alleviated my symptoms but also profoundly improved my energy, sleep, and hormonal balance, revealing a holistic approach to healing I hadn't known before.
​
This belief was further solidified when my beloved Chihuahua, Taquito, found incredible relief from debilitating seizures through veterinary acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, reducing his episodes from monthly to yearly. These profound experiences—both my own and Taquito's—inspired me to dedicate my life to this ancient healing art.
​
After receiving my bachelor’s in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology from the University of Florida, I earned my Master's from the esteemed Academy for Five Element Acupuncture, where I underwent rigorous training in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and adjunctive therapies, and achieved the highest national certification, the Diplomate of Oriental Medicine. I've been in private practice since April 2013 and proudly serving the Fort Lauderdale community since 2015. My personal journey allows me to approach your health with a unique blend of empathy, understanding, and clinical expertise.
