History
Functional Physician. While training for an endurance triathlon in 2010, Sandy Ziya started experiencing repetitive stress to her hamstring. After accepting the offer to try acupuncture from her chiropractor, she was able to finish her training and ultimately her race. As a coach she shared the strategy of acupuncture for many ailments and recovery to her athletes; and they, too, improved! This experience inspired her to become more than just a coach, and after learning that one of the best US schools for acupuncture, the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine, was located in Fort Lauderdale, Sandy Ziya applied and earned her degree. This added acupuncture, cupping, injectables, Chinese herbals, CBD and sports injury management to her repertoire. As a licensed Functional Physician and Personal Trainer, she offers a unique suite of services to anyone who may be experiencing pain during their fitness journey or who simply wants an alternative way of living a better, more healthy life.
