About Dr. Lara

After spending nine years in the electronic medical record software industry, Larissa decided it was time for a career change to something more meaningful.  A life-long interest in natural remedies and herbal medicine led her to enroll in Chinese herbalism classes, and then acupuncture school.  She graduated from East West College of Natural Medicine in Sarasota, Florida with a Masters in Oriental Medicine, and a B.S. in Professional Health Sciences.  Prior to that, she attended the University of South Florida and obtained a B.A. in Information Systems Management.  Larissa is originally from Denver, Colorado and enjoys spending time with her family, learning about other cultures, traveling, hiking, martial arts, and dance.
