Meet Dr. Deanna Carell
My introduction to acupuncture began in my early 20s when I sought alternative treatments for my anxiety. After being prescribed medication and discovering its potential side effects, I realized I needed a better path. A recommendation led me to explore acupuncture, and I quickly became fascinated by its holistic benefits.
After graduating from business school, I landed a job in publishing, but deep down, I knew my true passion lay in natural healing. I researched the requirements for acupuncture school and decided to enroll that next fall. Since then, I’ve never looked back.
I was amazed to discover that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a complete medical system with modalities such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrition therapy as alternatives to prescription drugs. As I began practicing, I treated a variety of conditions, including neck and back pain, migraines, anxiety, and women’s health issues. Over time, I developed a particular passion for women’s health, focusing on areas such as hormone regulation, menstrual health, and fertility support.
I gained recognition in my community, especially for my work with fertility and pregnancy, thanks to referrals from local OB-GYNs who witnessed the positive results my patients experienced. I wanted my acupuncture practice to be a safe space for women to share their stories, discuss their feelings, and receive supportive care that complements their Western medical treatments. I strive to offer a holistic approach, addressing concerns often overlooked in traditional medicine.
In recent years, I have developed a strong interest in cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling. With societal pressures on women’s appearance continuing to grow, I felt it was essential to provide natural alternatives to invasive treatments like Botox and fillers. My approach integrates cosmetic acupuncture with microneedling, focusing on internal balance to create lasting external change. By considering the whole person, I aim to empower my clients to enhance their natural beauty while prioritizing their overall well-being.
Who I Am
Being an acupuncture physician is a core part of my identity. I genuinely love what I do and strive to incorporate holistic practices into my own life. When I’m not seeing patients or focusing on my practice, you’ll find me reading, cooking, baking sourdough, or practicing yoga. I often joke that I’m in my “grandma era,” cherishing quiet weekends spent with friends, enjoying the beach, or lounging by the pool.
Since moving to Florida, I’ve found immense joy and excitement in this vibrant community. The warmth and inclusiveness of Naples inspire me daily. I admire the active and engaged members of this community, especially my older patients who remind me that growing older is a beautiful journey. By nurturing our bodies, minds, and spirits, we can achieve anything we set our hearts on.
