Hello
My name is Daylin and I like cats and acupuncture. My mission is to create a healing space where all bodies feel safe and welcome just as they are. Informed by my own personal experiences, I have a special interest in treating gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune conditions, fertility and women's health, and the more challenging emotional-spiritual states of being human. I very much look forward to working with you. ♥️
Warmly,
Daylin Shelley, DAHM, AP, Dipl. OM
About
Daylin is a South Florida native who loves to cook (and eat) real food, nerd out about acupuncture, and occasionally paint and knit. She is a graduate of Bastyr University in Seattle, WA, with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Culinary Arts (2014), a Master of Oriental Medicine from the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, FL (2024), and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts in Asheville, NC (2025). She believes that food is medicine and that dis-ease is rooted in spirit, just as the ancient healers of the East and West have stated long, long ago...
"All diseases are rooted in spirit." Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot), chapter 8, between the 2nd & 1st centuries BCE
"All disease begins in the gut." Hippocrates, 460-370 BCE
Her own journey with Crohn’s disease inspired her commitment to helping others restore balance through food, lifestyle, and acupuncture. Over time, she developed a special passion for supporting women’s health and fertility, guiding patients through every stage of their reproductive journey with care and compassion. She is also a certified Sivananda yoga and yoga nidra instructor, bringing a deep mind-body awareness into her work. Daylin is dedicated to empowering her patients with individualized, heart-centered care and believes acupuncture has the power to transform lives.
Daylin deeply believes in the power of community and the social importance of making this incredible medicine accessible to everyone. Acupuncture has the power to change lives and should be available to everyone, especially as the conventional medical system becomes more and more challenging to navigate. (For more on the topic of acupuncture as a form of social justice and the community acupuncture movement, please read "Acupuncture is Like Noodles", by Lisa Rohleder et. al.)
Having spent 23 years in the restaurant industry, Daylin has a deep desire to offer support and healing to the servers, bartenders, chefs, line cooks, bar-backs, managers, hosts, bussers, kitchen staff, and all of those who serve in the industry by offering an In the Biz discount to encourage them to take care of their bodies and minds.
