Afua Bromley, L.Ac.

Afua Bromley, L.Ac. received her Master's degree in Oriental Medicine and clinical training at the National College of Oriental Medicine (now the Florida College of Integrative Medicine) in Orlando, Florida. She completed an additional clinical internship at Yu Huang Ding Hospital in Yantai, China, during the summer of 1998. She is licensed in Missouri and is NCCAOM certified.

Afua is President-elect of the Acupuncture Association of Missouri. She also serves on the Acupuncture Advisor Committee of Missouri.

Afua Bromley currently practices Traditional Chinese Medicine at YogaDoc in Kirkwood, Missouri, and CHIPS (Community Health In Partnerships) clinic in north St. Louis, Missouri. Her practice encompasses acupuncture, tuina (traditional Chinese massage), herbal therapy, and lifestyle and nutritional counseling. Specialties include women's health issues, HIV, sports injuries, pain management, and pediatric massage. She has written numerous articles on holistic health issues in a number of publications.

Afua's practice approaches health and healing as a partnership venture. Healing is brought about not only through therapy (acupuncture, herbs, etc.), but also through empowering patients with the knowledge and understanding of how to obtain and maintain good health. Treatment encompasses the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - in order to address the roots of disease.

In addition to her practices in the St. Louis area, Ms. Bromley is building a non-profit clinic in Ghana, West Africa.
