After 10 years in the corporate world, Federica knows firsthand how chronic stress and constant demands can quietly disconnect us from our own bodies. That lived experience now shapes every part of her practice at Beyond Acupuncture Clinic. She brings calm attention and genuine clinical skill to every person she works with, listening closely to your concerns and partnering with you to address what matters most—whether that’s finding lasting relief from pain, restoring pelvic floor comfort and function. In her care, you’ll experience thoughtful, effective support designed around your individual needs. She is specialized in a few areas including;
Pain Management
Federica provides effective, integrative clinical approaches to musculoskeletal pain and chronic conditions, carefully helping release what holds you back so you can safely return to the activities you love most.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Federica offers specialized, restorative care for pelvic floor dysfunction, using gentle acupuncture, targeted techniques, and individualized protocols to restore comfort, function, strength, and confidence in these often sensitive areas. Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) occurs when muscles in the pelvis are weak, tight or uncoordinated leading to symptoms like incontinence, incomplete bladder emptying, chronic pelvic pain, constipation, pain during intercourse and lower back or pelvic pain and pressure. Common causes and key factors include traumatic injury, pregnancy and childbirth, aging, high- impact activity or heavy lifting.
Chinese Herbs
Rooted in the traditions of Oriental Medicine, Federica draws upon her training in the Jing Fang classical tradition under Prof. Huang Huang lineage. She integrates traditional and modified, pattern-based Chinese herbal formulas when appropriate to provide deep internal nourishment and support the body’s natural dynamic balance alongside her acupuncture treatments.
Outside the clinic, Federica continues her dedicated studies in acupuncture, always deepening her knowledge. She finds true restoration and quiet joy in the outdoors, where her love for all things in nature nourishes her spirit and gently reminds her of the body’s innate dynamic and rhythms.
