Brenda Bonilla Smith
Brenda Bonilla Smith is a native New Yorker whose love for natural medicine comes from her roots in her Dominican heritage. Although she began her journey as an esthetician and massage therapist, working with highly stressed women in her day spa led her to delve deeper into natural medicine. She was introduced to acupuncture, which was the seamless next step she sought. She attended Yo San University in Santa Monica, CA, where she received her Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2000 and served the San Gabriel Valley through her practice in Pasadena, CA, since 2001. Today, she brings her experience and education commitment to the Atlanta area. Based on her 20+ years of clinical experience, she believes that the body is the best healer, given the tools to do it, and that natural medicine is the key to stopping, correcting, and reversing our current epidemic of preventable chronic diseases.
Brenda has spent most of her postgraduate education studying the effects of physical and emotional stress on overall health. She uses acupuncture, nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle counseling to assist her patients along their healing journey. In addition to practicing an ancient medical system, she also uses cutting-edge modalities, such as NASA-researched technology, in her practice to enhance and accelerate clinical results.
She specializes in Women’s Health, Stress Management, Vitality Restoration, and Rejuvenation Esthetics.
