Carly Barnes is a student practitioner of acupuncture and East Asian medicine at Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine in Bradenton, completing her clinical externship under the supervision of Dr. Giselle Foss.

Her clinical interests include chronic pain and stress, metabolic and hormone health, and inflammatory and autoimmune conditions — the kind of concerns that rarely have a single cause and respond best to the layered, whole-body care this practice is built around.

Working alongside Dr. Foss, Carly’s aim is for patients to feel unhurried and genuinely heard, and to leave each visit understanding a little more about what their body is doing and why, and how to support their own natural ability to heal.

Giselle Foss is a chiropractic physician in Florida with advanced training in acupuncture, offering an integrative, whole-body approach to care. Originally trained and licensed in both acupuncture and chiropractic in New Jersey, she relocated to Florida to create a slower, more intentional life for her family and to raise her daughter, Ren.

Her work blends structural, neurological, and energetic medicine to support the body’s natural ability to heal. She integrates acupuncture, gentle chiropractic care, herbal medicine, and movement into personalized, deeply restorative treatments.

Giselle has a special focus in women’s health, fertility, and pregnancy care, including the Webster Technique, while also working extensively with musculoskeletal pain — especially hip and shoulder conditions.

Her treatments are calm, intuitive, and responsive to what the body needs each day, creating a space where patients feel safe, supported, and truly cared for.
