Tracy L. Hackett, AP, DAOM, NCCAOM Dipl. OM is a Florida Department of Health board-certified Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Acupuncture Physician, and nationally certified as a Diplomate of OM with the NCCAOM.
I earned my clinical doctorate in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, California Institute of Integrative Studies (CiiS) in San Francisco, California. I received my Master’s of Science degree for TCM at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, San Francisco, CA, in 2005. During that time, I studied Functional Medicine as well, since it’s premise is largely based upon TCM differential diagnosis theory (e.g. systems-based analysis of body regulation).Â
I completed my clinical rounds at TCM hospital settings in Hang Zhou, China including Zhejiang Chinese Medical University Hospital and Red Cross Hospital, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China (2005, 2013). I also completed observation rounds at the Pain and Palliative Care Unit at the NIH in Bethesda, MD (2013), and California Pacific Medical Center, UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco, CA (2003-04), Sutter Health, Oakland, CA (2004), Women’s Cancer Resource Center, Oakland, CA, (2003) and Quan Yin Healing Arts, SF, under the auspices of Beverly Burns (2004).
I was the acupuncturist for a beloved Rinpoche (teacher/lama) of the Drikung Kagyu lineage and practiced in his community clinic for his resident monks and nuns in Kathmandu, Nepal, and at the Lamayuru monastery, Ladakh, India (2006-07).
I studied healing arts throughout Asia for many years. I have taught classical hatha yoga since 1997 and have been an avid meditator since early childhood. I teach all of my patients some form of meditation with the aim of catalyzing their healing process. We work together to encourage and refine what you already know in practice or I can help the complete beginner find a sensible entry point to discover the amazing benefits of meditation practices.
I have extensive experience treating many health conditions through systems-based medicine since 2005.
Studying and practicing traditional healing methods, yoga, meditation, herbalism, and nutrition in India, Thailand, Bali, Nepal, and China have informed and built my own recovery from illness and injuries. It is a personal journey that is not for everyone, so I do my best to bring it into your healing process. Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda both have deep connections to the roots of Buddhism, as do the mindfulness and energywork techniques that I bring into the treatment mix. This constellation of modalities has become cornerstone to the way I work toward delivering nutritive health-care: energy medicine, acupuncture, herbal/orthomolecular medicine, and systems-based functional medicine.
At its core, Traditional Chinese Medicine relies upon differential diagnosis, a systems-based approach to evaluating health conditions. While Eastern medicine is significant, understanding how to develop protocols for optimal health also requires insights from Western functional medicine. I assess your existing lab results and scan reports to establish a baseline of your health. If needed, I may suggest additional testing, but typically, we begin with our intake process to initiate a protocol. Often, those who consult with me have undergone numerous tests; we use these as a starting point and proceed to order further tests as required. Read More
This photo captures me, Dr. Tracy, in 2000, creating a mural of the Vishwaroopa on a temple ceiling in Kerala, India. The year-long project was a component of my Bachelor’s degree (High Honors) in Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Florida. It stands as one of the most fulfilling achievements of my life. This endeavor also included learning Sanskrit, studying Ayurveda, and mastering some incredible curry recipes!
