Dr. Matt Dorsey L.Ac., D.A.O.M.
Dr. Matt Dorsey is a relentless researcher of medical science and a caring listener with a broad range of interests, including Eastern medicine, clinical nutrition, psychology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and biochemistry.
Though he a a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) by training, he often describes himself as ‘medically bilingual’ because he’s able to speak from both Eastern and Western medical perspectives and has additional doctoral as well as on-the-job training in biomedicine.
In addition to extensive formal training in medical herbology, he is also an expert in nutritional supplements with fifteen years of experience in the industry and has worked as a product formulator for a major brand.
A natural teacher who strives to make complex health topics as simple as possible, Dr. Dorsey always invites his patients to ask lots of questions on each call and strives to ensure that the underlying rationale for his protocols is understood.
The majority of his practice consists of helping those with mood issues, autoimmunity, chronic pain, insomnia, ADHD, and digestive disorders, though he is a generalist and is thus comfortable with addressing a wide variety of issues. He is also well-versed in biohacking and general health optimization and is excited to assist those looking to enhance their overall performance.
Unlike most doctor’s visits, in which there’s barely enough to time discuss chief complaints, sessions with Dr. Dorsey are long and thorough enough that his patients are able to go far deeper into their unique problems, goals and concerns, enabling him to generate a fully customized action plan that meets their individual needs.

Biography:
My first love is music and theater. I am a trained theater performer and vocalist with a Bachelor’s in music composition. I am also a singer/songwriter who plays the guitar and piano.
I discovered energy medicine in 2005 during my first acupuncture treatment. Since then, I went on to learn other modalities such as Crystal Healing, Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, Reiki, Reconnective Healing and more. I am fascinated with all things energetic and believe that it is one of my missions on this planet to educate humanity about the human biofield and their interconnectedness with All That Is. I know that we are all energetically interconnected and that we have more control over our well-being that we have been traditionally taught. My ultimate goal is to uplift everyone and everything, healing humanity and the world, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. I believe in the expansion of human consciousness.
I graduated from AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine with a Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in 2011. Since then I have owned and operated acupuncture clinics, mostly in Florida, but also in Pennsylvania. Before and during that time most of my theater performances took place in Northwest Florida, and Cocoa Florida. I also spent a few years in California acting in TV and movies.
My passion is spiritual, mental, emotional and energetic well-being, rather than just decreasing physical pain. I opened a holistic center so that people would receive a more comprehensive approach to well-BE-ing all under one roof, to raise the collective vibration and consciousness, and to foster conscientious community. I believe that together we are stronger and that it is our responsibility to support and lift one another up.
In 2010 I learned Reconnective Healing, an energetic transfer that assists in reconnecting to the axiatonal grid system, and was fascinated to see the energy come through to my clients during acupuncture treatments for years thereafter. Clients reported feelings of bliss and peace. I believe there are major energetic changes coming to planet Earth and her people. Some people refer to these changes as upgrades or downloads. Whatever you call it, we are becoming more aware, conscientious beings.
How did I get into acupuncture?
We all have a story, and mine is no different. I was enjoying my life, living in New York City, trying to “make it” in the world as a singer-songwriter when the unthinkable happened… my left ear “popped” when listening to a band play music, and I never heard the same way again. As a musician, singer and performer I was devastated. I missed my old hearing, and I wanted it back, but I couldn’t have it. Instead, my love was replaced with extreme anxiety and depression. I fell to the depths of despair that lead one to consider the alternative to staying on this planet. I chose to fight instead.
Luckily, a highly influential person in my life said, “Don’t give up, try acupuncture.” I said, “I don’t know what that is, but I’ll try it.”
Little did I know that my entire perception of reality was about to change. My first acupuncture treatment was amazing. I didn’t understand what acupuncture was, or what it was doing. All I knew was that I loved it and I loved the way it made me feel. I began to ask, “Why doesn’t everyone know about this?”
It was through Dr. Wu and acupuncture that I learned about the energetic reality that activates all living things. I began to see all physical forms as not only form, but energy first. I began to experience the energetic reality that I had never been aware of until then.
Dr. Wu taught me qigong and tai chi. Qigong means “energy practice” and is a way to move energy for physical, mental and spiritual well-being. It was through these lessons that I realized… “This is what everyone is looking for.” Everyone is looking for a connection to the energetic reality that brings us all peace, but most people don’t know how to find it.
I went on to learn yoga, Reiki and my favorite form of energy healing aside from crystals, Reconnective Healing. I discovered the energetic power of crystals to move energy in 2006 and was fascinated with all things “energy.”
Still, I was trying to fix my ear and my hearing. The ringing decreased, but the clicking sounds and decreased hearing was still there. In the process of trying to heal my hearing and inner ear, I ended up gradually healing deep, deep emotional trauma that was always there below the surface, waiting to come out. I had no idea how much sadness I was carrying around until it started to come out. I spent three years intentionally purging through tears and doing Reiki on myself, until one day the sadness lessened, and I began to feel clarity. At the bottom of that well of sadness is LOVE. Hope and Love. You ARE Love, and that’s why you miss the feeling. You miss who you really are. Once you purge all the sadness, all you feel is love.
So, now I feel love on a regular basis, including my interconnection with all that is. I no longer feel separate from God, or Life itself, and I am able to tap into deep peace. Does that mean that I don’t sometimes get frustrated by everyday life? Of course not. I am still running around like everyone else here, trying to make it from point A to point B with the most pleasant experience possible, however, I now know Who I Am, and what I’m doing here, and that makes life a whole lot better.
Why did I want to open a holistic center?
I opened a holistic center because I saw a need for it in the community and it’s been a long-time dream of mine. My goal is to help people attain greater well-being by uplifting humanity, the world and the Universe. My goal is to reconnect people with Who They Really Are. This holistic center is an extension of Who I Am. Once God or the Universe grants you inside knowledge into our shared energetic reality and Who You Really Are, it’s your pleasure to share that experience with other people. I want you to experience Who You Really Are as well, which is why we created a space where healing and thriving is possible.
So, come join us in expanding consciousness and raising the vibration of the planet. Experience the Love that You Really Are and Inter-connectedness with All That Is. There is no better feeling than Oneness.
Love, Brian
