About Me

Austin Schweizer, LAc, RN, Dipl.O.M.
Founder of Eastern Rooted Wellness

Welcome to Eastern Rooted Wellness, where ancient healing traditions meet modern care. My name is Austin Schweizer, and I’m the founder and heart behind this practice. My journey into the healing arts began with a strong foundation in Western medicine, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of Florida in 2003. For years, I worked within conventional healthcare systems, committed to helping others but often witnessing the limitations of symptom-focused treatment approaches.

Later in life, I was introduced to the world of acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and everything changed. What began as a personal exploration quickly turned into a calling. I experienced firsthand the power of holistic, root-cause healing. It opened my eyes to a safer, more integrative way to treat not just illness, but the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

Driven by this transformation, I returned to school at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine, where I earned a Master's Degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine and an additional Bachelor's in Health Sciences, graduating summa cum laude. I immersed myself in the rich traditions of Chinese medicine, studying ancient diagnostic methods, acupuncture, herbal formulas, and the balance of energy known as Qi.

Today, my approach blends the precision and clinical insight of Western nursing with the depth and wisdom of Eastern medicine. I believe that healing should be safe, empowering, and deeply personalized. Traditional Chinese Medicine has not only changed my life—it has become my life's work. Through this practice, I aim to offer others the same transformation, whether they are managing chronic conditions, seeking pain relief, balancing hormones, or simply wanting to feel more vibrant and aligned.

At Eastern Rooted Wellness, we stand for integrative, preventative, and patient-centered care. Rooted in ancient wisdom and guided by modern evidence, my mission is to help you reclaim your health naturally and holistically.
