Livia Brode
Livia Brode, a native North Carolinian, returned to NC after working many years as a gemologist in NY’s Diamond District. She became interested in healthcare and alternative methods of healing and studied at Everglades University, receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in Alternative Medicine. Being able to study alternative methods of healing gave her a number of
insights into their many benefits and sparked her love for Chinese Medicine. As a clinic intern, she looks forward to listening to patients to help them find the root cause of their condition in order to help bring their bodies back to harmony and better able to enjoy life. Since studying Classical Chinese Medicine at Jung Tao, her love for acupuncture has only deepened, and after graduation, she would like to specialize in Neuroacupuncture.

After graduation Sally aspires to combine the ancient wisdom of Chinese Medicine & Ayurveda to holistically restore patients’ health and well-being.
Donna Ellis
I’m a native of St. Augustine, Florida but found my way to the mountains as an Anthropology student at ASU in the 80’s. I live in Galax, VA with my husband, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 13 chickens and 2 horses.
My previous career was as a registered veterinary technician. I’ve also practiced and taught yoga and qigong for over 18 yrs. Healing and teaching have been my passions my entire life.
I’m excited about serving patients in the Jung Tao clinic. To be of service is my greatest desire and honor.
When I’m not studying Chinese Medicine, you might find me riding my horses, teaching children horsemanship, gardening, hiking, foraging wild foods or throwing clay on the potter’s wheel.
