Founder & Practitioner | Weather Integrative Medicine, LLC
Dr. Kirstin Weather is a licensed Acupuncture Physician, nationally board-certified Diplomate of Acupuncture, educator, and integrative healthcare practitioner with 14 years of clinical experience and more than a decade of experience in health education. Her approach to healing is rooted in a simple belief: every person deserves to be heard, understood, and cared for as a whole—not simply treated for a diagnosis.
Dr. Weather earned her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM), with a focus in Internal Medicine, from the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine and her Master of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) from the Florida College of Integrative Medicine. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Professional Health Studies, maintains active licensure in Florida, and holds certifications in Biopuncture, Acupuncture Injection Therapy, and Clean Needle Technique.
Before dedicating her career to integrative medicine, Dr. Weather was a classically trained chef, graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta in International Culinary Arts. She spent more than a decade working professionally in Atlanta and South Florida, developing a deep appreciation for international cuisine, nutrition, cultural food traditions, and the connection between food and wellness.
Her culinary journey eventually led her to explore the therapeutic role of food and herbs, particularly through her research in food therapy and pre- and postnatal care. This experience became an important foundation for her integrative approach to health.
Inspired by a family deeply connected to healthcare—her mother in public health and her father as a surgeon—Dr. Weather chose to pursue a path that bridges traditional healing practices, nutrition, community health, and modern healthcare. She has also worked and was mentored by renowned Asian traditional doctors to provide a different perspective on various modalities in traditional medicines.
Dr. Weather's commitment to community wellness began long before her private practice.
Through an AmeriCorps in-service placement, she worked with the Office of Community Health at Hugh Spalding Children's Hospital in Atlanta, gaining valuable experience in public health, community outreach, and healthcare initiatives.
She also served with the nonprofit Operation P.E.A.C.E. through AmeriCorps, combining her culinary expertise with community service. As a chef supporting the organization's senior programs, she provided monthly international culinary experiences that introduced seniors to diverse cultures through food while emphasizing healthy, nourishing meals and community connection. She launched and instructed a community nutrition pogram tailored for at-risk adolescent girls. This work allowed her to bring together her passions for culinary arts, cultural education, nutrition, and community outreach.
These experiences reinforced her belief that food, education, culture, and human connection are powerful components of wellness.
Dr. Weather later served as the Student Organization Program Chair at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine, where she supervised community clinical operations, mentored student interns, supported clinical education, and helped expand access to patient care. With more than a decade of experience in education, she has taught and mentored students across various subjects while helping prepare future practitioners for compassionate, integrative healthcare.
She has also volunteered with community acupuncture initiatives, providing NADA protocol and auricular acupuncture services to individuals impacted by trauma, DV, PTSD, and substance use disorders. Throughout her career, she has worked collaboratively with physicians and other healthcare professionals to support comprehensive, patient-centered care.
As the founder and practitioner of Weather Integrative Medicine, LLC, Dr. Weather provides personalized, patient-centered care for individuals seeking support with pain management, neurological conditions, stress-related disorders, women's health, and chronic disease management.
Her integrative approach may incorporate acupuncture, herbal medicine, Biopuncture, auricular therapy, food therapy, Tuina, lifestyle counseling, meditation, nutrition, homeopathy, and other traditional healing modalities, based on each patient's individual needs.
Her philosophy is simple:
Listen first. Understand the whole person. Educate. Empower. Partner in the journey toward better health.
Dr. Weather believes patients should be active participants in their own healthcare. She takes the time to listen to her patients' concerns and works collaboratively with them to develop individualized strategies that support lasting wellness.
Dr. Weather's professional training includes advanced externships at Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Anhui Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital in Hefei, China.
Her perspective on health has also been shaped by more than four decades of international travel throughout Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Europe. Experiencing different cultures, traditional healing systems, food traditions, and approaches to wellness has deepened her appreciation for the many ways people understand and pursue health.
Dr. Weather is a lifelong learner, educator, traveler, and culinary enthusiast. She enjoys reading, creating exotic meals, watching documentaries, snorkeling, fishing, and camping in the Blue Mountains. She is a proud mother and shares her home with her beloved family members: a daughter, a spunky aquatic turtle, and a mischievous kitten.
Her journey—from being a professional Culinarian to community health, education, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and integrative healthcare—has given Dr. Weather a uniquely multidisciplinary perspective.
She brings together clinical medicine, traditional healing, nutrition, culinary arts, education, community service, and cultural understanding to create a practice centered on one essential goal:
Helping people feel heard, empowered, and supported on their journey toward optimal health.
We Listen. Educate. Empower. Heal.
Whole-person care, thoughtfully personalized for you.
