about daisy barquist
I am originally from Jacksonville, Florida, where I attended college at Jacksonville University. After college, I went to Wake Forest Law School in North Carolina where I lived for about 20 years. I practiced tax and corporate law and also birthed my daughter (who is now a fantastic young woman). I studied acupuncture and Chinese herbs at The Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, Maryland (currently known as TAI Sophia) and graduated in early 1999 with a Masters of Acupuncture.
      I am National Board Certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology.  I have maintained my full time Oriental Medicine practice since 1999. I have also been a member of the faculty of TAI Sophia and the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Florida. I am a former Commissioner of the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and have served as the Commission's Chair of the Professional Ethics and Disciplinary Committee.
