Rafael Padro, DOM, AP, is a board-certified acupuncture physician at Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture in Coral Gables, Florida. Dr. Padro combines traditional Chinese medicine (yin-yang, five elements, acupuncture) with Western medicine theories in his diagnoses and treatments.
Dr. Padro holds a master's degree in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and a bachelor's degree in health sciences from The Acupuncture and Massage College in Miami, Florida. He also holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from Excelsior College in Albany, New York.
Being a third-generation medical professional and learning the gratitude that is received when helping others, Dr. Padro knew what path he was going to follow. Even though his family’s background was more concentrated on a Western aspect of medicine, he knew he wanted to do something different.
While finishing his bachelor's degree in psychology, Dr. Padro introduced himself to oriental medicine. There, he realized there were other ways you could heal patients, regardless of their conditions, and that combining Eastern methods with Western methods could benefit a patient's recovery from any disease even more.
“Love her! I cannot stress how refreshing is it to finally have found a mental healthcare professional in Miami who listens to her patients and provides care without being condescending. ”

The Phoenix & Dragon in Austin, Texas is a practice of acupuncture and oriental medicine operated by Sharon Shuppert, Dipl. OM, L.Ac. We are so glad you are considering our clinic for your naturopathic and eastern medical needs.
Sharon attended the Texas College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCTCM) where she earned her Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine. The institution has been ranked among the top three Traditional Chinese Medicine colleges in the country. TCTCM received this designation by Traditional Chinese Medicine World, which is a national newspaper that focuses on informing both healthcare professionals and their clients about TCM. Sharon has earned the designation of Diplomate of Oriental Medicine and is also licensed by the Texas State Medical Board.
In 1995, Sharon discovered the possibilities of oriental medicine about battling persistent headaches for an entire year. Thanks to the use of Chinese herbs and acupuncture, Sharon’s headaches were alleviated and she became a believer. What’s more, oriental medicine functions holistically—bring healing to the mind, body, and spirit—trying TCM helped her restore balance to her whole body. Other bothersome health conditions such as allergies, fatigue, and premenstrual syndrome were also relieved with TCM. Seeing firsthand the possibilities of oriental medicine, Sharon forged a career out of introducing others to these amazing therapies.
Sharon is proud to have trained with Dr. Teh-Fu Tan, the grand master of acupuncture. She has incorporated Dr. Tan’s Balance Method into her repertoire of acupuncture services. When Sharon applies this method to her Austin area patients at The Phoenix & Dragon, they enjoy immediate positive results. Plus, repeated treatments have been shown to offer long-term relief from their ailments.
The Phoenix & Dragon is located in proximity to the University of Texas campus in Austin off of I-35 in the Medical Arts Square. There is off-street parking in front of the building for clients’ convenience. The clinic is decorated to resemble a Shanghai period sitting room for the ultimate in comfort and relaxation. Sharon completes her healing sessions with ease, taking the time to attend to the unique needs of each of her patients.
