“Health is a state of optimal physical, mental and emotional well-being, not merely the absence of disease and infirmity”
– Dorlands Medical Dictionary, 26th edition.
Brigitta Bragina, L.Ac., began her medical training at Tartu University in Estonia, where she completed five years of study in medical sciences, including anatomy, neurology, pediatrics, pharmacology, and psychiatry. She also worked in the Emergency Room at Tallinn Central Hospital, where she developed a deep appreciation for patient care and supporting individuals during vulnerable moments.
Her interest in acupuncture began during her second year of medical school, when she experienced its benefits firsthand—finding relief from aches and pains, increased relaxation, and improved mental clarity. This experience sparked a passion that would guide her future career.
Brigitta moved to Central Ohio more than 20 years ago to visit her future husband; just four months later they were married and made Ohio their home. She now lives in Westerville with her family. Driven by her commitment to helping others, Brigitta became a Licensed Acupuncturist in 2007 and graduated summa cum laude from the American Institute of Alternative Medicine in 2009 with a Professional Master’s Level degree.
She is licensed by the Ohio Medical Board and is nationally certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). In addition to traditional acupuncture, Brigitta offers cupping, electro-acupuncture, and auricular therapy.
Brigitta is an approved provider for major insurance companies, including Medicaid, and is dedicated to helping patients understand and utilize Health Savings Accounts for their treatments.
