Driven by his passion for mind/body peak
performance, Dr. Mancini strives to achieve excellence for his patients.
As a doctor of Oriental medicine, he assists his patients with a variety
of health issues including acute and chronic pain, healthy weight loss,
and the impact of all forms of stress and strain on the body.
Dr. Mancini has competed at national
and international levels in full contact Kung fu style fighting which
required him to be in peak physical, mental and emotional shape. His
knowledge of mind/body peak performance comes from his personal training
program that has earned him national and international gold medals.
He holds a 3rd degree black belt in the Taoist internal martial arts
of Hsing I, Pa Kua and Tai Chi, and a 2nd degree black belt in Shaolin
Kung fu. He also has trained extensively in Muay Thai boxing and western
boxing.
He received his Doctorate in Oriental
Medicine (O.M.D.) from South Baylo University. As a graduate of the
first professional California approved Doctor of Oriental Medicine,
Dr. Mancini practices with the highest standards of Oriental medicine
making a complete integration into the present health care system. Using
evidence-based treatment guidelines in standard scientific and medical
terminology, he is able to communicate and integrate with the medical
community. As a primary care physician, Dr. Mancini is trained to determine
when referrals are necessary.
The inclusion of the O.M.D. in the medical
system will support the shift of patient care from a linear ‘traditional
approach’ to an integrative, multi-modality, evidence-based approach.
Dr. Mancini has equivalent proficiencies in practicing medicine at the
highest standard alongside mainstream medicine, and he is able to explain
to the medical community all physiological concepts of Oriental medicine
including how needling therapy works.
He trains his body and mind daily
not only to strengthen himself, but to help arm his patients with knowledge
and power to improve their lives and the lives of their family and friends.
Dr. Mancini is truly passionate about Oriental medicine, nutrition,
athletic and psychological performance. He offers something that is
unparalleled. His primary goal is not to treat sickness or disease but
rather improve the quality of health and life of his patients. His focus
as a primary health care provider is to emphasize education in the areas
of psychology, exercise, diet and lifestyle. With this intention, his
patients become empowered in their own health and well being. In addition,
he works closely with other medical practitioners to create a more integrated
approach for each patient.

The Foundation for Wellness Professionals™
is an association of professional healthcare motivational and keynote
speakers and was originally founded as “The Doctor’s Speakers
Bureau” in 1985 by Dr. David Singer, in Clearwater, Florida. This
volunteer, not-for-profit association operates through independently-operated
chapters across the United States and Canada. The Foundation for Wellness
Professionals is incorporated as an official professional association
with the State of Florida (N03000002637). It has not-for-profit status.
Members are natural healthcare professionals who devote their time as
motivational and keynote speakers, to deliver educational workshops
at no charge on health-related topics in their local communities. The
Foundation for Wellness Professionals members are in great demand to
speak at corporations, women’s associations, bookstores, health
food stores and fitness centers.
All seminars and workshops emphasize preventative care as the key to
good health. Workshops and seminars vary in length from 30 minutes to
one hour. Audience participation is strongly recommended when possible
and those who attend always leave with practical information they can
put to use to improve their lives.
The most significant way to reduce healthcare costs is to educate the
public on ways to maintain their health and prevent disease. It is with
this purpose in mind that we are pleased to introduce you to our association
of professional healthcare motivational and keynote speakers, the members
of The Foundation for Wellness Professionals.
