About Us | Florida Integrative Health & Wellness

Who We Are

Our history...

Florida’s Natural Farmacy was founded in 2018 when three business partners had a mission of making professional level supplements and holistic health, commonplace and available to all demographics. With the challenges of Covid and varying interests of the partners, they respectfully separated.

Doctor Carolyn retained her ownership and evolved her vision of creating an integrative health & wellness center in the Farmacy space, and partnered with Ashley Ondrick, a St. Pete resident, holistic chef, health coach and long time supporter of the Farmacy. With strong foundational beliefs, the two joined forces and founded Florida Integrative Health & Wellness.

After many additional challenges at this location, the partners determined the best course of action was to close FIHW. Dr. Carolyn is continuing the mission and is now located at Robinson MD, a functional medicine clinic in downtown St Petersburg. Ashley is continuing her art as a holistic chef in St Pete.

Dr. Stacey Robinson has led her integrative concierge practice for many years and is happy to invite Dr. Carolyn and several other FIHW practitioners into her practice. Their continued foundational belief is that God is using the experiences - both the amazing and the challenging - to share knowledge of holistic and integrative health, and to spread a message of hope to everyone who walks through their doors. Dr. Carolyn still aims to provide a one-stop wellness center experience incorporating primary care, acupuncture, functional medicine, massage therapy, detox support, mind/body medicine and IV therapy; all under one roof.

Dr. Carolyn also believes in coordination of care and creating an environment where the patient has a whole team on their side; helping to provide comprehensive health treatment protocols and better compliance and success in achieving health goals. The saying goes- “it takes a village…” and we are the team helping you to remove obstacles and support the path to optimal health.

Paulina will be seeing clients at Florida Integrative Health & Wellness @Robinson MD, starting late January 2024

Embark on a journey of transformative healing with Medical Biomagnetism—an innovative therapy that has brought hope to countless individuals facing diverse health challenges for over 30 years. From addressing common issues like poor nutrient absorption to tackling complex conditions such as Lyme disease and tumors, this holistic approach targets the underlying causes linked to pathogens. Its unique ability to identify pathogenic components, such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, or fungi, sets it apart and often uncovers connections to disorders overlooked by traditional medical diagnosis.

What makes Medical Biomagnetism truly remarkable is its absence of side effects or contraindications, making it a versatile complement to other treatments. This therapy is more than just a treatment—it's a pathway to relaxation, healing, and the release of conditions with ease. As a devoted Medical Biomagnetism Practitioner, I'm Paulina, originally from Mexico. My personal journey into this field began after witnessing its transformative power in my family's life, particularly my father's recovery from severe Salmonella infection and high-risk Pancreatitis. Since 2015, I've dedicated myself to this practice in Tampa, Florida, embracing a holistic lifestyle alongside my vibrant 12-year-old daughter.

Guided by esteemed mentors like Dr. Isaac Goiz Duran, Dr. David Goiz, Moises Goiz, Dr. Miguel Ojeda Rios, and Dr. Salvador Gutierrez Rdz de Mondelo, I'm here with care and honor to walk this healing journey with you. I warmly invite you to schedule your first session, eagerly anticipating the opportunity to embark on this transformative journey together.
