OUR TEAM

“I love this beautiful medicine & helping people discover their path to health.”

I enjoying figuring out the TCM patterns helping the body rebalance & thrive. I listen to your story and will create a personalized wellness plan based on your constitution. We are nature – We need to learn to balance with it to be well and restore our greatest potential. My work isn’t like work, it’s like visiting friends all day.

I had an idea of helping people find their way of health with natural medicine. And I discovered along the way, what you do with an idea…you change the world. I’m beyond blessed and truly honored to bring TCM to our community. I’m committed to maintaining a high standard of care with integrity & compassion that is safe, & effective.

Yesenia DeCapua was born in Venezuela and moved to the US at the age of 16 to pursue a degree in medicine. She attended the University of Findlay and successfully earned her Bachelor’s degree in Science and Pre-Medicine as well as Nuclear Medicine Technology. In 2014, Yesenia graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the American Institute of Alternative Medicine in Columbus, Ohio and is a fully licensed Acupuncturist with our Tamara TCM practice. Yesenia is thrilled to bring all that she is into this excellent field and healing to all her patients.

Through her previous work experiences as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist at Flower Hospital for 9 years and her time spent with us here at Tamara TCM as Tamara’s assistant, Yesenia developed a solid and extensive background in acute hospital care, all aspects of nuclear medicine technology and how TCM and acupuncture can complement treatments in a more holistic approach to healing. As part of her training, Yesenia also completed a 6 week internship in Beijing, China at the Beijing Hospital of Western and Integrative Medicine where she was able to solidify her knowledge of energy medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine in a hospital setting.

Yesenia is passionate about helping people discover their true potential and helping them heal on multiple levels.

Scott McBride is a Certified Crystalline Consciousness Technique (CCT) Master Teacher, and Crystalline Transformation Coach. Scott both practices and teaches CCT online and over the phone with clients across the country, and is a proud ‘Virtual Practitioner’ at the Tamara TCM Wellness Clinic.

Scott helps people with what is called ‘energetic transformation’. Energetic transformation is the process of building and growing, through the use of energy healing techniques, to achieve greater and greater levels of potential within ourselves.

Sometimes events and situations from our past hold us back from experiencing the quality of life and health that we want. Sometimes we have trouble accessing what we know is possible, and aren’t sure why we can’t get there. Sometimes we don’t know the direction we want to go in life. Scott is the person to get you there. He can help heal and release trauma from your past (even that which you aren’t aware is affecting you today), so that you can move forward with greater levels of ease, clarity, and joy.

After completing my Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies, where I focused on health and wellness at the University of Toledo, I briefly worked as an accountability coach for weight loss. It didn’t take long for me to realize this was not my passion. I have had a lifelong interest in healing and helping people but, first I needed to heal myself. I struggled, like so many, with health issues and nothing was helping me. I tried acupuncture and was amazed at how much better I felt after my acupuncture sessions. The effects of my treatments were so miraculous and profound that within two months, I enrolled in the American Institute of Alternative Medicine in Columbus, Ohio. After I became licensed, I began practicing in the Columbus area until I realized, as a Toledo native, I wished to return to my hometown. I am so excited that I get to practice acupuncture here in Toledo, doing something meaningful in a place that means so much to me! While learning, receiving and practicing this medicine, I have seen unbelievable transformations in myself and in others with acupuncture. I am fascinated by the body’s innate intelligence to heal!

I love helping people feel better and I believe that when we feel better, we are more likely to move throughout the world with compassion, which gives us the skills to better deal with life’s struggles. Every day, I feel so grateful to share my knowledge and establish significant relationships between practitioner and patient, no matter how long or how brief.

Thank you, Tamara TCM for giving me this opportunity to give back to Toledo. Call the clinic and get on my schedule! I also host Tamara TCM’s group acupuncture every Wednesday morning. I love community acupuncture because I want to live in a society that has accessible and affordable health care for everyone. I love living in Toledo and I feel very lucky to be able to offer the benefits of acupuncture to my local community.

When I’m not at Tamara TCM, I’m studying Traditional Chinese Medicine, hanging out with my family, friends and my rescue girl, Luna! You might also see me most mornings in a hot yoga studio!
