Continuing her education, she obtained her certification as Acutonics Practitioner and later, as Acutonics Teacher, she became a Master Reiki, a Master Clinical Hypnotherapist, a Pranic Healer practitioner and a Certified Yoga Teacher.

Dr. Villamarin has been a volunteer and trainer for non-profit Acupuncture organizations such as Acupuncturists without Borders: missions in Ecuador (2009) and Nepal (2010) and Pan African Acupuncture Project (PAAP) in Uganda, Africa (2012). In 2014 she traveled with a team to Upper Mustang, Nepal for the first mission of her newly founded organization “The Wu Project, Inc.”
Dr. Villamarin always felt compelled to merge and integrate East and West, science and technology, with philosophy and spirituality. With her background and continuous search for knowledge, she is able to bridge the gap and bring forth the valuable traditions often lost in modern medicine.
