Dr. Joseph Fiala

The Light Clinic

220 Conway St, Unit 1, Frankfort, KY, 40601

Dr. Joseph made the decision to study Chinese Medicine during his early twenties while living in a Buddhist Monastery in Bodh Gaya, India. He loves to walk alongside people on their spiritual path and views our individual health journey as a vital gateway into unlocking the treasures of that path. He embraces the idea that one can help others most effectively and enduringly by valuing self-cultivation and compassion practices. He is co-founder of The Light Clinic (TLC). He received his Bachelors of Science (B.S.) in Business Economics from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, his Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) with a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Classical Chinese Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in 2010 and his Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) degree from the Pacific College of Health Sciences (PCHS) in 2020. He is a certified Dream Leader, having completed a 2-year course in Jungian Dreamwork through the Haden Institute in Hendersonville, North Carolina. He is also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200), receiving his training from the Yoga Bar in Covington, Kentucky. He has served as a past President of the Kentucky State Acupuncture Association. He has his License in Acupuncture (L.Ac.) in the state of Kentucky, and his national Acupuncture board-certification through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). After much traveling, Joseph is very happy to have moved back to his hometown of Frankfort, Kentucky where he lives with his amazing wife and business partner, Emaline, and has 2 incredible kiddos, Olivia and Asa. He continues to co-create with other local business entrepeneurs in projects such as Bourbon On Main and Locals Food Hub & Pizza Pub. Joseph makes every effort to give back to the community which raised him well.
