About Us
Life Awaits Acupuncture was founded back in 2016 in Sarasota, Florida by Dr. Keiko Dodson.
To provide our patients with the best opportunity for relief, Life awaits Acupuncture is proud to partner with Hudson Chiropractic under the practice with Dr. Jeffery Hudson. Unlike other practices, we personally tailor a wellness program that specifically targets your wellness needs which can consist of both chiropractic care and other alternative eastern treatments such as acupuncture. Here, we make a promise to our patients to provide them with the top treatment options through our highly-effective and diverse techniques and services.
Meet Dr. Keiko
Dr. Keiko Dodson is a licensed, board certified Doctor of Oriental Medicine and Acupuncturist. Along with Bachelor degrees in Asian
Philosophy and Professional Health Science, she also had earned her Master of Science degree in Oriental Medicine from East West College of Natural Medicine in Sarasota, FL.
Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, her path to seeking and utilizing alternative medicine began early on in her childhood where she was exposed to traditional herbal medicines such as Kampo and Moxibustion by her family.
In addition to her clinical training in Japanese style acupuncture under Kiiko Mastumoto (2018), she also has been trained by Dr. Frank Shallenberger M.D. and Dr. Kathy in Ozone Therapy (2020) where studies have significant pain reduction in patients.

Influenced by her training under Dr. Zang and Dr. Goldstein, she also has developed her own method of facial care which uses a combination of radio frequency. microcurrent, and Chinese Gua Sha to effectively and safely stimulate collagen; reducing aging lines and wrinkles.
Meet Dr. Jeff
Dr. Jeffery Hudson is the eldest son of Dr. George Hudson who had founded Hudson Chiropractic back in 1958. With experience in chiropractic care for twenty-six years, he is committed to his patients and their journey to recovery. His “whole person approach” to wellness sets him apart from other practitioners where his attention is focused on underlying causes of their discomfort or pain and utilizes his resources to ensure his patient’s recovery to optimal health.
As a Sarasota native, he attended our very own Sarasota High School back in 1980 and then due to his interest in natural health care, he attended and graduated Life Chiropractic College (Class of 1993) in Georgia. Continuing his father’s legacy, he has been a licensed Chiropractic Physician serving the community ever since 1994. Over the years, he has also become certified in manipulation under anesthesia and physiotherapy which when combined with traditional chiropractic care treatments, it can provide patients with a very fast recovery to good health.
Our Philosophy
Dr. Keiko believes that every patient has the innate ability to cure themselves and that acupuncture and herbal medicine can aid in achieving optimum health. Many people suffer from pain and emotional distress which affects not only their thinking and behavior, but also cause disease. The primary focus of her treatments is to restore systemic balance and achieve overall well-being.
