The Evolve Story
Located in Delray Beach, Florida, Evolve offers personalized healthcare through Acupuncture, Functional Medicine, and Holistic Nutrition, tailored to each patient's needs.
Evolve Acupuncture and Wellness is the inspiration of Kimberly Marrone AP, L.Ac, CFMP. After co-founding and running the successful wellness practice for 14 years, Kim felt called to start a new venture to meet the current needs of her community. One of Kim’s passions is helping the community develop healthcare strategies and teaching young people about caring for their body and their health.
Kim has put together an incredible team of devoted, nurturing, and knowledgeable Wellness Practitioners with over 40 years of combined experience. They provide individualized and high-quality care, integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Holistic Nutrition. This allows them to deliver Personalized Lifestyle Medicine to help patients change the trajectory of their health.
We believe lifelong health and vitality are our birthright. We are committed to helping you achieve optimal health through a holistic framework. We invite you to explore a world of possibility, health, and happiness, where you can take charge of your own well-being.
Our approach empowers patients to prevent and reverse chronic disease, achieve optimal health, and restore balance in their lives. We know that your health is impacted by all facets of life. It is for this reason that we consider things like work, past injuries, emotional stress, environmental toxins, genetics, movement patterns, sleep hygiene, and nutritional habits to get to the true cause of your health problems.
Through a thoughtful and in-depth consultation, we take the time to learn the exact nature and cause of your health concerns. We then map out a one-of-a-kind plan for your personal health success, choosing from a variety of methods, including but not limited to:
Acupuncture
Functional Medicine
Holistic Nutrition
Massage Therapy
Telemedicine
Personalized Lifestyle Recommendations
Because the journey to health is unique to every patient, we will work with you to find your own unique treatment plan to promote your vitality and physical health.
We look forward to guiding you through your evolution to true health.
A Note From Our Founder
Dear Visitor,
Thank you for being a part of the Evolve story. Your interest alone in our practice truly means the world to me. I want you to know that no matter what health conditions you are going through, what challenges life is handing you, or what worries may be on your mind, you are not alone.
Having committed my life and career to cultivating wellness in others, my focus is often on helping my patients heal, understanding their concerns with compassion, and feeling their struggles with empathy. It is an honor to play this role in the lives of so many wonderful souls.
What I also want you to know is that I, too, have wrestled with my own challenges in health. I have felt the fear of unknown diagnoses, the pain of unexplainable symptoms, and the frustration of wavering progress. It is due in part to my own wellness journey that I believe so strongly in our ability to heal and, ultimately, to thrive in even the direst of circumstances.
When you are a patient at Evolve, know that we care about your journey. We are here to guide you and to walk with you through the ups and downs. We are here to listen and to lend you the therapies, wisdom, and protocols that we’ve gained mastery over through decades of study and clinical experience.
The saying “it takes a village” doesn’t apply solely to raising children; it is just as relevant to the healing process. Evolve is not only a wellness practice; it is a community. We welcome you and look forward to helping you along your journey to wellness. May you be well, and may you thrive in all that you do.
Yours in wellness,
