The people make the difference.

A Licensed Acupuncturist and graduate of the inaugural class of Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 1987, Gordon has spent his career studying and integrating a broad range of therapeutic disciplines, including acupuncture, functional medicine, bodywork, Vector Point Cranial Therapy, nervous-system regulation, and energy medicine.

That experience shaped a whole-person approach to care - one that looks beyond isolated symptoms to consider the many factors that influence how someone feels and functions. His particular interest in the effects of chronic stress also led him to develop techniques designed to calm the nervous system and support healthy vagus nerve function.

Gordon co-founded the Victoria Merkle Center of Energy Medicine, where he taught for 28 years, and Blue Buddha Therapeutics, an organic herbal company focused on innovative topical formulations.

RegenexMed is a natural evolution of that work: bringing decades of hands-on clinical experience into the same environment as advanced medical and regenerative technologies.

For Gordon, technology is a tool. The person always comes first.

Victoria founded the Victoria Merkle School of Energy Medicine in Encinitas, California, where she spent decades training hundreds of practitioners at foundational and advanced levels. Her work has centered on understanding the human energetic system and translating that understanding into practical, hands-on approaches to health and well-being.

She holds a doctorate in Human Sciences from New Mexico Theological Seminary and collaborated with the University of California, San Diego on research examining hands-on healing with breast cancer patients.

Victoria is also a co-author of The Turning Point with Jack Canfield and is writing a series of books on energy medicine, including a comprehensive handbook intended for future educational programs. Together with Gordon, she co-developed Transdermal Synergy(TM), the topical delivery system used throughout the Blue Buddha Therapeutics product line.

At RegenexMed, Victoria brings the perspective of forty years spent working at the intersection of physical health, stress, the nervous system, and the human experience of healing.

Her philosophy helped shape the clinic itself: advanced technology and whole-person care do not have to exist in separate worlds.

RegenexMed brings them together.

Since 2021, Gil has worked extensively with EBOO technology and has trained nurses, physicians, and clinical teams in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

His education includes extensive professional training in ozonotherapy, IV therapy, and related regenerative medicine technologies, including a 1,200-hour program in ozonotherapy. He also completed a bachelor's-level nursing program in Mexico and continues to pursue advanced education as EBOO techniques and technologies evolve.

Gil's approach to EBOO education extends well beyond equipment operation. His training emphasizes understanding equipment function, extracorporeal circuit behavior, procedural workflow, technical troubleshooting, and recognizing situations that require evaluation or intervention by the appropriate licensed healthcare professional.

At RegenexMed, Gil serves as an EBOO Technical Trainer & Educator, working alongside the clinic's licensed healthcare professionals and within established clinical protocols.

His educational work is focused on helping healthcare professionals develop a practical, technically informed understanding of EBOO technology, its operation, and the procedural considerations necessary for consistent and well-managed clinical implementation.

She earned her B.A. in Psychology from Wellesley College, followed by an Ed.M. and Ed.D. in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University, and completed a postdoctoral seminar in neuropsychology at Harvard Medical School. Before entering clinical work, she spent more than two decades in academic research and teaching, contributing to developmental psychology research through Wellesley College, Brown University, and the Harvard School of Public Health and teaching at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

In 2015, Marjorie moved to California to work with the late Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, M.D., developer of laser-activated VSEL technology. At Qigenix, she progressed from Assistant Clinic Coordinator to Clinic Coordinator and later served as Director of Clinical Research. Her work included daily clinic operations, VSEL procedures under the direction of medical staff, traveling clinics, protocol development, and practitioner education.

She wrote the VSEL training manual used to prepare licensed practitioners and helped organize and co-lead physician training in the protocols.

At RegenexMed, Marjorie brings that experience directly to patients - helping them understand the VSEL process, what to expect, and how it fits within the clinic's broader approach to regenerative and integrative care.

Her background includes critical-care dialysis, vascular access, and IV therapy - experience where careful monitoring, technical precision, and sound clinical judgment are essential.

She has performed EBOO since 2025 at two Southern California clinics, working with setup, vascular access, circuit monitoring, and patient care throughout treatment. Outside the clinic, she also operates a mobile IV practice providing specialty IV therapy in patients' homes.

Dotty earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at St. Joseph College of Nursing in Joliet, Illinois, now part of the University of St. Francis. She is also a certified health coach and certified yoga teacher.

Those different disciplines show up in the way she cares for patients: technically precise, attentive to the whole person, and calm throughout the treatment experience.

She began her career as a licensed aesthetician before becoming a registered nurse, giving her nearly two decades of combined experience across the aesthetic and clinical fields.

As a nurse, Jamie added close to a decade of perioperative experience across pre-operative, circulating, and post-anesthesia recovery settings. That background provides a strong foundation in patient safety, sterile technique, careful assessment, and calm management of the treatment environment.

At RegenexMed, Jamie brings her combined background in clinical nursing and aesthetics to a team that works collaboratively across the clinic's services.

She graduated from Brighton College, formerly Kaplan, in 2017 and holds current ACLS, BLS, and PALS certifications.

Jamie combines clinical precision with a warm, attentive approach to patient care. Her ability to bring together strong clinical judgment, attention to detail, and genuine connection makes her a natural fit for the collaborative approach at RegenexMed.

She began as a phlebotomist in 2001, became a licensed vocational nurse in 2006, earned her RN at West Coast University in 2010, and went on to work in infusion centers, urgent care, home health, and regenerative medicine clinics.

Ayda also brings seven years of direct experience with VSEL therapy. From 2016 through 2023, she served as a staff RN at Qigenix in Carlsbad, working with Dr. Todd Ovokaitys and the clinical team caring for patients undergoing laser-activated VSEL treatments. Her responsibilities included IV placement, EKGs, treatment administration, patient monitoring, and working with physicians on patient care.

During those years, Ayda and the Qigenix team gained extensive hands-on experience with the practical aspects of VSEL treatment through thousands of patient visits.

Patients have their own name for her: "One-stick Ayda."
