About Carly
My path into acupuncture began not as a practitioner, but as a patient.
With a background in kinesiology and physical therapy, I was already deeply interested in how the body moves and heals. That understanding became personal when I turned to acupuncture for chronic migraines and during my recovery from two knee surgeries. Experiencing firsthand the relief, balance, and support acupuncture provided was transformative - and ultimately inspired me to pursue this work so I could help others on their healing journeys.
Today, I practice as a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine with a genuine passion for holistic, patient-centered care. I integrate movement-based understanding with Eastern medicine to support the body’s natural healing processes, whether someone is recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking balance through hormonal or cosmetic care.
My goal is to help patients feel supported, informed, and empowered - both during treatment and beyond the clinic.
Areas of Focus
-
Acupuncture and holistic support to help restore hormonal balance, regulate cycles, and ease symptoms related to stress, fertility, and life transitions.
-
A natural, non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation that supports skin health, circulation, and overall vitality from the inside out.
-
Gentle, targeted acupuncture to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes for long-term relief.
-
Integrative care focused on injury recovery, joint health, and performance support to help you heal, move better, and return to activity safely.
Philosophy of Care
My philosophy of care is rooted in treating the whole person - not just symptoms. I believe healing happens when the body is supported through thoughtful, individualized care that blends movement, Eastern medicine, and compassionate listening.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor each treatment to the individual, supporting not only symptom relief, but improved function, resilience, and overall quality of life.
What Patients Can Expect
Patients often leave treatments feeling more balanced, supported, and informed, with a clearer understanding of their body and practical tools they can use between sessions.
My goal is not only short-term relief, but long-term improvement in resilience, movement, and overall well-being - so patients feel empowered in their healing both inside and outside the clinic.
