Chinese Medicine
Revy is a licensed Chinese Medicine Practitioner & Acupuncturist.
She received her master’s degree in Oriental Medicine from Kootenay Columbia College of Integrative Health Sciences in a little mountain town in British Columbia, where she logged over 3,000 hours of class time and 500+ clinic hours. She’s nationally board-certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and licensed by the state of North Carolina.
Her special interests within the field include Taoism, Chinese history/culture/philosophy, martial arts, the Mandarin language, & the psycho-emotional realm.
Revy is continually exploring how to be in right relationship with this ancient medical system which originated in a culture different from her own. As Chinese medicine is an immensely rich & vast system, Revy will continue to deepen her relationship to it for the rest of her life.
Chinese medicine is an ancient medical system that has evolved over thousands of years and is deeply rooted in restoring harmony to the body, mind, & spirit.
It’s a true holistic medicine, taking into account the entire ecosystem & context of a person. What this means is that sessions are never just a band-aid… we work together to actually address the root of issues. Working together will be more than “fixing” a “problem” but more restoring you to a state of health & harmony, which is your natural state.

My Approach
Working together is a collaboration. My job is to hold you in a safe, spacious container while we explore your goals & symptoms in a holistic context. I also give you tools to take your health into your own hands as much as you’d like to.
I employ multiple modalities of Chinese medicine as needed, including acupuncture, herbal remedies, cupping, moxibustion, dietary therapy, & qigong. If you’re not comfortable with being needled, there are plenty of other therapeutic methods.
