At HealingWisdom Medicine, we offer Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine; both a highly sophisticated medical therapy and healing art form in the prevention and treatment of pain and illness. Health is sustained on a physiological, psychological and spiritual level through the body's profound and innate ability to understand, create, and maintain wellness.
The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that bodily functions are regulated by an energy called Qi which flows through the body; disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. Chinese medical diagnosis reflects the ability to integrate the multiple symptoms of person's suffering into a coherent and at times surprisingly simple explanation.

Emily Cooper, MPH, MOM, L.Ac is a licensed Chinese Medicine Practitioner on Farragut Square, in NorthWest Washington DC. She holds a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Maryland, and a Master of Oriental Medicine degree from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, a Western pioneer in the transmission of the 5,000 year old art of Classical Chinese Acupuncture.
Your first appointment will allow for a comprehensive health interview and also your first treatment. Together, you and Emily will explore your medical and social history as well as body systems and lifestyle habits, design your goals for treatment, and discuss your need for support, symptoms, history, where you are thriving and where you are struggling.
After practicing as an in-network clinician for many years, Emily chose to no longer accept insurance in 2019. As a practitioner who endeavors to provide the very best and most effective care for her patients' nuanced physical, emotional and spiritual needs, she felt continuing as an in-network practitioner with insurance companies became prohibitive of fully and effectively meeting and caring for her patients' varied and dynamic needs.

I have had issues with Plantar Fasciitis and knotted muscles in my neck and back for couple years. I've tried massage therapy, a chiropractor and sports massage and although I might get relief for a few days, the pain always returned. At my first appointment with Emily, I cannot tell you what a relief it was to wake up pain free every morning since.
Emily is AMAZING!!!
