Services
The body is traversed by a network of energy conduits referred to as meridians, vessels, or channels. Acupuncture needling connects with QI through specific sites along the channel where QI can be measured to pool. By stimulating and directing the flow of QI, the body's innate healing force is directed to internal organs, external sense organs, muscles, tissues, tendons, bone, and the fluids of the body.
Chinese medicine is based on influences of the immediate time frame in relation to a particular person and what is therapeutically best at a particular juncture. In Chinese medicine there is no one-size-fits-all diagnosis or cure; we necessarily assess in the moment. It is easy to belong to a group or way of thinking where there are fundamental rules of what to do, take, and how to eat.
These policies are straight-forward and firm. As part of my practice, each patient assumes compliance. CANCELLATION POLICY Should you require to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide a minimum of 24 hours notice prior to the appointment. If you are 20 minutes or more late, your appointment is technically considered cancelled.

Wendy's experience and knowledge about acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and the human body are extensive. I truly enjoy each visit with her and always leave feeling better than when I walked through the door. The space is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend anyone seeking treatment to reach out to her.

Wendy is a truly gifted and experienced healer. Every acupuncture treatment with her begins with her attentive listening. That is one of her gifts. I first saw Wendy with an acute onset of extreme pain that had basically flattened me. She saw me the day I reached out to her and I left the first session feeling significant relief. Every time I’ve seen Wendy I feel an energetic shift. One that I haven’t felt with other modalities or even other acupuncture treatments I’ve received. Those shifts have activated my body’s own healing process and abilities. I also have a sense of calm trust and

I had my first (and best) acupuncture experience with Wendy and I was hooked ever since. The amount of de-qi sensation on each point and success after the visit are incomparable to other acupuncturist I've seen (Sadly I no longer live in Asheville). After just one session I no longer had any elbow pain, and had some other issues helped as well. Definitely worth it.

This was my first experience with acupuncture and it far exceeded my expectations. Wendy has a true gift for healing beyond just treating a specific pain; she takes the time to get to know you and assesses your overall well being and offers fantastic insights to get you feeling better. Meeting with her for acupuncture has been the highlight of my week the last few weeks and I am looking forward to being a long time patient of hers. Definitely recommend to anyone curious about acupuncture. Thanks, Wendy!!

Wendy’s knowledge and expertise about acupuncture is remarkable! She completely changed my life with her lifestyle advice, diet expertise, knowledge and implementation of Chinese herbs & needling, & friendly, warm conversation. I cannot truly put into words what it is like learning & healing from Wendy; she is a never-ending wealth of knowledge in her craft!!! She is welcoming, respectful, & competent. In just a couple months, my neck & shoulder tension went from a pain scale of 10 to a 2. Wendy truly invests her time & effort into her patients & it has been clear from day one! I recommend her
