Welcome to Harding Acupuncture Center where we use acupuncture, massage, and Chinese medicine to treat you in a holistic way. It's all about Quality of Life!. Holding space is a practice of non-judgement through the grace of acceptance. To accept ourselves is a deeply healing practice, which can be difficult, but not impossible.
To accept another with all their so-called faults is a doorway to heaven within this world. Heaven or nirvana is the state of absolute surrender to peace through love. Love is a state of unity with the divine. All these words try to describe that which is beyond description. The reason for the creation of this work is to remind ourselves of our journey, and its purpose.

I have been involved in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, and massage for more than 15 years. I can empathize and understand your health issues since I have gone through serious illnesses myself. It was through those health issues that I became interested in the health field and more so in alternative medicine.
A randomized, controlled trial conducted by the University of Maryland School of Medicine suggests that acupuncture can provide effective pain relief and improve function for osteoarthritis of the knee. Symptoms of bronchial asthma were markedly improved after acupuncture treatments, and the dosage of patients' medication was gradually reduced.
Your acupuncture appointment starts with a specialized diagnosis including a tongue and pulse check, development of a treatment, Therapeutic Massage*, insertion of needles, and a relaxing 20-30 minutes listening to soothing music. Your treatment may also include infra-red heat lamps, Cupping, Gua Sha, Electro-Acupuncture, or Moxibusion.

My chiropractor recommended Tom when I was having knee pain that chiropractic wasn’t healing quickly enough. He was amazing and after a few visits I was much better. In the past few years I’ve used him mostly for massages which are wonderful. I did go to him for acupuncture in January when my asthma was acting up and I felt it helped a lot. Tom is knowledgeable, professional, and has magic hands. I always feel much better after I see him. I can’t recommend him enough!

I have been receiving massage for more than fifty years and have never had a more wonderful experience than receiving massage from Thomas Harding. He is simply a master of acupressure massage and has an uncanny sense of how to touch. I also appreciate his calm and supportive personality. He is just the best!

I'm a fan of deep-tissue massage, but have found that many therapists who claim to practice it really can't massage very deeply. Tom is fantastic at deep-tissue massage, so I have been patronizing his business for at least 10 years now, if not more. In addition to being a skilled massage therapist, he is also great at acupuncture (I've tried that several times). Finally, Tom is just an all-around great person. I highly recommend him.

I have been to the clinic many times and have worked through issues such as nerve damage, muscle and ligament issues, and managing stress. I highly recommend Harding Acupuncture.

Due to chronic pain from fibromyalgia, I have been coming to Thomas Harding for acupuncture and massage twice a month the past 18 months. Thanks to Tom’s efforts, my pain levels have decreased and my mobility has improved. Tom is very knowledgeable. He is able to use a number of different techniques to find the best treatment for my pain. He always seems to find my sorest muscles and be able to work deeply enough to ease the tenseness and pain. Tom’s very concerned about my well-being and my feeling the best I possibly can. I highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for acupuncture or massage

Tom is a compassionate and skilled healer. I have see him countless times for acupuncture and massage: sometimes to relieve physical issues, other times to dissipate stress/anxiety and connect with inner peace. He effortlessly finds my sore spots, and is able to help me release pain in these areas. Through the wisdom he has shared about Chinese Medicine, I have a bettering understanding of my body and live a more balanced life. I have a deep level of respect and trust for Tom, and am thankful to be able to work with him in this capacity.
