Emily began her professional career by attending the prestigious AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine where she earned her Master's degree in Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture. While in school she began an internship at The Texas Center for Reproductive Acupuncture (TCRA) during which she had the opportunity to study under Kirsten Hurder-Karchmer, whose innovative leadership in fertility acupuncture stoked Emily's passion for helping couples.
Working at TCRA was career changing and provided Emily the platform to move to north Texas to open their Plano and Fort Worth locations where she served as the clinical director and senior fertility acupuncturist of both locations until 2012.During this time she was able to build strong client and doctor relationships as well as further expand her education in the field of fertility acupuncture, preconception healthcare, and nutrition.

I’ve been treated by Emily for a few years now. She’s truly amazing. She has helped me overcome severe depression, she has helped nurture and support my pregnancies, she’s been there for me through hardships and physical ailments and I’ve ALWAYS seen improvement under her care. She’s truly one of a kind, if anyone is skeptical about acupuncture I don’t blame you because like anything there’s good ones and not so good ones and I’m here to say Emily is TOP notch, I’m lucky to have her treating me! - Jacqueline

I went to Emily to help with my reactions to seasonal allergies and help during my third trimester of pregnancy! I had been dealing with increased heartburn, and getting little to no sleep each night because of it. Emily was EXTREMELY helpful in reducing the amount of heartburn I experienced each day. We had two appointments addressing the issues and then she also gave my husband and I a few pressure points to do if I had a flare up! It did wonders! I cannot tell you how important it is to have a full nights sleep again and the relief of not having that constant ache/burn in my chest all day &

Emily is beyond what you would hope for in a healing experience. The time she takes, how she listens, and her knowledge is top notch. I have been to other Acupuncturists and also find the unique type of Acupuncture she uses to be much more comfortable and effective. She is hands down, the best Acupuncturist around!!!

Emily Guevara worked with me through several fertility treatments, pregnancy, postpartum, and we continue to work on my general health. She is thoughtful, attentive, educational, and thorough. Emily has a very calming presence, as I believe she truly cares about your health. She thinks "outside the box" when more than just acupuncture may be recommended. I appreciate that when Emily makes a recommendation, she often follows up to see how it is working and/or if I need additional support. I consider Emily a key part to my health and trust her entirely. I cannot say enough good things and highly

I am over 50 (closer to 60), I’ve had a complete hysterectomy; and deal with low energy, depression, bladder issues and a myriad of complications from fibromyalgia. I was referred to Emily by my PTSD/Depression therapist. I was very nervous about being poked with needles but was seeking a noninvasive treatment, as little help is available through traditional medicine without creating additional negative issues. It’s as if I’ve won Publisher’s Clearing House jackpot! My outlook, attitude, energy level and bladder conditions, all are improved. Emily is detailed in collecting initial appointment

Emily is part of what I call my compassionate care team. I struggled for years until I found her and what a gift. I echo the same sentiments of other reviewers who laud her for her professionalism, honesty and ability to make you feel listened to. Two successful births to term with her care, and I continue to go to her for general health because she is that wonderful.

Emily is a phenomenal practitioner that I would recommend to anyone. From hormonal balance to stress management to musculoskeletal injury to energy work ... she covers it all! She listens to my body in a way that takes compassion, skill, and knowledge, and gives it the tools it needs to heal itself. Every time I see her, I leave feeling healthier and more at peace. I highly recommend scheduling an appointment!
