About Me

Laura A. Shin came to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture as a third area of study and a second career. Previously, she studied Forestry, then worked in the Publishing industry as an Editor. The common thread through all those things is a desire to help others achieve their best—whether in wellness or writing or in the case of trees, a healthy environment. She appreciates that TCM is a holistic medicine with thousands of years of efficacy. She uses all modalities available (herbs, cupping, gua sha, moxa, massage, electrical stimulation, light, and heat therapy, and of course, needles) to ensure everyone who comes to see her takes a big step on their healing journey. She was born curious and learned to read at the age of four and is always willing to try new modalities and approaches to health—whether Western and scientific, like Functional Medicine, or esoteric, like Energy Medicine. She is looking to add both of those approaches to her treatments in the coming months.
