Emily Cooper, MPH, MAc, L.Ac is a licensed Chinese Medicine practitioner. She holds a Masters of Acupuncture degree and Certificate in Chinese Herbal Medicine from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, a Western pioneer in the transmission of the 5,000 year old art of Classical Chinese Acupuncture.

Classical Chinese Medicine is comprised of a complex system of examination, diagnosis, and treatment. It is the longest existing continuous medical system practiced in the world, informed by more than 5,000 years of observations of the human body, mind, and spirit. The modality views the body as an energetic system in dynamic transition between balance and imbalance.

Thus, whether the treatment goal is to explore and dissolve the root cause of severe back pain or migraine headaches, or it is coping with an emotional distress such as depression or anxiety, a culture of mutual inquiry and discovery guides progress towards physical, spiritual, and mental healing in her treatment room. A growing awareness of the ways in which we hold and carry ourselves through life circumstance serve as profound medicine to the patient. It is within this philosophical and medical paradigm that Emily also incorporates wellness coaching and nutritional counseling into her primary treatment modalities of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.
