Brittany is committed to working with others in partnership to achieve balance and wellness with the goal of feeling at home in the body. Awareness is a fundamental principle of healthy living. Acupuncture can awaken the body, mind, and spirit to achieve peace and ease throughout one’s journey. She is passionate about integrating acupuncture with other modalities of health and wellness to achieve harmony. Brittany is a licensed acupuncturist in the state of Maryland and a NADA detoxification specialist. She received her Master of Acupuncture and Doctorate of Oriental Medicine from Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH). Therapies in her acupuncture scope of practice include: needling, moxibustion, cupping, guasha and acupoint vibration therapy. Moxibustion is the use of the herb mugwort which is lit and used to warm and heal. Cupping uses suction cups along acupuncture meridians or areas of tension to release muscle constraint and stress. Guasha is the use of a jade stone rubbed along the surface of the skin to stimulate that area and initiate healing. And acupoint vibration therapy is the use of tuning forks carrying vibrations through acupuncture points to stimulate the area and allow for healing and growth.
