Lindsey Lawson practices East Asian medicine, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Oriental bodywork, infrared therapy, and Shamanic healing. Her practice has a special emphasis on acupuncture and Chinese herbs to treat women’s health issues (including fertility, pregnancy and post-partum care), pain and musculoskeletal issues (including injury from car accidents), endocrine imbalances and trauma. She received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Acupuncture from Bastyr University, Seattle in 1999. She completed advanced herbal training at Shanghai University, Chengdu University and their affiliated hospitals. She also has a certificate in Acutonics™, or sound therapy.
Lindsey's acupuncture treatments focus both on relieving symptoms, as well as healing illness from it's root. She believes that Eastern medicine and Western medicine are looking at the same problem from two different angles, and are invaluable when used together to create a more complete picture. She seeks to educate her patients on ways to live a harmonious life through diet, exercise, and small changes. The ultimate goal is to prevent illness.Her education in Natural Medicine began at an early age with a love of nature, medicinal plants, and food. Study of the body continued in high school and college through numerous sports, both individual and team. A torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) in her knee, was followed by 3 reconstructive surgeries through age 19. The experience spurred her to pursue a career in alternative medicine at Bastyr University and prompted her move to Seattle from the Buffalo area.
