How We Help You Heal
Our board certified acupuncturists are experts in all modalities of Chinese medicine. At your appointment, any needed modalities are utilized to promote the best possible medical outcome for your condition.
Acupuncture
Tiny needles deliver big results. Acupuncture is the shallow insertion of sterile and filiform needles, releasing endorphins, increasing circulation, and promoting autonomic balance. Learn more about our acupuncture services.
Cupping
Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine utilizes hundreds of herbs and combinations of herbs to provide highly specific treatments for many symptoms. Our board certified herbalists can create exactly the right formula for your constipation, IBS, allergies, PMS, dysmenorrhea, or many other health concerns. Learn more about how we treat with herbal medicine.
Moxibustion
Gua sha
Similar to cupping, Gua Sha is a manual therapy for pain relief. A stone tool is pushed along the skin to release adhesions in soft tissue. The result? Pain relief, increased circulation, and faster healing. Learn more about how we treat with gua sha.
Nutrition
We offer TCM nutrition counseling based on eating with the seasons, preparing whole foods, and using food as medicine. Learn more how we help with nutrition and wellness planning.
Is Acupuncture Covered By Insurance?
The cost of treatment varies depending on your insurance plan. We are in-network with CareFirst/BlueCross and Aetna. You may also have out-of-network benefits with United or another insurer. We are happy to check your insurance benefits for you.

Supporting Your Health & Wellness
Cherry Blossom Healing arts has been a godsend—especially in the pandemic
I have been seeing Elyse since 2014 for various ailments. I love that CBHA's philosophy is to work in tandem with western medicine—it is great to see a holistic approach! Elyse served as a welcome respite in 2017 when I had ophthalmologic shingles. After the shingles past, I still have recurring nerve tingles/pain through my head and face. When I approached my doctor, she said that pain is not common but totally normal, and I could experience it for the rest of my life.
The pain was uncomfortable and not in a manageable place. Elyse has worked through not only acupuncture but also herbs to make this pain manageable. In the pandemic—I experienced anxiety, sleep issues, and the recurrence of pain. While I could not come in for acupuncture, Elyse worked via telemedicine to help get my sleep on track and ease my anxiety through herbs.
I have been very impressed how CBHA has deployed technology to meet the needs of their patients and ensure that our well-being comes first.
