ABOUT ME

Stacy Hewitt, L.Ac. | Acupuncturist & Licensed Massage Therapist in Carrboro, NC

Experienced Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Practitioner Serving Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Durham and Hillsborough

Choosing an acupuncturist is an important decision. Experience, education, clinical training and an understanding of the body all play an important role in providing thoughtful, individualized care.

I’m Stacy Hewitt, a licensed acupuncturist and licensed massage therapist with more than 15 years of acupuncture experience and over 30 years of massage therapy experience. Through my practice, Acupuncture Health Company, I combine traditional Chinese medicine, classical and Japanese acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and therapeutic bodywork to help people improve their health, recover from injuries and enjoy life to the fullest.

My approach is built around understanding each person’s individual needs rather than applying the same treatment to everyone.

Education and Professional Credentials

I completed a four-year graduate program in acupuncture at Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in North Carolina, where I received extensive training in classical Chinese medicine, acupuncture theory, diagnosis and clinical practice.

I am licensed to practice acupuncture in North Carolina and hold a separate North Carolina license in massage and bodywork therapy.

My professional credentials include:

• Licensed Acupuncturist, North Carolina

• Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist, North Carolina

• Graduate of the four-year Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine acupuncture program

• National certification in acupuncture through NCCAOM

• Graduate of the Carolina School of Massage Therapy

Advanced Clinical Training

In addition to my formal education, I have pursued extensive postgraduate training to deepen my understanding of Chinese medicine and its application to modern health concerns.

My advanced training includes:

• Women’s health and gynecological conditions

• Fertility and reproductive health

• Digestive health and gastrointestinal disorders

• Orthopedic acupuncture and musculoskeletal injuries

• Sports medicine and pain management

• Classical Chinese acupuncture

• Japanese acupuncture techniques

• Dr. Tan’s Balance Method and Master Tung’s acupuncture

• Stress, anxiety and sleep disorders

• Chinese herbal medicine

• Pediatric Chinese medicine

This continued education allows me to draw from multiple acupuncture traditions and clinical approaches when developing an individualized treatment plan.

The Advantage of Combining Acupuncture and Massage Therapy

One of the things that distinguishes my clinical approach is my background in both acupuncture and therapeutic massage.

With more than 30 years of massage therapy experience, I have developed an extensive understanding of muscular anatomy, soft tissue dysfunction, movement patterns and musculoskeletal injuries.

This hands-on experience complements my acupuncture training, particularly when working with people experiencing chronic pain, muscle tension, orthopedic conditions and sports-related injuries.

Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, I consider how the muscles, joints, nervous system and overall health may be contributing to a person’s discomfort.

Teaching and Continued Professional Development

I also teach clinical skills at an acupuncture college in North Carolina.

Teaching allows me to remain actively engaged with the study and practice of acupuncture while continuing to share clinical knowledge with future practitioners.

I believe that good healthcare requires lifelong learning. I continue to explore traditional Chinese medicine and modern clinical approaches to provide thoughtful, informed care.

My Approach to Patient Care

At Acupuncture Health Company, I believe effective healthcare begins with listening.

Every person comes to treatment with a different history, set of concerns and health goals. I take the time to understand those concerns and develop an approach that reflects the individual rather than simply treating a diagnosis.

My goal is to help people feel better, move more comfortably, improve their health and get back to enjoying the activities and experiences that make life meaningful.
