Bios
I first experienced acupuncture in the treatment of my neck and low back pain. I was hit behind in a car accident when I was a teenager and struggled with the pain for years. Acupuncture services were not covered by my insurance and out-of-pocket costs were simply not affordable. Fortunately, I found a sliding scale community acupuncture clinic in Ashland, Oregon.
My results were wonderful. I began to really see my pain reduce, and I started to regain my health. I’ll be forever grateful for how this clinic made it accessible enough for me to receive their care.
It followed that I decided to go to acupuncture school, and decided on the same school where my acupuncturists graduated from in Honolulu.
After graduating from World Medicine Institute in Honolulu in 2013, I was able to gain a lot of experience in the community before relocating to Washington. I decided to treat patients in the same affordable way as I once received.
I began providing detox and addiction treatments at Hale Na’au Pono on the Waianae coast, became owner and acupuncturist of Honolulu Community Acupuncture at Hawaii Integrative Health, and a clinical supervisor for student interns.
Skagit Community Acupuncture in Burlington was the first clinic I started providing services for in Washington, which I began in the Summer of 2017.
After seeing dozens of patients per week and hundreds per year , I’m continually amazed at what acupuncture can do for patients. We don’t need to spend an inordinate amount of time with you to give you proper care. We need just enough time. When patients can afford to come back as much as they need to get the results they want, then the ancient and enduring art of acupuncture gets a chance to shine.
I look forward to working with you here in beautiful Bellingham, WA!
MEET OUR NEW ACUPUNCTURE INTERN!
Haley DeMarco is a third year acupuncture student studying Chinese medicine and herbs. She began this pursuit at the New England School of Acupuncture (Worcester, MA), and is currently finishing her education at Bastyr University (Seattle, WA). She received her BA in Environmental Studies in 2014 at the University of Vermont (Burlington, VT), with a minor in Psychology and Music.
Haley grew up in a family of holistic health practitioners. Her mother is a Certified Classical Homeopath, and her grandfather, Dr. Roger Callahan, is the founder of Thought Field Therapy (TFT). For Haley, “alternative” medicine was never alternative.
For the first 20 years of her life, she experienced chronic gastrointestinal issues. Conventional, “Western” medicine brought her no relief from her symptoms. She finally began to heal after visiting an acupuncturist. This led her to pursue an internship with that acupuncturist, and dedicated the next several years to studying the medicine.
In addition to acupuncture, Haley also incorporates Chinese herbalism, tui na massage, acupressure, cupping and gemmotherapy. Her specialties are in women's health and sports medicine.
