Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

Traditional eastern medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat people holistically, often addressing several (seemingly unrelated) symptoms at once to propel them forward into a healthier future, free from pain and prescriptions.

Acupuncture stimulates specific anatomical points in the body in order to clear energy (qi) blockages that can cause pain and illness. Such obstructions accrue through the course of daily life as a result of injury, emotional imbalance, poor diet, invasive surgery, inactivity, lack of rest, and chronic disease. By removing qi obstructions, increasing circulation, and reducing pain, acupuncture stimulates the body’s own innate healing mechanisms.

Emily Morris, ND, MSAOM, L.Ac.

Emily is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist at VWS. Dr. Morris focuses on patient-centered care with a background in nutrition, Naturopathic Medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. She was born and raised in Ohio and always wanted to be a part of the healthcare field. She discovered Naturopathic Medicine through her step-mom’s cancer journey while in high school. She was inspired by her Naturopathic Doctor’s holistic approach to medicine and decided this was her life’s calling. After graduating from The Ohio State University with a BS in Nutrition Sciences and a minor in Integrative Approaches to Health and Wellness, she moved across the country to pursue her Naturopathic Medicine degree at Bastyr University. Due to her experience working with an Oriental Medicine Doctor and multiple acupuncturists in college, she pursued a dual degree with a Master in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Throughout medical school, she was shaped into a physician and learned how to heal her own ailments with the help of holistic practices. Dr. Morris understands how devastating health issues can be and can relate especially to those who have experienced the loss of loved-ones from terminal illnesses.

With her background, Dr. Morris is a strong ally for a patient’s health journey. She will work together with her patients to find their barriers to healing, and discover personalized treatment plans that work with their resources, values, and beliefs.

With 5 years of camp counseling experience, she has also developed a clinical interest in working with teens and young adults. She provides integrative primary care and offers Western and Eastern healing modalities in addition to conventional diagnosis and treatment options. She loves herbalism, mind-body medicine, energetic medicine, nature-cure philosophy, and nutrition. Dr. Morris looks forward to meeting you!
