Alexandra McBryde, DSOM, LAc (she/her)
Alexandra is currently on maternity leave.
The body has a homeodynamic intelligence that knows how to restore balance. With an integrative system of holistic medicine, we remind the body of this knowledge and nudge it back towards wholeness. In service of this inherent knowing, I offer a blend of Classical Chinese Medicine—both acupuncture and herbal therapy, cranialsacral, applied qigong, mindfulness-based practices, and flower essences.
Education
I hold a Doctorate of Science in Oriental Medicine (DSOM) and a Master’s of Science in Integrative Mental Health from the National University of Natural Medicine. I have studied within the Shen-Hammer lineage of pulse diagnosis since 2015.
