Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine in Columbus, Ohio

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient healing system originating thousands of years ago. It understands and treats the human body as a complete and interconnected whole—body, mind, and spirit. Through a range of time-honored modalities, including acupuncture, TCM seeks to restore internal balance and harmony by addressing the root cause of disharmony, rather than merely treating symptoms.

Acupuncture is the use of fine, sterile needles gently inserted at specific points along the body’s meridians to regulate the flow of Qi (vital life force), activating the body’s natural healing processes and supporting overall well-being. Other ancient modalities alongside acupuncture, such as fire cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, and herbal supplements, are used to further results. Sessions are thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs—whether you're managing chronic conditions, navigating emotional challenges, hormonal challenges, or seeking preventative care , TCM helps enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, release toxins, and relieve pain.

What to Expect

  • Comfortable, tranquil setting
    Relax in a private, soothing room with dim lighting and soft, calming music to help ease your nervous system.

  • Heated treatment table
    The table is gently warmed to support muscle relaxation and overall comfort during your session.

  • Targeted heat therapy
    A TDP mineral lamp and red light therapy lamp warm specific areas of the body to enhance circulation and deepen your healing experience during your session.

  • Gentle, mostly painless needling
    Ultra-fine, sterile acupuncture needles are used with care—most insertions are painless or barely noticeable, often bringing a sense of calm or lightness. Anything you feel goes away after a couple deep breaths.

  • Restorative rest time
    After the needles are placed, you'll rest undisturbed for 20-30 minutes while your body moves into a healing, parasympathetic state.

  • Customized treatment
    Sessions may include additional modalities such as fire cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, or herbal recommendations, depending on your unique needs and goals. Handouts may accompany recommendations.

  • Compassionate, patient-centered care
    Sasha creates a safe and grounded space for healing while explaining as much, or as little, as you’d like to further support and empower you in your health journey and meet you where you are.

Testimonials

  • PCOS, PMS, acid reflux & acu

    ‘After keeping regular appointments I started feeling results. Less PCOS pain, less PMS symptoms with easier cycles. With feeling better I could focus on GERD and that even started being less intense… I would say go for it! Just try it! …I was terrified, and it has been one of the two best things I've done for my body!’

  • chronic migraines

    ‘I came to Sasha for help with migraine treatment and I have been overwhelmed by the rapid and effective success of the treatments. I have had significant and sustained relief after only three treatments and have maintained the relief with weekly/biweekly treatments. I cannot recommend Sasha enough!’

    - Anna S

  • chronic pain

    ‘Nothing seemed to help for very long and I didn’t want to resort to strong arthritis medications forever. Each acupuncture session brought relief… The time spent in the treatment room was very calm and relaxing. Sasha was very thorough in her examination. Before the session I was hesitant and a little scared. After the session, I felt more relaxed and was eager to come back.’

    - Pam W

  • fertility post miscarriage

    ‘To Sasha, it wasn’t a matter of IF I’d get pregnant, but WHEN. Sure enough, three months of weekly treatments later, I was pregnant with my son. I will continue seeing Sasha well into the pregnancy and beyond. I had no expectations for what acupuncture would be like going in, but my mind, body and spirit were blown wide open.’

    - Emily L

  • shoulder pain

    ‘Sasha has been fantastic. I went the route through orthopedics and honestly it didn’t help at all… She’s been able to alleviate almost all of my shoulder pain (was told I would most likely need surgery from my orthopedic) and tendonitis in my wrists and forearms. I still go about once a month to keep everything from regressing and she always takes great care of me. I would and have recommended her to anyone I know.’
