Meet Your Acupuncturist
I'm Sasha Bruno, Licensed Acupuncturist and founder of Nu Wave Acupuncture in Columbus, Ohio.
My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began in 2015, following my undergraduate studies in Anthropology at Boston University. I've always been fascinated by people, culture, and the ways we understand and experience the world. I was drawn to Chinese Medicine not only for its holistic, individualized approach to health, but also for its rich cultural history, Eastern philosophy, and thousands of years of observation and practice. The more I learned, the more it transformed the way I understood my own body, health, and relationship with others and the world around me. What began as an interest quickly became a way of life.
In 2017, I founded Botanibites, a small business inspired by my passion for herbal medicine, digestive health, and wellness. After selling the business in 2021, I completed my Master's degree in Acupuncture at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine (AIAM). I became nationally board certified and licensed to practice acupuncture in Ohio in 2022, and opened Nu Wave Acupuncture in 2023. Today, I maintain an active clinical practice specializing in pain, women's health, fertility, hormonal imbalances, migraines, and digestive health.
My greatest passion is sharing the wisdom and foundational principles of Chinese Medicine with others seeking a deeper understanding of their health and well-being. What I find so powerful about TCM is that it offers an entirely different way of understanding the body and health as a whole. Rather than viewing the body as a collection of separate parts and symptoms, it teaches us to recognize patterns, understand the interconnectedness of our systems, and appreciate our relationship with the natural world. In Chinese Medicine, we are viewed as microcosms of the universe, deeply influenced by the same rhythms and natural forces that shape the world around us. It offers a perspective on health that extends far beyond the treatment room, inviting us to consider how our daily habits, environment, and lifestyle influence our well-being.
Through my virtual offerings, I share the knowledge, philosophy, and practical tools of Chinese Medicine to help make this ancient wisdom accessible and relevant to modern life. Drawing on my formal education, clinical experience, and personal relationship with this medicine, my goal is to empower you to understand your body on a deeper level, approach your health with greater awareness, and discover how incorporating these principles into everyday life can create meaningful transformation.
This medicine has profoundly changed mine. My hope is that it changes yours, too.
A deeper understanding of your health starts here.
I believe Traditional Chinese Medicine has the power to fundamentally change the way we understand our bodies and approach our health. Rooted in thousands of years of observation, philosophy, and practice, Eastern Medicine provides a holistic perspective that transforms our understanding of health and relationship with the natural world, empowering us to take control of our health, live more intentionally, and cultivate lasting well-being.
Through my clinical practice, I've seen how transformative this medicine can be. But there's so much more to Chinese Medicine than what can be explored during an acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture allows people to experience Chinese Medicine; education allows them to understand it, apply it, and incorporate it into their lifestyle.
I created these virtual offerings to make the deeper foundations, philosophy, and wisdom of TCM more accessible, giving you the opportunity to learn, explore, and put these principles into practice in your everyday life to transform your health journey.
My goal is to help you:
Recognize patterns and imbalances utilizing TCM diagnostic tools to better understand your body's natural signals.
Understand the philosophy and foundations of health and imbalance through the lens of Chinese Medicine.
Make more informed decisions about your health, lifestyle, and daily habits by viewing things through the lens of Eastern Medicine.
Incorporate time-honored practices that support balance and overall well-being into your daily life for better balance and improved unique to you.
Ultimately, I want to give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take your health back into your own hands. By understanding your body and learning how to work with it rather than against it, you can move beyond simply managing symptoms and become an active participant in transforming your health and the way you live.

Remote Acutherapy Testimonials

regular cycles / sleep
I was skeptical, and have never done acupuncture before, but I trust Sasha. We only did maybe like 3 or 4 weekly sessions till I noticed the big shifts. BIG immediate change was my period cycle. My period and its irregularity was just something I'd gotten used to over the years. Some of the points we worked on were related to this and I swear to god I had my first 28 day cycle in YEARS - I can't even remember the last time. I've also been sleeping a lot better, almost back to a regular sleeping schedule. I think you won't really know if something works for you until you try it and I'm really grateful that I did.

stress / sleep
The magnets felt incredible and gave an immediate sense of relaxation and put me in a calm state. I noticed improved sleep with less waking up or feeling restless at night. I gained a lot of insight from the sessions and learned how to use alternative techniques to reduce the need for nightly meds or melatonin.

Remote acupuncture has been a great experience for me and has improved my quality of life in so many ways. Just to mention a few benefits that remote acupuncture has achieved in my life: better stress management, better sleep, and reduced frequency of nighttime urination. I absolutely recommend Sasha's services to anyone who wants to try the natural way - she is very knowledgeable and will always help you, even if you bring new problems every day like me! ;)
