For You

Acupuncture and healing touch for people

Pain, poor sleep, stress, digestive issues: whatever brought you here, I look for your constitutional strengths and the root cause of the imbalance, not just the symptom. Every session, and every treatment plan, is designed for one person: you.

For Your Dog or Horse

Licensed animal acupuncture

I'm licensed for animal acupuncture in Maryland. Office visits for dogs; house calls for horses, senior dogs and dogs with mobility issues. It began with my own golden retriever, McKenna, and his story is worth a read.

Why Carol

About Carol Burke

I spent many years in allopathic medicine, working in adult clinical care as a nurse practitioner. I saw what Western medicine does well, and where it leaves people still searching.

That search led me to a deeper study of health and illness through mind-body touch therapies with internationally known teachers. In January 2006 I opened my own practice as a licensed acupuncturist in Annapolis, and I've never looked back.

In their words

Testimonials

"I was experiencing severe arm, wrist, and hand pain that was interfering with my work as a manual physical therapist. I had tried dry needling, massage, medicines, and nothing provided more than mild and very temporary relief. After 4 or 5 treatments with Carol my pain was gone, and months later, it's still gone. I send all of my patients to her."

K.B., Davidsonville, MD, manual physical therapist

"Best treatment for insomnia ever. On another planet and glad to be there. Sciatica gone."

J.M., Annapolis, MD

"Following a few treatments, my symptoms have become mere background noise. I'm sleeping well most nights for the first time in decades. I feel more peaceful, balanced, energized, and clear headed these days. I'm not cured of anything, but I have a new management tool, unlike others I've tried, and a new lease on life."
