- Joanne Weinman,
Licensed Acupuncturist
I have a Masters in Acupuncture (Over 2700 hours of study) from the nationally recognized TAI SOPHIA Institute in Laurel, Maryland. It was the first school of acupuncture in the United States. I am licensed by the Virginia Department of Medical Professions and hold the Diplomate in Acupuncture credential from the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine that is a requirement for a license to practice in the Commonwealthh of Virginia. And, I am a member of the Acupuncture Society of Virginia. Additionally, I have taken advanced studies in herbal medicine, and I am certified in Acupuncture Detoxification Protocols. Also, I am required to take courses that provide a minimum of 60 continuing education every four years to maintain my Virginia License.

This is a second career for me. Having enjoyed the many benefits of acupuncture myself, I resolved to share with others my growth in wellness and well being by become an acupuncturist. People of diverse backgrounds who want to achieve and maintain a healthful and more balanced lifestyle are welcome to my practice.
Prior to becoming an acupuncturist, I enjoyed more than 20 years career experience in the field of health in the U.S. and around the world grounded in 39 years practicing meditation. Now I use my skills to partner with clients who seek to be pain free, healthy, and happy.
Although I was born and raised in upstate New York (Rochester), I subsequently moved to North Central Florida and lived there for 14 years. During my time there, I completed my first Masters
Degree. I moved to Northern Virginia in 1988 after returning to the U.S. from living and working in Central Africa (The Democratic Republic of the Congo) where I worked in maternal & child health, women's health, and HIV/AIDS prevention and education for various organizations including the U.S. Agency for International Health and the Centers for Disease Control.
