Ancient Medicine | Modern Insight | Sacred Care

Care that honors your unique healing path.

Moon River Acupuncture is a sanctuary shaped by the quiet rhythms of nature and the deep wisdom of Classical Chinese Medicine. Inspired by the steady, soothing flow of a moonlit river, the practice honors the truth that healing is not linear—it moves, shifts, and unfolds in cycles, much like the waxing and waning moon. The river mirrors the movement of qi and blood in the body, while the moon reflects our innate cycles of rest, renewal, and feminine wisdom. Created as a place to soften, arrive, and reconnect, Moon River offers thoughtful, whole-person care where ancient medicine meets modern integrative insight.

“Healing does not mean going back to the way things were before, but rather allowing what is now to move us closer to wholeness.”

— Ram Dass

“Ashlee really knows her stuff, inside and out - literally! Western born, Eastern trained, she brings the best of both worlds together to relieve stubborn symptoms while treating root causes. I’ve seen her weekly for several years and consider her the best of the best. She helped me heal a rare autoimmune condition, as well as constant itching. My western doctor is still amazed that I no longer need steroid treatment and considers my recovery to be a “miracle”. I trust her with my life and simply cannot recommend her enough.”

“I wanted to let you know how much of a difference working with you has made on both my mental and energetic journey through pregnancy. Every time I leave our appts. I feel like I was either able to let an element of anxiety go in my life and/or bring in the wisdom that I needed to hear. I left last week's session with a feeling of lightness and surrender. Remembering that embracing the journey is all I can really do.”

“Ashlee is incredible. I’ve been seeing her for over 2 years now and she has helped me on so many different levels. I started with her to help my chronic high blood pressure that was the result of preeclampsia with my first pregnancy and for fertility reasons with baby #2. Not only did my blood pressure lower enough to get off meds, but also after a year of TTC we got pregnant. I continued to see her to help me have a healthy pregnancy (my first pregnancy I had preeclampsia so wanted to do everything to avoid that). My pregnancy was a dream and I made it to term with no complications. I also added in cupping to my acupuncture sessions to help with pregnancy back pain and the back pain ended up going away after a few sessions. Now I’m hooked on cupping plus acupuncture with Ashlee and have seen her throughout postpartum to help with anything that comes up. I can’t thank Ashlee enough for all she’s done for me and I couldn’t recommend her more!”

— Christina
“I have been receiving acupuncture + massage treatments from Ashlee for over a year now and am always amazed by the results. Whether it’s a physical injury or stress/sleep issues, Ashlee is able to get to the root of the problem and help me work through it. She has an incredible depth of knowledge in a variety of healing modalities, and she’s so easy to talk to. I can’t recommend her enough!”

— Casey H
“When I first came to Ashlee for treatments, I did not expect to have such life-changing results. I had previously believed that I would always have to live with issues like high blood pressure, chronic digestive issues, and frequent upper respiratory infections. They seemed to be a way of life for me unless I succumbed to take pharmaceuticals, which I refused to do. However, I started to notice a difference in my overall health within weeks of my first treatment. After only six months of seeing Ashlee regularly, my blood pressure was normal and I had not experienced any upper respiratory issues. Ashlee has also helped me recover from many minor muscle and tendon issues which resulted from high intensity exercise that I partake in regularly. Her background in massage therapy combined with her extensive knowledge of Chinese Medicine make her a phenomenal acupuncturist and healer.”

“Ashlee is amazing, I started going to her when I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility. She was there to help through the entire journey. Seeing her really helped me relax on a deeper level. She even gave suggestions on what might help at home when I went through the IVF process. I do believe seeing her was one of the factors that helped me having my baby girl. I continued through pregnancy which helped a whole lot with all those symptoms and still continue after pregnancy.”

— Jean N.
“On May 5th of this year I awoke and realized I could no longer walk properly as I could not lift my toes back towards my knee. After researching symptoms I diagnosed myself with drop foot. After three weeks with no improvement, I went to urgent care and they confirmed my diagnosis. They referred me to a neurologist but as a non-insured line cook a $350+ self pay was almost impossible. A dear friend of mine referred me to Ashlee in hopes that an eastern medical approach might be worth a shot. From the initial assessment through all follow up sessions, Ashlee has been nothing short of amazing. She has used her knowledge of acupuncture as well as massage therapy skills to alleviate the pain as well as restore range of motion to my ankle. I am absolutely amazed by my progress and so happy I made the decision to try acupuncture.”
