Meet Ben

Ben Townsend​

  • Licensed Acupuncturist

  • Chinese Herbalist

  • Diplomate of Oriental Medidine

Biography:

My journey began with a deep-rooted passion for healing and a fascination with the body’s intricate systems. I believe in a holistic approach that blends the wisdom of traditional medicine with the insights of modern diagnostics. Everyday, I am inspired by the opportunity to help people transform their lives, alleviating ailments, and enhancing their overall well-being.

​

My practice is built on the belief that each person is unique, and so is their path to health. I take the time to listen to my patients, understanding not just their physical symptoms but also where they are emotionally and spiritually. This comprehensive perspective allows me to tailor treatments that resonate with their individual needs.

​

In my sessions, I incorporate techniques from both Eastern and Western medicine. While Chinese Medicine remains at the heart of my practice, I also draw on modern diagnostics and research to create a more complete picture of each patient’s health. This integration helps me address not only the symptoms but also the underlying issues, fostering lasting change.

I find great joy in witnessing my patients’ progress.  Achieving optimal health means different things to different people, and I believe part of my job is helping people identify what that means to them.  Maybe it’s a reduction in chronic symptoms, or maybe it is simply a greater sense of balance in their lives.  My goal is to empower people to take charge of their health, providing them with tools and knowledge to set and reach their goals as well as maintain their well-being beyond our sessions.

​

I strive for each interaction to be a space of warmth and trust, where I encourage open communication and collaboration. I am continually amazed by the resilience of the human body and spirit, and I feel privileged to play a role in my patients’ journeys toward wellness. My passion for healing drives me to keep learning, studying ancient theory, exploring new techniques, and integrating fresh insights to ensure I provide the best possible care.

​

In a world that often moves too fast, I believe in the power of stillness and connection. Each session is not just a treatment; it’s a shared experience that honors the body’s innate ability to heal. I’m here to support that process, helping you rediscover your path to health and vitality.

"Ben is absolutely fantastic. Since sustaining a significant and in some ways devastating injury, Ben has helped me finally start to regain my health and my life-one without pain and with much more manageable, if not eliminated, health complications. Ben remains sensitive to my needs and how I feel about certain aspects of treatment and medicine. He is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about his patients." -L.G.
