About Spirit Point Medicine:
Shannon Conrad L.Ac., M.Ac.
I first became interested in Acupuncture during a college semester abroad in Beijing, where I found my university situated next to a publishing house that focused on Chinese Traditional Medical texts. I would visit the attached bookstore every week or so, and pore over the Acupuncture texts, and pictures of what I considered (at the time) to be a very unusual practice. I was fascinated with the Chinese conception of balance on the mind, body, and spirit levels, and watching doctors treat people with acupuncture, herbs, and moxa on the streets of China only deepened my curiosity.
My Credentials:
I am a classically trained Five-Element Acupuncturist with a master’s degree from the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, Maryland. I also hold a master’s degree in Chinese Studies from Columbia University and Johns Hopkins University's SAIS-Nanjing Center, and have completed extensive postgraduate acupuncture training with Niki Bilton. I have been in practice since 2007.
Outside of Work:
I volunteer for the Ongiara Foundation. I am also passionate about volunteering my time on various health-related and sports-related boards of directors. I believe that community engagement is vital, and I enjoy contributing to causes that promote well-being and active lifestyles.
When I'm not volunteering, you can find me traveling to new destinations, enjoying live music, exploring new restaurants, or spending quality time with my husband, two kids, and our black lab, Molly Bear.
