About Molly Gibson, Licensed Acupuncturist

We all have a story. We all have our chosen paths. 

This is mine.

During my undergrad, I happened to take a course in Western Herbology. I was smitten, I was captivated, I was thoroughly enamored. I loved having my hands on the herbs, I felt totally empowered by their healing potential. 

 
 Over the next several years, I traveled, I worked abroad, I taught English in China, I met incredible people brimming with knowledge on topics I had never heard of. All these experiences culminated into a fierce curiosity about humanity and healing the whole body.

I was instinctually drawn to the way Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the individual, not just herbs, but acupuncture as well. And so my path was born. I finished my 4-year master's degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Denver in 2015. Then headed for the mountains of Durango.

Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are based in a holistic approach to wellness, recognizing the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. In terms of cascading poor health trends in the United States (and even Durango), traditional natural healing therapies help manage all systems of the body more effectively and efficiently. 

I tend to be gentle in my needling practice and hands on for any pain conditions of joints, soft tissue and muscles. My space is calm and inviting. You may notice a bubbly-euphoric feeling as you leave a session. Maybe you feel lighter, feel less pain, and just feel better in general. And even if we are working on someting like pain, you may find that your sleep starts to improve too. This is because acupuncture is treating the whole body, the whole person. 

I genuinely believe in the powerful healing capacity of the medicine I use and wake each morning with the sense of purpose that I can benefit others in a truly essential way.
