I’m Kerry Goodwin, licensed acupuncturist and certified Chinese herbalist specializing in the treatment of women’s health, fertility, prenatal and postpartum care, gastrointestinal and autoimmune disorders, food sensitivities, nutritional counseling, and mental health. My goal is to provide the highest level of care and compassion to my patients. I believe in looking at the body and person as a whole, not merely a series of symptoms. My background as a professional ballet dancer taught me to connect and listen to my body and I hope to bring that same body awareness to my patients through the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, moxibustion, cupping, nutrition, and body work.
As a practitioner my priority is to hold a safe and healing space for patients seeking optimal health and balance in their lives no matter where you are in your journey toward health and wholeness. I absolutely love connecting with my patients and bringing the medicine to as many people in my community as I can. During treatments I spend the majority of the time with my patients using additional modalities and I tailor each treatment to the specific needs each time.
My husband and I are thrilled to begin exploring all that Asheville and the surrounding area has to offer. We have lived in Portland, OR for the last five years where I received my Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. After graduating I opened Alignment Acupuncture in Portland and also taught ballet barre classes at Mod Physique. But the pull of being closer to family and new opportunities drew us East. Whether we are on the west coast or the east coast, we enjoy camping, spending time outdoors, exploring our city, and cooking with friends and family.
