Before moving to Asheville, North Carolina, she and her husband lived in Portland, Oregon where she began her career in East Asian medicine. The call to live closer to family, set down roots, and the pull of new opportunities brought them to Asheville.

When she is not working, she enjoys being with her two little boys, Jack and Theodore, and spending time as a family. To decompress and reduce stress she loves to cook, dance, and be outside.

Stephanie Hart L.Ac., DACM

Dr. Stephanie Hart is a nationally board-certified acupuncturist and herbalist dedicated to
helping patients restore balance and achieve optimal well-being. She earned her Clinical
Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) from Daoist Traditions College of
Chinese Medical Arts in Asheville, following a Bachelor of Science degree from the United
States Coast Guard Academy.

Her journey into acupuncture began during her time in the Coast Guard, where she experienced
firsthand the limitations of Western medicine. After years of struggling with chronic sinus pain
and despite having tried multiple treatment options, Stephanie found immediate relief from a
single acupuncture treatment. This transformative experience sparked a deep curiosity about
holistic healing and set her on a path to explore the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

Stephanie treats a diverse spectrum of conditions while specializing in women’s health, fertility,
and prenatal and postpartum care, helping women navigate all stages of their reproductive
journey. She believes that true healing begins with creating space for the body to reset itself and
guides her patients with a gentle touch, deep listening, and an intuitive approach. Her
treatments blend acupuncture with cupping, gua sha, tui na massage, herbal medicine, food
therapy, essential oils, and lifestyle recommendations. Above all, she is passionate about
empowering patients to make sustainable life changes that support their overall health.

Outside of Hearth, Stephanie finds peace in the quiet of nature, whether she’s gardening,
sailing, or hiking with her two sons, husband, and husky. She also enjoys baking, reading, and
drawing inspiration from The First 40 Days, a book that reflects her approach to nourishment
and healing.
