Return to your nature

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine rooted in the rhythms of nature

I am a Seattle-based acupuncturist — using the tools of this medicine to find and treat the pattern beneath your symptoms.

Your body is trying to tell you something 

This medicine listens

Your body moves in rhythms and cycles — just like nature.  Your symptoms, your energy, your emotional life — are all part of the message.  This medicine helps you hear it.

Women's Health & Reproductive Medicine

From your first period to menopause — and everything in between. This is medicine that honors every phase of a woman's life as meaningful, not just manageable.

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

This medicine works with the whole person, not just the presenting symptom. Whether you're navigating anxiety, fatigue, chronic pain, or a sense that something is simply off, it looks for what's underneath.

Ba Zi: Chinese Astrology

Ba Zi Four Pillars Chinese astrology is an astrology system that maps your nature — your strengths, your challenges, and the natural timing of your life. Not prediction. Understanding.

What guides this medicine

Treat the Whole Person

Body, soul and spirit are not separate systems to be treated independently. What shows up physically is always in conversation with what's happening emotionally and spiritually. Nothing is treated in isolation.

Treat the
Root

Your symptoms are not the problem — they're the messenger of a larger pattern. Every treatment begins with understanding the root beneath what's presenting, because lasting change happens at the source.

Nature as Medicine

Your body doesn't exist apart from nature. Your cycles, your energy, and your emotional landscape all move through rhythms and seasons. Treatment works with those rhythms, not against them.

Rest as
Medicine

In a culture that rewards constant productivity, rest is its own kind of medicine. Sometimes the most profound healing happens in the quiet.

✴ 

Trauma-Informed Care

Healing unfolds most deeply in spaces of safety and trust. I bring a trauma-informed lens to all of my work — recognizing that many people carry experiences that live in the body long before they surface in words.

Alchemical Healing

The difficult things — the pain, the grief, the confusion, the parts of yourself you'd rather not look at — are potent material for transformation. This work doesn't avoid what's hard. It uses it as the path to healing.

I found this medicine as a patient - It made sense of what conventional medicine couldn't

I'm Maureen Conant, a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner with over two decades of experience. I came to this work through my own healing — as a young woman who felt everything deeply and whose body felt like a mystery.  Chinese medicine gave me a different way of seeing. For the first time, my body made sense. Now I bring that same depth of understanding to anyone who finds their way to this work.
