ABOUT ME
Stacy Hewitt's model in medicine is: Mind, Body and Spirit. He strongly believes that the balance of these three elements is key to a person's overall well-being. Being both a licensed acupuncturist and a licensed massage therapist, Stacy blends the practice of Classical and Japanese acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition and bodywork into his daily practice. This combination has proven to be an effective approach to healing.
Stacy's journey to become an alternative healthcare provider started in 1997 when he graduated from The Carolina School of Massage Therapy and furthered his post-graduate education with advanced certifications in geriatric, orthopedic and Structural bodywork. He also pursued training in Jin Shin Do acupressure and Reiki. With his training as a massage therapist, Stacy volunteered at a Community Holistic HIV clinic. While volunteering, Stacy witnessed the healing power of Chinese medicine through the use of acupressure alone, and that sparked his interest to pursue advanced studies in Chinese medicine.
Stacy received his 4 year graduate degree in acupuncture at the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in Sugar Grove, North Carolina. While at Jung Tao he studied in the lineage of one of the world's great masters of Classical Chinese acupuncture, Nguyen Van Nghi. Taking the best from both Eastern and Western medicine, Stacy has post graduate acupuncture studies in both Orthopedic and Sports Medicine for pain and blends this with his Eastern training in both Dr. Tan and Master Tung's style acupuncture. He also completed advanced training in fertility, women's health and pediatric care with leaders in his field such as Jonathan Law; Pediatric Chinese Medicine with Jake Fratkin, Internal Medicine with Miki Shima and Bob Flaws; and Japanese style acupuncture with David Euler.
Stacy's vision is to create a family friendly clinic that provides quality complementary health care to a versatile age group. Stacy sees Chinese medicine as an important part of everyone's health as they journey through life from their first week after birth to their golden years. Stacy looks forward to forming a partnership with you to help bring greater vitality to your body and to help you usher in the positive changes you want to make in your life.
Stacy teaches clinical skills at the Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine as well as teaches acupressure at Carolina Massage Institute.When not studying Chinese medicine or teaching, Stacy enjoys chasing his young son around the house and watching him grow.
Stacy Hewitt is both a Licensed Acupuncturist (Lic #688) and a Licensed Massage Therapist (Lic #1607) in North Carolina. He is also a Reiki Master, a Certified Qi Gong Instructor and a graduate of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
