Hello! I'm Summer Purks, I am a board-certified practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and I am deeply passionate about helping people experience meaningful, lasting healing. I hold national certification through the NCCAOM and earned my Master’s degree in Acupuncture from top-accredited college Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine.
It is my goal and great desire to continue the tradition of Chinese medicine of preventing and treating disease of the mind, body, and spirit. At the heart of my work is acupuncture, a gentle yet powerful therapy that uses very fine needles placed at specific points on the body to activate its natural healing abilities. This process helps regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore the balanced flow of energy, or “Qi.” When the body is in balance, it can function more efficiently—often leading to relief from pain, reduced stress, improved digestion, better sleep, and support for both acute and chronic conditions.
I take a personalized, whole-body approach to care, recognizing that each person’s experience is unique. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I work to understand the root causes of imbalance and create treatment plans tailored to your specific needs and goals.
My intention is to provide a supportive and welcoming space where you feel heard, cared for, and empowered in your healing process. Whether you are navigating a recent health concern or a long-standing condition, I am here to help guide you back to balance, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.
I believe in the power of gentle, individualized care through acupuncture and am honored to be part of your healing journey.
