Abigail Thomas, DACM, LAc
Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

My work centers on helping people navigate pain, illness, and life’s transitions through thoughtful, individualized care rooted in East Asian medicine.
I believe healthcare works best when people are listened to, understood, and treated as whole individuals rather than a collection of symptoms. As an integrative healthcare provider, I work alongside physicians and other healthcare professionals to help patients make informed decisions and develop practical strategies that support their health goals. My approach combines careful listening, clinical experience, and evidence-informed care to help people better understand their health and identify practical next steps.
Many of my patients are looking for a more personal and comprehensive approach to healthcare. Whether they are seeking relief from pain, support through a life transition, or help achieving an important health goal, I work with them to identify practical, sustainable changes that support long-term well-being.
For more than 25 years, I have studied and practiced natural medicine, with a special emphasis on East Asian Medicine. My practice focuses on two primary areas: women’s health and natural pain management. I support women throughout their lives, with expertise in fertility, pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, and healthy aging.
