Dear Stillpoint Acupuncture community,

It is with great excitement that I come to you with news about the future of our Greensboro office.

As of October 2025, our beloved and accomplished practitioner, Blake Faulkner will be taking over ownership of our Greensboro office.

From the patient’s perspective, not much will change. Blake, Olivia and I will still be seeing patients at 201 Muirs Chapel Rd. Melissa Peet will still be your point person for scheduling, billing and general conversation.

But from the community perspective, this shift will infuse new energy and purpose into our office. Meanwhile, I will be able to devote more time and focus to the Siler City office.

October marks the 24-year anniversary of Stillpoint Acupuncture in Greensboro. That’s two full zodiac cycles, beginning and ending in a Snake year. Snakes represent transformation—the letting go of one thing to embark on something new, so it is fitting that we are evolving in this way now.

During this transition, there may be a few hiccups as we create a separate website and payment system. However, we are doing our best to plan ahead in order to keep these issues to a minimum. You are always welcome to call if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your support and encouragement for all these years! I look forward to continuing to work with you inside this new business structure.

Heather McIver, L.Ac.

Look what I just ordered....from our beloved Diane Gross...

Acupuncture can work in many different ways, but one of the most important things it can do is to calm the “fight or flight” sympathetic nervous system response. As such, it can be incredibly useful for managing PTSD and other kinds of trauma responses.

Once your mind and body are given a break from the constant vigilance of feeling threatened, you will notice that many symptoms improve, including sleep, digestion, hormonal balance, mental clarity and even pain. Some people say, “I’m feeling better, but I don’t know why.” Some people notice that their appetite returns and yet they begin to lose weight at the same time. Other people notice that they become interested in previous hobbies again, or decide to go back to school. Acupuncture is great for back or knee pain…but it’s so much more. It can give you your life back.

Want to see some science? Check out this meta-analysis which reports results of many studies that found acupuncture to be “better than pharmacotherapy” on validated measures of depression, anxiety and PTSD.

It's commonly known that acupuncture can be helpful in treating pain, but did you know it can also improve a wide variety of internal complaints, like digestive problems? It’s not uncommon for people to come in for one thing, like back or neck pain, and say something like, “I don’t know if it’s just coincidental, but my stomach feels better too.” This is because Chinese Medicine doesn’t just focus on one symptom, but on your whole body and how it functions. Sometimes the way we treat back pain is by first alleviating constipation! Symptoms like bloating, nausea, diarrhea, acid reflux can all improve with acupuncture treatments. As your digestion improves, your organs and tissues will get better nourishment which can improve energy, immune response, hormonal balance, fertility, etc.

Tammy Knopf, LAc finds helping patients improve their digestion to be especially satisfying.

Tammy completed the Master’s program in Classical Chinese Medicine at Jung Tao School of Classical Chinese Medicine in 2020. She finds it deeply rewarding to help people find better health and balance through this medicine. Tammy brings her bright energy to the treatment room, leaving patients feeling uniquely cared for. She is dedicated to using classical acupuncture, moxa, cupping and other modalities to produce the most effective results from each and every treatment.

Acupunture can play a large role in a fertility journey.
When a patient is referred to us from the fertility clinic, they are often already well into their fertility journey and are at the beginning stages of IVF. While it is widely known that acupuncture around the time of embryo transfer has been shown to increase implantation rates, many people also find that working with an acupuncturist throughout the fertility journey or ART process can be beneficial in a multitude of ways. The fertility journey itself can be very stressful and most people find acupuncture helps alleviate stress and anxiety, improves sleep, and can improve hormonal imbalances and blood flow to the reproductive organs. Considering that some studies have shown that high levels of stress alone can affect fertility, it's no wonder acupuncture can help create positive outcomes for patients.

Olivia Honeycutt, LAc especially enjoys treating patients in the midst of that process. Olivia has been helping guide patients going through many challenges, including their fertility journeys, since 2012. She worked as an acupuncturist in ART-focused clinics for several years. She knows that one of acupuncture's most useful aspects is helping a patient manage stress and anxiety and finds that most people enjoy the relaxation of an acupuncture treatment long after the session has completed.

Happy summer everyone! When we look at summer from the perspective of the 5 elements, this is a time for fun and play as well as for working hard on all the projects you started this spring. Energy can be high and you can feel passionate about what you are doing. On the other hand, summer can also be a time when the fire element flares out of balance- you can feel overheated or agitated, find it difficult to sleep and anxiety can run high. If you aren’t feeling summer’s good vibe right now- if your nervous system is on overdrive, or if the heat is just zapping your energy- a seasonal tune up may help. Check our online schedule https://www.stillpointacupuncture.com/, or give us a call at 336.510.2029 and we will find a treatment time that works for you.

And if your regular acupuncture visits have you feeling so good you don't need to come in, you can share your good benefits with others by reviewing us on Google or following us on Facebook or Instagram.
