Practitioners

Elaine Warren, M.Ac., L.Ac., is a licensed acupuncturist with a Master of Acupuncture from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, formerly the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, MD.

Before becoming an acupuncturist, Elaine worked as a career analyst in securities regulations as qualifications test developer. It was work she enjoyed very much that allowed stability and flexibility to raise her growing family. After 20 plus years observing the ups and downs of the stock market, however, a sense of futility grew within and along with it, a sense of stuck-ness in the mildly sedative comforts of a decent pay and well careered life. 

Then she rediscovered acupuncture! As a patient, she knew the efficacy of acupuncture with her own chronic back pain, seasonal allergies as well as other symptoms that are common to many who are engaged in the goings and doings of a full life with work and children. Having begun her training expecting to learn all she could to produce clinical effectiveness, she received greater blessing to learn that her role would not be limited to a “fixer” but that it can be that of a conduit to cultivate inner healing in her patients.

She is grateful to wake up to the realization that the stuck-ness, the thing that was missing and what she desired most was to serve others to bring healing at all levels of body mind spirit. In so doing, she is mindful each moment to deeply and joyfully bow to the great Oneness of life.
