Your Practitioner
Hello, and welcome! My name is Courtney Wilhide (she/her) and I am the Owner and Practitioner at Soul Garden Acupuncture.
Courtney's Credentials I am a Five Element Maryland state licensed acupuncturist. I received my Masters of Science in Acupuncture at the Maryland University of Integrative Health in 2015. Along with my state licensure, I am Clean Needle Certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) and an Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist through the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA). I am also a certified Reiki Master Teacher/Practitioner and received my training from The Grace of Reiki and the Usui System of Natural Healing in 2016. And, in addition to being an acupuncturist and reiki master, I am a certified Intuitive with training in various modalities. I received my advanced certificate and training with Charles Virtue and Peroshini Naidoo in 2018. A Little About Me Soul Garden Acupuncture is a small operation of one (Me), which I love because it gives me the freedom to be fully with each patient and involved in every process from booking, to treatment, and follow up care. I’m a Frederick City native. I attended Frederick High School, and received my Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Studies (Philosophy, Psychology, and Religion) from Salisbury University in 2002. After a 9 year career as a buyer for a busy interior design firm my life took a very different direction in 2011. It was then that my experience with the medicine of Acupuncture and Reiki began. I attended MUIH and received my Masters of Science in Acupuncture after three and a half years of full time, year round study and clinicals. It was an intense program filled with science, philosophy, and many hands-on lessons in healing. I am perpetually in awe of this medicine and the transformations I have seen in my patients. The root of each one of my services is to heal, to empower, and to create balance. |
Our Mission
|
My passion is to facilitate my patients natural healing abilities to create balance and harmony in all aspects of life. My practice is called Soul Garden Acupuncture because it encapsulates my view of healing. A gardener pulls obstructing weeds, tends the soil, and creates an optimal environment for growth. As a practitioner, this is the role I play in the healing relationship with my patients. Together, we move obstructions from the physical, mental and emotional bodies creating the optimal environment for your wellness. I use acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, tui na, reiki, Chinese nutritional guidelines, and medical theory education to facilitate the optimal health and well being of each patient. My approach to healing uses science and spirituality to get to the root of your symptoms in order to heal more deeply, completely, and naturally.
