Community acupuncture offers the benefits of treatment in a shared, relaxed setting. Each session provides individualized acupuncture within the collective energy of the group — a space designed for rest, regulation, and reconnection. This approach makes ongoing care more accessible while maintaining the integrity of personalized treatment. It’s well-suited for stress, pain, sleep concerns, immune support, and general wellness.

Community acupuncture is offered on a sliding scale to support access for all:

Returning visit: $35–$65

New patients begin with an initial visit to review health history and goals before joining regular community sessions.

Telemedicine sessions offer a flexible way to stay connected and supported in your care from the comfort of home. These appointments may include herbal and nutritional guidance, Qigong or movement therapy, lifestyle recommendations, or follow-up discussions about your ongoing treatment plan.

Virtual consultations are ideal for continuing herbal care, addressing seasonal or acute concerns, refining self-care practices, or checking in between in-person sessions. Each appointment is tailored to meet your current needs and support your overall well-being.

Emily Morrison, LAc, MAOM is the founder and director of Valley Spirit Wellness Center in Beacon, NY—home to her private practice, Valley Spirit Acupuncture & Internal Arts, as well as a collaborative space for holistic care, classes, and seasonal events. With over 20 years of experience in bodywork, Chinese medicine, and internal martial arts, Emily provides individualized treatments in her clinic and brings her work to retreats locally and abroad, creating immersive experiences that combine healing, movement, and education.

Emily’s journey began at 19, when her first martial arts teacher encouraged her to explore the healing arts, setting her on a lifelong path in holistic medicine. She began her career in bodywork after graduating from the Florida School of Massage in 2005 and earned her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2015. She is licensed to practice in New York State.

From 2008 to 2023, Emily trained extensively with the North American Tang Shou Tao Association (NATSTA), studying internal martial arts, classical Chinese medicine, and lineage-based bodywork. She is a certified instructor in Shenlong Xingyiquan and Li Ding Jingluo Qigong, a practitioner of Jin Shou Tuina™, and was honored as a Disciple of NATSTA founder Dr. Vince Black. Her additional training includes craniosacral therapy, Thai massage, shiatsu, Chinese herbal medicine, medical qigong, Chinese nutritional therapy, and cosmetic acupuncture.

Emily approaches each session as a collaboration, considering herself a co-facilitator in her patients’ own healing process rather than a healer. She offers individualized treatments in her clinic in Beacon and brings her work to retreats locally and abroad, creating immersive experiences that combine treatment, movement, and education. Her mission is to help people reconnect with their innate capacity to heal and, in doing so, support the health of the larger whole.

Emily lives in Beacon with her two children, Ronan and Kiley, and is active in the local homeschool community. She enjoys nature, painting, reading, cooking, dancing, and traveling.
