About Us – Britney Valentin

 

she/her/hers

My journey with acupuncture began 9 years ago after the birth of my son and sudden loss of my mother. My primary care doctor recommended acupuncture to treat the many symptoms I was dealing with both physically and emotionally. After a few tiny needles in my legs, arms, and ears, I fell into a deep sleep-like state and awoke feeling refreshed. That experience left a lasting impression on me. 

Years later, I was led to begin an acupuncture program at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine in Columbus Ohio, where I graduated with my Masters Degree of Acupuncture. 

My current and ever–evolving interests focus on pain relief and mental health. I love how gentle and effective acupuncture treatments are for countless numbers of common health issues that many of us face. 

My goal is to use my acupuncture practice to hold space for your healing. No two bodies are truly alike, and I will always take my time to understand you. Luckily for me as an acupuncturist, I don’t only rely on my ears to listen. I use all my senses in a holistic way and follow the clues left by your body to guide treatment. It’s always an honor for me to be a part of your healing journey. 

I am a nationally certified NCCAOM Diplomate of Acupuncture, and state licensed acupuncturist through the Ohio State Medical Board. 

When I’m not practicing or learning more about acupuncture, I am spending time with my awesome children, getting out into nature, practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and exploring delicious foods throughout the Columbus area.
