Complex and powerful formulations of herbs and other natural substances have been used to treat acute illnesses and chronic conditions for thousands of years.
A body that is in balance has the amazing ability to fight off illness-causing invaders, cope with the negative impacts of stress, and even potentially self-heal. A body that is out of balance in some way may become more vulnerable to pathogens and unable to heal itself effectively.
With the help of a personalized formula, herbal medicine can help restore the body’s natural balance and therefore its ability to resist and heal from illness and injury. By identifying the specific imbalances at the root of organ system dysfunction or blockages, a Board certified herbalist can create a unique, carefully tailored formulation of natural herbs to correct the underlying imbalance.
The first step in diagnosing and treating an illness or medical concern with herbal medicine is a consultation with a Board certified herbalist. We understand, however, that many patients who may benefit from herbal medicine either cannot easily get to our office for a consultation, or may not feel comfortable with in-person office visits at this time.
For this reason, we have created a telehealth option for any patient interested in herbal medicine.
Your Telehealth Experience at Urban Acupuncture Center
Through a simple and easy-to-use online interface, you can now meet with our Board certified herbalist from the comfort of your own home.
The process is safe, convenient, and just as effective as a traditional, in-office visit.
Your personalized herbal medicine journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with our Board certified herbalist via the online platform, doxy.me.
During your first telehealth visit, you will discuss your specific health concerns and overall wellness with our herbalist. In the course of this extensive discussion, we will diagnose the pattern of disharmony at the root of your unique health concern. We will then prescribe the prepared or customized herbal formula most appropriate for you.
Follow-Up and Check-In sessions can also be online. During these appointments, we will determine the effectiveness of the treatment, renew prescriptions, and make adjustments to the herbal formula if necessary.
Telehealth for Herbal Medicine is simple and easy to use
All you need to get started with your telehealth visit is a computer, tablet, phone, or other device with a camera and a microphone. We use a simple and safe online platform called doxy.me. This platform is designed specifically to safeguard your privacy and comply with all HIPAA rules and regulations.
There’s no software to download for a telehealth visit. You don’t even need to create another online account. When it’s time for your appointment, simply use your device to check in from the comfort of your home.
The check in steps are as follows:
Start your device and confirm that the camera and microphone are working correctly.
Enter the correct doxy.me web address for Urban Acupuncture Center into your internet browser.
Select “Allow” in the small dialogue box asking “Would you like to share camera and microphone with doxy.me?”
Type your name and select the “Check In” button.
Once your herbalist starts the telehealth visit, you will be able to see and hear each other just as if you were together in the office!
After your appointment, you will receive an email with a prescription for your unique herbal formula. This email will enable you to accept and purchase the formula. It will be shipped directly to your home!

Herbal medicine can be a powerful method of correcting imbalances, preventing illness, and enabling the body’s natural self-healing capabilities. We work only with the most reputable herbal supply companies in compliance with cGMP standards.
As always, it is important that you communicate openly with both our Board certified herbalist and any other medical practitioners about all the medications you are taking. While we generally recommend taking herbal formulas two hours apart from other medications and supplements, it is important to understand how herbal supplements may interact with other medications you take.

I had trouble finding work I could be passionate about. I grew up in the country in Defiance, Ohio. My parents were social studies teachers/coaches, and we had acres of trails and creeks right in our backyard. My interest in history and nature, along with my love of reading, helped me learn about the interconnectedness of humans and the natural world, and how important that was, but I didn’t know how to incorporate it into a career.
After studying English literature and Spanish language and culture here in Ohio, I went to teach English in Costa Rica, with the duel intentions of sharpening my Spanish-speaking skills and finding out what I truly wanted for my life’s work. There I learned to meditate, began a yoga practice, and ultimately met local healers who inspired me to go to school to become an acupuncturist and herbalist.
After graduating from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, I practiced for three years at Source Healing in Chicago under founding director Christie Hwang Jordan. In Chicago I also spent time working in a variety of community acupuncture settings, from a women’s clinic, to a mainly Spanish-speaking clinic, to setting up healing events to support and educate those involved in community organizing.
I’m so happy to be here at Urban Acupuncture. Community acupuncture and holistic ideology in general give me hope and comfort in the present and for the future.
2-person show features fiber work by Kate Gorman and Gwen Surratt; show runs through December 2016.
KATE GORMAN
I am a visual storyteller. I love stories; I love telling stories through pictures. I work in fabric because of the tactile and textural qualities inherent in cloth, and I do narratives because the story is a natural starting point for me. My background is in illustration and literature. After working for many years as an illustrator-for-hire working in watercolor and pen-and-ink, I fell in love with textiles and began making contemporary narrative art quilts.
The pieces here incorporate both my appliqué technique, layering commercially printed and hand-dyed fabrics, and my more recent method of working; drawing with thickened dyes and hand-stitching on linen. I love the immediacy of the appliqué work, but also the contemplative nature of the hand-drawn and stitched pieces.
When not in my studio, I work at the Goodwill Art Studio and Gallery, in Columbus, Ohio, creating art with adults with disabilities. I am also an Ohio Arts Council residency artist, traveling around the state sharing my love of narrative quilts with schoolchildren of all ages.
GWEN SURRATT
As a fiber artist I am drawn to color, shape, texture and line. I look to the natural world for color, to architecture for shape and structure, and the beauty of calligraphy for linear inspiration.
The works on display are a small part of my journey of exploration in fabric and thread. Hand stitching for me is like drawing or writing with needle and thread. My canvas is cotton, wool, silk, linen or paper. The sensual qualities of fabric, such as its texture and drape, feed my vision of what I want to create. Hand stitching, making marks with thread, grows into a grid-like design, with each little cell-like shape connecting to the next.
My work is meditative and at times feels like I am writing my own language with thread, stitching my own stories.
Matthew will be joining UAC on Saturday afternoons in Clintonville from 1-5 pm. His first day with us is Valentine’s Day, February 14th
About Matthew:
Upon arriving at the Ohio State University in 2006, I felt completely lost amongst the thousands of potential paths open to me. Through a whirlwind of self-exploration, music, spiritual investigation and other meaningful encounters, I knew that I had found my purpose as a healer. I resonated strongly with Chinese medicine’s big picture: the mind, body, and spirit as one whole; using logic, creativity, observation, intuition, and heart to bring balance. I want to live in a world where Eastern and Western medicine have put their guards down and become good friends, with the shared goal of benefitting humanity. Eastern medicine excels at promoting wellness and balance, while Western medicine is unrivaled in disaster management; with their forces combined we could have our cake and eat it too. Outside of acupuncture, I regularly practice a Chinese martial art called Baguazhang, which is the foundation of my internal cultivation. I nourish myself with good food, company, and art forms of many kinds. I have a great passion for music, the greatest healer of all. Nature has always been a source of comfort to me, when I feel like something’s missing I can usually take a step out into nature and feel at home again.
