Meet the Practitioner

Dr. Emily Sullivan, DACM, L.Ac, OMD

Dr. Sullivan is a licensed, board-certified acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist, and the founder of Nēdl Acupuncture.

She earned her Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and went on to complete an intensive mentorship in Chinese herbal medicine — a modality she is deeply passionate about and integrates into every aspect of her practice. Her approach is thorough, patient-centered, and informed by both classical training and a modern understanding of the body.

She specializes in Japanese-style acupuncture, moxibustion, and Chinese herbal medicine and incorporates fukushin (abdominal diagnosis) into every treatment to guide her work. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns — chronic pain, digestive health, menstrual and hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, and fatigue among them.

Her treatments are gentle, powerful, and help your body awaken its own healing intelligence with care, presence, and compassion.
