Lindsey Pope, She/Her

Welcome to Instinctual Health!  I serve as a holistic detective to help you get to the bottom of your symptoms! 

I provide East-Asian medicine services and specialize in personalized nutrition. As an acupuncturist and nutritionist, I serve as a holistic detective to help you get to the bottom of your symptoms. Listening intently and hearing your needs, we work together utilizing acupuncture or nutrition independently or we can combine the two.

I am methodical in order to fully understand your unique body and biochemistry in combination with understanding your lifestyle to meet you where you’re at in your nutrition journey and support you as you move towards your health goals.

 
 

Some other things about me!

- I’m a queer, entrepreneur, seeker, healer sort who loves the woo magic and the science. My bookshelf holds mostly personal growth and mystical poetry books combined with a variety of East-Asian medicine, anatomy and nutrition texts.  

- According to Vedic astrology, it’s in my best interest to practice alternate nostril breathing every day. 

- I’m an enneagram 9, Aries sun, Gemini moon, and Virgo rising.

- An unpaid psychic encounter confirmed this path of acupuncture and healing work while I was bartending one night many years ago. 

- I refuse to exercise if I don’t enjoy the activity or consume any type of “health food” that tastes like cardboard.

  - Most people say I have grounded, energy, am an excellent listener and care deeply about the world around me.  I love animals with fur (sorry reptiles) and spend an hour most days bathing in the forest.

- When not working you will find me in the garden pulling weeds, on an adventure in nature, cross stitching, sipping delicious tea, being a kitchen witch, or having my life completely dominated by the eight pounds of purr and fur that rules the house.

I recognize that I am borrowing East-Asian medicine from a long lineage of brilliant Chinese and Japanese teachers who have paved the way. It is an honor and privilege to practice Japanese acupuncture and I’m truly grateful to share this with you.
