About Cynthia Harris

My goal is to help you regain trust in yourself. So often we can feel that we’re not ourselves when our bodies, minds, or emotions get off track. Without the confidence that we can handle life, we can be afraid to take on opportunities and challenges that would bring contentment, joy, a sense of self-worth, and perhaps economic security.

For years when I was in my twenties, I had a painful and disfiguring skin condition around my eyes and on my neck: puff up, dry out, itch like crazy, crack, bleed, repeat. A dermatologist diagnosed my condition as hereditary and recommended daily maintenance with cortisone ointment, likely for the rest of my life. I’m grateful that someone recommended I see an acupuncturist, who would look at the condition through a different lens. After several months of treatment and a dramatic final episode, the skin healed and my overall physical and emotional health had improved.

As a patient, I love the experience of acupuncture: the feeling I’ve been on a mini-vacation after a treatment. As a practitioner, I like to provide that sense of respite from a busy world, as well as partnering with a client on a specific health concern. Through working with my patients I have seen the impressive results that acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and often simple lifestyle changes can bring. I love hearing clients say, “I feel so much more like myself,” or when they’ve forgotten they even had a troublesome symptom.

In 2007, after three years of academic and clinical education, I received my Master’s of Oriental Medicine from the Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine in Bloomington. I am licensed by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice and am certified in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). I’m a member of the Minnesota Acupuncture Association and the American Society of Acupuncturists.

Your unique health care questions are of the utmost importance to me. I’m happy to talk with you about how acupuncture and Chinese medicine can benefit you. Together we can work toward achieving your health and wellness goals.
