Robin Arnold, L.Ac.

I have a lifelong interest in alternative and natural medicines, the subtleties and powerhouse energy flows, of the body and our surroundings - as well as in nutrition, state of mind, and exercise. Watching loved ones be encumbered with traditional Western medicine, led me to acupuncture.   

​

I have personally experienced anxiety issues. After I started using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, my anxiety was under control, my wellbeing improved, as did my general health and happiness.  I am excited to help other people find this powerful, natural means of healing and balancing.

​

Many people are skeptical of Chinese medicine and hesitant to try it, because they know little about it. My goal as an acupuncturist is to help my patients on their path to healing by demystifying this medicine, and to offer alternative an option to pain killers, surgery, or expensive treatments which are not addressing the root of the issue.

​

I relocated to Charlottesville in spring 2023 to join Blue Ridge Well Being - with a shared vision towards establishing a community resource for enhancing wellness.
