Nancy Floy
I am the founder and director of Heartwood Integrative Health and Healing,  founder of the Heartwood Cancer Program and the Tsogyaling Meditation Center of Evanston. My vision, 20 years ago, was to create a refuge and sanctuary where people of all walks of life could come together in community to learn and grow and heal.  I have been practicing Asian Medicine for nearly 30 years and bring experience with both acupuncture and energy healing as well as mindfulness meditation.  Treatment sessions include time for the patient to speak about what is causing their suffering and allowing the treatment strategy to arise organically.  A session includes bodywork for relaxation, acupuncture to delve deeper into clearing and balancing the channels and guided meditation to soothe and settle the mind consciousness.  I am trained in Tibetan, Japanese and Chinese Medicine and seamlessly weave these beautiful modalities together to provide a path out of the suffering that comes with being human.  To schedule a treatment session call or text:  847-491-9858 email: nancyfloy@heartwoodcenter.com

Karyn Forman

I’m a licensed and NCCAOM certified Acupuncturist and Natural Therapeutic Specialist. I began my bodywork practice at the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics, where I graduated as a massage therapist in 1997.  In 2004, I graduated summa cum laude from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine. I currently practice in Wicker Park and Evanston.

I specialize in treating infertility and women’s health.  I’ve continued my studies of Acupuncture for fertility and pregnancy with Debra Betts and Yvonne Farrel. I’m thankful to have worked with many women from their childbearing years through menopause.

I’m also experienced in treating muscle and joint pain, sciatica, stress and anxiety. I enjoy helping people relax and maximize their physical potential.

My sessions are enhanced with Core Synchronism, a gentle, deeply relaxing energy based work that harmonizes the physical and energetic bodies. I’m dedicated to helping you find good health and balance with my personalized treatments.

Lisa Meyerson

I am an NCCAOM board certified Acupuncturist and practicing since 2004 and have been licensed in Illinois since 2012. My primary specialty is in fertility support, women’s health and pain management.  I also am extensively training in nutritional supplementation, herbology and energy healing (Reiki and Integrative Energy Technique). I apprenticed with Helen Wu studying gynecological herbology and in a two-year post-graduate Five Element Chinese medical theory internship with Lonny Jarrett. I began my acupuncture practice at Pulling Down the Moon, where I specialized in fertility and prenatal support.  In four years there, I learned how essential acupuncture is in helping support women throughout the emotional and physical rollercoaster that fertility treatment can often be.

I graduated Cum Laude at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine and hold a B.A. from Naropa University in dance performance and therapy, and utilize my training in kinesiology in my treatment sessions as needed.

Amy Rudberg

I believe that Chinese Medicine is a living medicine and when applied in a balanced way, it continuously changes us for the better. I have a master’s degree in Oriental Medicine, and a doctorate degree in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the Pacific College of Health and Science. As a licensed acupuncturist, herbalist and massage therapist, I also work as a Zen Shiatsu therapist (AOBTA) as well as a Reiki master. I feel that using a combination of Chinese Medicine and energetic body therapy is very effective in relieving pain, stress, and discomfort in the body. My recent studies have included facial, neuromuscular, and microneedling acupuncture with Michelle Gellis, LAc., neuro acupuncture with the Neuro-Acupuncture Institute in New Mexico, the Balance Method with the Academy of Acupuncture, and sports medicine with Dr. Anthony Lombardi. I have an interest in supporting people to help heal themselves in the areas of musculoskeletal issues, sports acupuncture, digestive health/nutrition/weight management, and women’s health.

Customized treatments for:

Pain Management

Stress, Depression, Trauma

Women’s Health & Fertility

Autoimmune & Digestive Disorders

After a four-year journey pursuing a Masters in Eastern Medicine, I obtained my acupuncture license in 2015, along with a certification in herbology. With a foundation in traditional Chinese medicine, I continued studies in Japanese palpation technique as taught at Harvard Medical School. I founded my own practice in January 2022 following four years as Lead Acupuncturist at a boutique clinic in River North and Winnetka. Prior to that, I worked in collaboration with a chiropractor in downtown Chicago.

Over the years, I have developed a gentle and effective acupuncture technique incorporating adjunct therapies like gua sha and cupping to release muscular and emotional tension. Combined with my studies in energy work that began in 2007, I bring a unique depth and insight into the intersection between the physical and emotional body. My goal is to empower patients to navigate their healing path along with life’s stresses, including the fertility journey.

“Discover a Path to your Infinite Health.”

I am a Nationally Board Certified Acupuncturist and a Creator of AcuStreamSpace – a Healing Path that helps to bring Light to your Being from a Higher Perspective. My major attraction and specialization is helping people who are in need to Elevate Consciousness through applying principles of Esoteric Acupuncture – a new direction in our Era of Existence in the modern world full of uncertainty – based on Ancient Eternal Teachings: a combination of Chakra Concept, Sacred Geometry, Sound Healing, Kabbalah philosophy to uplift your Spirit and get connected to the Unified Source of All where a profound Healing takes place. Empathy and Compassion dwells deeply in my Heart – that is a foundation of my approach of treatments. All session based on the needs of the person, might be intertwined with other modalities like chakra Balancing with Astral oils and Holistic Bodywork.

I offer Acutonics Session through using Infinite Sound Healing Power of Tuning Forks that are connected and calibrated with the movements of the Planets. When these specific frequencies are applied to particular points on the meridians, it helps to bring the Heavenly Essence – Sacred Sounds – into the body to clear blockages, break apart old emotional patterns and clear the way to Liberation while still being here in the third dimensional world.
Now remote Acutonics Healing Sessions are available for Stress Relief, Emotional Balance and Strengthening the Immune System.

Also, I provide Nutritional Consultations for a daily living to expand consciousness based on Whole Foods Energetic.
