ABOUT BOYD BAILEY, M.Ac., L.Ac., Dipl.Ac. (NCCAOM)

Boyd Bailey, M.Ac., L.Ac., Dipl.Ac. (NCCAOM) received his Master of Acupuncture from the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NIAOM) in Seattle, WA., where he then began both a successful private practice and an integrated practice with naturopathic physician (ND) and licensed massage therapist (LMT). He was a teaching assistant in both Chinese and Japanese acupuncture classes at NIAOM. He is currently licensed by the state of North Carolina and board certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncturists (NCCAOM).

Additional training includes postgraguate studies in Chinese herbal medicine and various Japanese acupuncture protocols, as well as certification from Tokyo, Japan in Toyohari meridian therapy. Toyohari meridian therapy is a highly refined system of acupuncture (initially developed by blind practitioners) which involves specialized palpative diagnoses and many non-insertive techniques using silver and gold needles. Since no needle insertion is required, this style of acupuncture is excellent for pediatric treatment and needle sensitive patients.
