Meet Kyler York, L.Ac., FABORM
Owner of Moon Tides Acupuncture
Kyler was first introduced to alternative medicine practices as a child when she attended acupuncture sessions with her stepmom. She saw first-hand the effect of acupuncture in treating her stepmom’s Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis, from providing symptom relief to empowering her to live a healthy lifestyle. This early exposure influences Kyler’s approach to treatment with patients today, meeting patients where they are on their healing journey. She incorporates the mind-body-spirit connection to discover biological and lifestyle factors that can contribute to disharmony in the body. She uses a variety of treatment modalities offered with Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, dietary advice, meditation and movement techniques, and Chinese herbal remedies.
Kyler received her four year Master’s Degree from Pacific College of Health and Science, Chicago. She is nationally board certified and holds an acupuncture license in North Carolina. She is a Fellow of ABORM the Acupuncture Board of TCM and Reproductive Medicine, which certifies a select group of acupuncturists in reproductive health through a comprehensive board examination and ongoing continuing education in both modern and traditional medicine. She specializes in hormonal and reproductive health, digestive issues, pain management, stress and anxiety, migraines and headaches. Her aim is to provide holistic care to all in a comfortable, safe environment to allow individuals to thrive and feel well.
Meet Dan Hingle, L.Ac.
Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Acupuncture | Pain Management | Nervous System Regulation | Integrative Wellness
Dan Hingle brings years of experience in acupuncture, orthopedic and sports medicine, and integrative wellness to Moon Tide Acupuncture & Wellness in Wilmington, North Carolina. Since establishing his California practice, Health Point Integrative Acupuncture and Wellness in 2011, Dan has focused on helping patients manage pain, recover from injuries, improve mobility, and support their overall health. His approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with Western knowledge of anatomy, movement, and musculoskeletal function. He believes effective care begins with understanding the person, not simply identifying the symptoms.
Dan earned his Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University. He completed sports medicine acupuncture internships with Frank He and Whitfield Reaves and pursued additional training in orthopedic and trauma acupuncture. He also studied Master Tung's acupuncture with Susan Johnson and Brad Whisnant and the Balance Method directly with Dr. Richard Tan. Dan was the first acupuncturist in the world to earn RockTape's RockDoc certification, reflecting his early interest in combining kinesiology taping with acupuncture and sports medicine.
Dan's clinical work includes orthopedic and sports injuries, acute and chronic pain, soft-tissue conditions, joint discomfort, and pre- and post-surgical support. He also works with patients seeking help managing headaches, stress, and nervous system regulation, recognizing the connection between physical tension, pain, and emotional well-being. His practice includes complementary acupuncture support for people experiencing trauma-related stress, as well as those working toward smoking cessation or participating in addiction recovery programs.
Outside the clinic, Dan enjoys mountain biking, surfing, water sports, and traditional strength and movement training, including Indian clubs, kettlebells, heavy clubs, and steel maces. He has also studied Tai Chi and Qi Gong with Lee Holden, further developing his interest in mindful movement, breathing, and the relationship between physical activity and well-being. His own active lifestyle helps him appreciate the importance of staying mobile, strong, and engaged at every stage of life.
Meet Martin Clark, LMBT
Massage Therapist at Moon Tides Acupuncture
Martin is a practitioner of Chinese medical massage. He was introduced to Chinese medicine while stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, as a US Navy sailor. A traditional Japanese doctor cured him of a troublesome illness that Navy doctors had no answers for, and after being discharged, he used the GI Bill to attend Chinese medicine school in San Diego and San Francisco. He graduated in 2014, and immediately moved to China to seek further training. He interned at an orthopedic clinic in Qingdao for about a year, and liked China so much that he stayed for five more as a student of the language and culture. In his spare time, he translates Chinese medical texts, and hopes to someday be a published author.
He works intuitively and describes his style as a blend of acupressure and myofascial release, with elements of energetic work. He specializes in treating headaches, migraines, TMJ, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, frozen shoulder, bunions, arthritis and pain management.
