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 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.
