Francy attended the Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA. She decided to become an acupuncturist to improve patient’s health in a manner that treats the cause of the illness and not just the symptoms. Hearing patients tell her how great they feel after treatment when conventional medicine didn’t help is what Francy loves the most about being an acupuncturist.

Modern Acupuncture’s principals align with her own, which is why Francy decided to become part of the Modern Acupuncture team. She also likes that Modern Acupuncture is a place where patients can come to relax and separate from the daily stressors causing some of these illnesses. Outside of work, Francy enjoys reading, watching movies with family, swimming, and dancing.

Megan graduated from the Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture helped her with her own health issues and resolved her migraines. She was amazed at all that acupuncture can do and knew that she wanted to help others as it had helped her.

She is excited to be part of the Blakeney Modern Acupuncture team because she loves the modern approach to this ancient medicine. Modern Acupuncture makes this medicine easily accessible to all in a way that adapts to their schedules and lifestyles. Megan loves the Charlotte area because there is so much to explore when she is spending time in nature, from the ocean to the mountains.

Jeff has always had a passion for alternative methods of healing. As an NCAA athlete, they were limited on the methods for pain relief and recovery. He found acupuncture to be beneficial and always wanted to find a way to incorporate this into his future. In the current climate with opioid dependence increasing acupuncture is a safe alternative to pain relief. Acupuncture is also affordable in relation to costs involved in relation to medicine.

Not just pain relief but boosting the immune system to keep people out of the hospitals, increasing energy to allow those to work a full productive day and still have the energy when they come home to be present with their family. It was a gift that he found the Modern Acupuncture team because the model reflects his same values in wellness in a first class manner but also affordable. Jeff received his acupuncture certificate from the National University of Health Sciences. What he loves most about the city of Charlotte is the growth and diversity moving into the city.

Born and raised in Yangon, Sophie left Myanmar when she was a teenager for the friendly but chilly shores of Canada to pursue her education at the University of British Columbia where she obtained a BA and then MA in Economics.  After working in the corporate world of finance for a while, she ventured forth to the sunny shores of California to do a summer Econ program at UC Berkeley.  It was there that she first tried something a bit off the beaten path.  She took a basic acupressure course at the Acupressure Training Institute on Shattuck Avenue in Berkeley, where she discovered that natural healing systems like acupressure/acupuncture are the way to prevent diseases and prolong life.  

Since then she has trained in an astonishing array of holistic healing programs that include an Acupuncture degree from a reputable TCM college in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 2013.  After passing the Canada Acupuncture board exam and being licensed, she returned to Myanmar to look after her aging mother. There, she started an acupuncture practice to serve the international community that was longing for complementary & alternative treatments that include acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, reiki and qi gong. She also collaborated with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive treatments using a variety of acupuncture techniques and principles to achieve the best possible health outcomes for the patients/clients.  

She is now NCCOM certified and licensed in North Carolina to serve the community here.

In her free time, Sophie loves to read, write poems and garden.  Her favorite passion in life is to help others achieve their wellness potential by using the knowledge of natural healing methods and lifestyle strategies.
