Meredith is a graduate of Texas Health and Science University in Austin, TX. She became an acupuncturist because growing up, she suffered from chronic headaches and skin issues. She relied on weekly allergy shots and multiple prescription medications to feel better. After college, she moved to South Korea for three years, and while there, she adopted a more balanced diet and lifestyle and also became acquainted with acupuncture and other holistic forms of healthcare. Through these lifestyle shifts, her overall health and energy levels improved dramatically — and her allergies even went away and have yet to return! She knew she needed to return to the States and share what she had learned, to help others find balance and feel better, too. Her favorite part of being an acupuncturist is being able to play a part in helping others find physical and/or emotional relief, naturally and without the use of pharmaceuticals.

She decided to join the Modern Acupuncture team because she feels Eastern Medicine is needed more than ever in our high-stress, overly-medicated culture. She likes that Modern Acupuncture helps to bridge the divide between East and West and expose many more people to the incredible benefits of acupuncture When she isn’t treating patients, Meredith loves reading, cooking (and eating!), practicing yoga, writing, hiking with my dogs, and running an online vintage clothing shop.

Sepideh attended South Baylo University in Ahaheim, California. Always fascinated with eastern medicine, when she became a medical doctor she wanted to pursue another aspect of Medicine. When she moved to the US, it gave her the opportunity to study Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. Being able to help patients without having them take different types of medicines or going through invasive and unnecessary procedures is what Sepideh loves the most about being an acupuncturist. She believes acupuncture is a great way to get treated while avoiding side effects of medicine. In addition, seeing patients making progress in a short period of time is exhilarating for her. Sepideh decided to become part of the Modern Acupuncture team because of the effective methods used and relaxing atmosphere. Outside of work, she enjoys walking, dancing, reading, cooking, and listening to music and watching movies.

From early childhood, Azar was fascinated with the science of diagnosing and treating patients. And when Acupuncture helped with chronic low back pain, and allergies, Azar decided to study it and become an Acupuncturist. Azar knows acupuncture can help people from both physiological and psychological aspects. It balances the functions of the organs in the body (Yin & Yang), relieves pain, and boosts immunity. Psychologically, it calms the mind, relieves stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Azar enjoys treating patients at Bunker Hill because it provides a relaxing atmosphere, different from a doctor’s office, for patients to come and experience acupuncture in a spa-like environment. Azar graduated from the American College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Houston, Texas.
