About Megan

Megan Moon Long, L.Ac, CFMP
Board Certified Acupuncturist
Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner

As a national board certified acupuncturist and a certified functional medicine practitioner, I blend ancient healing medicine with modern knowledge & techniques into my treatments. For almost 20 years, I have honed my skill set to provide quality health care with sincerity and compassion for each patient. My treatments target the symptom and the root of illness which restores balance to the underlying causes, not purely symptom management. 

My Background

In 2005, I studied in China. This experience offered a historical and cultural perspective on the practice of Acupuncture and therapeutic health in general, which shaped my entire approach as a practitioner. I strive to create a treatment plan that addresses each individual's needs and includes various modalities of Chinese Medicine. For the past 11 years, I had the pleasure to co-own a multi-disciplinary therapeutic health spa. The acupuncture room was based on my time in China and provided a community-like style treatment approach. In this treatment setting, I saw thousands of patients in a fast paced office and treated a wide variety of conditions. The experience I gained in patient diagnostics and treatment care has been invaluable to my practice.

Now, I pivot back to private practice. I am looking forward to slowing my pace down a bit and focusing on functional medicine, skin health microneedling treatments, custom acupuncture treatments, and Chinese herbal therapies. This medicine inspires me everyday! 

When I am not seeing patients, I am spending time with the people I love - my husband, two daughters, and our goldendoodle, Murphy. You might see his sweet face at the office from time to time, but fret not, he is not allowed to assist in the treatments. 

What is my treatment style?

Many people ask me, “what kind of practitioner are you? What do you mainly treat?” Over the years, I have grown into a “family health practitioner.” I treat all generations, from infants to the elderly and everything in between. And, I have experience treating a wide variety of ailments. My specialties include treating the whole person with a variety of modalities from functional medicine, acupuncture, microneedling, to weaving in Chinese herbal medicine and nutrition therapy.  

I pride myself on educating patients on the importance of preventive health care and wellness treatments!
