I’m Dr. Shannon Freeman, D.Ac., L.Ac., Eastern Medicine Practitioner. I am a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians (Ojibwe/Cree/Metis) in Belcourt, ND. My heritage and upbringing are much of why I do what I do. I first became a Certified Nursing Aide in 1992. I then became a Licensed Massage Practitioner studying under Zdenka Daucik, a European physiotherapist who incorporated specific, long-lasting, deep treatment work into her practice. I received my Eastern Medicine Practitioner License in 2013. I recently received my Doctorate of Acupuncture from Five Branches University, researching allopathic and Eastern Medicine treatment of Lyme Disease, Epstein Bar, long-haul post-Covid, and any other treatment protocols using acupuncture and supporting healing methods. I am currently in a two-year Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine Program (D.C.E.M.) awarded by Bian Hua Gong (The Temple of Change and Transformation) Daoist Temple.

The most common patient complaints are pain, emotional issues, fertility, adrenal fatigue, and exhaustion. Through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), I provide Chinese medicine diagnoses, acupuncture, and other TCM modalities applicable to the patient’s condition.

My holistic approach includes creating patient-specific ongoing post-treatment goals and recommendations, including nutritional, dietary, lifestyle, and exercise recommendations for orthopedic issues, pain reduction, and improved function. Also, your treatment plan may include meditation and Qi Gong exercises.

I believe that combining Western and Eastern Medicine is optimal for a patient to heal.

I treat the whole person; body, mind and spirit.

I opened my acupuncture practice in Salt Lake City in 2009. I enjoy interacting with patients and treating may different conditions. I especially enjoy fertility cases, working with children, and integrating herbal medicine and supplements.

Acupuncture can be a central or integrative component of any health and well-being plan. We know this better than anyone and can make Acupuncture fit into any lifestyle.

I specialize in Kiiko Matsumoto style Japanese Acupuncture, allowing me to treat oftentimes difficult symptoms of patients who haven't received much benefit from Acupuncture in the past.

Please, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Be well!

I am a Licensed Acupuncturist who loves to help people of all ages feel more ease in their lives physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. There are over 365 acupuncture points on the body to support your body’s innate ability to heal. Anyone who receives treatment from me can learn this art of returning to a state of ease and Wellness. It is my job to stay present with you and artfully choose points to guide you on your unique path of return.
