Alaine D. Duncan, M.Ac., L.Ac., Dipl.Ac.

"I am an acupuncturist, educator and researcher who integrates the neurobiology of traumatic stress with the wisdom of Chinese medicine. Over the years, the boundary between me and military families, immigrants, refugees, and survivors of natural and human-made disasters has grown more and more thin – and that is a gift of spirit. I love our medicine. I love what it can explain about life and how it can reach people whose life and health resides at the margins. It couldn’t be a more meaningful time in the world to be of service to trauma survivors."​
