Being an outdoor loving, movement enthusiast, a series of knee surgeries gave Dr. Ian the empathy and perspective on the important self care, and maintaining the ability to do the things we love, to stay happy and healthy. He appreciates how quickly life, injuries, work and/or stress can take over our health, comfort, confidence and happiness.
Pulling on his Chiropractic knowledge and 14+ years of experience as a personal trainer and a wellness coach, Dr. Ian emphasizes self care strategies to empower his clients to support their bodies at home. He strives to help people connect to their own bodies, and loves to hear their stories of how they become more capable and get more joy from their lives.
On the Chiropractic table he aims to ease the tension stored in your body. Whether it is through manual adjustments, drop table, craniosacral work, breath work, soft tissue work or stretching, he will help you unwind the stress that manifests from your life experiences.
Outside the Office you’ll find Ian adventuring with his dogs on the trail, in their canoe or at the crag rock climbing. On the slower side you can easily entice him into playing hours of board games, you can find him lost in a fantasy novel or in his garden, or cooking up something healthy in the kitchen vibing out to music of all genres.
Book your initial consultation today to experience Ian's inspirational energy and knowledge for proactive health.

What is Medical Qi-Gong?
Medical Qigong ("chee-gong") is an ancient pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It focuses on addressing the root cause of disease. It does so by balancing, strengthening and regulating Qi ("chee"), the bio-electromagnetic energy that pervades all living things. Similar to other invisible forces, such as wind or gravity or magnetism, Qi is powerful and can be felt, but is not commonly seen. It is translated as “life force” and/or “vital energy” and is what makes us feel healthy and alive.
Grace Wilson,
DACM, L.Ac, Dipl. OM
Acupuncture & Plant Medicine
After completing her Bachelor of Science in Ecology at UNC Asheville, Grace began her studies in Chinese Medicine. In 2022 She graduated with Master’s (MAOM) and Doctoral (DACM) degrees from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts. While attending the four-year program, she studied with 88th generation Daoist Priest Jeffrey Yuen. Her education is largely centered in classical Chinese Medicine, steeped in Daoist philosophy, Five Element Theory, herbal medicine, and integrative treatment strategies.
Her approach to acupuncture is thoughtfully gentle and is often accompanied by herbal and food therapies as well as wellness suggestions. She is inspired by the abundant native medicinal plants of Appalachia and incorporates them in conjunction with Chinese herbal medicine with her patients. Her areas of special interest include: anxiety, depression, PTSD, hormonal imbalances, sinus relief, and pediatric care.
In addition to her acupuncture practice, Grace is most fulfilled by creating art, wild-crafting, playing with her animals, and spending time on the river. She is grateful for the opportunity to expand accessibility to alternative healthcare options and for the support of her community.
