“I knew nothing about acupuncture but Vicki explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable. I was amazed at how it made me feel as far as my stress level was concerned. I highly recommend this to everyone. She did an awesome job and is just a great person to get to know.”
Adam Learner, LAc, provides Functional Medicine, Acupuncture, and Chinese Herbal Medicine for the residents of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, at Family Acupuncture & Wellness. In his practice, he uses a holistic approach that combines the wisdom gathered in Chinese Medicine’s 3000 year history, with the scientific, evidence-based approach offered by Functional Medicine offers.
Having worked with thousands of patients in both private practice and hospital environments, he has learned that many patients are deeply dissatisfied by the results they receive from conventional care. They are tired of rushed appointments where they don’t feel heard, and of treatment approaches built almost entirely around drugs that only treat or suppress symptoms without addressing the underlying root cause, and often cause additional problems and side effects. He founded Family Acupuncture & Wellness, and has guided its growth, with an eye providing a different type of healthcare: one that is focused not only on helping patients find the most efficient relief from their suffering, but whenever possible works to correct the root causes that are causing the symptoms.
Adam earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from Colby College and went on to pursue his master’s degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture.
In a rare opportunity to apprentice with master herbalist Dr. Tao Xie, MD, LAc, Adam learned modern and ancient time-tested methodologies to treat many chronic medical conditions. His training placed special emphasis on women’s health issues, hormones, digestive issues and infertility.
He received extensive training and advanced certification working with cancer patients from the leading Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
He was honored to be the first Licensed Acupuncturist hired by Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, a Massachusetts General Hospital subsidiary. While there he developed a very successful program that integrates acupuncture into the traditional care, with particular focuses on working with patients undergoing cancer treatment, as well as those suffering with pain conditions that are not adequately addressed with standard care. He served on the hospital’s Integrative Therapies Committee and participated regularly with the Northern New England Spine Center.
As an accomplished speaker, he’s often invited to present lectures on Acupuncture, Functional Medicine, and healthy living at hospitals, universities and other local establishments.
Adam is board-certified to practice Acupuncture in New Hampshire, and was one of the first board-certified Herbalists in the state.
Betsy received her undergraduate degree from Colby College, and received a Master of Acupuncture (M.Ac.) from the New England School of Acupuncture in 2005. She is licensed and board-certified to practice acupuncture by the NH Board of Medicine and is a Diplomate of the NCCAOM, the national accrediting association. She also participated in a 3-year intensive training program in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
During her years in practice, Betsy has treated thousands of patients and hundreds of conditions. She is able to draw on her clinical experience and varied trainings in both traditional Chinese acupuncture and biodynamic craniosacral therapy to design comfortable, effective, and individualized care for every patient whether it be muscular-skeletal concerns, pain conditions, digestive or hormonal disorders, women’s health and fertility, or mental health concerns. By taking a holistic view of the body, and using her close listening skills (with ears and hands), she aims to help patients not only resolve their current ailments, but also optimize their health and well-being. Betsy believes in partnering with her patients to help them find ways to incorporate healthy living into their lifestyle, and help them feel well enough to lead the kind of lives they desire.
Betsy’s interests include music, meditation, the outdoors, and spending time with her husband, 3 children and the family dog.
